From 1894 until 1997, the United States and Canada ran a schooling system for Native Americans that equated to systemic genocide- children, some as young as newborns, were taken from their families and forced to live in boarding schools with the intent of assimilating them into Christian society. Not allowed to engage in their native languages or religious practices, these children endured horrific physical and mental abuse as they were stripped of their culture, many times culminating in death via disease, abuse, or su***de. Over a quarter million native children in the U.S and Canada were forced into these schools, with thousands upon thousands never returning home, as evidenced by the discovery of unmarked mass gravesites at many of the schools, with more being found every month.

For 84 years, there existed a small, dark stain in the heart of America. A place where travelers of the night passing through a small town in Ohio were likely to be surrounded by rapists, drug dealers, murderers and s*x traffickers and not realize it. Despised by some, loved by others who knew it was a place where anything goes, it's notoriety reached it's peak in 1991 when a triple homicide occurred, the victims being the couple that owned the property along with their six-year-old daughter, in what appeared to be a professional hit. The case was never solved, and it, along with the very acknowledgement of the existence of the place has been swept under the rug by locals, and it was finally demolished in 2021. This is the legend of Steve's Motel.

This week, we each choose what we believe to be the most haunted place in America, and discuss our reasons why. A quaint southern town known for having more ghostly inhabitants than live ones, a mental health facility with a hellish reputation, and a house in Kansas with a haunting so incredible it was captured multiple times on network television. So grab your Halloween candy, and enjoy!

At the base of the tallest mountain in Japan, there is a place where hundreds of people a year go to purposefully never return from. Curious visitors to the area may encounter corpses, curses left behind by the dead, or sometimes, hear screams from deep within the trees. Though there is some debate over whether or not Aokigahara is haunted in the traditional sense of the word, there is no doubt that there exists a dark allure that compels people to enter the forest and end their lives.
- Warning: This episode contains discussion about su***de and Japanese su***de culture. If you are feeling suicidal or experiencing extreme depression, *please* reach out to someone for help. The National Su***de Prevention lifeline is available 24/7 in North America at 800-273-8255. For those abroad, below is a link to the various su***de lifelines available in different countries.

Tonight, we discuss the case everyone is talking about- the disappearance and death of Gabby Petito, while traveling cross-country with her boyfriend, Brian Laundrie. This case has a series of oddities and downright bizarre coincidences, including a double murder that occurred in an area of Utah that Gabby and Brian happened to be in at the same time. At the time of this recording, Brian Laundrie's whereabouts were unknown, and Gabby's remains had not been yet confirmed. Do our theories make any sense? Listen and decide.

On April 1st 2014, two young students from the Netherlands, Kris Kremmers and Lisanne Froon, disappeared while hiking the forests during their trip to Boquete, Panama. Despite an extensive search and investigation by both Panama and Dutch authorities over 10 days, no traces of the two girls were found. Then, 10 weeks later, a backpack containing items belonging to the two missing girls mysteriously appeared on a riverbank in a small neighboring village. Partial remains of the girls were also discovered in the area. After investigating the items in the backpack, which included a digital camera that contained 90 photos taken 7 days after the disappearance, all taken in a three-hour span (One of the photos in the sequence had been deleted), the "official" explanation by the local authorities was death by misfortune, as tourists perishing after being lost in the jungle is not all that uncommon... however, Boquete has a dark history and present and it may lead to the answer of the question of what *really* happened to two women in the jungles of Panama. We sink our teeth into that dark history, and find some very interesting facts that lead to even more interesting theories.

In 1971 a book was published, titled "The Anarchist's Cookbook", which contained instructions for the creation of explosive devices, drugs, and anything that could be used to fight the government during the counterculture era. The book came under review by federal authorities, who determined that it was mostly useless and was protected by the 1st amendment, and the book fell out of publication 20 years later. But thanks to magic of the internet, the book saw a resurgence in the 90's via text files being passed around on BBS message boards, with sections added for hacking, phreaking, burglary, and general criminal activities. This became known as the "Jolly Roger's Cookbook", as many of the new sections were written by someone named "The Jolly Roger". Having dozens of different versions and revisions, it thus began it's urban legend as the internet's guide to terrorism in a pre-9/11 world. How does it hold up today? Is it valuable information, or just general ridiculousness? We go through parts of (one of the versions of) the cookbook, and what we determine may surprise you.

In 2012, international student from Wuhan, Jun Lin was drugged, murdered and dismembered in an apartment in Toronto. The crime was captured on video in gruesome detail and uploaded to the internet. This very event was foretold by a group of internet sleuths who had been tracking the perpetrator, Luka Magnotta, for over a year due to videos he had previously posted on Facebook of him killing kittens. An international manhunt was launched, and the murderer was caught thanks to the narcissism that defined his personality. Join us as we discuss the bizarre evolution of a criminal.

On January 12th, 2003, at 4am, 21 year-old Brandon Vedas logged into an IRC channel consisting of users from the online recreational drug community shroomery.org, where he was known as "Ripper". He made the announcement, "I got a grip of drugs", and invited the members of the chat channel to view his we**am while he partook. Over the course of the next hour, viewers watched as Vedas consumed psilocybin mushrooms, 8mg of clonazepam, Four 80mg bottles of Methadone, 2 Vicodin pills, 110mg of Inderal, and 120mg of temazepam.
Initially, the other members of the chat encouraged Vedas to continue taking drugs, but soon their enthusiasm turned to concern as Vedas' condition began to deteriorate before their eyes. Vedas assured everyone he was fine and this was normal for him, stating, "this is usual weekend behaviour" (sic) and, "u all said I was lying". Eventually, Vedas himself became concerned, and gave his cell phone number to the members of the chat, and informed them to call it if something went wrong. He also gave them the license plate number of his car to give the police should they need to find him.
As Vedas began drifting in and out of consciousness on camera, members of the chat discussed what to do- some called him on his phone in efforts to keep him awake, another contacted poison control and 911, who informed them that they could not locate Vedas via his cellular number. Members of the chat did not know Vedas' real name, only that he lived in Phoenix.
Realizing the eventual outcome of the situation, the members of the chat, fearing possible legal or criminal implication, began to exit the chat, with one user declaring, "Damn, this is a hard call, ya'll make it, good night" before leaving the chat. By this time, Brandon Vedas was dead of an overdose, less than two hours after he began chatting. The last coherent thing he typed, was, "I told u I was hardcore".
The chatlogs from the IRC session are below- an interesting read.
