The Mothman & The Chicago Sightings: Chicago, Latin America & Florida - Part 2
The Mothman didn't stay in Point Pleasant. In Part 2 of our deep dive, Kristin follows the winged humanoid known as The Mothman out of West Virginia and into the modern world. A 1948 sighting in Chehalis, Washington, that predates Point Pleasant by nearly two decades; a disputed 1957 case in Braidwood, Illinois, and then Chicago, where paranormal investigator Lon Strickler mapped over 160 reports between 2011 and 2020, from O'Hare Airport to Lincoln Park's Oz Park. We dig into the skeptical case from a University of Chicago memory researcher, cross the border into Mexico's El Hombre Pájaro and reports from Argentina and Brazil, and land somewhere much closer to home: recent winged-humanoid reports out of Zephyr Hills and Pasco County, Florida — just up the road from where we record. Is the internet manufacturing the Mothman, or just finally letting us compare notes?For bonus episodes, sneak peeks, and group chats, join our Patreon!If you have a fun discussion question that you'd like us to answer on the podcast, email it to us at fearandwinepod@gmail.comVisit our website:https://www.fearandwine.com/Follow us:Instagram: @fearandwinepodhttps://www.instagram.com/fearandwinepod/Threads: @fearandwinepodhttps://www.threads.net/@fearandwinepodTikTok: @fear.wine.podcasthttps://www.tiktok.com/@fearandwinepodYouTube: @FearAndWinePodhttps://www.youtube.com/@FearAndWinePodBuy Me A Coffee:buymeacoffee.com/fearandwineX: @fearandwinepodJoin our Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/cw/FearandwineHosted on Ausha.

The Mothman of Point Pleasant: From Ancient Omens to the Silver Bridge Collapse - Part 1
A spooky-season strange-phenomena episode of Fear & Wine. The Mothman of Point Pleasant. Before the movie, there was Point Pleasant, West Virginia: a small Appalachian town built on an abandoned WWII TNT plant, ancient burial mounds, and Cold War nerves. In Part 1 of our two-part Mothman deep dive, Kristin traces the seven-foot, red-eyed figure back through 48,000-year-old cave paintings, Mesopotamian demons, Welsh death omens, and Shawnee tradition, before landing on November 1966, when two young couples reported a winged creature outside the old North Power Plant. From there, the story widens: John Keel, the Men in Black, sewing-machine salesman Woodrow Derenberger and his telepathic visitor Indrid Cold, and the December 1967 collapse of the Silver Bridge that ended the sightings and turned a cryptid into an omen.(Part 2- the Mothman's return in Chicago...coming soon.)Note: Bonus video version (with Kristin's full presentation) available on PatreonFor bonus episodes, sneak peeks, and group chats, join our Patreon!If you have a fun discussion question that you'd like us to answer on the podcast, email it to us at fearandwinepod@gmail.comVisit our website:https://www.fearandwine.com/Follow us:Instagram: @fearandwinepodhttps://www.instagram.com/fearandwinepod/Threads: @fearandwinepodhttps://www.threads.net/@fearandwinepodTikTok: @fear.wine.podcasthttps://www.tiktok.com/@fearandwinepodYouTube: @FearAndWinePodhttps://www.youtube.com/@FearAndWinePodBuy Me A Coffee:buymeacoffee.com/fearandwineX: @fearandwinepodJoin our Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/cw/FearandwineHosted on Ausha.

The Disappearance of Ingrid Lane: Part 2 (Update on the Missing New Mexico Researcher)
Part Two of our investigation into the disappearance of Ingrid Lane. On October 15th, 2023, Ingrid Lane, a violinist, scholar, and quantum computing researcher affiliated with Sandia National Laboratories, left her home outside Albuquerque and was never seen again. In this episode, Kristin walks through the last documented day, hour by hour, built entirely from original body-cam and witness recordings obtained through a public records request that have never been played publicly before. It includes an eyewitness account of two unidentified people with Ingrid on a remote mountain road that's never been reported anywhere, and a contradiction in the official record about where her car actually was that no one has ever explained. We also cover why Ingrid Lane's identical twin's DNA still isn't in the national missing persons database, three years later, and what you can do if you have any information at all.For bonus episodes, sneak peeks, and group chats, join our Patreon!If you have a fun discussion question that you'd like us to answer on the podcast, email it to us at fearandwinepod@gmail.comVisit our website:https://www.fearandwine.com/Follow us:Instagram: @fearandwinepodhttps://www.instagram.com/fearandwinepod/Threads: @fearandwinepodhttps://www.threads.net/@fearandwinepodTikTok: @fear.wine.podcasthttps://www.tiktok.com/@fearandwinepodYouTube: @FearAndWinePodhttps://www.youtube.com/@FearAndWinePodBuy Me A Coffee:buymeacoffee.com/fearandwineX: @fearandwinepodJoin our Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/cw/FearandwineHosted on Ausha.

