What would you do, in the name of the 'Slenderman'? Unfortunately for 12 year old Peyton Leutner, her two friends Anissa Weir and Morgan Geyser would try to kill for the fictional internet monster, scared that he would kill their whole family unless they offered a sacrifice to appease him. A tragic tale of mental illness, and the influence of the internet on easily susceptible individuals, this is the case of the 'Slenderman Stabbings'. . https://www.horrorhousetruecrime.com https://www.buymeacoffee.com/hhpod Youtube: @horrorhousetruecrime Insta: @horrorhouse_pod .

A senile old man wondering the streets in his pyjamas and bathrobe, muttering to himself and talking to inanimate objects such a parking meters may be a fairly common sight to see in New York City.

In the infamous words of country singer Kenny Rogers: "You've got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away, know when to run". For Zheng Lin and his wife, these would have been wise words to follow.

Anne Hamilton-Byrne may have been a yoga instructor, but when you are of the firm belief that you are the reincarnation of Jesus Christ himself and that the world is coming to an end, teaching yoga is not going to be your career path. Starting a cult on the other hand, is far more apt. Join us, and a few very special guests, as we talk about heavy yoga, procuring children and drug fuelled rituals. A normal 'Family', this is not. . https://www.horrorhousetruecrime.com https://www.buymeacoffee.com/hhpod Insta: @horrorhouse_pod They Don't Stay Dead Insta: @theydontstaydead .

Valentines night in '95 would turn out to be a night that would alter the life of Sally McNeil significantly. A beaten and battered woman at the hands of her husband Ray, the years of abuse would come to a brutal, bloody end on that night, with Ray the recipient of two shotgun blasts, one to the stomach and one to the face. What followed would be a long, convoluted trial, which focused on two questions: was it self defence or was Sally a bitter woman with her own anger issues and violent tendencies, who was lashing out at her husband who was going to leave her for someone else? . https://www.womensaid.org.uk/information-support/the-survivors-handbook/ive-left-and-i-need-support/ https://www.mind.org.uk/information-support/guides-to-support-and-services/abuse/ https://www.dadsunltd.org.uk/services/dave/ . https://www.horrorhousetruecrime.com https://www.buymeacoffee.com/hhpod Insta: @horrorhouse_pod .

The death of a loved one is one of the hardest things one has to go through. So, when a loved one does depart the earthly realm, one would expect them to be treated with dignity and respect by the funeral home workers entrusted to prepare them. Unfortunately, as we will find in this episode, this isn't always the case, as we look at two cases of funeral workers behaving badly. . https://www.horrorhousetruecrime.com https://www.buymeacoffee.com/hhpod Insta: @horrorhouse_pod .

'Couples See Man-Sized Bird... Creature... Something' was the headline that ran in the Point Pleasant Register on the 16th November 1966. That man-sized creature would later become known as 'The Mothman', who would go on to terrorise the small town of Point Pleasant, West Virginia. But, what was 'The Mothman'? A real 6 to 7ft tall flying creature with glowing red eyes and a 10ft wing span? A harmless prank? The effects of sleep paralysis? Or just a normal, unspectacular bird?
