    Reddit Stories 6

    Reddit Stories 6

    Some more reddit stories this week. Everyone loves some r/nosleep stories! I won't go into too much about the stories. One is the story of someone playing one of those cursed games, mainly one involving an elevator. The second story is one that involves voices in your head and big money prizes!

    Old Solar Eclipse Beliefs

    Old Solar Eclipse Beliefs

    Since we had the big Solar Eclipse last week I thought it may be cool to go over some different beliefs about Solar Eclipses from around the world. Some blame the actions of disgruntled gods, others giant celestial animals, and even one with an angry kid. We hope you enjoy.

    The Flatwoods Monster, Fresno Nightcrawlers and The Brownie

    The Flatwoods Monster, Fresno Nightcrawlers and The Brownie

    Some interesting Cryptids this week. First up is the strange flatwoods monster, I personally hate this thing now, but Nate brought it to the table so I'll just add my hate for this thing onto Nate, he could use some more. Then we have the creepy looking Fresno Nightcrawlers, I've seen videos and even a few shows looking into these things. I'm not gonna say for sure but one thing I can say, fake or real, one of the videos just has a weird creepy vibe with how it walks. Last up is the Brownie (aka broonie, brùnaidh, gruagach, hobs, silkies, ùruisgs, bwbach, fenodyree), these little fellas are considered part of the fairy folk but don't ever tell them that. But they tend to like to come out in the cover of the night and be helpful for the most part.

    Marcus Wesson and The Bloody Benders

    Marcus Wesson and The Bloody Benders

    Another true crime week. First, Nate reads a story about Marcus Wesson, I really can't say much about this aside the guy is a monster, disgusting, a murderer, amongst many many other things. I've personally covered some pretty bad stories here and now it's Nates turn. Aside from the few descriptive words of this man, he's a cult leader who had children with his children and his children's children, that should be more then enough to make you loathe this man. After that horrid mans story we move on to the Bloody Benders. The Benders were a family of serial killers. In the 1870's they had a grocery/inn that they murdered out of. Many people went missing in the area and several bodies were found on their property. Amongst the people who went missing were the Benders themselves. Normally here is where I'd say "we hope you enjoy", but the first story pretty much ensures you will not.

    The Wanda Beach Murders and Christopher Wilder

    The Wanda Beach Murders and Christopher Wilder

    This week we dive back into true crime. First we head to Australia for the horrific murder of two young girls, Marianne Schmidt and Christine Sharrock. This sadly unsolved case took place in 1965 when two girls who went to the beach with family never returned home. There was a few suspects but to this date it remains unsolved. The second case branches off of the first case, as Christopher Wilder was a suspect in the Wanda Beach case, amongst many other cases all leading up to a large murder spree across America. He's known as The Beauty Queen Killer and The Snapshot Killer.

    The Axeman of New Orleans

    The Axeman of New Orleans

    Back to true crime this week. This is another unsolved case where everyone gets accused, arrested, and released, except the killer. For a short time in New Orleans and surrounding areas the people were gripped by fear as a man was sneaking into homes and murdering a total of six people. One day he breaks his silence with a message to the media which is, simply put, bizarre. Just remember to get your jazz on!

Good podcast with a friendly vibe

Always a show I look forward to listening to. Chris and Nathanial make it feel like sitting around hanging out with friends and discussing our true crime/folklore/cryptid/paranormal obsession. I love the variety of topics and dark humor.

Empathy is missing from one certain group, this certain group likes to mix with peoples, passing on the missing of empathy.
