    Toy Box Killer Part 2: Sick Moms, Feral Kids, and the Worst Man Alive

    Lauren showed up today in the most fragile, unmotivated, “if I cough one more time I’m calling OSHA” state imaginable — and yet…we persist. Barely. Blame the public school germ factory (respectfully…disrespectfully…fuck them kids). Energy levels are on life support, but the chaos? Oh, the chaos is THRIVING. We’re still riding high on our HauntFest excitement while Lauren’s daughter delivers a completely unprompted, deeply concerning TED Talk on buttholes mid-recording (??? no context, no warning, just vibes). Mischa is snoring like she pays rent, waking only to beg for snacks, butt scratches, and commit acts of violence against her cat brother Sam — which includes, but is not limited to, attempting to swallow his entire head this morning. Siblings 💕. There’s also a fully unplanned ADHD spiral about that situation because obviously there is. Once we regain the smallest ounce of composure, we wrap up the absolutely horrific case of David Parker Ray. This is Part 2, where we go deeper into the psychology behind what he did, how someone becomes that level of monster, and the lasting impact on victims. And just to be crystal clear — we are NOT kink shaming the BDSM community. Consent matters. What he did was abuse, torture, and evil. Period. It’s unhinged. It’s sleep-deprived. It’s mildly feral. And somehow…we finished the episode.

    This Episode Starts With Trauma and Ends With Possession (Cool Cool Cool)

    First of all…yeah. We KNOW part 1 of David Parker Ray was…a lot. Like emotionally destabilizing, sleep-with-the-lights-on, question-your-faith-in-humanity a lot. He f*****g sucks. We hate him. You hate him. The vibes were rancid. Thank you for surviving that with us — therapy is encouraged, hydration is mandatory. BUT—✨balance✨—we are STILL ridiculously hyped to be boo’d up with HauntFest because spooky season is a lifestyle and we refuse to let men like that ruin our ghost girl autumn. Today’s episode is a chaotic whiplash of vibes because we immediately teleport to the ✨haunted depths✨ of the Black Forest — where it’s dark, it’s dense, and it absolutely feels like something is watching you (and probably judging you). Folklore? Cursed energy? Vibes that say “do NOT go off the path”? Yes. All of it. Meanwhile, GhostTube is back and acting like it pays rent — RUDE, DEMANDING, and personally targeting Courtney like she owes it money. The ghost(s)? Disrespectful. The commentary? Unhinged. The tension? PALPABLE. The entertainment value? Unfortunately…very high. And because we clearly hate having peace, we spiral directly into demonic possession — what it is, how it allegedly happens, and why every single explanation (religious OR scientific) somehow still leaves us deeply unsettled. Are we talking oppression, obsession, full-blown possession? Yep. Are we questioning every weird noise in our house now? ALSO yep. So buckle up. It’s spooky forests, rude ghost apps, and demons (casual). What could possibly go wrong?

    Toy Box Killer Part 1: Emotional Damage Incoming

    Buckle up, besties, because this is your HUGE HUGE HUGE very serious trigger warning. We are not kidding. If you’re easily disturbed, this is your moment—turn it off, skip it, protect your peace. We will love you for it. …still here? Okay. Don’t say we didn’t warn you. This week wrecked Lauren. She procrastinated HARD because the first time she heard this case, it stuck with her for days—no sleep, constant replay, full mental spiral. It got so bad she had to buy a journal just to get it out of her head. So naturally…we decided to cover it 🙃 BUT ALSO—we are still boo’d up with HauntFest 👻 and thriving (emotionally? no. professionally? yes). Today we’re covering David Parker Ray aka The Toy Box Killer—and there is absolutely NO way we could do this in one sitting without losing our sanity. So this is Part 1 of a very heavy two-parter. We go into his early life (including his absolute garbage father exposing him to sadomasochistic material way too young), then dive into the horrifying reality of the “Toy Box”—what was inside, what it was used for, and the calculated nightmare he created. We touch on victims—but focus mainly on the one who escaped because that is literally all we can handle today without emotionally shutting down. We also share the beginning of the audio recording he played for victims after they regained consciousness. We will NOT be sharing the full transcript or source—if you go looking, that’s on you. You cannot unhear it. By the end, Lauren is nauseous (even editing this was rough), and Courtney has taken up permanent residence on the Struggle Bus. This episode is heavy. We are not okay. And we still have Part 2.

