Bihl Manor, one of America's most talked-about haunted houses in Fremont, Ohio, is about to get the HGTV treatment in the new series A Very Haunted Renovation, premiering September 15th. In this episode, we cover the real, documented history of Bihl Manor — from its 1890s origins as a private family home to its decades as a children's group home — and take an honest, opinionated look at how the new show's ghost-story framing lines up against actual local historical records. This is a documentation-first breakdown of where the real history ends and the "TV lore" begins. Time to press play
In the 1980s, a sweet-looking grandmother ran a boarding house in Sacramento, California. Dorothea Puente took in the city’s most vulnerable residents—elderly folks on Social Security, mentally ill individuals, recovering addicts—and presented herself as a caring caretaker who gave them a safe place to live.But behind the floral dresses and homemade cookies, Dorothea was systematically murdering her tenants, burying their bodies in her yard, and cashing their Social Security checks for months or years after their deaths.In November 1988, police excavated her property at 1426 F Street and found seven bodies buried in the garden. The subsequent investigation revealed at least nine confirmed victims, and possibly many more. This is the story of one of America’s most chilling serial killers—a woman who weaponized the appearance of kindness to prey on society’s most forgotten people.**CONTENT WARNING:** This episode contains detailed discussions of elder abuse, murder, financial exploitation of vulnerable people, and descriptions of bodies being discovered. Listener discretion is advised.
Belle Gunness — known as Lady Bluebeard, the Mistress of Murder Farm, and Hell's Belle — is considered one of the most prolific serial killers in American history. In this episode of Creepy Shit, we dig into the true, documented story of how a LaPorte, Indiana farm woman used matrimonial ads, insurance fraud, and a remote farmhouse to lure and kill more than forty men in the early 1900s. From two suspicious husband deaths to the discovery of the "murder farm" after a mysterious 1908 fire, to the unresolved mystery of whether the headless body found in the ashes was really hers — this is a fully documented true crime deep dive into one of the most disturbing and unsolved cases in American history.

Between 1907 and 1916, a charming caregiver named Amy Archer-Gilligan operated a quiet rest home in Windsor, Connecticut. But behind the respectable facade of the Archer Home for Elderly People, a nightmare was unfolding. At least 60 residents died under suspicious circumstances—many within weeks of paying substantial “lifetime care” fees. Their cause of death? Systematic poisoning with arsenic and strychnine.In this deep-dive episode, we explore one of the most prolific—yet forgotten—female serial killers in American history. Amy Archer-Gilligan murdered vulnerable elderly patients for profit over nearly a decade, and her crimes directly inspired the classic play and film “Arsenic and Old Lace.”

On February 11th 1979 five friends from the small Hawaiian town of Hana borrowed a seventeen foot Boston Whaler, loaded it with beer and snacks, and headed out into a calm and beautiful Pacific morning for a day of fishing. By mid-afternoon a storm came out of nowhere. The Coast Guard searched 73,000 square miles and found nothing. Not the boat. Not the men. Not a single piece of wreckage. Nine years later — 2,300 miles away on one of the most remote and uninhabited atolls in the Pacific — a marine biologist stumbled across the wrecked boat half-buried in sand. And 100 yards away, a shallow grave marked with a driftwood cross. Inside — the partial remains of one of the five men. And buried beside him, something that has never been explained: a stack of papers separated by squares of tin foil. No writing. No markings. Just paper and foil, buried deliberately with the dead. Who put him there? How did that boat travel 2,300 miles through a narrow reef passage that oceanographers say it almost certainly couldn’t have navigated alone? Where are the other four men? And what was buried in that grave with Scott Moorman? This is the full documented story of the Sarah Joe — one of Hawaii’s most enduring and genuinely haunting maritime mysteries. All of it is real. None of it has ever been explained.Topics covered: Sarah Joe disappearance, Hawaiian maritime mystery, Scott Moorman, Taongi Atoll Marshall Islands, missing fishermen Hawaii 1979, unsolved disappearances, paranormal history, maritime mysteries, Pacific Ocean mystery, joss paper burial, unexplained mysteries, dark history, creepy true crime, unsolved mysteries
On January 2nd 1935 a young man walked into the Hotel President in Kansas City Missouri, checked into Room 1046, and was found two days later beaten, stabbed, bound, and barely breathing in a blood soaked room. He died without ever naming his attacker. His name wasn’t even real. It took nearly two years to identify him. And then, after he was dead and buried, someone started sending his mother letters. Typed letters. From cities across the country. Pretending to be him. This case has been open for over 90 years. There is a five inch thick police file sitting in the Kansas City Police Department right now. The hotel still stands — it’s a Hilton. Room 1046 still exists. And not a single person has ever been charged. This is the full story of one of the most bizarre, layered, and genuinely haunting unsolved cases in American history — and we are going all the way in.Topics covered: Room 1046, Hotel President Kansas City, Artemus Ogletree, Roland T Owen, unsolved murder 1935, Kansas City cold case, true crime, paranormal history, haunted hotels, dark history, unsolved mysteries, creepy true crime, bizarre historical cases
