253 - Hammer Happy Serial Killer Peter Kürten, the "Vampire of Dusseldorf"

Exploring some super interesting and strange territory today. I might not be able to record any more podcasts because NOW MY BRAIN IS MELTED! In this episode, we explore the theoretical concept of the fourth dimension, see how it applies to the nature of our reality and our dreams, and explore how some think it proves the existence of the soul... and ghosts.

Today's Short Suck is all about John List.  With a bankruptcy looming, worried about the shame he'd face for no longer being able to provide his family with the life they'd grown accustomed to, and supposedly worried about their salvation as well, John makes some extreme and horrific choices to "save" their souls. Hope you enjoy! And have a great weekend!Watch the Suck on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Aia59A-hm5YFor Merch and everything else Bad Magic related, head to: https://www.badmagicproductions.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Today I share the real practice and history of the classic Catholic exorcism that so many of us have seen in films like 1973's The Exorcist and 2023's The Pope's Exorcist. How does an exorcism actually work? Who qualifies? What is the official ritual? What is the history of exorcisms? All this and more - including an exploration of the real life exorcism that inspired the 1973 movie -  in this demon-infested episode.  The power of Christ compels you!  (to listen to this week's episode) Watch the Suck on YouTube: https://youtu.be/KcRC0dcafDYMerch and more: www.badmagicproductions.com ÅTimesuck Discord! https://discord.gg/tqzH89vWant to join the Cult of the Curious Private Facebook Group?

He's also the only US serial killer ever to almost be released from prison AFTER confessing to 13 murders in a plea deal.

Between 1998 and 2006, at least 48 elderly women were strangled to death in Mexico City. These murders would lead to Mexico's first ever investigation into an active serial killer. The task force was certain that a man was responsible for the killings, and were shocked to realize the killer was a middle-aged mother of four.  A wannabe luchadora who told friends she once wrestled under the name of the Lady of Silence. Watch the Suck on YouTube: https://youtu.be/HJtJRTu_ILIMerch: https://www.badmagicmerch.comTimesuck Discord! https://discord.gg/tqzH89vWant to join the Cult of the Curious Private Facebook Group?

I've wanted to dig into this story for a couple of years now. Aaron seemed to have EVERYTHING going for him. And he threw it all away through committing the most confusing, impulsive acts of violence. How much did the severe case of CTE football gave him lead to the murder (and probably multiple murders) he committed? Congrats to the Suck Ranger, Tyler Sea, and please wish him luck on the next chapter of his life. He's a great dude and we will miss having him around! Watch the Suck on YouTube: https://youtu.be/4D-opZ7MK4QMerch: https://www.badmagicmerch.comTimesuck Discord! https://discord.gg/tqzH89vThanks to our Patreon supporters for allowing us to donate $12,900 to truckersagainsttrafficking.org and another $1,440 to our scholarship fund! Thanks to Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio for the first soundbed, and "CESARE RIDES AGAIN" by WombatNoisesAudio for the second soundbed. Want to join the Cult of the Curious Private Facebook Group?
