This week’s episode is, once again, centered around men being absolute nightmares — both living and deceased. First, we dive into the story of Rodney Alcala, the “Game Show Killer,” who somehow made it onto national television despite radiating every red flag imaginable. A terrifying reminder that confidence truly carries some men way too far.

Then in Part 2, we cover the San Pedro Poltergeist Case, where a woman is still tormented by a persistent male entity that simply refuses to leave her alone. Because apparently being ignored by women wasn’t enough for this man even after death. From unsettling encounters to full paranormal chaos, the story feels less like a haunting and more like spiritual harassment.

So whether it’s serial killers on dating shows or ghosts with boundary issues, this episode is really just another case study on men disturbing women’s peace in every dimension possible.

Remember the things you were afraid of as a kid? Under the bed, the closet, etc? Okay, truthfully, we're still afraid of those things, but in todays Top 5 we attempt to go down nostaglia lane and remember some of the childhood fears we had that kinda seem silly as an adult. Do you have any you wanna share with us?! OR have an idea for our next top 5? Email us at igsttystories@gmail.com!

This week, we’re revisiting two stories that have stuck with us long after we first covered them.

Colleen brings back Tayler’s telling of Resurrection Mary, the infamous Chicago ghost legend known for eerie sightings, unexplained disappearances, and a story that continues to haunt decades later.

Then Tayler revisits Colleen’s deep dive into Mark Twitchell, the so-called “Dexter Killer,” whose calculated crimes and disturbing obsession with the fictional series made this one of the most unsettling cases we’ve covered.

Some stories don’t fade with time—and these are two we couldn’t leave behind.

This week on IGSTTY, Tayler takes us inside the terrifying San Pedro Poltergeist—a case centered around a woman named Jackie, whose home became the site of relentless, unexplained activity. We’re talking objects moving on their own, violent disturbances, and a presence that refused to stay quiet. Is it a true poltergeist… or something even more unsettling?

Then Colleen dives into the chilling and infuriating story of the John du Pont and the Foxcatcher murder—the shocking killing of Olympic gold medalist Dave Schultz. What started as an opportunity for elite training at Foxcatcher Farm spiraled into paranoia, control, and ultimately, tragedy. It’s a case of wealth, power, and a man who never should have been allowed to go unchecked.

From a house that may not have been empty… to a man who was unraveling in plain sight—this episode is unsettling in all the ways that matter.

Spotted: one haunted furnace, one anonymous letter writer, and a room full of people who definitely should not trust their mail. XOXO, XGSTY Pod 👀💌👻

Hey Upper East Siders… or should we say, Bottle Shop 48, your favorite chaos agents took the stage for a special live show, and let’s just say the gossip was deadly.

Tayler brings the heat with the haunted horrors of Sloss Furnaces, where tragic deaths, ghost sightings, and the terrifying legend of Slag prove some places never let the past stay buried.

Then Colleen delivers the ultimate blind item: the Circleville Letter Writer, the anonymous menace who turned a quiet Ohio town into a paranoia-fueled nightmare of threatening letters, dangerous traps, and small-town secrets.

Ghost stories, true crime, live laughs, and enough suspicious behavior to keep everyone on the suspect list… sounds like our kind of night.

You know you love us.

This week, we’re heading deep into two of the creepiest corners of North American mystery.

Colleen takes us to the shores of the Salish Sea, where severed feet have been washing up for years in one of the Pacific Northwest’s strangest and most unsettling unsolved phenomena. From the first sneaker-clad foot on the beach to the wild theories involving plane crashes, missing persons, suicides, and even serial killer whispers, this story only gets weirder the deeper we go.

Then Tayler takes us deep into the Appalachian Mountains—where the rules aren’t written, but they’re always followed.

From the eerie legend of the Flatwoods Monster to the haunting presence of the Wampus Cat, this episode dives into the things that lurk in the woods… and the ones you don’t see coming. We also explore the unspoken rules of Appalachia—why you should never whistle at night, never answer when something calls your name, and never ignore footsteps behind you when no one’s there.

From the haunted shores of the PNW to the dark heart of the Appalachian mountains, this episode is full of mystery, paranoia, and the exact kind of nightmare fuel we live for. 🌲👣⛰️

This week’s episode takes a hard left from horrifying true crime into straight-up Reddit nightmare fuel.

Colleen is covering the twisted and deeply disturbing case of Franklin Delano Floyd — a story filled with stolen identities, abuse, kidnapping, murder, and one of the most chilling webs of deception we’ve ever talked about. It’s one of those cases that somehow gets darker every time you think you’ve reached the bottom.

Then Tayler is taking us into the eerie world of The Three Kings Ritual, the infamous Reddit-born paranormal game that promises contact with another realm… if you’re brave enough to play by the rules. Mirrors, candles, 3:30 AM, and a whole lot of “absolutely not.” Whether it’s a psychological experiment, creepypasta, or something much stranger, this one is pure late-night nightmare material.

From real monsters to ritual horror, this episode is creepy from start to finish.

🎙️ True crime, paranormal, and internet legends collide in this one — so grab your headphones, lock your doors, and let’s get into it.

This week, we’re bringing you a little witchcraft, a little chaos, and a whole lot of “what the actual hell?”

Colleen kicks things off with the strange and still-unsolved story of who put Bella in the Wych Elm—a haunting post-war mystery involving graffiti, a hidden skeleton, and questions that have somehow refused to die.

Then Tayler takes us into one of the most bizarre paranormal cases ever recorded: the Rosenheim Poltergeist. We’re talking exploding lightbulbs, swinging office equipment, and activity so intense it had engineers, physicists, and parapsychologists all scratching their heads.

Is it supernatural? Is it psychological? Is someone—or something—just being wildly productive with their haunting schedule?

Either way… we’ve got thoughts.

🎙️ Tune in for eerie mysteries, chaotic energy, and just enough skepticism to keep things interesting.
