    Cryptid Crawl #30: Yo, Shut Your Mouth, You Jersey Little Cryptids!

    This week, we’re heading to New Jersey, where the cryptids are giving the cast of Jersey Shore a run for their money! First, Emily tells us about the Mantis Man, a giant insect-like creature spotted lurking near the water outside Hackettstown. Next, Nettie introduces us to Big Red Eye, a mysterious creature that might make you think twice about wandering through the woods after dark. Finally, Hayley takes us into the Pine Barrens for the legend of the infamous Jersey Devil. Are these just local legends, or does the Garden State have a whole new meaning for the “Situation”? Stay spooky, darlings!

    #66- Hexes, Hens & Homicide: Mary Bateman, The Yorkshire Witch

    Witch, con artist, or cold-blooded killer? This week, we’re telling the twisted tale of Mary Bateman, the infamous Yorkshire Witch. In the early 1800s, Mary made a name for herself as a fortune teller and healer, but wherever she went, strange circumstances seemed to follow. From a magical chicken known as the Prophet Hen of Leeds to mysterious letters from oracles, supernatural remedies, and poisoned pudding, Mary’s schemes grew increasingly bizarre—and eventually deadly. But even her execution wasn’t the end of her strange story. Join us as we explore the life and crimes of Mary Bateman and ask the question: Was she a misunderstood healer, or a ruthless murderer who knew how to exploit people’s fears? Message us!

    FUF#29: Sandra Birchmore, Caleb Flynn, the Cornell 7, and more!

    It's Follow Up Friday, Darlings! Grab your headphones, because the sisters are talking about all of the major true-crime news, plus a whole lot of chaos in between. We check in on the Sandra Birchmore case as former Stoughton police officer Matthew Farwell's federal murder trial gets underway in Boston. Then we break down the Caleb Flynn verdict, where the former American Idol contestant was found guilty in the death of his wife, Ashley. We also dig into the Cornell 7 and the reopened Chi Phi fraternity case that has the whole internet talking. Need a palate cleanser? Same. We're talking Ready or Not and Ready or Not 2, aka the most unhinged family game night ever put on film. Plus, we share the podcasts and TV shows we can't stop bingeing, Jeannette spills all the details from her trip to Sonoma (yes, there was wine), and Hayley fills us in on her recent minor surgery on her childhood toe-mole. It's a bit sentimental. True crime news, horror movie talk, and sister banter. What more could you want on a Friday? Follow The Spooky Darlings for new episodes twice a week, and leave us a review telling us what case we should follow up on next! Message us! Thanks for listening to The Spooky Darlings!

    #64- Witches World Wide 3D Episode

    Welcome to Spooky Season! It's witch week at The Spooky Darlings! We each chose a witch from a different part of the world, and they're a spellbinding lineup: the shape-shifting brujas of La Biznaga, Mexico; Isobel Gowdie, a Scottish woman who confessed to witchcraft at Auldearn near Nairn in 1662; and Tía Casca and her ancestor, Dorotea, of Trasmoz, Spain, a village that still carries its curse and excommunication today.

    #63- A Funeral or a Fraud?- Messy Morticians 3D episode.

    When you hire a mortician, you're trusting them with the most vulnerable moment of your life: your dead body. This week the Darlings dig into what happens when that trust goes sideways. Jeannette opens with the case of Dale Omsberg, a Lincoln City mortician who stacked bodies like cords of wood, but was only sentenced to 30 days behind bars. Then we hop across the pond with Hayley, where English mortician Robert Bush was convicted of startlingly similar crimes — except he walked away with 20 years. Same betrayal, wildly different justice. And to close it out, we head back to the early aughts where Jean Crump committed crimes with a crew of old ladies, each bringing her own specialty to the table — phlebotomy, tax know-how, estate law. Basically a con-artist Ocean's Eleven of funerals. Three morticians, three eras, one uncomfortable question: how well do we actually know the people handling our loved ones after they're gone?

    Cryptid Crawl #28:Nevada! All for our Cryptids!

    We’re heading to Nevada! First, we dive into the eerie legends of Water Babies—mysterious creatures whose cries are said to lure the curious to their fate. Then we dig into the story of the Lovelock Giants, the red-haired giants supposedly discovered inside a Nevada cave and the very real archaeological finds that helped fuel the legend. And finally we turn our gaze upward for the Flying Space Clams, one of Nevada’s strangest UFO encounters, involving bizarre clam-like creatures touching down in the desert and soaring through the sky.

    It’s Follow-Up Friday, and this one is packed! We kick things off with our usual personal-life catch-up before diving into a listener-submitted haunting at a McMenamins property. Then we’re talking about what we’ve been watching and listening to lately, including The Kill List, Netflix’s Worst ___ Ever, the Betrayal podcast, The Dead Files, Mother Mary, and More Psychic & Detective. From there, we catch up on some of the cases we’ve covered—or have been keeping an eye on—including Lindsay Clancy, Sandra Birchmore, the Tupac murder trial, Keshia Golden, Alisa Goods, and Eugene Horsche. We wrap things up with Lake Chaubunagungamaug in Massachusetts—a lake with a mouthful of a name that reminds us we don’t have to be sticklers about pronunciations. It’s hauntings, true crime updates, current obsessions, and general spooky-darling chaos. Basically, a classic FUF. Stay spooky, darlings! 👻 Sources: Our lives Message us!

    #59: Disaster, Death, and Diamonds— the Birthday 3D episode!

    This week, each sister takes a look at a dark moment in history that just happens to share her birthday. Nettie heads to South Korea for the devastating Daegu Subway Disaster— a deliberate act of arson that turned an ordinary morning commute into one of the deadliest subway disasters in history. Emily dives into the baffling case of Robert William Fisher, the Arizona father accused of murdering his wife and two children before blowing up their home and disappearing. More than two decades later, exactly what happened to Fisher remains a mystery. Hayley takes us inside the infamous Lufthansa Heist, when millions of dollars in cash and high-value goods were stolen from JFK Airport in a meticulously planned mob robbery. But pulling off the heist was only the beginning—the bloody aftermath would become almost as notorious as the robbery itself. Three sisters. Three birthdays. Three dark moments in history.

    #58- Sophie Sergie: A Cold Case Cracked

    The tragic 1993 murder of 20-year-old Alaskan native Sophie Sergie went unsolved for over 25 years, until advances in forensic genealogy led investigators to a former UAF student named Steven H. Downs—who had been living thousands of miles away. We’re covering Sophie’s final hours, the evidence left behind, the path to identifying a suspect, Downs’ arrest more than 25 years later, and the 2022 trial that finally attempted to answer the question Sophie’s family had been asking for decades: Who killed Sophie Sergie?

    #57 - The Psychic and the Detectives

    What happens when a detective runs out of leads? Sometimes, they turn to psychics for help in solving a crime. In the 1970s and ’80s, California psychic Armand Marcotte worked alongside police and detectives on countless investigations, offering clues he claimed to receive through his psychic abilities to channel the victims who have crossed over, explore past lives, and use help from those beyond the grave to gather clues to help solve mysteries. In this episode, we explore the cases, the detectives who sought his help, and the mysterious connection between the psychic and the detective. Could a psychic really help solve a crime? You be the judge. Sources: Druffel, Ann, with Armand Marcotte. The Psychic and the Detective. ACS Publications, 1983 CIA.gov Message us! Thanks for listening to The Spooky Darlings!
