Episode Title
The Dover House — Rural Arkansas

Description
In a modest wood-frame home along County Road 112 near Dover, Arkansas (Pope County), a family lived far enough from neighbors that silence was normal and distance felt like safety. What happened inside that house did not announce itself with alarms or chaos. It unfolded quietly, room by room, night by night, held within walls meant to shelter, not reveal.

This episode explores how isolation shapes a home’s interior rhythms — where voices go unheard, pressure accumulates without release, and a house becomes the only witness because nothing outside is close enough to notice. Rural settings don’t broadcast emergencies. They absorb them.

The Dover house still stands near County Road 112, Dover, Arkansas, a reminder that places don’t have to be hostile to be complicit. Sometimes they only need to be remote. Because when silence goes uninterrupted long enough, it stops being neutral.

Episode 40
The Dauphine Street Room (415 Dauphine Street)

Description
In the heart of New Orleans’ French Quarter stands a narrow rental building on Dauphine Street that has spent more than a century welcoming strangers. Sailors, tourists, musicians, and drifters have all passed through its doors, staying just long enough to be forgotten.

In nineteen seventy one, two visitors checked into an upstairs room and never came out.

What police uncovered was not a crime of passion, but a system. A man who had lived inside the building long enough to learn its blind spots, its service corridors, and its quiet places. A man who used keys and patience instead of force, choosing rooms the way others choose victims.

Today, the same space is marketed online as a short term rental. Fresh paint. Clean sheets. A carefully staged photograph of a place built for temporary lives.

This episode explores how buildings designed for strangers can become perfect hunting grounds, and how places that make money on forgetting are very good at hiding what they remember.

Episode 39

The House on Cherokee Street

Description
In a row of brick homes on Cherokee Street in South St. Louis, one house went quiet in the winter of nineteen ninety three. No screams. No gunshots. No neighbors calling the police. Just a family that stopped answering the door.

Inside, investigators found a scene that defied every comforting narrative about violence. A mother, a father, and a child lay dead in their own beds. The doors were locked. The windows were closed. And one member of the family was missing.

What followed was not a story about an intruder, but about a home that had become too small for the people inside it. A place where arguments, fear, and silence stacked up until a breaking point was reached.

This episode explores the psychology of domestic collapse and the way houses absorb what happens inside them.
Because when a family is destroyed from within, the walls do not forget.

Episode Title
The Room on Lorimer Street Part 2

Description
In the heart of 1940s Brooklyn, a narrow three story boarding house on Lorimer Street served as a temporary home for men chasing work along the East River. But one room on the second floor carried a reputation no one talked about openly. Tenants came and went too quickly. A few never left at all.

When machinist Harold Givens is found dead behind a locked door, Detective Julian Rourke enters the house expecting a simple poisoning. What he uncovers instead is a pattern stretching back years — unexplained deaths, vanished boarders, a landlady drowning in guilt, and a labyrinth hidden inside the walls where someone has been watching the tenants sleep.

As Rourke pushes deeper into the building’s anatomy, he discovers a predator who has lived inside the structure so long that the line between man and house has begun to blur. In a place built for transients, one resident never left. And he made sure others couldn’t either.

This episode digs into the claustrophobia of urban isolation, the psychology of closed spaces, and the way old buildings absorb the people who inhabit them.
Because tenants forget.
But the walls never do.

Episode 36 — The House of Prayer

Hidden behind the sleepy streets of Hinesville, Georgia, a church stood that promised salvation, discipline, and truth. But what unfolded inside the House of Prayer Christian Church was something far more sinister.

Veterans were recruited and drawn in by faith, then held in submission by fear. Bound not by ropes, but by manipulation, isolation, and spiritual blackmail. They were told they were soldiers in God’s army — but they were pawns in a carefully engineered con that exploited the U.S. government’s GI Bill system, funneling millions of dollars into the hands of a self-proclaimed prophet.

Led by the reclusive and volatile Rony Denis, the House of Prayer operated like a cult. Surveillance. Silence. Psychological warfare disguised as religious devotion. And when the federal raids came in 2022, they exposed a network of spiritual and financial abuse that stretched across multiple states.

Yet even after the headlines faded, the church remained. The buildings still stand. The signs are still up. And for many, the trauma still lingers.

This episode explores the haunted architecture of Hinesville’s House of Prayer, the machinery of religious control, and the brave voices of veterans who escaped and fought back.

Episode 35: The Broadnax Murders
📍 Featured Address: 1706 East 12th Street, Austin, Texas

In 2012, inside a modest home in East Austin, three lives were extinguished in what appeared to be a drug deal turned execution. Carla Reed, George Stewart, and Tiffani Hill were shot in the head — their bodies left for days as the city outside carried on unaware. The man arrested for the crime was Raymond Broadnax, a Houston ex-con with a long history and a short fuse.

This episode explores not just the murders, but the haunting stillness that clings to the house where they happened — a property that still stands today, worn and watching. We trace the investigation, the conflicting narratives, and the slow grind of a justice system that convicted a man but couldn’t offer closure.

It’s a story of silence, cycles of violence, and a forgotten home in a rapidly gentrifying city — where memory is often bulldozed, but trauma lingers in the walls.

⚠️ Content Warning: Graphic descriptions of gun violence and murder. Listener discretion is advised.

Episode 35: 23 Cranley Gardens

Muswell Hill, London. 1981. A quiet, respectable neighborhood in North London — the kind of place where people nod politely to their neighbors, where a second-floor flat doesn’t raise suspicion. But behind the door of 23 Cranley Gardens, something monstrous had taken root.

Dennis Nilsen was the man upstairs. A former police officer and civil servant. Unassuming. Courteous. Invisible, until the plumbing told a different story. In February of 1983, a foul blockage in the building’s pipes led to a grim discovery — human remains flushed down the toilet. What followed was one of the most shocking serial murder investigations in British history.

Inside the flat, police found dismembered bodies stuffed in cupboards, plastic bags, and beneath the floorboards. Nilsen confessed with disturbing calm: he had murdered at least fifteen young men. Most had never been missed.

This episode delves into the chilling double life of Dennis Nilsen — a man who killed for company and kept his victims close long after death. We examine the failures that let him go unnoticed, the psychological unraveling beneath his composed exterior, and the flat at 23 Cranley Gardens that became both a tomb and a trap. Even now, decades later, the address carries the weight of unspeakable memory — a place where horror lived just beyond the walls.
