We're back! For Chapter 2 of Macabre Mondays.In this episode of Macabre Mondays, we walk through the history of the Winchester Mystery House, tracing how tragedy, spiritual belief, and public fascination turned a private woman into a permanent ghost story.The Winchester Mystery House is famous for what it doesn’t make sense of, staircases that end at the ceiling, doors that open into walls, windows built into floors, and a layout so confusing it feels intentional. For nearly 40 years, the house was under constant construction.At the center of it all was Sarah Winchester, a grieving widow who inherited a massive fortune connected to the Winchester rifle. As her home grew more complex, rumors followed, that the house was designed to confuse spirits, that Sarah feared the dead, and that stopping construction would mean her own death. Because when a house refuses to make sense, it forces us to ask,what was really being built… and why?Find the ghost photos here! Come back tomorrow for our anniversary episode for a little something fun we have in store to celebrate.———🎧 Macabre Mondays is a true crime and paranormal podcast hosted by Alejandra and her husband Tom.

Mount Everest is the highest place on Earth, and one of the most unforgiving.Every year, hundreds of climbers spend tens of thousands of dollars attempting to reach the summit. But above 26,000 feet, in a place known as the Death Zone, the human body can no longer survive. Oxygen disappears. Judgment fades. And for many, the mountain becomes their final resting place.In this episode of Macabre Mondays, we explore the real horror of Mount Everest: the frozen bodies that remain along the climbing route, how they become landmarks, and the unsettling normalization of walking past the dead. We tell the stories of Green Boots, Sleeping Beauty, and others who never made it back down, and examine the ethical weight of survival when rescue is often impossible.We also dive into the eerie experiences reported by climbers: voices in storms, phantom companions, and the mysterious Third Man phenomenon. Are these moments the result of extreme altitude, or is Everest a place that holds onto those it claims?This is not a story about conquering a mountain. It’s about what Everest takes and what it keeps.🎧 Macabre Mondays is a true crime and paranormal podcast hosted by Alejandra and her husband Tom.

This week on Macabre Mondays, we dive into the unbelievable true story of Jeffrey “Roofman” Manchester. A soft spoken, polite, fast food robber who locked employees in freezers while telling them to stay warm. A man who escaped a medium security prison by strapping himself under a delivery truck. And a fugitive who went on to live for nearly six months inside the ceiling of a Toys R Us, watching employees through baby monitors and slipping down at night to shower and steal supplies.According to investigators, Manchester built a secret hideout between the walls of a Circuit City, created an alias, joined a local church and even started dating someone who had no idea he was living above the store she most likely shopped in as a parent. But everything changed on the day he attempted one final robbery.This is a story about obsession, control and the terrifying ways charm can become a mask. Through verified sources and detailed reconstruction, we walk you through the life, escape and capture of the man law enforcement called The Roofman.______________________🎧 Macabre Mondays is a true crime and paranormal podcast hosted by Alejandra and her husband Tom.

In Chapter 10: The Ledger Below, she follows the stairs into the house’s hidden nursery, a place that remembers every name ever borrowed.

In Chapter 9: Returns, the house begins to pull her deeper. A clear marble rolls from beneath the red door, reflecting both halls overlapped — as if time itself has started to fold. Through the crack, a staircase appears, curving down into the dark. The voices whisper that he keeps the keys and that they’re safer when he does. But when she starts to descend, she realizes returning what’s borrowed might mean giving more than she ever took.The house counts every step.Tune in each night for the next chapter of 13 Nights of Macabre, written by E.

In Chapter 8: The Other Hall, the house draws its boundary. Through the widening seam, the cataloger sees the mirrored corridor come alive — its air colder, its laughter smaller, its promises softer. When a child’s hand reaches from the blue hall to touch hers, she hesitates, remembering the rule that’s kept her alive so far: Keep to your side.But when a deeper voice arrives — one that doesn’t belong to a child at all — the house reminds her that every invitation comes with a cost.Tune in each night for the next chapter of 13 Nights of Macabre, written by E.

In Chapter 7: Angle of View, the hall begins to move. No matter where she stands, the red door shifts back to the center of her vision, the house adjusting her like a subject in a frame. As she places the three marbles across the threshold, they roll toward the mirrored hall, aligning themselves as if called home. Through the blue reflection, her own voice warns her not to let the house “line her up.”The children are waiting for hush hour to begin.Tune in each night for the next chapter of 13 Nights of Macabre, written by E.

In Chapter 6: Static, the count begins. Children’s voices whisper numbers through the baby monitor, stopping at thirteen as the house shifts its focus. A new marble appears — dark as ink, threaded with silver — showing what moves beneath the floorboards. Through the keyhole, a mirrored version of the hallway comes to life, and her own reflection starts moving before she does.Every frame fogs with a warning: Keep to your side.Tune in each night for the next chapter of 13 Nights of Macabre, written by E.

In Chapter 5: Borrowed Names, the house speaks through lullabies and photographs. The cataloger discovers a baby monitor whispering the tenth rule — Return what you borrow. When she lifts the hallway runner, the past returns a photo that shouldn’t exist: her own childhood kitchen, her own mother’s hand. A text from an unknown number invites her deeper into the house, and through the red door’s reflection, she sees herself already waiting.The house doesn’t just borrow names. It keeps them.Tune in each night for the next chapter of 13 Nights of Macabre, written by E. L.
