In this episode of Low Expectations, we dive into the untold stories of two of medieval Europe’s fiercest women: Joan of Flanders, the indomitable Duchess who defended Hennebont with fire and steel, and Jeanne de Clisson, the infamous Lioness of Brittany who turned pirate queen after her husband’s execution. Both widows, both warriors, and both driven by vengeance, these women carved their names into history through defiance, bloodshed, and unrelenting survival.

From castle sieges to pirate raids on the English Channel, we unravel how Joan of Flanders and the Lioness of Brittany defied kings, waged private wars, and became living legends of resistance. Their stories blend political intrigue, betrayal, and revenge — a medieval saga of widowhood turned into warfare.

If you love tales of rebellion, forgotten heroines, and the darker side of history, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

From ghostly folklore and local superstitions to modern theories that try to explain the unexplainable, we explore why these mysteries have captured imaginations for centuries.

Dragged Into the Light: The Zigmund Adamski & Alan Godfrey Mystery

In June 1980, the quiet town of Todmorden, England, became the center of one of the strangest unsolved cases in British history. The body of Zigmund Adamski was discovered atop a coal heap under bizarre circumstances — strange burn marks, a mysterious ointment, and no clear cause of death. Just months later, Police Constable Alan Godfrey reported a chilling UFO encounter and missing time, drawing eerie parallels between the two incidents.

In this episode of Low Expectations, we dive deep into the Zigmund Adamski case, Alan Godfrey UFO sighting, and the enduring Todmorden mystery. From official police reports to alien abduction theories, covert government experiments, and paranormal speculation, we examine every angle of these real-life X-Files. Was Adamski a victim of foul play, a military cover-up, or something not of this world?

If you’re fascinated by unsolved deaths, UFO sightings, alien abductions, and true crime mysteries, this episode will pull you into one of the UK’s most perplexing cold cases.

In this chilling episode of Low Expectations, we step inside the quiet, creaking walls of a house frozen in time. On the night of June 9th, 1912, the small town of Villisca, Iowa was shattered by a brutal and still-unsolved crime: the savage axe murder of eight people—two adults, six children—all slaughtered in their sleep. Who could have committed such a heinous act? And why?

We unravel the eerie timeline, explore the many suspects (including a traveling preacher and a deranged serial killer), and examine the unsettling evidence left behind in the still, suffocating house. With whispers of cover-ups, confessions, and paranormal echoes that linger to this day, this case is more than just murder—it’s a mystery soaked in blood and shadow.

Turn off the lights. Lock your doors. And whatever you do... don’t breathe too loud. The house is still listening.

In this disturbing deep dive, we take you into the dark heart of one of the most horrific cults you’ve (probably) never heard of — The Ant Hill Kids. Led by self-proclaimed prophet Roch Thériault, this Canadian cult began as a doomsday commune and spiraled into a house of horrors marked by control, abuse, and unthinkable violence.

We’ll explore how a charismatic madman manipulated his followers into absolute submission, how the system failed to intervene in time, and why the story of the Ant Hill Kids remains a brutal cautionary tale about blind faith and unchecked power.

⚠️ Content Warning: This episode includes discussions of extreme abuse, coercion, and violence. Listener discretion is strongly advised.
