In this unsettling episode, Mel breaks our hearts by diving into the horrifying case of James Rupert, who carried out one of the most shocking family massacres in modern history.

In 1975, Rupert brutally murdered 11 members of his family in a quiet Ohio home. But what makes this case even more disturbing isn't the sheer number of victims, it's the eerie calm demeanor that he demonstrated afterwards.

We explore the warning signs that were missed, the psychological unravelling of a man who seemed 'ordinary' and the haunting aftermath of a crime that left an entire community in disbelief.

Ever woken up in the middle of the night and felt like you weren't fully in your body? Like something....shifted?

Today we are diving into one of the most mysterious and controversial experiences reported across cultures and centuries- astral projection! The idea that consciousness can leave the physical body and travel beyond it. Is it a spiritual awakening? A lucid dream taken to another level? Or something we don't fully understand yet?

Grab your coffee- maybe keep the lights on for this one- and settle in as we explore the eerie yet fascinating world of astral projection!

we are heading to the vast, frozen wilderness of Alaska- a land of towering mountains, endless forests, and something far more unsettling lurking beneath the surface.

They call it, the Alaskan Triangle.

A region where more than 16,000 people have disappeared, where entire plans vanish mid-flight, where seasoned hunters, hikers and pilots simply...never come back.

Some say it's the unforgiving terrain. Others believe it's something darker...magnetic anomalies...hidden vortexes...and even creatures lurking in the mountains.

Lock your doors, dim the lights, and stay close....

Because once you enter the triangle, not everyone finds their way out.

Imagine waking up in the middle of the night. Your eyes are wide open. You can see your room. You can hear the quiet around you...but there's one problem. You can't move. Your body is completely frozen.

And then...you realize you aren't alone.

Across the world for centuries, people have reported the same chilling encounters during sleep paralysis; shadowy figures standing at the foot of the bed, something sitting on their chest, whispers in the dark, or the overwhelming feeling that something evil is lurking inside their room.

Today, Christine explores the science, the folklore, and Mel shares her own chilling experiences of sleep paralysis. So turn down the lights, get cozy, and maybe keep one eye open!

Today we talk about Elizabeth Smart; a 14 year old girl who was abducted from her bedroom in Salt Lake City, Utah in 2002, in the middle of the night by a man who had previously worked in her family home. Elizabeth endured nine months of captivity, manipulation and abuse before being found alive. Her story of survival captivated the world and ultimately helped change conversations around victim advocacy and recovery.

In 1994, a young woman named Allison Botha was abducted, brutally attacked and left for dead in the South African wilderness. Her injuries were catastrophic and by every definition, she should not have survived.

But she did.

This is a story of unimaginable violence- but more than that, it's a story of sheer willpower and the human instinct to live.

Listener discretion is advised- this episode contains disturbing details.

In this episode we explore one of the most harrowing (and inspiring) survival stories ever told. In 1978, 15 year old Mary Vincent was hitchhiking in California when she was picked up by a man who would forever change her life. What followed was an act of unimaginable violence/

Mary's story is not just one of survival but of extraordinary resilience, courage and the unbreakable will of the human spirit.
