    Do NOT Pull Over: Five of the World’s Most Haunted Roads

From the dark woods of Clinton Road to Malaysia’s infamous Karak Highway, these stretches of pavement have collected decades of terrifying stories. So lock your doors, check the backseat, and whatever you do…Do NOT pull over. Got a story to tell?

    TalHotBlond: Everybody Is Lying (Part 2)

    Part 1 left us with one hell of a plot twist, but somehow, this story is about to get even crazier. When 22-year-old Brian Barrett gets pulled into the already complicated web of lies, he begins a relationship with “Jessi,” completely unaware that she isn’t who she claims to be. Meanwhile, Thomas becomes increasingly jealous, obsessive, and angry as the online fantasy he created begins unraveling around him. Threats are made. Lines are crossed. And eventually, a love triangle built almost entirely on people pretending to be someone else ends with the one person who wasn’t lying about who he was losing his life. In Part 2 of TalHotBlond: Everybody Is Lying, we’re getting into the murder of Brian Barrett, the investigation that finally uncovered the full truth, and the absolutely insane aftermath of one of the messiest catfishing cases I’ve ever covered.

    TalHotBlond: Everybody Is Lying (Part 1)

    What started as an online romance between two 18-year-olds quickly turned into a web of lies, fake identities, and increasingly questionable decisions. Back in 2005, Thomas Montgomery, a 46-year-old former Marine, had been posing as an 18-year-old on a site called Pogo. During this time, he developed a deeply inappropriate relationship with a young, beautiful 18-year-old high school student named Jessi, who went by the screen name TalHotBlond. When Jessi begins another relationship with a younger man, jealousy and obsession begin pushing an online fantasy toward very real (and eventually deadly) consequences. And just when you think you’ve figured out who’s lying about what…think again. Part 2 drops September 30. And it. Is. Bananas. Got a story to tell?

    The Stanley Hotel: All Ghosts and No Play

    High in the mountains of Estes Park, Colorado, sits one of America's most infamous haunted hotels. The Stanley Hotel may be best known as the inspiration behind Stephen King's The Shining, but its ghosts have created a reputation all their own. This week, we're checking into Room 217. We’ll explore the Stanley's history, its connection to Stephen King, how this hotel made its way into pop culture, and the paranormal activity reported throughout the property. From phantom children and mysterious piano music to helpful housekeepers and one very affectionate cowboy, this place has plenty of spirits with zero intentions of checking out. Got a story to tell?

    The Murder of Sherri Rasmussen: A Deadly Obsession

    In 1986, 29-year-old Sherri Rasmussen was found brutally murdered inside her Los Angeles home. While investigators blamed a botched burglary, Sherri’s family repeatedly pointed toward someone much closer to the couple. For 23 years, the case went cold. Until DNA evidence revealed that Sherri’s killer wasn’t a random burglar at all. This was someone from her husband’s past who had spent decades hiding in plain sight… inside the LAPD. This week, we’re diving into the murder of Sherri Rasmussen, the evidence investigators overlooked, and the cold case that finally exposed an LAPD detective. Got a story to tell?

    Leap Castle: Ireland’s Bloody Nightmare

    Deep in County Offaly, Ireland, sits a centuries-old castle with a history of betrayal, murder, and enough paranormal activity to earn it a reputation as one of the most haunted castles in the world. 👻🏰 This week, we’re heading inside Leap Castle, where a priest was allegedly murdered by his own brother during Mass in a place called the “Bloody Chapel.” Visitors here have reported ghostly children, phantom footsteps, and uninvited bedroom guests. But nothing quite prepares you for the medieval human drop box hidden beneath the chapel. You may want to mentally prepare for this one…because depending on which accounts you believe, as many as 19 different spirits have reportedly been associated with Leap Castle. In other words, it's haunted AF. Got a story to tell? Send it in for the next episode of Boo's Clues! 📬 suspectsandspiritspod@gmail.com And help spread the word!

    It's mail time! 💌👻 This month, we've got UFOs, a glitch in the matrix, a creepy kid who somehow knew things they could not have possibly known, and a haunted house with a hell slide, Satan’s ball pit, and one very unfortunate trip to the emergency room. Then we're heading to Santa Fe, Texas, where one listener had an unexpected house guest from the Civil War era... and of all the ghosts you could end up with, a Confederate soldier is not the kind we want hanging around.

    The Keddie Cabin Murders

    On the morning of April 12, 1981, 14-year-old Sheila Sharp walked home from a sleepover and opened the door to Cabin 28. Inside, she discovered a horrific scene: her mother, Sue, her brother, John, and his best friend, Dana, had been brutally murdered. Somehow, Sheila’s two younger brothers and their friend had survived the night and were still sleeping peacefully in a nearby bedroom. But her 12-year-old sister, Tina, was nowhere to be found. What followed was an investigation filled with disturbing suspects, questionable police work, missing evidence, and clues that wouldn’t resurface for decades. More than 45 years later, the Keddie Cabin murders remain unsolved. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t some very strong opinions about who was responsible...You may want to sit down for this one.
