In February of 2013 guests of the cecil hotel in downtown los angeles complained that their rooms tap water had a strange smell, had low pressure, and at times would come out of the facet black. While some guests thought this was just another charm of being in downtown los angeles, enough people complained that maintenance employee Santiago Lopez went up to the roof to check on the hotels water supply. He climbed the ladder to the main water tank and when he reached the top and looked inside he found the source of the problem. Inside was the body of elisa lam floating face up approximately 12 inch from the top of the tank. Although she was already reported missing, police did not search the water tanks on the roof. And while Elisa herself had been found her discovery only raised more questions, how did she get to the roof? Why did she go to the roof? Was she the victim of foul play? And what was with that bizarre footage with her on the elevator? Well we are going to see what answers we may be able to come up

One of the nation's most notorious serial killers, Jeffrey Dahmer was born and raised in Bath Township, Ohio, a middle-class suburb of Akron. Dahmer had a job and a decent family. He seemed as normal as normal could be. That was Dahmer’s home was searched after a young man fled his apartment and flagged down a police car. An investigation revealed that the apartment contained the remains of 11 victims. The bodies had been dismembered, and Dahmer confessed that he not only had cooked and eaten some of the remains, but that he also tried to change several of his victims into mindless zombie sex slaves. Asked why he committed such heinous acts, Dahmer told police that he killed because he was "lonely" and did not want his victims to leave him. Is that really why he killed, mutilated and ate many of his victims? What brings a man to a mental place, where he no longer sees others as people and perceives them more as things, to do with however he sees fit? Stay tuned to find out as we once again dive deep into the

Look anywhere in our society today and you can see these mechanical characters in all forms of media. From books and podcasts to TV shows and Movies. Shoot there is even a very famous DC comics superhero with that very name. But what really is a cyborg? The term is short for "cybernetic organism", which is a being with both organic and biomechatronic body parts. The term was coined in 1960 by Manfred Clynes and Nathan S. Kline. But are the fictional characters we have today exactly what these two men were dreaming of when they created the term? Would they be proud of the cyborgs we have created with our imaginations and how far are we from taking our imaginations and turning it into reality?

The Holocaust is still recognized almost universally as the greatest evil this world has ever witnessed. During this period between 1933 and 1945 millions of Slavs and Asians were murdered, as well as 200,000 Gypsies and members of various other groups. Thousands of people, including Germans of African decent, were forcibly sterilized. But It culminated in what the Nazis called the 'Final Solution of the Jewish Question in Europe', in which six million Jews were murdered. The Jews figured in Nazi ideology as the archenemy of the 'Aryan race', and were targeted not merely for terror and repression but for complete extinction.

The journalists of the time loved selling their romanticized and exaggerated tales of the Wild West. They also love writing about the legendary heists of a certain young gun slinger and his gang of outlaws. Jesse James was a dangerous young man who was quickly reimagined as being the modern day Robin Hood. He robbed from the rich and was kind to the poor. But how much of this is true?

Like last year... this holiday tail is going to have a more supernatural element to it. And like I said last year... It’s my way of paying homage to that holiday favorite hymn that sings about scary ghost stories... and tails of the glories of Christmases long, long ago. I’ve got to say... there is no glory to be had in today’s episode but there will be a haunting tail. If you’ve listened to previous episodes then you know that dolls unnerve me. Their cold glass eyes watching you no matter where you stand in the room. To many dolls are creepy and many people believe that Robert is the worst doll of them all. The reason for this is because some say Robert is truly haunted. He and his curse have been blamed for many things including job loss and divorce to more dangerous mishaps like car accidents and broken bones. He might have even killed a person, and due to these facts the little monster may have been the inspiration for Chucky from the Child’s Play franchise. Are evil spirits to blame for all this?

“Mom, this house is evil. We need to leave here right away!” This is not something you want to hear your kids tell you after entering a new house for the first time that you just put money down on. Yet that is exactly what Carmen's son Philip told her only 2 hours after being in their house on 208 Meridan Avenue in Southington, Connecticut. This location was going to be the answer to many of the families problems. Little did they know that this dream home was going to turn into a house of nightmares very quickly. From disembodied voices and shadowy figures to demons and possession, lets take a look at one of Connecticut's darkest tales. With it being the month of October I thought it would be fun to do a special edition episode which I have dubbed “A Yesteryears Horror”. For this special edition episode what better to sink our teeth into then a haunted house. So join us as we look through the audio window into the most terrifying moments of a families life as we dig deep into the real haunting in Connecticut.

The ‘Mostro di Firenze’, is literally translated to the Monster of Florence, the name given to the person responsible for the death of at least 14 people near Florence between 1968 and 1985. The Monster of Florence has intrigued investigators, psychologists, and criminologists for decades because it is the only crime case of its type in the history of criminology. The case is considered one of criminology's most baffling mysteries putting it right up there with the Jack the Ripper case. So with an investigation spanning over 40 years it is going to be easy to make a cerebral feast out of a story that is not only filled with mystery… but it also has a dash of romance, drama, and a whole lot of horror. It doesn’t matter if you are out on a date, looking for an excuse to get out of a bad date, or out for a late night drive… Its time to feed your mind… its time for BRAIN BITEZ.

Known in history as a trailblazing female journalist, Nellie Bly gets an assignment in 1887 to go undercover and spend ten days in a mad-house and report her findings. Once Nellie is behind the walls of hell… known as the Blackwell’s Island Asylum, she discovers the demons within and that absolutely nothing is being done to help anyone inside. The biggest surprise is just how easy and quickly women were being admitted. Reading about Nellie's life and time in the asylum, you can’t help but wonder if this is a piece of fiction. You’ll also be surprised to discover how real and morbid Nellie’s time in this institution truly is.

Shortly before noon on August 4, 1892, the body of Andrew Borden, a prosperous businessman, was found in the parlor of his Fall River, Massachusetts, home. As neighbors, police and doctors arrived at the scene, the body of Abby Borden, his wife, was discovered in an upstairs bedroom. A week later, Andrew’s younger daughter, Lizzie, was arrested for the double murder. In an era when women were considered the “weaker” sex and female murderers were nearly unheard of, the trial—and subsequent acquittal—of Lizzie Borden made her a media sensation. Officially, the case remains unsolved, but Lizzie Borden may very well have taken an ax and ended her parents’ lives on that sweltering summer day. It doesn’t matter if you are getting work done around the house, pretending to get work done at the office, or just wanting to take a break from some hard studying… Its time to feed your mind. Its time for Brain Bitez. Quote: “I did not see his face, because he was all covered with blood.” - a quote from Lizzie Andrew Borden

To start off the new year with some inspiration lets look at a man who lacked connections, charisma, good looks, a formal education, and yet became one of the greatest men in American history. Famously born in a one-room cabin to uneducated farmer parents, Abraham Lincoln’s rise to the Presidency has long been the stuff of legend. Lincoln was almost entirely self-educated; he received only 18 months of formal schooling. He offset this disadvantage by voraciously consuming any book he could get his hands on. At age 22, Lincoln packed his meager belongings and paddled out on his own. He taught himself the law and became a successful attorney and state legislator in Illinois. He eventually wins the presidency and the rest is history. Abraham “Balls of Steel” Lincoln went on to guide America through her darkest and stormiest hour. It doesn’t matter if your working on your new years resolutions, working out at the gym, or skipping out on that morning jog. It’s time to feed your mind. It’s time for Brain Bitez. Quo
