Transcription

Martha Moxley was a popular 15 year old living with her parents and bother in the exclusive neighborhood of Belle Haven in Greenwich, Connecticut. Across the street from the Moxley’s lived the Skakel’s, related by marriage to the Kennedy’s. Martha was friends with two of the Skakel boys, 15 year old Michael and 17 year old Tommy. So her mother, Dorthy, thought nothing of it when on the night of October 30, 1975, Martha asked and was allowed to go across the street to a party at the Skakel’s house. BUT, Martha never came home that night. Her parents searched the neighborhood and called all of her friends, no one knew where she was until the next day. Halloween afternoon Martha’s beaten dead body was found under a tree in her own back yard. She had been beaten and killed in her driveway the night before between 9:30pm and 10:00pm, then dragged to where she was found. The murder weapon was found to be a golf club used in such a fit of rage that it had broken from the hard blows to Martha’s body. Because they were the last to see Martha, Michael and Tommy were immediately under suspicion. Listen as Beth dives deeper into this case. Was the right person imprisoned or is there someone out there that was never even questioned?

October 31, Halloween. We have parties, trick or treat, wear costumes, and watch scary movies, but where in this world did the holiday of Halloween come from? Bettina goes back 2,000 years to the Celtic festival of Samhain and takes you through the evolution of the Halloween we know today.

Transcription

William (BJ) Liske’s aggression towards his stepmother, Susan, span many years and during that time escalated from verbal to physical. BJ suffered from Schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type, making him very hard to live with at times, especially when he was off of his meds., but his father, William, always stood by his son’s side. This, of course, put William in a very tough position. He was loyal to his son, but he had to protect his wife. This position was put to the test when BJ attacked Susan while she was in the shower. William had no choice, he moved 18 year old BJ out of the family home and into a halfway house. On Oct 31, 2010 the family’s problems reached a peak. Listen as Bettina describes what 16 year old Devon, Susan’s youngest son, thought, at first, to be a Halloween stunt but soon realized was a horrible nightmare.

Beth covers the legend of Sleepy Hollow and the Headless Horseman. Most of us have heard the story, but now we become more informed as Beth tells us the context and insights into the main character, Ichabod Crane. We feel for Ichabod on that dark, cold, lonely stretch home. Not a real brave soul to begin with, his mind becomes filled with the story of the Headless Horseman. He can hardly keep it together because of his fear. He has to make it across the bridge that the Horseman can not cross, then he’ll be safe! Then, just a short distance from the bridge, he hears the galloping of a horse behind him, gaining on him, when he turns to look his fear escalates because the rider has no head!!! What a great Halloween story thanks to the imagination of writer, Washington Irving!

William, BJ, Liske plead guilty to the murders of his father, mother, and stepbrother. On Sept. 14, 2011 he received a life sentence without the possibility of parole. What is going on in BJ’s mind at the time of this picture?https://www.cantonrep.com/story/news/state/2011/09/14/william-liske-gets-life-for/42565162007/

Both Sleepy Hollow and Ichabod Crane have been depicted in many forms, from cartoon to Johnny Depp, from funny to down right scary. https://halloweenspecials.fandom.com/wiki/Ichabod_Crane

The true crime this week will have you going down rabbit holes…so many questions and no answers. 18 year old Josh Maddux left his house on May 8, 2008 to go for a walk. Josh was not seen again until August 2015 when a demolition team found his body stuck in the chimney of a cabin less than a mile from his home. Had he tried to get into the cabin by way of the chimney? But then why were his clothes in a pile neatly folded inside the cabin? The coroner’s report stated “Accidental death”. Listen as Beth covers this mind boggling true crime. Was it an extremely odd accidental death or was it murder?

Who’s up for a road trip to the quaint, little town of Manitou Springs, Colorado? Bettina covers not one, but three places in the town which was founded in 1872. Disembodied voices of children, running footsteps and children’s laughter have been reported many times by guests of the historic Avenue Hotel B&B. For dinner one can go to Briarhurst Manor, but don’t just expect a delicious meal. There have been sightings of a skeletal lady in white who is said to float around the grounds. And many reports of a little girl playing ball on the lawn, only this little girl is wearing clothing from a century ago. Then there’s the story of poor, sick Emma Crawford whose only real desire was to be buried on the top of Red Mountain when she died. Her desire was fulfilled, but due to unfortunate circumstances Emma and her coffin did not stay in their original burial spot and instead where washed down the mountain. Emma was laid to rest in the town’s cemetery, but it is said that she roams Red Mountain searching for the spot she was originally laid to rest. Listen and you’ll find out how the town of Manitou remembers Emma every year around Halloween since 1994.