Season 4 Episode 3 of Black Mirror: Crocodile. We're back with another Black Mirror deep dive; this time it's Season 4's “Crocodile.” One reckless night in the Icelandic mountains, one hit-and-run, and one very bad decision to cover it up together setoff a spiral that follows two people for years. Kelli walks Kristin, Leah, and Alisan through Mia and Rob's unraveling. From panicked twenty-somethings to a successful architect and a recovering alcoholic who can't let the past go — plus the memory-recall technology that turns a routine insurance investigation into something much worse. We also get into the Black Mirror episode's title backstory and go down a rabbit hole about whether automated pizza delivery trucks are real yet.Wine Pairing: The Squad Sauvignon Blanc by Tooth & Nail WineryFor bonus episodes, sneak peeks, and group chats, join our Patreon!If you have a fun discussion question that you'd like us to answer on the podcast, email it to us at fearandwinepod@gmail.comVisit our website:https://www.fearandwine.com/Follow us:Instagram: @fearandwinepodhttps://www.instagram.com/fearandwinepod/Threads: @fearandwinepodhttps://www.threads.net/@fearandwinepodTikTok: @fear.wine.podcasthttps://www.tiktok.com/@fearandwinepodYouTube: @FearAndWinePodhttps://www.youtube.com/@FearAndWinePodBuy Me A Coffee:buymeacoffee.com/fearandwineX: @fearandwinepodJoin our Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/cw/FearandwineHosted on Ausha.

The Physics, The Biology, and The Cover-UpThis is a Fear & Wine Uncorked Coven Patreon episode we felt was important for more people to know.Fear & Wine dives deep into Havana Syndrome, the mysterious illness that has affected hundreds of U.S. diplomats and intelligence officers since 2016. What the government once dismissed as stress, overwork, or even crickets has now been confirmed by independent scientists and government officials in 2025–2026 to be the result of a real, portable, directed-energy weapon that uses pulsed microwave radiation. Kristen walks through the confirmed physics of Havana Syndrome, the documented biology, the weapon’s escalation ladder, its chain of historical development, and the disturbing pattern of who is being targeted and why.For bonus episodes, sneak peeks, and group chats, join our Patreon!If you have a fun discussion question that you'd like us to answer on the podcast, email it to us at fearandwinepod@gmail.comVisit our website:https://www.fearandwine.com/Follow us:Instagram: @fearandwinepodhttps://www.instagram.com/fearandwinepod/Threads: @fearandwinepodhttps://www.threads.net/@fearandwinepodTikTok: @fearandwinepodhttps://www.tiktok.com/@fearandwinepodYouTube: @FearAndWinePodhttps://www.youtube.com/@FearAndWinePodBuy Me A Coffee:buymeacoffee.com/fearandwineX: @fearandwinepodJoin our Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/cw/FearandwineHosted on Ausha.

The Witch: A New England Folktale: Part 2 of 2
The Witch Recap Part 2. This week we're deep in 1630s New England for The Witch (2015). Robert Eggers' slow-burn folk horror about a Puritan family exiled to the edge of the wilderness, and what starts picking them off once they're alone in it. Kelli walks Kristin, Leah, and Alisan through a recap of The Witch. The disappearance of baby Samuel, the family's unraveling faith, and the goat who steals the entire movie. Plus, our usual sidebar: could any of us actually survive alone in the woods? This one came recommended by Kristin's daughter as a certified Gen Z cult classic, and it more than earns the label.

Buried Near the House: The Story of Serial Killer Billy Mansfield Jr.
Kristin covers one of Florida's coldest cases and the story of serial killer Billy Mansfield Jr.In late June 2026, federal agents and cadaver dogs turned up on a ranch road in Hernando County, Florida —and a case most people have never heard of resurfaced. This episode traces the full story of Billy Mansfield Jr., convicted of murdering six women and girls across Florida and California in the late 1970s and early 1980s, including a 15-year-old on a family camping trip and a young Tampa woman last seen leaving a bar. We walk the timeline from the first excavation on the Mansfield family property in 1981 — where investigators say Billy'sfather and brother were more involved than most coverage lets on — through a still-unresolved 2020 discovery, to the 2026 dig that turned up nothing new. We also cover the ongoing effort to identify Billy Mansfield's one remaining unnamed victim through DNA and genealogy, and how listeners can help if they have a missing family member from this era.For bonus episodes, sneak peeks, and group chats, join our Patreon!If you have a fun discussion question that you'd like us to answer on the podcast, email it to us at fearandwinepod@gmail.comVisit our website:https://www.fearandwine.com/Follow us:Instagram: @fearandwinepodhttps://www.instagram.com/fearandwinepod/Threads: @fearandwinepodhttps://www.threads.net/@fearandwinepodTikTok: @fear.wine.podcasthttps://www.tiktok.com/@fearandwinepodYouTube: @FearAndWinePodhttps://www.youtube.com/@FearAndWinePodBuy Me A Coffee:buymeacoffee.com/fearandwineX: @fearandwinepodJoin our Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/cw/FearandwineHosted on Ausha.
