Matthew Hoffman is an Ohio man whose crimes became known nationwide after a brutal triple homicide in 2010. On November 10, Hoffman broke into the rural home of Tina Herrmann in Apple Valley, killing Tina, her son Kody Maynard, and family friend Stephanie Sprang. He later dismembered the victims and hid their remains inside a hollowed-out tree in the nearby Kokosing State Wildlife Area. During the attack, he abducted Tina’s 13-year-old daughter Sarah, holding her captive in his basement for four days before police discovered her alive during a rescue raid.

Hoffman, who had a history of bizarre obsessions with trees, leaves, and the forest, never gave a clear motive for the killings. He ultimately pleaded guilty to multiple counts of aggravated murder, kidnapping, burglary, and abuse of a corpse. He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Demetrius Terrence Frazier was an Alabama death row inmate whose crimes span decades and involve a series of brutal sexual assaults and the murder of 13-year-old Crystal Kendrick in Birmingham. Beginning in the mid-1990s, Frazier targeted women and girls—often breaking into homes and attacking his victims while they slept. For years, the cases remained unsolved until advances in DNA testing connected him to multiple rapes and ultimately to Crystal’s 1994 murder. His arrest led to a deeper investigation that uncovered his long pattern of predatory violence. Frazier was convicted and sentenced to death, and Alabama later set his execution by nitrogen hypoxia—making his case one of the first in the state to involve the controversial method.

This case centers on the horrific abuse and death of 15-year-old Timothy Ferguson, in Muskegon, Michigan. Timothy, who had autism and special needs, died in July 2022 after enduring months of starvation, physical abuse, and neglect at the hands of his mother, Shanda Vander Ark, and her older son, Paul Ferguson.

Investigators found that Timothy had been forced to eat hot sauce and bread soaked in hot sauce, was often denied food and water, and was confined to a filthy bedroom. Autopsy results revealed extreme malnutrition and signs of long-term abuse. Shanda was charged with first-degree murder and child abuse, while Paul faced related charges. In 2024, Shanda was found guilty of felony murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole. The case shocked Michigan and drew national attention for its brutality and the failure of child welfare systems to protect Timothy.

Utah is known for its red canyons, sacred desert silence, and breathtaking mountain ranges—but hidden within that beauty are stories that chill the bone. In this episode, we dig into four of Utah’s most unsettling legends and the eerie truths that may lurk beneath them.

We start deep in Escalante National Forest, where locals whisper that the Petrified Forest is cursed—those who pocket a stone are said to invite decades of misfortune, illness, and even death. From there, we travel north to Ogden Cemetery, home to the ominous Angel Statue and the spirit known as Florence. Some say her eyes follow trespassers, others claim her ghost appears beneath the angel’s outstretched wings when the clock strikes midnight.

Finally, we explore the mystery of The Devil’s Slide, a massive rock formation along I-84 said to mark the path of the devil himself—leaving behind a scar of stone as eternal evidence of his fall.

Join us as we separate folklore from fact, superstition from strange coincidence, and uncover what these legends might reveal about Utah’s darker side.

The Exorcism of Michael Taylor is one of Britain’s most disturbing and infamous cases of alleged demonic possession.

Michael Taylor was a 31-year-old man from Ossett, West Yorkshire, living a quiet life with his wife Christine and their five children. In 1974, he became deeply involved in a local Christian fellowship group led by Marie Robinson, a young, charismatic pastor. Christine grew suspicious of their relationship and confronted him publicly, triggering what witnesses described as a violent outburst—Taylor shouted obscenities and claimed evil was inside him.

Believing he was possessed, local ministers arranged an all-night exorcism on October 5, 1974, at St. Thomas’s Church. Over seven hours, priests attempted to cast out dozens of supposed demons representing vices such as anger, lust, and blasphemy. Exhausted, they ended the ritual early—saying a few demons still remained.

Only hours later, Taylor brutally murdered his wife, tearing out her eyes and tongue and stripping her flesh. He was found naked, covered in blood, claiming, “It is the blood of Satan.”

Psychiatrists later attributed his actions to mental illness rather than possession. Taylor was found not guilty by reason of insanity and spent years in psychiatric care.

The case remains one of the most chilling intersections of faith, psychology, and violence in modern British history.

The Eriksson twins, Ursula and Sabina Eriksson, are Swedish twin sisters whose bizarre and disturbing behavior in 2008 became the subject of worldwide attention and speculation.

In May 2008, the twins traveled unexpectedly from Ireland to England for reasons that remain unclear. While on the M6 motorway near Stoke-on-Trent, they were filmed by a BBC camera crew for the show Motorway Cops after running into traffic and being struck by vehicles. Despite suffering serious injuries, both women displayed extraordinary strength and erratic behavior — screaming, resisting police, and attempting to re-enter traffic.

After being released from custody, Sabina appeared calm, but within hours, she fatally stabbed a man named Glenn Hollinshead in Fenton. She then jumped off a bridge but survived and was later convicted of manslaughter due to diminished responsibility.

The case remains infamous for its unsettling mix of shared psychosis (folie à deux), unexplained motives, and shocking violence.