Joshua Maddux went missing May 8, 2008. Family and friends never gave up hope that Josh was alive until that horrible day, 7 years later, when his body was found. https://www.denverpost.com/2015/10/19/chimney-discovery-ends-mystery-over-young-mans-disappearance-but-questions-remain/

Josh’s body was discovered in the chimney of a dilapidated old cabin less than a mile from his family’s house on Aug 7, 2015. https://www.strangeoutdoors.com/strange-indoors/joshua-maddux

How Josh’s body got into the chimney and the positions it was found in raises so many questions including how is this an accidental death? https://allthecreepylittlethings.blogspot.com/2019/05/the-body-in-chimney-disturbing-case-of.html

The absolutely charming town of Manitou Springs, CO sits at the foot of Pikes Peak. Could a place this lovely really be haunted? https://www.pikes-peak.com/attractions/historic-manitou-springs/

Briarhurst Manor, the spirits that reside are said to be those of the Briarhurst family. Much happiness filled the home, so why wouldn’t the spirits come back to where they were happiest when alive? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Briarhurst

Bettina starts the episode with a warning:  If you have a weak stomach and you’re eating while listening, you may want to wait for an hour or so after you eat to resume listening. Why? She covers the topic of cannibalism. There are actually 9 different types of cannibalism, or anthropophagi. Bettina covers five of these, survival, pathological, epicurean, or gustatory, medicinal, and sacrificial cannibalism. Intrigued? Listen as cannibalism from around the world is covered.

Beth covers the fascinating topic of children and the spirit world. Beth disputes the thought that children are just more in tune with the spirit world than we are, instead she suggests that maybe it’s their innocence that enables them to be psychic or see spirits. Think about a child’s imagination, or their “imaginary” friend. To the child there is no “imaginary” about it, they see the friend, they listen and speak to their friend. Perhaps it’s the same thing with spirits. The child can actually see the spirit and interact with it. Most of us adults can not see these spirits because we have shut that part of our brain. Society tells us we can not “see dead people”, or our minds are so full of concerns and doubts so much so that we can no longer be open to imagination. Join us as Beth covers this intriguing topic as well as shares her interview with Reiki Master and Intuitive, Christy Marsh.

The skull unearthed in Jamestown shows markings to it that indicate that survival cannibalism may have happened among the few remaining, starving colonists. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/05/01/jamestown-cannibalism/2126421/

In the Smithsonian article, Sleeping with Cannibals, Journalist Paul Raffaele shared his visit with a Korowai Clan located deep in the jungle of Indonesia. The Korowai practice ritual/sacrificial cannibalism. The article, listed below, is a fascinating read. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/travel/sleeping-with-cannibals-128958913/

Christy Marsh is a Clinical Nutritionist, a Holistic Health Practitioner and a Reiki Master. With her education and training she treats the whole person.

Amie Harwick, a very successful Hollywood marriage and family therapist was found in the early hours of Feb 15, 2020 barley alive . She had been strangled and pushed from her third floor bedroom balcony. Amie died in the hospital a few hours later and it wasn’t long before all fingers pointed at Gareth Pursehouse, her ex-boyfriend as the suspect. He and Amie began dating in 2008. Their relationship was great for the first 6 months, but then Gareth showed his true colors. He became possessive, controlling, and physically abusive. Amie was done with the relationship in 2012 and sent Gareth packing. She thrived, he stalked her. By 2020 Gareth was still not over the loss of Amie. It is suspected that he broke into her home and waited for her to return from a girl’s night out. When she arrived home all the pain and fury that had built up in Gareth were let loose on unsuspecting Amie. Gareth was arrested within hours of Amie’s death. A preliminary hearing was held in Sept. 2021 with evidence of Gareth’s guilt being extraordinary. The DNA found at the scene matched Gareth’s so much so that the chance of it belonging to anyone else was less than one in one septillion . ( A new word for both Bettina and Beth, meaning a 1 with 24 Os behind it)

What!!! Disney Land in Anaheim, Ca is haunted! There have been millions of visitors to the magical theme park since it’s opening in 1955.

