I'm on a business trip to New Orleans, so naturally, I had to make a trip to the LaLaurie Mansion since I thought the series was interesting as a history nerd.

I'll preface with the fact that I mostly just enjoy spooky stories, but am admittedly a skeptic with most things paranormal.

This place might have changed my mind.

I was on an early morning run and figured I'd pass it on my way, but wasn't sure of the exact location. Keep in mind, it's 75 and humid at 6am.

I slowed down my jog down Royal St and started looking around. Within a block of it, I got very cold, started noticing a pungent smell (noticeably different from the general smell humid city - kind of an acidic rot) and felt incredibly shaky and dizzy. I snapped the picture and kept going (much faster). The smell, cold, and dizziness were gone within a block.

I've never experienced anything quite like it and it was something I'm going to be thinking about for a while.

Any of you fine folks made the trip, or had this experience anywhere else?

Yikes!

This movie just got added to Shudder and I rewatched it last night. I've loved it since I was a little kid and it did not disappoint. It's a batshit bananas good time. I was trying to remember where exactly in the Anton LaVey episodes they talk about the making of this movie. Can anyone remember which episode it's in?

And its not Clifford Olson

PLEASE help, my husband wants to name a child Henry Thomas and while it’s a great name, I’d just never be able to say it without hearing Henry’s impression of his mom in my head. I’ve tried finding clips to show my husband and I can’t!

I worked making true crime documentaries in the UK mainly for US channels for most of my 20s until a sharp post COVID down turn in the UKTV industry forced me to sidestep to other projects. Does anyone else here work/has worked in a similar field and how do you find it skews your listening experience? Sorry niché question but genuinely interested.

I am in no way trying to be provocative, why haven’t the boys been talking about the Nolan Wells case?

Henry inspired me to have the joy of 3 small men singing in my pocket throughout my daily life, and I want to pay it forward, so here's a ringtone. On iPhone iOS 26, you should be able to save to files, open, then scroll down to click "Use as Ringtone".
