Sarah leads this episode as we dive into one of the scariest murder cases in American history: The Devil on Trial, also known as the infamous “The Devil Made Me Do It” case. In 1980, 11-year-old David Glatzel began exhibiting terrifying behavior that his family believed was caused by demonic possession. Paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren became involved, and during an alleged exorcism, David's sister's boyfriend, Arne Cheyenne Johnson, reportedly challenged the demon to possess him instead. Just months later, Arne fatally stabbed his landlord, Alan Bono, and his defense attempted to blame the killing on demonic possession.

When 15-year-old Mattie Turley shot her father, Ernest, she initially claimed it was an accident. But investigators soon learned there was much more to the story.

Was Mattie truly following instructions from a Ouija board? Was Dorothea using it to influence her daughter? Or was something else happening inside the Turley home?

Sarah leads the second episode of our Spooktacular as we travel back to 1897 West Virginia for the case often called “the only murder ever solved by a ghost.” When 23-year-old Zona Heaster Shue was found dead inside her home, her death was initially believed to be natural.

That extraordinary story led to Zona’s body being exhumed, a shocking discovery, and ultimately a murder trial against her husband, Erasmus “Edward” Shue. Was it really a ghost who helped solve Zona’s murder? Join us as we dive into the chilling true story of The Greenbrier Ghost.

Tina leads this episode about the infamous unsolved double homicide that rocked Fall River, Massachusetts, on August 4, 1892. Andrew and Abby Borden were brutally attacked inside their own home, roughly an hour and a half apart, leaving both of them dead. More than 130 years later, we still don't know for certain who killed them. While Lizzie Borden has become synonymous with the murders—and is widely believed to have been responsible—the truth is far more complicated than the legend suggests. Was it Lizzie? If so, did she act alone? Or could someone else entirely have been responsible for the brutal murders of Andrew and Abby Borden? Join us as we break down the evidence, the strange circumstances surrounding that August morning, and the sensational trial that followed as we go beyond the myth to tell the true story behind one of America's most enduring murder mysteries—and the infamous rhyme it inspired: Lizzie Borden took an axe And gave her mother forty whacks. When she saw what she had done, She gave her father forty-one. Support the show Don't forget to send us your feedback and ideas for future episode content at [email protected]!

Sarah leads this episode about the disappearance of 23-year-old Christina Morris — a Texas woman whose family, friends, and an army of volunteers refused to give up searching for her. In the early morning hours of August 30, 2014, Christina left a gathering with former high school classmate Enrique Arochi. Surveillance footage captured the two walking together into a parking garage at The Shops at Legacy in Plano, Texas. Arochi's car left the garage minutes later. Christina was never seen alive again. As investigators began unraveling Arochi's story, the evidence started pointing in a very different direction. Christina's DNA was discovered inside the trunk of his Camaro, cellphone evidence tracked their movements after leaving the garage, and surveillance footage contradicted key details Arochi had initially given investigators. But there was one enormous problem: Christina was still missing. In 2016, prosecutors took the unusual step of putting Arochi on trial without knowing where Christina was or exactly what had happened to her. He was convicted of aggravated kidnapping and sentenced to life in prison. For more than three years, Christina's loved ones and dedicated volunteers known as Team Christina continued searching, living by the motto "Giving up is not an option." Then, in March 2018, workers clearing land in Anna, Texas made a heartbreaking discovery. Christina's remains had finally been found. Join us as we break down Christina's disappearance, the evidence that led investigators to Enrique Arochi, the remarkable case prosecutors built without a body, the years-long effort to bring Christina home, and the family and community who refused to stop searching for her.
