    Tape 20: Love Canal - What Lies Beneath

    Welcome, creeps... In this episode of The Umbra Tapes, we’re uncovering the dark history of Love Canal, where thousands of tons of chemical waste were buried before homes, a school, and an entire community took its place. Years later, that hidden past began resurfacing with devastating consequences. We’re exploring how it happened, the families who fought to expose the truth, and the environmental disaster that changed the community forever.

    Tape 16: Voice from Beyond the Grave: The Murder Of Teresita Basa

    Welcome, creeps... In this episode, we explore the strange murder of Teresita Basa. A case that may have been solved by the victim herself. Months after Teresita was murdered in her Chicago apartment, another woman began entering trance-like states and speaking in a voice claiming to be Teresita. The voice named her killer and revealed details about the crime that ultimately led investigators straight to a suspect. Was Teresita really speaking from beyond the grave, or is there another explanation for how her murder was solved?
