This week there's no clever title we're sticking with the name coined for a series of stories that take place along the highway that makes the devastating facts of the case all too clear on its own. Links to the references I would highly recommend for any further independent study on this topic: Highway of Tears Documentary you can watch the Official Trailer here and the Highway of Tears Book. 📖 This week were sharing a promo for Sipping with Snapped a true crime podcast! If you're enjoying ou...

If you live in the Portland, OR area, you might be in luck! Today we’re talking about some good options for shelter, if… and when the zombie apocalypse happens! We’ll also go over some fun ways to prep for an outbreak, including learning the Thriller dance! This episode wouldn’t be complete if we didn’t include an origin story about everyones favorite (love to hate - hate to love) monster. So grab a coffee, a Sammich, maybe your slowest friend, and come see what tips you can gather from this fun...

Nancy Crampton Brophy is among the most duplicitous of dames, and you guessed it - she left a trail of “I did it” bread crumbs for detectives. As both an aspiring romance/thriller writer and an insurance sales person she thought she could write a different ending to her story. Much like her reportedly fumbling attempts in the literary world it didn't quite work out like she planned. When she murdered her husband Daniel Craig Brophy we bet she never expected her dumb mistakes would bring her to j...

We start this episode by going over the meaning of a lost crystal. Sadly, Cassie recently experienced this and wanted to share her findings. Then while we’re already on a witchy topic, we might as well cover the Witch’s Castle in Portland, OR! Local legends swirl around this magical, abandoned, moss covered, stone building. But there is more than just urban legend buried in the dark history of the land. I mean this place HAS to be creepy, since it's situated VERY near two of our other show topic...

Prepare for jet lag. We visit a long list of places with this case: Florida, Oregon, Washington, Iowa, Louisiana, Texas, South Carolina, Arizona, Tennessee, even British Columbia. We're reminded of the importance of proper evidence collection as this episode stirs some memories of both Episode 13 as well as other cases where DNA led to the discovery of the alleged perpetrator (like in Episode 43). We've also stumbled onto some other incredibly sad case topics that will no doubt spill into the we...

For this very phallic episode, Trevin is joined by Caitlyn and Cassie of PNW Haunts & Homicides. The three dive into the dilemmas of fast podcasts, poor sleep and what happens when your lawn mower tries to breakup with you. Before stories, Trevin shares a Killer Fact that leaves the girls believing in magic. Then it's time to get nuts, as our powers combine to complete the perfect male member. Today's Stories: The Serial Banana Biter OH NUTS! You can follow Seriously Sinister on their social...

We celebrate our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!! 🥳🍾🥂 We’re also officially launching our brand new MERCH!! 🎉 We’ve poured our blood, sweat, & more than a few tears into this. 🤷🏼‍♀️😂 We spent the night at The McMenamins White Eagle Saloon & Hotel in North Portland, OR and learned the history of the building as we talked about the paranormal encounters at the saloon. We did our tarot reading on site, in the hopes that the spirits might lend us a hand! Stick around after the tarot reading for the ghost hunt...

This week we're digging a bit deeper into Kirby Anthoney's crimes. We'd really rather not. We just celebrated our one year podiversary but, of course, we have to come back and finish this horrific case up. We'll cut to the chase, there's not a single redeeming feature or fact in the case to be found on his behalf. Last week we talked briefly about his early life and the horrific crimes he commit in his home state of Idaho before moving to Alaska. There, in Anchorage, the triple homicide in the N...

Kirby Anthoney might be one of the most dangerous and inconceivably violent criminals that you’ve probably never heard of. Though he was born just two days before Christmas he was certainly no gift to anyone that crossed his path. He commit horrible crimes in his home state of Idaho before his eventual arrest for a vicious attack against his own family, resulting in his 357 year sentence behind bars. The triple homicide in the Newman home was so brutal it mangled a marriage as well as family bon...

The Patreon gets a bonus episode covering more of the salacious scandal. Just remember the important points from the safety briefing, put your own oxygen mask first before assisting others...

This week we're sticking a little too close to home for comfort. Ever heard of Ardenwald? Don't worry, we hadn't either but remember the name because this is the setting for the start of a new, short case series that will explain an idiom most of us probably didn't realize was based on actual historical events. This Case Series: Part 1 - Episode 53: The Many Mysteries of the Ardenwald Axe Murders Part 1.5 - Episode 53.5: Ardenwald - Odd Men Held as Murder Suspects Part 2 - Episode 54: The Man f...

No, you don’t need to get your eyes checked… That’s right, we’re doing something we said we’d NEVER do - covering the homicides of Ted Bundy! I guess that’s why we created the hashtag #neverbundy. Now we’ve said it so much that it’s lost all meaning! (Or has it?) But we’ve found some insightful information that we think will put a new spin on ol’ Teddy Boi’s egregious crimes. He confessed to stealing the lives of 30 women, from the Pacific Northwest all the way on down to Florida, and oh so much...

It’s your lucky day! Follow us to the end of the rainbow this week, where we not only find a pot o’ gold, but some history & lore of leprechauns! Then we bring it back to the Pacific Northwest with Portland, Oregon’s Mill Ends Park. This just so happens to be the worlds smallest park & home to “the only leprechaun colony west of Ireland!” We hear the quirky tales of how this park was discovered by local journalist & WWII veteran, Dick Fagan. Grab a Guinness, some four-leaf clovers, your very bes...

We’re finally getting together with our good friends from the Canadian based podcast, Disturbingly Pragmatic!

This week as we wrap up the Bruce McArthur case we have two cards in our weekly spoiler post on the socials. You'll have to tune in for Cassie's explanation to find out why. Someone in Toronto has been a very, very bad Santa. This is our official conclusion to the case series but without giving too much away let's just say that McArthur's notoriously evil crimes are going to come up in conversation again very soon. We can't wait to share with you next week an extended episode with maximum tarot ...
