Scams, Money, & Murder

In early 2001, a recreational caver named Ted documented his obsessive attempt to break through a sealed passage deep inside a cave... and what he found on the other side became one of the internet's earliest and most disturbing horror stories. Presented as a real personal account with photographs and journal entries, Ted the Caver predated modern creepypastas and convinced countless readers it was true. The story builds from physical claustrophobia to something far darker: unexplained sounds, a dog's terror, a screaming passage, and a presence that may have followed Ted home.For more follow Twisted Tales wherever you listen to podcasts: https://pod.link/1839058226Join Crime House+ to binge a special limited series on Murder: True Crime Stories for America’s 250th: The Crimes That Built America.

In the mid-1930s, Cleveland, Ohio was gripped by a series of brutal killings that would become one of the most disturbing mysteries in American criminal history. Victims were discovered dismembered, their heads and limbs removed, leaving investigators struggling to identify the dead or track the killer responsible. As the bodies began appearing along the city’s rail yards and riverbanks, fear spread across Cleveland. Authorities, including famed lawman Eliot Ness, launched an intense investigation, but the killer known as the “Mad Butcher of Kingsbury Run” remained elusive. Part one explores the discovery of the first victims and the growing terror that signaled a serial killer was at work.Follow Serial Killers & Murderous Minds for part 2 of this episode: https://pod.link/1769285458Join Crime House+ to binge a special limited series on Murder: True Crime Stories for America’s 250th: The Crimes That Built America.

Led by Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh (Osho), the movement built a utopian commune in Oregon that devolved into bioterrorism, immigration fraud, and assassination plots. In 1984, members carried out the largest bioterror attack in U.S. history by poisoning salad bars to sway a local election. The case shows how charismatic leadership and insular power structures can turn spiritual movements into criminal enterprises.For more, follow Crimes Of wherever you listen to podcasts: https://pod.link/1838511303Join Crime House+ to binge a special limited series on Murder: True Crime Stories for America’s 250th: The Crimes That Built America.

In April 2014, Kris Kremers and Lisanne Froon, two Dutch women in their early twenties, went for a daytime hike on a trail near Boquete, Panama. They never came back. Weeks later, their backpack was found on a jungle riverbank with their phones, camera, and cash still inside. What was on that camera changed everything: photographs taken in total darkness over several days, including what appears to be an SOS signal and one photo that had been deliberately deleted. Partial remains found months later were scattered miles from where their distress calls began and the official verdict of accidental death hasn't satisfied everyone. Was it a tragic accident, or did someone find them first?For more, follow The Final Hours wherever you listen to podcasts: https://pod.link/1872821250Join Crime House+ to binge a special limited series on Murder: True Crime Stories for America’s 250th: The Crimes That Built America.

What began as a series of tweets about sleep paralysis turned into one of the internet’s most famous live-haunting stories. A man named Adam begins posting about a dead child with a misshapen head who appears first in dreams, then in photographs, then seemingly inside his apartment. Heidi walks through the Dear David thread as it unfolded in real time, and explores why serialized horror told through social media can make fiction feel more intimate — and more believable — than almost anything else online.For more follow Twisted Tales wherever you listen to podcasts: https://pod.link/1839058226If you’re new here, don’t forget to follow Scams, Money, & Murder to never miss a case!