    Dog ASMR, a Screaming Tunnel That Hates Us, and a REAL Exorcism Gone Horribly Wrong 😳🔥👻

    Welcome back, sinners and emotional support chaos gremlins — we missed you. Probably. 😌 We kick things off with the long-awaited return of Mischa ASMR… except plot twist: she is a dog, not a child, so what you’re actually getting is aggressive sniffing, questionable licking noises, and the occasional mysterious crunch that no one can identify. Our listeners? Obsessed. Mischa herself? Half asleep, still begging for snacks like she just ran a marathon instead of napping for 14 hours straight. She’s acting like she hasn’t slept in five years, but don’t be fooled — this is a full-time professional napper. Lauren’s husband would also like it noted (again) that short episodes are unacceptable, so congratulations — this one is legally required to be long. We don’t make the rules. (He does.) GhostTube is back and somehow worse than usual — rude, demanding, and acting like she’s HR for the afterlife. Interrupting us, judging us, and generally bringing an attitude that no one asked for but we’re forced to endure. Mischa continues her side quest of Snack Acquisition™ throughout the episode, and honestly, she’s closer to success than we are to understanding GhostTube’s attitude problem. We’re still riding the high of our ✨HauntFest.net✨ partnership because we are THRIVING (and also still asking for a rage room, respectfully). This week, we dive into the Screaming Tunnel — a place where there are no ghosts, just the deeply cursed experience of lighting a match and hearing a scream that will absolutely make you question every life choice that led you there. Science says it’s probably acoustics. We say it’s a personal attack. Then we spiral HARD into the case of Anneliese Michel, where things go from “hmm interesting” to “absolutely not” in record time. We break down the exorcism, the disturbing audio, the religious context, and the ongoing debate of possession vs. severe mental illness — and spoiler alert: there are no comforting conclusions here. And just when we think we’ve made it out alive… the demon static shows up at the end. Because of course it does. It has impeccable timing and a personal vendetta. Anyway, enjoy the chaos. Stay haunted. And if your dog starts doing ASMR in the middle of the night… mind your business. 👀

    The Black Dahlia, A Church Murder, and 47 Gallons of 7 Brew

    First things first: we know the episode is late. Please lower the pitchforks. Lauren is currently getting her ass thoroughly kicked by depression, and unfortunately mental health does not care about podcast schedules. On top of that, Daylight Savings Time came in like a sleep-depriving demon and absolutely wrecked everyone’s internal clock. Both Lauren and Courtney slept in like two Victorian children with consumption. Lauren is also still (or again?? who even knows anymore) sick after going on a stress-fueled, caffeine-powered spring cleaning rampage that nearly took her out. Was it a good idea to drink obscene amounts of caffeine while deep cleaning? No. Did it happen anyway? Also yes. Also, before anyone says anything — Lauren does NOT have a 7 Brew problem. She has a 7 Brew lifestyle (still not sponsored - We're looking at you, 7 Brew!). A personality trait. A spiritual dependency, if you will. Meanwhile we are still ridiculously excited about our HauntFest partnership because nothing pairs better with emotional instability than haunted attractions and questionable life choices. This week we dive into the horrifying and endlessly mysterious murder of The Black Dahlia, Elizabeth Short — one of the most infamous unsolved cases in American history. It’s got suspicious men, terrible police work, about 9,000 suspects, and more conspiracy theories than the internet can responsibly handle. We spiral into the timeline, the investigation, the media circus, and the absolute chaos that followed… while trying not to scream into the void about how none of it makes sense. Then we jump into the deeply disturbing 1974 murder of Arlis Perry, a case that takes place inside a church at Stanford and somehow manages to get progressively more unsettling the deeper you go. Ritualistic elements? Extremely suspicious behavior? Investigators side-eyeing basically everyone? Yep. It’s dark, it’s bizarre, and it sends us into yet another chaotic rabbit hole while Lauren attempts to stay conscious and Courtney tries to keep the train on the tracks (she fails).

    GhostTube Is Rude, Corvin Castle Is Haunted, and Shadow Children Can Leave

    This week’s episode is short, chaotic, and slightly unhinged because after the absolute novel we dropped on y’all last week — and the chaos that’s coming over the next couple episodes — we decided everyone deserved a tiny paranormal breather. Like a snack-sized haunting. A haunted appetizer, if you will. We are still proudly partnered with HauntFest (go check them out immediately), but unfortunately 7Brew continues to ignore the greatest sponsorship opportunity of their lives, which is frankly a tragedy for Lauren’s caffeine addiction. And of course GhostTube has returned, once again interrupting us with its usual sass, judgment, and ghostly attitude problems, because apparently the spirits feel very strongly about being part of this podcast now. Today we take a quick trip to Corvin Castle, one of the creepiest castles in Europe that looks like Dracula himself designed it during a bad mood. Naturally, the vibes are immaculate if your vibe is dark medieval torture castle with ghost problems. Somewhere in the middle of all that chaos, Courtney re-tells the childhood demon experience that permanently altered the way she sleeps for the rest of her life. We’re talking NO OPEN DOORS EVER. PERIODT. Doors must be closed. Hallways must not be visible. Darkness must be managed. Because if you can see the hallway… something in the hallway can see you. This spirals us directly into a discussion about shadow people, which honestly none of us were emotionally prepared for. Shadow adults? Suspicious but manageable. Creepy shadow figures standing in corners? Not ideal, but survivable. Shadow children? Absolutely the f**k NOT. Immediate nope. Instant eviction from reality. Between Courtney’s demon story, the nightmare fuel that is Corvin Castle, and GhostTube being rude as hell the entire episode, this short little break episode somehow still manages to spiral completely out of control — just the way we like it. 👻

