Hey! It’s your host, Hagen of Buried but Not Boring. This week, I fell down a research rabbit hole and rediscovered something I honestly forgot existed: the Dybbuk Box.

It’s a small, antique cabinet that’s said to hold a restless spirit from Jewish folklore—and everyone who’s owned it has regretted it. We’re talking nightmares, unexplained illnesses, shadow figures, and maybe even a curse on Post Malone (seriously).

In this episode, we dig into the terrifying story behind the box: how it was sold on eBay for $140, passed from owner to owner, caused chaos at a museum, and sparked a full-on paranormal panic. We’ll cover the folklore, the horror, and why cursed objects like this freak us out so much.

Hey! It’s your host, Hagen of Buried but Not Boring. In this episode of Buried but Not Boring, we dive into the chilling 1992 disappearance of the Springfield Three—Sherrill Levitt, her daughter Suzie Streeter, and friend Stacy McCall. Three women vanished from their home without a struggle, a sound, or a single clue.

We’ll unpack the timeline, the strange details left behind, the suspects who never faced charges, and the theories that still keep this case alive more than 30 years later.

Hey! It’s your host, Hagen—and in this episode of Buried but Not Boring, we’re flapping straight into the fog-shrouded forests of Point Pleasant, West Virginia, where a red-eyed cryptid has been giving locals the creeps since the 1960s. That’s right—we’re talking about Mothman. Half-man, half-mystery, and somehow always just out of focus.

From ominous bridge collapses to glowing eyes in the dark, I’m breaking down the spine-tingling sightings, the conspiracy theories, and the absolutely unhinged 2000s movie that somehow starred Richard Gere. Is Mothman a harbinger of doom? An alien scout? Or just your weird uncle with wings?

Also—quick update: Shaggy the podcast mascot thinks Mothman’s just misunderstood and possibly a fellow introvert with anxiety.

Hey! It’s your host, Hagen, and welcome back to Buried but Not Boring the podcast where we dig up the creepy, the criminal, and the downright bizarre.Today we’re heading to Paderborn, Germany, for a case that is as bizarre as it is heartbreaking. Frauke Liebs was a 21-year-old nursing student who disappeared after a night out in 2006. For five agonizing days, her loved ones received strange, cold, and out-of-character texts and calls… and then, nothing. Weeks later, her body was found. And to this day—no answers.

Who was behind the messages? Was Frauke being forced to send them? Why did the police seem to dismiss so many oddities in the case? And what kind of person does something like this and never gets caught?

This one’s got late-night creepiness, questionable police work, and a case that will absolutely leave you yelling "WHAT?!" at least three times. Minimum

Hey! It’s your host, Hagen, and welcome back to Buried but Not Boring the podcast where we dig up the creepy, the criminal, and the downright bizarre.

This week, we’re slicing into the weird world of lobotomies (pun absolutely intended) and wandering the haunted halls of the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum. From ice picks through the eye sockets to ghost stories in abandoned wings, this episode is serving brain trauma and paranormal drama. We’ll talk about Dr. Walter Freeman, the man who made lobotomies a drive-thru service, and why people ended up in this asylum for things like “imaginary female trouble.” Spoiler: it’s unhinged. Literally.

Hey! It's your host, Hagen. In this episode of Buried but Not Boring, I'm diving into one of the most terrifying unsolved crimes in American history. The 1982 Tylenol Murders. Seven people died after taking cyanide-laced capsules, and the mystery of who was behind it still haunts investigators today. From the shocking timeline to the nationwide panic and the lasting impact on drug safety, this case proves that sometimes the killer is hiding in plain sight, on the pharmacy shelf.

Hey! It's your host, Hagen. In this episode of Buried but Not Boring, I dive into the grim history and ghost stories of Illinois’ most infamous lockup. Riots, escapes, creepy EVPs, and ghosts who clearly didn’t get the “don’t touch” memo.

It’s prison history with a paranormal twist—and trust me, this one gets weird.

Hey, This is Buried but Not Boring. Hosted by Hagen. Most people take "till death do us part" pretty seriously — but Carl Tanzler took it way too literally. This week, we dig up the morbidly fascinating tale of a lovesick "doctor" who just couldn’t let go... even after his beloved was six feet under. From grave robbing to DIY corpse preservation (yes, it gets worse), this story is the ultimate cautionary tale of obsession, delusion, and what happens when love goes... stiff. Join me as I unwrap the case that proves some romances are better left buried.
