Deadtime Storiez

We have fun here, and hope you, the listenerz, do too. We have some light, lovable fare for you this week. Sarah goes first with two shorter tales. She starts us off talking about the Harbor Chief, a nickname for an aggressive swan in Os, Norway. Known for passionately, albeit somewhat predator-ily protecting the harbor of its small town. At once a mascot for many local businesses, the swan's role fluctuated between a charming sight and a public nuisance. What to do with the would-be-assassin cause more than a little bit of controversy. Sarah's second bit is about the English Philosopher, Jeremy Bentham. It's less about his life and more about the mysterious choices he made about his wishes in death. Wanting to become a self-proclaimed "auto-icon", Bentham wanted his body preserved in a very particular way. He kind of got his wishes? Stephanie rounds us out with the also true story of Mark Whitacre. The highest paid American executive turned whistleblower/FBI informant, Whitacre's time with Archer Daniels Mid

Sometimes people make seriously poor decisions, and sometimes people are just terrible. Join us as we talk about a little mix of both on this week’s episode. Stephanie gives the first lesson with the true story of Bowe Bergdahl, an American POW during the war in Afghanistan. Held by the Taliban for five years, the details around Bowe’s disappearance remained a mystery until he was released in 2014. Whether you think he was a hero or a traitor, you’ll be fascinated and enraged by what happened. Sarah follows up with a story that starts with a lot of laughs, but ends pretty horribly. Listener discretion is advised when she shares the real crimes of Danny LePlante. A very troubled teen lead down a dark path that started with minor burglaries and ended in tragedy, Peeping Danny terrorized families in Townsend, MA in the late eighties.

Shortiez making shortiez! This is one of our tighter episodes, but still as informative and fun as ever as we rev up for our livestream this weekend! (Saturday 6/1, not Sunday 6/2 as stated in the show. The plan has changed. I said no cops!) Stephanie starts us off with a little bio on the guy the kids are calling “Eddie AP” aka Edgar Allen Poe. Learn the eerily ordinary origins of the American King of Horror. Why did he have two last names? Why were the women in his wife plagued with tuberculosis? What a time to be alive. Sarah lets us know about a delightfully named ghost in the backward ass state of Alabama by the name of Hugging Molly. The hugs are free, but trust us. You don’t want them. Warn your children.

We love guest episodes! And from our understanding, you do, too! Please welcome back our good (recently married) friend, Teresa “T Nutt” Nutter. Strange and often unfortunate things tend to happen around T Nutt while on vacation. Her recent honeymoon to Europe was no exception. While in Paris, she toured the famous catacombs. Their history is surprisingly un-mystical, but interesting and there sure are a lot of bones. We talk about many of Teresa’s other misadventures, the story behind four thieves cleaner, and make predictions about the Game of Thrones finale (which we know has happened now, but hadn’t at the time of the recording).

Sometimes the murderer isn’t who you would suspect. But most of the time, it’s exactly who you would expect. Sarah tells us about another true crime in the first story this week. This time it’s right here at home in Pennsylvania at the General Wayne Inn. The tavern hosted many famous historical guests in its time, but more recently it’s known for the murder and subsequent suicide scandal that rocked Merion, PA in the mid-nineties. The second story this week is the wildest conspiracy you’ve ever heard of, but is it just crazy enough to be true? Stephanie tells us about a famous theory that the entire planet, particularly the US government, has actually been overthrown by lizard people. We know it sounds ridiculous, but just hear us out. You might be convinced. Listen to E52: Don’t Blame Us, We Didn’t Vote For Lizard People. Subscribe, rate, and review today.

This week’s episode starts with very light fodder, but the second story is pretty graphic. Stephanie tells us two shorter anecdotes in the first segment. Did you know there is an entire show about celebrity ghost stories? The aptly titled Celebrity Ghost Stories features some minor and pretty major stars speaking out about their personal experiences with the paranormal. She gives us a little rundown as well as a personal spook story of a doll that may or may not have been possessed during her childhood. Sarah prepares us for the gory nature of her true crime. One of the most timely of our stories, it’s the murder of Iana Kasian. A former Ukranian tax prosecutor, Kasian migrated to the US in 2014 and began working as a model. Her playboy fianceé, Blake Leibel was charged with her brutal murder in 2018. Sarah gives us the gruesome details. Listen to E51: If It’s In the Bed, It’s Already Too Late.