Beth tells us about the building and opening of Disney Land and goes on to regale us with stories of ghosts that refuse to leave “the happiest place on earth”, including personal stories of visitors and staff that have witnessed the Disney Land spirits.

Beth introduces us to Randy Woodfield, a 30 year old bartender from Salem, Oregon also know as…”the I-5 Killer”. Woodfield started exposing himself to women at the young age of 11. In High School his “exposure acts” were covered up by his coaches who wanted to keep him on the team as he was an excellent football player, so much so that he was drafter by the Green Bay Packers in 1973. His NFL days were short lived having been cut from the team once training started. Why? Well, he was back to his “flashing” hobby. Then, in the 1980’s, he escalated. Woodfield is accused of raping at least 60 women and killing at least 18. His victims were all found on the I-5 from Washington to California where the bodies of the victims he kill were also found. Listen as Beth fills you in on this very disturbing case.

Bettina shares with you her and Beth’s adventures in beautiful Astoria, OR. Because of its long history it was hard to chose just one of the many haunted places in and around the town. So there are 5 different locations that are covered. Bettina shares the history and paranormal activities at the Uppertown Firefighter’s Museum, Ft Stevens, The Liberty Theater, The Flavel House, and the underground tunnels. Listen to find out which ones we visited and our paranormal experiences at them.

31 years ago on Dec 6, 1991 in Austin, TX four horrible murders were committed. It was a Friday night at the I Can’t Believe It’s Yogurt Shop in a strip Mall. Jennifer Harbison, 17, and Eliza Thomas, 17, were working the closing shift. Shortly after 9pm they were joined by Jennifer’s 15 year old sister Sarah Harbison and Sarah’s best friend, 13 year old Amy Ayers. All four were active, ambitious, hard working, animal loving young women whose lives were taken far too early, leaving holes in their families and the communities’ hearts. To this day, no one has been arrested in the Yogurt Shop Murders, but with the small amount of DNA found at the crime scene and with advances made in DNA analysis yearly, the killers are sure to be uncovered. Someone out there must know something. If you have any information about the Dec 6, 1991 Yogurt Shop Murders please call the Austin Police Department, 512-974-5000. Let’s Never forget Amy Ayers, Jennifer Harbison, Sarah Harbison, and Eliza Thomas, rest in peace angels.

The Haunted Hill House in Mineral Wells TX was built in 1892 by a woman named Fannie Yeager. With it’s history of pain, death, devil worship and the occult it’s no wonder that Hill House is known as one of the most haunted, darkest houses in the US. EVP readings, disembodied voices and crying, and scratches are just a few of the unexplained things that have happened to investigators and visitors at Hill House. Oh, and we can’t forget the demon, Toby, that seems to dominate over the house. Could Toby be the shadow man in the front yard beckoning passerby’s to enter the grounds and Hill House itself? This is one place that even Beth refuses to visit!

Maurice Pierce (16), Forrest Welborn (15), Robert Springsteen (17), and Michael Scott (17) were questioned for the murders, but had to be released because there was no evidence against them. In 1999 the four men were again questioned. Michael Scott and Robert Springsteen were arrested and convicted, but years later the convictions were overturned on constitutional grounds and their DNA did not match what was found at the scene. https://truecrimegarage.com/blogs/true-crime-garage/posts/austin-yogurt-shop-murders-81-82

115. The Lululemon Murder and The Haunted White House

Summary

Bettina is not a fashionista, and that’s made apparent on this week’s episode, as she covers the Lululemon murder in Bethesda Maryland. Jayna Murray was brutally murdered by her coworker at the athletic apparel retail store in 2011. But, brutal doesn’t even begin to describe it. Anger may ensue after hearing this case… and that’s why Beth lightens it up with the hauntings and the haunted from the White House in DC.  The Jack Rose cocktail helped some in the humor as well!
Cheers!