    Big Feelings, Bigger Screaming

    Buckle up, sinners. This episode is ✨emotionally unstable✨.   We are STILL absolutely feral over partnering with HauntFest (catch us screaming into the void about it at HauntFest.net 👻). Like… we’re thriving. We’re glowing. We’re haunted but sponsored.   Also — and this is not subtle — 7Brew, if you’re listening… Lauren would like to formally announce her dependence. This is not a joke. This is a cry for help wrapped in a caramel blondie with extra sweet cream. Please partner with us before her bank account files a restraining order.   Now. Deep breath.   Today we spiral into the murder of Nicole Brown Simpson and the trial of O. J. Simpson — and yes, we absolutely unravel when we get to that verdict. Courtney has a full, televised, five-stage-grief meltdown the second we hear “not guilty.” We scream. We question reality. We question the justice system. We question our life choices.   And of course, we talk about Johnny Cochran and his now-infamous line: “If the glove doesn’t fit, you must acquit.”   Ma’am. Sir. The glove? THE GLOVE?? Courtney is not okay.   Then, because apparently we hate emotional stability, we dive into the murder of Faith Hedgepeth — technically “unsolved” (trial pending later this year 👀), and we have QUESTIONS. So many questions. Courtney attempts to read her notes and instead invents a new dialect of English. It’s giving phonics but make it crime podcast.   Meanwhile, Mischa once again has VERY BIG FEELINGS about the people in the house. The spirits are judging. The vibes are off. Someone is apparently breathing wrong. The energy is hostile. We are unwell.   In this episode:   Justice system rage   Courtroom chaos   Coffee addiction pleas   True crime emotional damage   A cat who absolutely owns this house   And at least one co-host threatening to quit (probably)   If you came for stability, this is not that podcast. If you came for unhinged true crime with emotional whiplash and caffeine-fueled screaming?   Welcome home. 👻

    GhostTube Is On Its Bullsh*t & We’re Tired

    Gather ‘round, gremlins. 👻✨ We are STILL aggressively, spiritually, emotionally, financially excited about partnering with HauntFest. Yes, we’re bringing it up again. Yes, we will continue bringing it up. Yes, you will go to 👉 HauntFest.net 👻 Haunted houses, spooky vendors, vibes that say “this could go wrong” — it’s everything we stand for. Today’s haunted chaos menu: 🏚️ The McRaven House in Vicksburg, MS — allegedly the “most haunted house in Mississippi,” featuring Civil War energy, lingering spirits, and the overwhelming feeling that something is standing directly behind you but when you turn around it’s just your poor life choices. 😈 The exorcism of Roland Doe — the real-life case that inspired The Exorcist and includes scratching noises, flying objects, Latin phrases, and enough documented weirdness to make you sleep with a light on for the rest of your natural life. Meanwhile… 📱 GhostTube is HIGHLY active and fully on its nonsense again. Interrupting. Roasting us. Saying cryptic one-word messages like it’s auditioning for a horror ARG. We asked for paranormal evidence, not attitude, but here we are. 🚫 And before anyone asks: we will NOT be covering the suicide dog bridge. Ever. That’s trauma we will never emotionally recover from. Some things are too sad. We have boundaries. Rare, but present. 🚽 Also, Mischa is absolutely terrified and hiding from the plumber. Is he just fixing pipes? Yes. Does that matter? No. The vibes are suspicious. The anxiety is high. The ghost app is somehow involved. Expect: • Paranormal chaos • Demon-adjacent static • At least one “nope, absolutely not” • GhostTube acting like it pays rent • Mischa whispering from a safe location • Lauren spiraling responsibly • HauntFest enthusiasm at inappropriate moments It’s haunted history, demonic lore, plumbing anxiety, and app-based disrespect. Light a candle. Check your attic. Lock your doors. Avoid bridges. And go to HauntFest.net 👻
