This month’s special episode steps outside Pennsylvania to examine two striking disappearances involving suspected domestic violence: Suzanne Simpson from Texas and Nikki Saelee from California.

In the rush of our daily routines, we rarely stop to consider how quickly life can change. Most of us are simply trying to keep pace with the relentless grind of the clock. So when Joshua Maddux left for a walk one day in May 2008—a normal, everyday habit—no one imagined it would be the last time he was seen. His quiet disappearance left behind no clues, no trail… just questions. And while it might seem rare, vanishings like Joshua’s happen more often than you'd think. According to NamUs, at any given time, as many as 100,000 people are reported missing in the U.S., with up to 600,000 reported each year. Most are eventually found—many alive. But in Joshua’s case, the outcome was far from hopeful. In August 2015, his remains were discovered, reopening wounds and dividing a community with theories, confusion, and even more unanswered questions.

In Downingtown, Chester County, Pennsylvania, the Valley Creek Road Twin Tunnels were long known for eerie local legends and ghost stories.

Whether it be a local, someone just passing through, or the avid paranormal enthusiasts so many stories are tied to the Twin Tunnels.  In this episode we are going to touch on the local lore and a cold case that is tied to these tunnels. Buckle up because we are covering outlandish ghost stories all the way to a brutal murder that left a woman unidentified for just over 30 years.

We all love a good horror movie—the kind that gets your heart racing, makes you bury your face behind a blanket, and delivers that perfect jump scare. While many of these films are wild, over-the-top creations born from twisted imaginations, some are rooted in chilling reality.

The real Annabelle existed—but her appearance and story are far more unsettling than Hollywood would have you believe. Join us as we uncover the true origins of Annabelle and explore her eerie connection to the Keystone State.

This case reveals how vampire superstition persisted among immigrant communities in America. The story reminds listeners that folklore and fear once provided frameworks for life and death — until science (eventually) caught up.
