Buckle up, because this week we’re tackling the doll, the myth, and the terrifying red yarn: Annabelle. But before we get to the "demon in a dress," we have some personal demons to exorcise first.

In our most tangent-filled episode yet, we’re diving into the real-life Raggedy Ann doll that allegedly terrorised a pair of nursing students and eventually ended up in the Warrens' Occult Museum. We break down the "true" story that inspired The Conjuring universe, while also taking a hard look at the controversial legacy of Ed and Lorraine Warren.

Between the paranormal activity and the serious allegations surrounding the Warrens, we somehow find time to bond over our own childhood trauma and some truly "special" stories about our dad. It’s a mix of high-stakes haunting and the kind of family venting that only a true crime podcast can provide.

Grab your favourite mug and pull up a chair, because this week, we’re doing things a little differently. Consider this your official invitation to a casual coffee date with us as we throw the script out the window for a completely unstructured, "vibe-heavy" deep dive into the weird.

In this episode, we aren't sticking to one case. Instead, we’re leaning into the chaos and catching up on all the cosmic strangeness that’s been keeping us up at night. From UFO sightings and Space Sirens to the nagging feeling that the universe is currently "glitching," we’re covering it all in our most casual conspiracy chat yet.

Is it a Timeline Shift? A Mandela Effect? Or just the result of having one too many espressos? We’re rambling through the mysteries of the cosmos, questioning our reality, and taking a few (okay, a lot) of tangents along the way. If you’ve ever felt like the world just feels a little off lately, this is the episode for you.

This week, we’re headed to Plainfield, Wisconsin, to meet the man, the myth, and the ultimate mother’s boy: Ed Gein.

While most people pick up sourdough or knitting as a hobby, Eddie took "DIY" to a level that changed the horror genre forever. We’re doing a deep dive into the Butcher of Plainfield, exploring how his isolated upbringing and an extreme case of "mommy issues" led to the most bizarre home renovation project in history.

From his midnight trips to the cemetery to his legendary (and terrifying) "craft room," we explore the man who inspired cinema’s most famous monsters—from Psycho’s Norman Bates to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre’s Leatherface. Grab a drink and maybe a snack (actually, maybe skip the snack for this one), as we get into the "skinny" on Ed Gein.

In this episode, we take a deep dive into one of the most harrowing chapters of the 20th century: the rise and fall of Jim Jones and the Peoples Temple.

How did a boy from rural Indiana, born into a bizarre and fractured household, grow up to become a self-proclaimed prophet? We trace Jones’ origins—from his early days in Indianapolis to the move to California—and explore the charismatic mask he wore to build a movement based on social justice.

Finally, we journey into the jungle of Guyana to break down the tragic reality of the Jonestown disaster. We separate the myths from the facts, looking at the psychological grip Jones held over his followers and the series of events that led to the final, fatal "White Night."

Step aside, Bigfoot. We’re moving into the "Budget Section" of cryptozoology.

This week on the pod, we’re trading in the terrifying for the truly ridiculous. We’re diving into the world of funny cryptids—the ones that are more likely to make you laugh than scream. We discuss the Squonk, a creature that is essentially just a walking emotional breakdown in a puddle; the Furry Trout, which is what happens when a fish decides it needs a winter wardrobe; and the Jackalope, the antlered rabbit whose population control methods are... explosive, to say the least.

From the spike-covered Hodag of Wisconsin to the Drop Bears that make Australian tourists live in fear of trees, we’re questioning the biological logic of every creature on this list. We also get lost in the chaos of Cornish Pixies, who are basically just the original "Chaos Gremlins" of the UK.

This week, we’re stepping inside the Winchester Mystery House, the world’s most famous 38-year-long DIY project. We’re talking about Sarah Winchester, the spirits of the Winchester rifle, and why on earth anyone needs 13 bathrooms and a window built into the floor. From staircases that lead directly into the ceiling to doors that open into a two-story drop, we’re trying to figure out if Sarah was building a labyrinth for ghosts or if her general contractor was just a chaotic prankster from the afterlife.

Fair warning: This episode is a bit of a fever dream. Between the history and the hauntings, we may have reached a level of "caffeinated chaos" that shouldn't be legally allowed.

Welcome back to The Cold Spot Confessions. This week, we are opening The Epstein Files (Part 2). While our last look was at the crimes, this episode dives into the "how"—tracing Jeffrey Epstein’s improbable rise to power, the mysterious connections he made, and how he built his billionaire lifestyle.

We also go down the rabbit hole of Adrenochrome, discussing the chilling theories that paint certain celebrities as modern-day vampires who rely on the unthinkable to stay young. It’s dark territory, so we take a detour into the bizarre world of Gerald the Dolphin and the latest Florida Man shenanigans.

To wrap things up, we try our best to lift the mood with a round of "Would You Rather" and a deep dive into our hypothetical lives as "Inconvenience Burglars." We spent way too much time laughing about which items we’d steal from bad people just to ruin their day—starting with every single left shoe they own.

Tune in for a mix of deep-state deep dives, celebrity conspiracies, and the most specific heist planning you've ever heard!

Welcome back to The Cold Spot Confessions! This is a massive milestone episode for us, and we have some incredible news to share! Before we dive into the weirdness, we are officially announcing that our newest cohost has been born, and Vikki is officially engaged! > To celebrate the new life and the diamond ring, we’re keeping things light-hearted with some of the most bizarre Easter folklore and rituals we’ve ever found. We discuss the legend of the "Easter Bird"—a poor creature that got halfway transformed into a hare and was cursed to lay eggs once a year (and we’re convinced at least one is a rotten egg).

We also explain why you should never trust your neighbour if they happen to be a hare, and why you must hide your brooms on Easter. Apparently, if a witch can’t find a broom, she’ll just ride your cow until it dies. Charming, right?

From stealing livestock to diapers and wedding planning, we try our best to lift the mood with the weirdest holiday history you've ever heard.

Tune in for the chaos, the curses, and our biggest celebrations yet!
