John Tornow: The Wild Man of the Wynoochee

Wild men or feral men have long been a part of legend. Some even believe they account for some of the Bigfoot sightings throughout history. 

John Tornow reached legend status when his desire to be left alone in the wilderness turned murderous. But what really happened? Who was John Tornow and how much of the story reported was twisted by those who were left behind in the end?

A Cryptid Buffet

We love a good cryptid, don’t we? In this episode, we will be serving you up a cryptid buffet, with a variety of flavors with names that are quite the mouthful. Join us as we explore the unknown and weird corners of the US that house the saddest, scariest, and most bizarre cryptids.

The Mad Butcher of Kingsbury Run: Part One

Few people realize that Cleveland had its own serial killer at the height of the Great Depression…a serial killer who was never caught…

Dubbed “The Mad Butcher of Kingsbury Run” or “The Cleveland Torso Killer,” he didn’t just kill; he dismembered his victims. Regardless of race or gender, his victims were often the most vulnerable, and most of his victims not identified. In this first part of our two part episode, we look at the start of the murders and the investigation, headed by none other than Eliot Ness.

El Mio: The House on the Hill

Atop a hill overlooking Los Angeles in Highland Park, CA, there is a historic Victorian home that goes by the name El Mio, aka The Smith Estate. A stunning example of the Queen Anne style, this home looks…spooky. Like it has SEEN things. And it truly has. Its first owner was a prolific judge who studied and wrote about Occultism, and even continued writing through a psychic medium after his death. It has also been the star of multiple horror films, so naturally, it is associated with some legend, lore, and even perhaps, ghosts?

Missing and Murdered: Shirley Ann Soosay

Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women is an epidemic in the US and Canada that leaves families looking for their loved ones in the dark, without justice, enough recognition, or support from law enforcement in investigating or solving cases in the same way that other non-indigenous cases receive attention.

Shown Notes

Trigger Warning: Sexual assault and murder

In 1980, two women were found brutally murdered in Southern California, neither of which could be identified. They were named Jane Doe Kern County and Jane Doe Ventura County. Their cases have gone cold and frigid for 40 years, until attention to DNA and investigative genetic genealogy, and a niece, Violet Soosay, looking for her Aunt Shirley, brought attention to the cases, and eventually identified Jane Doe Kern County as Shirley Ann Soosay.
