Remember that little story of Bloody Mary? You know ... that light a candle in your bathroom with the lights out late at night, look in the mirror and say her name three times in a row “Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary” and hope you won’t be found dead with your eyes scratched out? Or with claw marks all over your body? Or the possibility that you will be forever trapped behind the glass of the mirror for all eternity? What a fun and cheery tale. Well, one must wonder where the tale had come from. Join Sav and Bree as they dive into the legendary icons that helped form the Bloody Mary tales.

Some of us might have played them as kids, some of us might have been too scared. Too scared to risk tearing down the sheet that keeps us separated from the other side. Too frightened to actually see someone or something lurking in your house. Too horrified to wonder if you’ll ever make it out alive. Grab your candle, your matches and some friends and get ready for some ritual games…again…

The campfire has died, the night has settled in, and you hear a faint rustling in the woods just beyond your tent. You tell yourself it’s probably nothing, but your senses are on high alert. As a shadow cast by the moon glides eerily over your tent, you can’t help but wonder: What made me think spending the night at a haunted campground was a good idea? Oh right, the thrill. Haunted houses are overdone, and the corn maze was last year’s adventure. This time, put your nerves to the test in the woods, where strange noises, ghostly figures, and mysterious electromagnetic spikes await. Join Sav and Bree for some eerie campgrounds to explore this Halloween season.
TRIGGER WARNING: VIOLENCE, MURDER, CHILD DEATH

What's particularly astonishing about this case is that the Lutz family endured only twenty-eight days before hastily vacating the premises.

Enter the Screaming House of Union, Missouri—a location synonymous with dread—and the unfortunate victims were none other than the LaChance family.
