    Cryptid Crawl #18- Louisiana! Cryptid Jambalaya

    Today we stop in Louisiana for a dive into the bayous and swamps, where we meet three Cryptids from the Pelican State- none of them birds! First, the Darlings will terrify you with the Rougarou - Is it a Werewolf? A Man? A Gator? No one knows. Then, we get deep into the vampire lore of New Orleans with the 1900's tale of Jacque St. Germain, who is rumored to be walking the streets of New Orleans to this day. Finally, you think your dad is bad? He's nothing compared to the Pere Malfait, a bayou dwelling mimic, ready to lure unsuspecting passersby into its clutches. It truly is a delicious and spicy mix of three Cryptid tales.  Message us! Hello spooky crew!

    #41 - God Bless Afroman: Lawsuits and Lemon Pound Cakes

    This week on Spooky Darlings, Emily takes Hayley and Nettie down one of the most bizarre legal rabbit holes we’ve ever covered—the Afroman defamation lawsuit. What started as a police raid on Afroman’s home quickly turned into a viral moment… and then a full-blown legal battle. After officers searched his house, Afroman used security footage from the raid in his music, merch, and social media—leading several officers to file a lawsuit against him, claiming defamation, invasion of privacy, and emotional distress. So what actually happened during the raid? What did Afroman put in his songs and videos?  Emily breaks down the timeline of the raid, the lawsuit filed by the officers, and the trial—while Hayley and Nettie react in real time to one of the strangest intersections of true crime, music, and the legal system. It’s weird. It’s messy. It’s unexpectedly hilarious. And … it involves lemon pound cake.

    #39- Left for Dead: the Case of Inna Budnytzka

    In 2005, a 21-year-old woman walked into a hotel near the Miami airport. Hours later, she was found left for dead miles away, the victim of a brutal attack. Security cameras never showed her leaving the building. No witnesses saw her walk out. How did a young woman disappear from a hotel filled with cameras without anyone noticing? How did she end up in a remote lot outside the city? In this episode, we follow the obsessive trail of a private investigator who refused to let the mystery die—and whose theory would expose a man connected to multiple violent crimes across several states.
