Gef The Talking Mongoose

This week we head to the Isle of Man 🇮🇲 to take on the tale of a talking mongoose named “Gef.” Naturally, you’d assume, that this is nothing but an urban legend, etc…..but once we dug a little deeper, the story becomes more and more unnerving. Dare I even say, believable?!! Join us this week as we interrogate Gef and get to the bottom of this, once and for all.

Dorángel Vargas aka “The People Eater”

The BTC world tour continues next week as we make our first trip to Venezuela to take on the disturbing case of Dorángel Vargas aka “The People Eater.” Not only was he a serial killer, but he was a cannibal on top of that. His cannibalistic ways did not stop once he was imprisoned. It seems Vargas killed and cooked up three more of his fellow inmates and served them to other prisoners.  Listener discretion is advised.

Happy New Year!
This week we head to Nigeria to discuss one of the most incredible, and improbable, survival stories of all time. In 2013, a tugboat, with a crew of 12, capsized off the coast of Nigeria. As it sank to the bottom of the Atlantic, it landed upside down on the sea floor. It seems that that’s what saved Harrison Okene’s life. As he was able to find an small air pocket in the ship. For nearly three days, Harrison survived in the frigid waters, in complete darkness. That was until a recovery crew showed up. The remarkable footage was all caught on video. Last episode of 2022 This is one you won’t soon forget.

The Haunted John Copcutt Mansion

This week we travel to Yonkers, NY to take a look at the haunted John Copcutt Mansion. Copcutt, a wealthy industrialist, constructed the mansion was in 1854. After his death, the mansion was purchased by St. Casimir's Church. It was soon converted into a convent, and then later a rectory. From the onset on construction, the locals seem put off by some bizarre paranormal force. However, when the church took over, things only intensified.

We've finally made it to 100 episodes! For the special event we take a look back at one of our earlier episodes, "The Watcher." With the recent success of the new series by the same name, we're going to be comparing the series to the real life events!
For those not familiar with the story, here is our original synopsis: In 2014, a New Jersey family purchased their dream home. Unfortunately, it turned into the stuff of nightmares. As soon as they moved in, they began receiving bizarre letters. Letters that revealed that they were indeed being watched. Through time, the letters became more ominous. So much so that the family were forced to sell their home at a nearly $500k loss. The perpetrator still remains unknown to this day. This is a creepy one!
