    76. Goatman's Bridge

    76. Goatman's Bridge

    Have you heard about Goatman's Bridge - one of America's most demonic locations?

    In Texas, the Old Alton Bridge is better known by its more sinister name - Goatman's Bridge. The bridge and its surrounding woods are said to be haunted by demonic entities. 

    The legend of the KKK hanging Oscar Washburn, a successful goat farmer, from the bridge in 1938 sparked its dark origin story. Since then, the area has been a hotbed for Satanists who perform sacrificial rituals. This kind of activity has opened up what some say is "a portal to hell". 

    Glowing eyes, loud growls, scratches, and sickness have all been reported by visitors who come at night. Knock three times on the bridge and you too might see the Goatman. 

    75. The Watcher

    75. The Watcher

    Have you ever felt like someone was watching you? If you have, you probably shake off the feeling and continue what you were doing. But if you were receiving letters from someone calling themselves The Watcher, and the letters contained personal details about you and your family? What would you do then?

    The Broaddus family bought their dream home in Westfield, New Jersey; but a few days after closing they received the first of several threatening letters from The Watcher.

    You may have watched the new Netflix series, The Watcher, but listen to this episode to hear the true story.

    It's our holiday horror - not holiday whore - episode! We're bringing you two horrific holiday murder cases:

    Early Christmas morning in 1999, Stephanie Barron’s parents were murdered in their bed. With little evidence to go on, detectives scrambled to piece together the double homicide. A stolen gun, a burnt down house, and gang signs all play a role in this twisted case.

    In the festive town of Santa Claus, Georgia a quadruple murder was discovered at the Daniels house. Three of the Daniels children were found 40 miles away walking down a dirt road in the middle of the night; they were able to tell police what really happened and help lead them to the perpetrator.

    SOS - Derek Chauvin Trial

    SOS - Derek Chauvin Trial

    We are bringing you a special episode all about the Derek Chauvin trial. 

    Derek Chauvin, a former Minneapolis police officer faced three murder charges surrounding the death of George Floyd.  A black man dying in the hands of police custody is something the black community has faced for hundreds of years, but with the murder of George Floyd came an extremely disturbing video that grabbed the attention of the entire world.  George Floyd’s death became a huge catalyst in showing the racial injustice and systematic racism people of color face in America. 

    This historic trial kept Carly glued to the live stream for 3 weeks straight. During this episode she’ll give some insight into what happened during the trial, key moments she witnessed, and her thoughts and feelings on the matter. 

    The conviction of Chauvin is just a starting point towards equal justice in America. There is a lot more work to be done. Learn more about how you can help fight racial injustice using the links below:

    SOS - Danielle Bregoli / Bhad Bhabie and Ghislaine Maxwell

    Bonjour! We're bringing you some updates on the latest on-going cases.

    Danielle Bregoli, aka Bhad Bhabie, recently released a video talking about her experience at Turn-About Ranch, a school for "troubled teens" that Dr. Phil sent her to. Another Dr. Phil guest who attended Turn-About Ranch, Hannah Archuleta, is suing the school for assault. If you listened to episode 55 where we covered the Elan School, it's eerily similar.

    Ghislaine Maxwell is now facing new charges. Previously, she faced six charges, mostly around enticing minors to travel and engage in sexual activities. Two new charges were brought against Ghislaine to now include sex trafficking a minor. We're curious what will unfold at trial...
