    The Monster Of New Orleans: The Disturbing Story Of Madame LaLaurie

    New Orleans is full of dark history, but few stories are as disturbing as the one behind the name Madame Delphine LaLaurie. Behind the doors of one of the city’s most infamous mansions, rumors of cruelty, torture, and unimaginable horrors would eventually expose a side of New Orleans society that was far darker than anyone wanted to believe.  When a fire broke out at the LaLaurie mansion in 1834, what was discovered inside shocked the city and left behind a legacy of horror that continues to haunt the French Quarter. In this episode of Weekly Bizarre, we’re diving into the disturbing history of Madame LaLaurie, the events that made her infamous, and the chilling legends and ghost stories that still surround her name. But where does the documented history end, and where do the darker legends begin? Because some houses become famous for who lived in them. Others become infamous for what happened behind closed doors. And the LaLaurie mansion? Its darkest stories may never fully be known.

    Bizarre Bedtime Stories: Something Is Wrong With Mirrors Ep. 5

    There’s something unsettling about mirrors, especially when you’re standing in a dark room, staring at your own reflection, and suddenly becoming a little too aware of how strange it all is. You move, it moves. You blink, it blinks. But what if, just for a second, it didn’t? Tonight, we’re getting into creepy stories involving mirrors. The kind that make you question what someone really saw, what was standing behind them, and why a simple reflection can suddenly become something you don’t want to look at anymore. Maybe it’s the way a reflection can look almost human but still feel strangely unfamiliar. Maybe it’s the shadows lurking behind you, the way your face seems to change in the darkness, or the uncomfortable thought that you’re looking at yourself from the other side of the glass. Whatever it is, mirrors have a way of making the familiar feel wrong. So settle in, get comfortable, and join me in these creepy stories surrounding the glass we look into every single day. Because tonight, we’re not just looking in the mirror. We’re wondering what might be looking back.

    Daphne Minx & Vortex 29: Sex Ghosts, Spirits, & Something Much Darker

    What if the people who experience the strangest things aren’t looking for attention… they’re simply trying to understand what’s happening to them? This week on Weekly Bizarre, we’re heading to California and into the unusual world of Daphne Minx and her home, Vortex29. Daphne has spent years embracing the strange, creating a space where people could feel accepted, explore the unexplained, and share experiences that might sound unbelievable to everyone else. But behind the warmth and openness of Vortex29 were stories that were anything but ordinary. Unexplained activity. Strange encounters. And yes… even the infamous stories of sexual spirits. Whatever was happening inside Vortex29, Daphne never seemed interested in making people feel ashamed of what they experienced. She listened, she explored, and she remained open to the possibility that there are things we simply don’t understand. What if the strangest thing about Vortex29 wasn’t the people who lived there… but whatever else was living there with them?
