Alabama might not be the first place that comes to mind when you think of UFO hotspots—but trust us, something strange is in the skies. In this episode of Spine-Chilling Chats, we explore reports of unexplained lights, mysterious flying objects, and eerie encounters deep in the heart of the South. From a laid-back uncle with a love for shrooms to a whole family who backed up his out-of-this-world story, we dig into the weird, the wild, and the possibly extraterrestrial. Why are so many people in rural areas reporting the same thing? What is it about these quiet southern towns that seem to attract high strangeness? And could there really be something out there? Tune in as we chat, question, and chill our way through one of the South’s creepiest conspiracies.👽

Guess who's back with a case and a cackle? That’s right—Manda’s returned from her mini researching hiatus and she’s bringing the creepy AND the kooky with the story of Nannie Doss, a.k.a. The Giggling Granny. Don’t let the nickname—or her love of romance magazines—fool you. Nannie had a deadly streak and a laugh that could curdle your coffee. This week, we dig into the bizarre life of a seemingly sweet southern grandma who left a trail of poisoned pies, suspicious smiles, and mysteriously dead husbands (yes, plural). Was she just unlucky in love... or working her way through marriage like it was a to-do list? Grab yourself a drink (just maybe don’t accept one from Nannie), and join us for a story that proves sometimes, the scariest people wear floral aprons and giggle while they kill.

In the chilling conclusion of our two-part deep dive into the harrowing tale of The Donner Party, we follow the final survivors as they’re rescued from the snowbound Sierra Nevada. After months of unimaginable suffering, starvation, and loss, those who endured must now face life beyond the tragedy. But the nightmare didn’t end with their rescue—guilt, trauma, and public scrutiny haunted them long after. And according to some, so did the ghosts of those who never made it out. Join us as we explore the aftermath, legacy, and lingering supernatural echoes of one of history’s most haunting survival stories.

Behind the door of 10 Rillington Place, evil lived quietly. In this unnerving episode of Spine-Chilling Chats, Ang paints us a picture of the life and murders of John Christie — a soft-spoken man whose monstrous crimes haunted post-war London. With a chilling calm, Christie lured victims under the pretense of help… only to become their executioner. How did his sinister acts go unnoticed for nearly a decade? And what dark secrets were hidden within the walls of his seemingly ordinary home? Step into the shadows with us as we unravel the horrifying truth and the tragic injustice that followed. Trigger warning: this episode does contain miscarriage, rape, murder and the murder of a child and fetus. Please take care while listening.

In the conclusion of our deep dive into The Scorecard Killer, Ang picks up where we left off—finishing the gruesome details of Randy Kraft’s known murders before diving into his shocking capture. When police pulled him over for what seemed like a routine traffic stop, they had no idea they were about to uncover a nightmare in progress. We walk through the chilling evidence found in Kraft’s car, the painstaking investigation that followed, and the trial that exposed the full horror of his crimes. With a cryptic list of victims, mountains of damning evidence, and a disturbing lack of remorse, Kraft's case became one of the most infamous in true crime history. Join us as we break down the final chapter of this terrifying story, from his conviction to where he is today. Trigger warning for sexual abuse, torture and murder including that of children. Please take care while listening.
