In 1971, Carolyn and Roger Perrin moved their young family into what they thought would be their forever home in a rural town in Rhode Island. Nestled on multiple acres with a stream, barn and outbuildings, the Perrins were excited to have a safe place for their growing family. That is, until they learned that it wasn't as safe as they thought; the family weren't alone on the property. The current occupants weren't alive, and worst of all, didn't want the Perrins there. Join us for part 2 of this epic haunting, and don't forget to leave the lights on at night.
The Janes were an activist organization that formed to facilitate safe abortions for women in the Chicago area in the 1970s. They were so underestimated in the previously male- and mafia-controlled abortion world that they were able to operate unimpeded for enough time to have saved the lives of thousands of women, and most importantly, changed the lives of many in teaching that women could be kind to one another. Join us as we discuss this amazing group of women and explore the impact that they had then, and now. Also! Stay tuned at the end for a special Puckwudgie tale from our amazing friend Keith of Squid's Ink Tattoo, a local of the Bridgewater Triangle.

Anyone else obsessed with Sister Wives? Join us as we discuss the first epoch of this delightful trainwreck.
Kingdom Halls, or gathering places for members of Jehovah's Witness are speckled throughout the world, and most people just assume that the practices of not celebrating holidays or birthdays are harmless albeit restrictive and conservative beliefs. They couldn't be more wrong about this predatory organization that sacrifices the health, safety and wellbeing of its people for financial gain and the benefits of a handful of men living in luxury on a secretive compound. Join us as we explore how this assumption by society has protected a modern day cult which has misled the public, and more importantly, it's own people.
When 11 year old Debra Hall disappeared, no one could know how crazy the story would get, and how tragic the ending.

Join us to listen how these cases are connected, and why you shouldn't request DNA testing if it might match if you've been convicted of murder.
