When someone famous dies, there are a lot of different emotions that a person can feel. We feel upset because their work and public persona often intertwine with our life experience and identity. We may feel a strong connection to them due to their work resonating with us or helping us through hard times. It also reminds us of our mortality.

When we hear about a famous person’s death, it usually is something that sticks with us for a few days as the information plays out on social media. But some cases are so horrible that they stick with us forever.

So get settled in, my spooky friends. You are about to hear the stories of individuals who were gone before their time. But be aware. Today we will be talking about domestic abuse, suicide and graphic deaths. Listener discretion is advised

People love treasure hunts for a variety of reasons. Some use it as a way to explore their surroundings, and others use it as a way to bond with friends or family. But let's be honest…the biggest reason is for a payday.

There is one alleged treasure that many know precisely where it is. For more than two centuries, treasure seekers have gone to a small island off the coast of the Canadian province of Nova Scotia in hopes of finding a treasure that is said to be everything from Marie Antoinette’s jewels to the treasures of the Knights Templar. But getting this treasure is another story itself.

So, get your shovels, my spooky friends. You are about to hear about a legendary hoard that people are dying to get.

In January of this year, I was invited to be a guest on the Family Plot podcast to talk about Ernest Hemingway. After we had recorded their episode, we all started to talk about various subjects, including cults. It was Family Plot who told me about a cult that existed near where I currently live and some of their dark deeds. I had to learn more, and that resulted in today’s episode.

So buckle up, my spooky friends. You are about to hear the tale of a man who believed he was a prophet with absolute power, but discovered how quickly that power can disappear. But before we start, it is time for a heads-up. Today, we will be talking about adult and child abuse along with torture. Listener discretion is advised.
