    Ep. 31: The Evangelista Occult Murders Part 1
    Oct 16 2025
    History is in the making folks! Because April, that’s right, APRIL is bringing us a TWO PARTER! *Sings “It’s the end of the world as we know it, it’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine…” * In all seriousness though, she will be telling us about The Evangelista Occult Murders, an unsolved case of the murder of an entire family of six in Detroit, Michigan in 1929. The parents were found beheaded and their four children were also slaughtered. There are numerous theories that go along with the case, ranging from The Black Hand (a money extortionist group) that was beginning to morph into the traditional day Mafia, a real estate deal gone wrong, or shady doings related to the occult. She will continue to dive into the case in Part Two, so stay tuned!

  • BONUS-ODE #2: Andrea Yates; A Tragic Case of Post Partum Psychosis (part 2/2)

    BONUS-ODE #2: Andrea Yates; A Tragic Case of Post Partum Psychosis (part 2/2)
    Dec 5 2023
    *Part Two* **Trigger warning for everyone again: I will be covering child death, mental illness including depression, post partum depression, post partum psychosis, eating disorders, and suicide.** Join Kendra as she dives into and tells April the tragic ending of the Andrea Yates Case. If you haven't listened to our last episode, which is part one, please stop and go listen to that first because the background given in it is really important. We left Andrea just as she had had her 4th baby, in about as many years, and she immediately starts to struggle mentally with postpartum depression, she attempts to get the help she can from everyone around her, and some very much do try to help her, others… not so much. Rapidly, her mental, physical, and emotional state begins to unravel as postpartum psychosis emerges, and she starts to slips out of OUR reality and into HERS. Which all leads to an utter horrific tragedy.

  • BONUS-ODE #2: Andrea Yates; A Tragic Case of Post Partum Psychosis (part 1/2)

    BONUS-ODE #2: Andrea Yates; A Tragic Case of Post Partum Psychosis (part 1/2)
    Dec 4 2023
    *Part One* In June 2001, news broke that rocked the nation to its core. A 36 year old mother had killed all of her children, all five children, the oldest of whom was 7 years old and the youngest a mere 6 months. She drowned them all in the bathtub. What more is there to really say after that right? She’s clearly evil, right? Here’s the thing though, she wasn’t evil, though her act of course would make anyone think of the word ‘Evil’, she herself WAS NOT evil. Which is why this is a bonus-ode as it’s one I have been wanting to cover for a long time now, because once I learned the REAL story behind this case, my mind switched from thinking this woman was a monster and evil, to realizing that she wasn’t evil, she was sick, and she was failed by many different people in her life as she repeatedly asked for help. This is the case of Andrea Yates.