Wow! We’re finally at fifty episodes! Can you believe it? It’s time to finally announce the tiers and rewards of our Patreon. After a year and forty-nine episodes, we’re asking for your support to keep the show running, and help us create even more incredible content. If you’ve had fun so far, you will love what we have in store. But girl, it ain’t all business! We have spooky stories for you, too, of course! Stephanie starts us off with a little history on the recently passed ghost hunting legend, Lorraine Warren. She and her late husband, Ed, famously investigated many hauntings and possessions around the world. A huge number of their cases later became Hollywood films, many with a multi-picture franchise. Hear some the truth behind some of your favorite horror classics. Sarah brings us back a little bit to E34: There Can Be 100 People In A Room and the mystery behind Elisa Lam’s death. Her newest theory is a game gone horribly wrong. The internet will tell you how to play, but also that you shouldn’t. Li

One of my favorite headlines for this week’s first story is this: “Some in Wylie don’t know of 1980 ax slaying; others can’t forget.” Sarah tells us of a bizarre case from the town where she went to high school. Yes, it was an ax murder. Yes, the murderer is known. And yes, they got away with it. Stephanie follows up with a strange, but very plausible theory about one of your childhood favorites being a kid killer. Willy Wonka is a beloved candy maker. Is he also a psychotic, methodical child murderer? The signs all point to yes. Find out more by tuning into this week’s episode. Listen to E49 Blockbuster: Netflix In Real Life.

Our second contender for that Numba One Spot is Stephanie's college best friend and follower from episode one, Kristina Dorsett. Visiting from Raleigh, NC, she tells her own personal experience with the Maco Light, a friend's personal ghost story, and culminates it all with the chilling true story behind The Staircase. The unsolved murder of Kathleen Peterson has left many speculating over the years. The murder weapon was never found. The stories didn't add up. The media circus and defense trial left more questions than answers. Maybe the truth has finally been revealed. You won't want to miss this episode!

With Stephanie's show coming up tomorrow, this busy week left us with a short but fun episode. Sarah starts us off talking about the Devil's Tramping Ground. Located in Bear Creek, NC, this circle patch of land is completely barren. It's the subject of many local legends and lore, for good reasons. It's definitely at least kind of haunted, right? Stephanie follows up educating listenerz about the 27 Club. Many celebrities (primarily musicians) have mysteriously died suddenly at the age of 27. Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, and Amy Winehouse are some of its more famous members. The phenomenon has fascinated and inspired many bewildered fans.

We're getting so close to fifty episodes, we can taste it! As a little mini-celebration and an ode to our beloved fans, Sarah reads us some listener emails. We're not the only ones with spooky stories to share! Our hosts love hearing from you, so please e-mail us with more. In the future, we'd love to do a full episode of listener emails! Stephanie follows up with the bizarre true story of Elmer McCurdy, The Bandit Who Wouldn't Give Up. The exploits of his corpse are more famous than his deeds as a living bandit, but that might also be because his burglary skills were terrible. In death, his body was used as a gimmick, side-show entertainment, a film prop, and more! Listen to E45 The Dr. Death of Train Robbing. Subscribe, rate, and review today!

Ooh, girl! Ripped from the headlines! Stephanie’s story is first and it’s already been made into an HBO Documentary and a mini series by Hulu! The murder of Dee Dee Blanchard rocked her small town in Missouri. No one could figure out who could kill this sweet single mother caring for her only child, Gypsy Rose, who had special needs. The answer was shocking. The motive was even more so. Sarah follows up with a good old fashioned ghost story! The Joshua Ward House is in Salem, Massachusetts has a history pre-dating the witch trials. Torture and torment have plagued the house for over a century. Noises in the night and apparitions still haunt the patrons of what is now the Merchant Hotel. Hear some of the sorted past on this week’s episode. Listen to E44 So Anyway, She’s a Bitch.

