This case couldn’t be more fitting for our Halloween special. It really has it all, and probably not in a good way. We are discussing the tragic true  case of Leonarda Ciancuilli. Born out of hate, and a victim of extreme trauma herself-Leonarda’s life was full of pain and tragedy and as a result she becomes obsessed with various forms of the occult, Wicca and other alternative spiritual practices and the outcome is shocking.  The Curse: A Shocking True Story of Superstition, Human Sacrifice and Cannibalism (Ryan Green's True Crime) - Kindle edition by Green, Ryan.

In honor of Halloween, we wanted to bring you a good old fashioned spooky case…a case in which a series of well known horror movies stemmed from in 1979, into the 1980s, ‘90s, and STILL into the 2000s.  If you are a scary/paranormal movie buff, you of course know of Amityville. This week we discuss the very horrific TRUE crime story involving the murder of the Defoe family in November of 1974.  Music By: Jonas Bjornstad Cover Art By: Charnell
