If you want to watch a good ghost investigation site, watch Ghost Hunters. I think Ghost Adventures is a big scam, and I can't believe that guy makes as much money as he does. Ghost Hunters actually tried to debunk the haunting.
How did you two not call this stuff out?? This is how conspiracy theories get started!!! This is all smoke and mirrors. Not even worth listening to.
I remember going to watch the movie Son of Sam with a friend of mine, Giovanni. He was so mad that John Leguizamo played an Italian character. That is my only memory of that movie! 😆😆
Why didn't these people just act as if they were doing these acts? The person on the phone can't see anything. They could have just pretended they were doing this. Thank goodness for some of those people who put an end to it. Some of the people, like Walter, just piss me off. How is it legal to ask a minor to do those acts? When would police ever ask you to do those things??
Actually, I have a kitty cat that gets nose bleeds, and yes, blood does dry very quickly.
The wife said they had a good marriage ... yikes, Judith, he hated you and blamed this on you. Not that it is her fault at all, but he must have been putting on such a show for her.
I'm 5'2 and I pull the seat pretty close to the steering wheel. However, in order to get out, I have to push the seat all the way back. I can't get out if I have a steering wheel just above my lap. I push it ALL the way back because it is easier to get out. This theory of where seats are left during a crime is out dated and not very scientific at all.

I feel like if they put up a billboard that said, "You know who you are. Look at your kids and grandkids and imagine this happening to them. Be a decent human being and come forward."
That's obsessive compulsive disorder, not ADD.

I am sorry but the police theory in the Germany case seems flawed...not impossible but flawed for sure. I am wondering if you're already having issues;feel like someone's watching you,missing keys,a maid fleeing bc of noises,nightly ritual of locking the house down, informed ppl,even.IF some-thing/one lured you to the barn in the middle of the night why would the women of the house willing be sent out first??? having already had the mentioned issues no way the husband isn't the one going
I normally like this podcast, but listening to the interview with the mother where he made her relive all her trauma was really disturbing. I couldn't hear him continue to ask all these questions just for the benefit of his podcast and not thinking of what she is going through. I stopped listening.