Mariangela is back! Our dear friend and fan of the show, Mariangela Saavedra returns for her fourth guest appearance on Deadtime Storiez. This week she tells us all about the wild, weird wonders of West Virginia. Ghosts, legends, folklore, and more abound in the wacky eastern state.

Did you know that in 2003 Avril Lavigne was replaced by a lookalike named Melissa? Sarah starts off this week’s episode by telling us all about this popular conspiracy theory that began in 2005. There is crucial evidence to substantiate the claim. For example, Avril liked pants, but Melissa likes dresses. What?! I know. Stephanie follows up with a pretty heavy story and the second part of her ode to Wondery with the story of Dr. Christopher Duntsch aka Dr. Death. Duntsch was a practicing neurosurgeon in the Dallas, TX area from 2010-2013. In that time two patients died, four were left paralyzed, and many more were left maimed. The unbelievable true story exposed flaws in both the medical system and the ways we seek justice around it. Don’t miss it. Listen to E42 Dr. Fuck-Face and a Doppelgänger.

Hold on to your butts, because this week’s episode is nuts! Stephanie starts us off with a two-part tale (inspired by Sarah). Summing up the Wondery podcast, Dirty John, it’s the story of John Meehan and his terrorization of the Newell family. The story is full of twists and turns, but nothing is as shocking as the ending. Sarah follows up with the second half of her two-parter of Unhappy Storiez from the Happiest Place on Earth.

The body is capable of some amazing, disgusting, horrible things. Thanks to the “Poop Facts” daily calendar Mariangela got Sarah for Christmas, she bring some of the worst information you’ve never wanted to know about getting backed up. Stephanie tells us about the notorious Ted Bundy and his prolific crimes in the northwestern United States. Bundy brutalized women in Seattle and the surrounding area, but bounced across state lines. He used his knowledge of the legal system to evade capture for over a decade. The legacy of his crimes is still felt in today’s culture. Sarah’s story is actually the part one of our first ever two part story! Calling this segment “Unhappy Storiez from the Happiest Place on Earth,” Sarah tells us about the multiple unfortunate deaths that have occurred at Disneyland and Disney World parks. While Disney is revered for its beautiful parks, the name has been besmirched by some horrible deaths. Most of these can be attributed to rider error, but the results are tragic all the same

Stephanie’s siblings love to come for that Number One Spot. They’ll have to fight it out, because we have real fans now that email us! Sarah starts the show with a story from one of our listenerz. Jo grew up in a haunted house. While she has many memories of eerie things happening to her in and around the home, she will never forget the first time a ghost actually touched her. After the email, Sarah brings us the varying stories of the Lady in Black of Arkansas. There are many legends with different origins, each grizzlier than the last. Stephanie follows with one of the most notorious American serial killers of all time, Jeffrey Dahmer. While there is a wealth of information on his crimes, Stephanie also adds the story of having seen Josh Hitchens’s one man show, The Confessions of Jeffrey Dahmer. (You may remember him as our first guest in October 2018 in E21: Guestoberfest: Haunted People.) Dahmer raped, murdered, and cannibalized many young men of color in Milwaukee from 1978 to 1991. Josh’s show brough

Warning: This contains a whole mess of abortion jokes. Really just the word. A lot of times. Like a lot. Anyway, Stephanie starts us off by telling us a bit about Blackbeard, the notorious pirate who spent much of his time off the coast of North Carolina. Teach’s Hole is his final resting place, but his ghost is far from restful. Sarah follows it up by telling us about the Demon of Brownsville Road in Pittsburg, PA. Republican County Commissioner Bob Cranmer was one of he residents haunted by the demon when his family moved into a home on Brownsville in December of 1988. After multiple exorcisms and more occurrences in the house, Cranmer released a book about their experiences in 2014. Listen to E38 M-Boy and the Haunted Fart. Subscribe, rate, and review today.

Talk about NSFW, this week the girls get messy. We have a special guest who is a friend and fan of the show, Val Law. A New Jersey native, Val shares stories about Whipporwill Valley Road and Cooper Road. These haunted dirt hideaway streets both have a spooky history around a grisly death.
