Where desert winds carry secrets and mountains whisper old stories, where history refuses to stay buried. We’re a podcast for everyone — the curious, the skeptical, the believers, the history lovers, the late-night thinkers, and the people who just love a good story. Based in the legendary Four Corners region — where New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, and Utah meet — we dive deep into the mysteries that haunt this rugged and beautiful land. Each episode explores stories rooted in the Four Corners, including stories of murder, crime, aliens, cryptids, ghosts, and history. Contact Us: thearkinshearthpodcast@gmail.com

    Black Eyed Children and The Proposal

    Tonight on Arkin’s Hearth, we enter the legend of the Black-Eyed Children, strange children with impossible eyes, terrifying requests, and one chilling rule: they need your permission to come inside. From the 1990s origins of the legend to reported encounters across the Four Corners, we explore the witnesses, folklore, investigations, hoaxes, and enduring question: what are the Black-Eyed Children?

    Sasha Krause: A Journey Through Faith, Hate, and Murder

    A quiet Mennonite community in Farmington, New Mexico, is shattered when 27-year-old Sasha Krause disappears while making a simple trip to her church to collect books for Sunday school. More than a month later, her body is discovered in a forest outside Flagstaff, Arizona—and an investigation spanning two states begins to unravel a disturbing trail of cell-phone evidence, conflicting stories, firearms, surveillance, and deep resentment toward the Mennonite faith. Join tonight's host, The Ginger, with her co-hosts, The Pixie, Thorin Wolf, and Michael Jason Chandler, around the Arkin's Hearth as we explore the disappearance and murder of Sasha Krause, the investigation into Mark Gooch, and the evidence that ultimately led to a conviction. But this isn't just a story about a killer. It's about Sasha Krause, a daughter, sister, teacher, writer, and woman of faith whose life was taken far too soon.

    Thomas Niel Cream also Thorin and Ginger hate dentist's

    Step into the dark world of Thomas Neill Cream, the Victorian doctor who turned medicine into murder. In this episode of The Arkins Hearth, we explore the chilling true story of the infamous Lambeth Poisoner, whose victims trusted him with their lives only to be betrayed by the very man sworn to heal them. Along the way, we separate fact from fiction, examining Jason's mistaken late-night research mistake where he believed false rumors of possible victims in the American Southwest.
