    The Salem Witch Hunt

    We all know the story. In 1692, citizens of Salem, MA, were accused, tried, convicted, and sentenced to death for witchcraft. But there is so much more to the story. In total, 19 people were hanged after being convicted of being a witch, but more people died as a result of these proceedings and the entire community was forever changed by this very brief period of time. The witch hunt lasted only a few months, but the citizens of Salem had to live the rest of their lives knowing their neighbors had accused them of a crime that was punishable by death. Despite its dark past, Salem is a vibrant, inclusive community where everyone is free to be exactly who they are without fear of judgement.     Come along with Hannah and Jessica as they discuss the Salem witch hunt but mostly how much they love Salem.    CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussions of hangings, homicide, child abuse, and general injustice.

    The Deadpool Killer

    In October 2019, two women from neighboring towns in Florida were murdered on the same day by the same man. Their cases weren’t connected right away because there was nothing that connected these two women; they were strangers. It wasn’t until police received a tip from a father, reporting his son had killed these two women, that they knew for sure. Wade Wilson had called and told his dad everything including where he was hiding out. Because his dad did the right thing, they were able to locate and arrest Wade that night.  Unfortunately, Wade had a track record of abusing and sexually assaulting women. He had been arrested multiple times in the past but was always released and was sometimes even bailed out by the women he abused. This time though, he would be tried, convicted, and placed on death row.  Come along with Hannah and Bob as they discuss pumpkin spice everything, Joe’s Crab Shack, and Presa Canario puppies.  CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussions of sexual assault, domestic violence, and homicide.

    All the Murders with a Connection to Hooters

    In 2025, Hooters (yes, that Hooters) declared bankruptcy and said they wanted to go back to their family friendly roots. In this episode, Hannah tells Bob all about their roots and the ideals that the original Hooters was based on. Because of these ideals, the servers at Hooters were often viewed as objects by their customers which lead to some really scary situations and possibly even murder.  Between 1997 and 2002, there were three murders in multiple states with connections to Hooters restaurants. In early 2010, within weeks of each other, there were two more murders of young women who had connections to Hooters as well. Hooters never commented on any of these murders or offered condolences or support to the victims’ families. But Hooters itself isn’t necessarily the problem; the biggest problem with all of these murders was men believing women owed them something or viewing women as less than or thinking someone being nice to them is the same as a genuine romantic interest.  Come along with Hannah and Bob as they discuss extolling rain’s virtues, wearing bright orange khakis, and the ABCs (Always Be Cautious).    CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussions of sexual assault, violence, and homicide.

    The Naga Fireballs

    Welcome to the first Spooky B*tch Sprint! In this episode, Hannah tells Bob about the Naga Fireballs. The Naga Fireball Festival occurs every October in Thailand to celebrate the mystical glowing balls that shoot up from the Mekong River. Legend has it the Naga, which are giant serpents that live in the river, shoot up these fireballs every year in celebration of the end of Vassa, a Buddhist tradition. There are multiple theories for why this phenomenon might occur including flammable gases, Laos soldiers firing flares, or that it’s just a hoax. But we at Spooky B*tch Walk like to think it’s the Naga sending up fireballs of joy.  CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains strong language.

    The Death of Baby Annabelle: The Skylar Richardson Story

    In 2017, Skylar Richardson was a senior in high school. She had struggled with an eating disorder in the past so her parents were pleasantly surprised when she started gaining weight. She looked happy and healthy. Skylar was popular and had a boyfriend. Her mom insisted Skylar get on birth control if she was going to have a serious boyfriend so she scheduled an appointment with a doctor. During this appointment, her mom stayed in the waiting room and Skylar went back by herself. When she came out of her appointment, it was clear Skylar had been crying but her mom didn’t ask any questions.  What Skylar’s parents didn’t know was that Skylar was keeping a big secret: she was pregnant and was due around the time of her senior prom. Skylar delivered her baby by herself in the bathroom at home and when she discovered that the baby wasn’t breathing, she buried her in the backyard of the Richardson home and told no one.  Once this was discovered, Skylar was accused of murdering her baby which she emphatically denied. After an interrogation where she was seemingly coerced into confessing that she had burned her baby, she was arrested and brought to trial. Luckily, the jury was able to see who Skylar really was and acquitted her of the murder and manslaughter charges.  CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussions of infant death and abuse of a corpse.

    The Beautiful Life and Senseless Murder of Sasha Krause

    Sasha Krause was just 27 years old when she was abducted and senselessly murdered. She lived in a Mennonite community in Farmington, New Mexico, where she taught Sunday school. She lived a peaceful and pious life. She loved to write poems and hymns and would have continued writing and sharing her goodness with the world if her life hadn’t been cut short by a selfish monster.  Mark Gooch had been raised in a Mennonite community in Wisconsin. When he turned 18, he joined the Air Force which goes against the Mennonite faith. Supposedly, he held a grudge against the Mennonite community and wanted to bring them down. This thirst for vengeance is what led him to start surveilling the Mennonite community in Farmington and led him to randomly choose Sasha as his first victim. Luckily, he was caught right away before he could murder anyone else, but the damage had already been done for Sasha’s family and friends.  Come along with Hannah and her mom as they discuss recorders, crank windows, and how we need more peace in the world.   CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussions of abduction and homicide.

    Pascagoula Alien Abduction

    On October 11, 1973, Charlie Hickson and Calvin Parker were fishing on the Pascagoula River after a long shift at the shipyard. Everything was going smoothly, until suddenly, they both heard a “zipping” noise behind them and saw bright blue lights. They turned around and saw some sort of craft hovering about the ground. Then, three beings came out of the craft and grabbed each man by the arm and brought them on their spaceship. The two men were then separated and put in different rooms where they were scanned by different devices. They were both unable to move as if these beings had paralyzed them. Then, the beings took the men off their ship and placed them back where they had found them.  Charlie and Calvin didn’t know what to do. At first, they agreed to not tell anyone what had happened to them. However, when they started driving away, Charlie thought of his family and worried that maybe these beings were coming back to attack. He decided he had to tell the authorities. So Charlie and Calvin went to the police station to give a statement. The police didn’t believe them at first, but after leaving the two men in a room with a hidden recording device and listening to their conversation when they thought no one could hear them, the police definitely believed them.  Charlie and Calvin were both traumatized by this event, but Calvin even more so than Charlie. This haunted him for years and years. It took him 18 years before he finally opened up to his wife about this experience. After this, he felt stronger and more prepared to share his stories with others as well.  Both men have passed away, but they both stuck to the same story until the day they died. So what do you think? Was this some shared hallucination or were they abducted by aliens?   CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussions of alien abduction and PTSD.
