    It's the last episode of Season 1! Man, time flies when you're talking about aliens and murder. In this episode, Melissa explores the legend of Bigfoot - or BigTootsies, as Liz would say. Then Liz takes us down the rabbit hole of sadness and intrigue that is the unsolved murder of JonBenet Ramsey.   Bigfoot Museum in Felton, CA: www.bigfootdiscoveryproject.com Bigfoot Call Recording: https://www.distinctlymontana.com/ever-heard-samurai-sounds-supposedly-real-recording-bigfoots Melissa's Sources: https://www.livescience.com/24598-bigfoot.html http://www.bfro.net/GDB/ https://explore.berkshiremuseum.org/digital-archive/legendary-locals/supernatural-stories-bigfoot https://newengland.com/today/travel/massachusetts/berkshires/bigfoot-sighting-berkshires/ Liz's Sources: 20/20 Season 43, Episode 10, “The List: Who killed JonBenet?” Web.dailycamera.com/extra/ramsey/1997/12/26-2.html

    Episode 009: Repurposing Gone Wrong and a Possible Time Traveler???

    When we said you should up-cycle, we didn't mean like that! This week Liz is talking about Ed Gein - the notorious killer who got crafty with the skin and body parts of his victims. Gag. Then, fueled by 1.21 gigawatts of power, Melissa spins a yarn about a man named Sergei Ponomalenko; a man who claims to have time-traveled 50 years into the future. Do we believe him?

    Episode 008: Philosophizing on Near Death & Cannibalism

    This week we're here to make you think. Melissa and Liz both chose topics that have many layers and much to dissect. First, Melissa talks about the Near Death Experience of Mary Neal, MD., and the many questions and mysteries that surround the topic of life after death. Then, Liz discusses the case of Gilberto Valle - a man who openly fantasized about his cannibalistic desires in online forums, even bringing his wife and baby into the mix. This one raises a lot of questions on where we draw the line when it comes to freedom of speech and freedom of thought.

    Episode 007: Cults, Extraterrestrials, & the Woman Who Married a Zombie

    This week we leaned HEAVILY into the "odd" side of things. First, Liz tells us the story of a murder that is possibly linked to a strange cult-like group called the Orgone Warriors who warn their followers about “reptilian” extraterrestrials living secretly as humans. Yikes. Then, Melissa serves up another strange topic: Objectum Sexuality. People who identify as Objectum Sexuals find themselves sexually attracted to inanimate objects like dolls, buildings, and carnival rides. Double yikes. This is a weird one, y'all - are you here for it?

    Episode 006: Meth and Murder with Guest Host Meaghan!

    Liz is out this week doing hot girl shit (that's what the kids are saying now, right?) - but never fear - Meaghan is here! Our good friend has graced Melissa with her presence so she didn't have to fly solo for Episode 006, which is a doozy. This week, Melissa steps behind the true crime desk to tell the story of Josh Lambert and the two horrific murders he committed back in 2012 in the small town of Oak Harbor, Washington. This story is close to Melissa's heart as it happened in her home town and she actually knew this family back in the day. This is a super crazy story of which the moral is: don't do meth.

    Episode 005: Alien Abductions and The Old Lady Killer

    Has it already been five episodes?? This week we get a little extra...terrestrial as Melissa recounts the story of Terry Lovelace, a man who had an out-of-this-world experience while on a camping trip with his friend Toby. That's right, we're finally talking ALIENS! Melissa's favorite topic! Then Liz recounts the story of Juana Barraza aka "The Old Lady Killer", who was a little bit David Bowie, a little bit Hulk Hogan. You'll see what we mean. Just listen. Side note: please excuse our extra silliness and many tangents this week - we think those brownies we ate before recording might have been "special".  Link to Terry’s book: Incident at Devil’s Den https://www.amazon.com/Incident-Devils-story-Terry-Lovelace-ebook/dp/B07B7HMPPZ Terry’s Website (cool photos, drawings, and info found here!): www.terrylovelace.com Link to Weird Beard Podcast’s interview with Terry Lovelace: https://www.buzzsprout.com/792059/6887597-alien-abduction-devil-s-den-with-terry-lovelace OTHER SOURCES: https://www.nwaonline.com/news/2020/apr/05/one-man-s-ufo-story-author-discusses-li/ https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2020/may/31/we-re-not-alone-20200531/ Source's for Liz's Story: https://www.fastcompany.com/90287443/5-true-crime-stories-way-more-interesting-than-another-ted-bundy-movie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juana_Barraza https://criminalminds.fandom.com/wiki/Juana_Barraza
