Our first live show of 2026 — and we’re taking it back to where it all began: Jarrod’s Coffee Shop 🖤☕️

In this live recording, Colleen covers one of Arizona’s most disturbing modern tragedies — the Sedona sweat lodge deaths and self-help guru James Arthur Ray, whose “Spiritual Warrior” retreat ended in multiple fatalities and a criminal conviction. We break down how wellness culture, manipulation, and unchecked power collided with devastating consequences.

Then Tayler takes us across the country into the eerie history of Eastern State Penitentiary — a former prison turned paranormal hotspot with a legacy of isolation, suffering, and lingering spirits. From its radical design to the ghost stories that refuse to fade, this place has earned its reputation as one of the most haunted locations in the U.S.

Recorded live with our favorite audience, plenty of caffeine, and just the right amount of chaos, this episode is equal parts true crime, history, and paranormal — and the perfect way to kick off 2026.

For our 50th episode, we’re going back to where it all began — literally and figuratively.

This week, we’re celebrating the stories, the places, and the moments that shaped I’ve Got Something To Tell You from the very beginning.

Tayler is covering the Rosson House — one of the first haunted locations we ever visited together on a ghost tour with our podcast crew, and a place forever tied to our earliest shared paranormal experiences.

Colleen is covering The Baseline Killer, a case that unfolded right here in Phoenix and the story that sparked her lifelong obsession with true crime. It was the case she followed in real time, the one that pulled her in completely — and ultimately led her down the path that created this podcast.

To make it even more full-circle, this episode was recorded on location at Hanny’s in downtown Phoenix — another stop from that same ghost tour, and a place famously known for the unsettling dolls hidden in its basement.

This episode is part love letter to Phoenix, part reflection on 50 episodes of true crime and paranormal storytelling, and part reminder that sometimes the stories that change you most are the ones closest to home.

To close out 2025, we’re doing something a little different. In this New Year’s Eve episode, we’re each picking our favorite story the other one told this year. Taylor chooses her favorite episode Colleen covered, and Colleen picks her favorite story Taylor told — the ones that stuck with us, that we still reference, and that honestly shaped how we think about this year of the podcast.

This episode is part reflection, part recap, and part love letter to the stories that made 2025 what it was. We talk about why these cases stood out, what made them so memorable, and why they continue to live rent-free in our brains long after recording.

If you’re new here, this is a great place to jump in. And if you’ve been with us all year, consider this our way of closing out 2025 with the stories that meant the most to us.

In this Christmas Eve episode, Colleen and Tayler explore the darker side of the holiday season through true crime and folklore.

Colleen covers the murder of JonBenét Ramsey, examining the events surrounding her death on Christmas night in Boulder, Colorado, the early investigation, and how the case became one of the most infamous and controversial unsolved crimes in American history.

Tayler dives into Christmas folklore and holiday cryptids from around the world, moving beyond familiar figures like Santa Claus and Krampus. This segment explores lesser-known legends including mischievous underground creatures, winter witches who punish bad behavior, eerie bearded figures tied to holiday traditions, and other dark folklore associated with Christmas and the winter season.

We bring back our chaotic Top 5 segment — and this time, we’re digging through the most haunted objects ever sold on eBay. From cursed wedding rings and whispering teddy bears to journals that seem to write themselves, each reveal somehow gets worse than the last. The competition heats up, the reactions get louder, and by the time we hit the number one spot, we’re questioning why anyone would ever click “Buy It Now” again, but we're also questioning ourselves on why we both got the answer wrong. Tune in to find out what #1 was!

This week, we’re leaning into the darker side of the holidays — the kind that looks festive on the surface and deeply unsafe once you scratch it.

Tayler kicks things off with the infamous Dybbuk Box, the object that went viral after being sold on eBay and quickly earned a reputation as one of the most “haunted” items on the internet. We dig into where the story came from, how it spread, and how a piece of folklore became a full-blown paranormal phenomenon through resale listings, media attention, and a lot of very bad decisions.

Then Colleen takes us back to Victorian Christmas, a time when the holidays were beautiful, elaborate… and quietly lethal. From arsenic-laden dresses and toxic decorations to traditions that were actively dangerous, we break down how celebrating Christmas in the 1800s often meant exposing yourself to poisons, hazards, and risks people didn’t fully understand — and why so many festive traditions were, historically speaking, a terrible idea.

It’s a holiday episode about cursed objects, deadly fashion, and the unsettling realization that Christmas has been trying to kill us for much longer than we’d like to admit.

Grab a blanket, a warm beverage and maybe a flashlight because this listener story is sweet but a little spooky. Tune in and get ready to hear this listener's childhood story of how she befriended a ghost girl.

We’re back at Bottleshop 48 for another live show, and this one might be our most chaotic pairing yet. Tayler digs into the dark folklore of Krampus — the horned, holiday menace who shows up when Santa’s had enough. Then Colleen takes us into the unbelievable real-life kidnapping of Frank Sinatra Jr., a case so strange she ended up telling it on its anniversary without even realizing it.

It’s winter folklore, true crime, a few accidental coincidences, and a crowd that came ready for the weird.

Settle in and enjoy the live energy.
