10 Years of Fear! The Stalking Nightmare of BIL...
For years, too many years actually, the Wackers asked themselves the same questions over and over: "Who?", "How?", and most of all, "Why?". Because for nearly a decade, Bill and Dorothy Wacker, who were just a peaceful elderly couple living in small town Ohio, were the victims of constant and persistent harassment. Harassment that defied logic and only continued to escalate over the years.

Mystery in Vermont: The HAUNTING Disappearances...
What exactly is the deal with The Bennington Triangle? Are these odd occurrences and missing people happening completely independently and it’s just a coincidence that they happen in the same place. OR is there something else to it? A darker, even paranormal explanation that this area of Vermont is somehow responsible for causing bad things to happen?

Israel Smith disappeared on March 10th of 08 without a trace at all…it was very strange for everyone in the community to say the least. To this day no hard evidence has been discovered to point to where he went or what happened to him…..But of course anyone close to the case has their theory and those vary greatly. No matter which one you pick, none of them make a whole lot of sense AND at the end of the day they are just theories.

To put in context, In Alaska since 1988, more than 16,000 people have dissappeared which is a huge number. For every 100,000 people, 164 of them have gone missing which is far higher than any other state by a long shot as the 49 states average out to around just 6 people missing per 100,000. Those figures aren’t skewed for effect for the sake of this episode, it’s a fact and so the question becomes….what exactly is going on in Alaska?

Today we’re diving deep into the legend of Cropsey…the boogyman for lack of a better term, that haunts the woods of Staten island. His story is one that everyone who lives there has heard…it varies a bit in details depending on who you hear it from but all the tales about Cropsey share the same base about an escaped mental patient who now hides in the woods and only comes out to prey on little children. But unlike many Urban legends, this one has a lot of hard evidence behind it.

Creepy Cold Case - 7 Year Old Disappeared From ...
Portland Oregon has a lot of True Crime stories to tell but one of them, in my mind, stands out above the rest. Because for one it revolves around the disappearance of a 7 year old kid who has yet to be found….And also because while it appears as though the person responsible was someone very close to him…at this point in the case, that’s all just speculation. Kyron Horman went missing one day from school back in 2010 and as we dug into the case, it became frustrating to see one dead end after another as well as several mistakes and lies come to light.
