• Ep. 138: Mind Over Matter- Anatoly Moskvin & The Tulpa

  This week on Spirits with Crime, we’re diving straight into the uncanny valley.First up: Anatoly Moskvin, the Russian historian with a dark hobby; exhuming the bodies of little girls and turning them into eerily lifelike dolls. Then, we’re heading into the metaphysical with the Tulpa, a being said to be born entirely from human thought. Could our fears, obsessions, and darkest imaginings actually take form in the real world? Don’t forget to drop your thoughts and theories in the comments or reviews! I want to know: do you think the idea of the Tulpa is real?

• Ep. 137: As Above, So Below- The Case of Phoebe Handsjuk & Devil's Tower

  Hold onto your cocktail glasses, spooky souls, because today’s episode takes fear to new heights. This episode’s all about acrophobia.We’re diving headfirst (pun absolutely intended) into the chilling case of Phoebe Handsjuk, a story that still leaves investigators asking one question: Did she fall… or was she pushed? Then we scale things even higher with the eerie legends of Devil’s Tower, a place so otherworldly it’s sparked everything from alien theories to Native American folklore about spirits that guard the skies.So grab your drink and join me as we look up, look down, and try not to lose our balance. Cheers!Don’t forget to leave a review or comment to tell me which story had your stomach dropping faster — Phoebe’s mysterious fall, or the legends surrounding Devil’s Tower. Sign up for the newsletter @ ⁠⁠https://spiritswithcrime.wixsite.com/swcpodcast⁠⁠Send Me a Story! @ [email protected] & Instagram: spiritswithcrimepodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get Shaker & Spoon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sources: https://cocktailpartyapp.com/drinks/biscotti-spritz/https://allthatsinteresting.com/phoebe-handsjukhttps://www.phoebehandsjuk.comhttps://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-12-10/woman-who-fell-down-garbage-chute-was-sleepwalking-coroner-says/5956852https://www.mamamia.com.au/phoebe-handsjuk-death/https://www.usgs.gov/geology-and-ecology-of-national-parks/devils-tower-national-monumenthttps://www.usgs.gov/publications/geology-devils-tower-national-monument-wyominghttps://www.nps.gov/deto/learn/nature/tower-formation.htmhttps://www.nps.gov/deto/learn/historyculture/first-stories.htmhttps://www.nps.gov/deto/learn/historyculture/reverence.htmhttps://www.visitrapidcity.com/blog/post/the-story-of-devils-tower-national-monument/https://www.iaa.uni-rostock.de/forschung/laufende-forschungsprojekte/american-antiquities-prof-mackenthun/landmark-stories/devils-tower-1/

  Creepy crawly alert! This week on Spirits with Crime, yes, bugs are involved.First up, meet Theodore Coneys, the Denver Spider-Man, a man who literally lived in the shadows… and in the ceiling of his victims’ homes. Then, we swarm over to The Plague of Flies, exploring how swarms of insects have long been tied to demonic forces, curses, and the supernatural.

• Ep. 135: Deadly Faith & Folklore- Aum Shinrikyo & The Tokoloshe

  Hey, spooky souls! Welcome back to another episode– today’s stories will take us to some dark and traumatic places. First, we’re heading underground to Tokyo in 1995, where the doomsday cult Aum Shinrikyo unleashed a deadly sarin gas attack on the subway. It’s one of the most shocking acts of domestic terrorism in history, with a mix of apocalyptic prophecy, twisted science, and cult control. Then, we head south to the folklore of South Africa to meet the Tokoloshe: a mischievous, terrifying creature blamed for everything from bad luck to sudden deaths. So grab your drink, keep your feet off the floor, and settle in for this dark, twisted, and spooky double feature. Cheers!As always, I’d love to hear your thoughts, hot takes, or theories on today’s stories.
