This viral story took the internet by storm. A lone man haunted and paralyzed by the ghost of a small boy. Did this escalate into a full-on demonic possession or were we all the victims - haunted by an attention-hungry internet charlatan?

We were so fortunate to sit down with Tybee Diskin from the excellent podcast Chasing Immortality! After we covered the wild world of Transhumanism, we wanted to get Tybee’s insights as she covered FM-2030 on her past season. We also talk about the ethics of transhumanism, how we’re closer to the singularity than we even realize, and Tybee’s hilarious run-in with Google voice assistant. Next season, Chasing Immortality will cover Ray Kurzweil, and we can’t wait to chat with Tybee again once that episode is released. Until then, check out Chasing Immortality wherever you get your podcasts, and be sure to check out her in-depth episode on FM-2030, available now. Thanks again to Tybee for joining us, and we hope you all enjoy our conversation!

Will technology enable us to outrun our impending demise? And will it happen sooner rather than later?

You better watch out, you better not cry, you better hold your hands up high because Santa has a gun and is robbing the place. In 1927, a Texas town was shaken up at Christmas when St. Nick pulled a heist on the local bank. A manhunt ensued, and in true Texas fashion, the citizens ensured some form of justice was finally served, no matter the cost.  Please consider supporting the companies that support us! -Join the membership today at curateur.com and use code CREEPY for an additional 20% off -Visit www.thrivecausemetics.com/sinisterhood for 15% off your first order -Helix is offering up to $200 off all mattress orders AND two free pillows for our listeners at Helixsleep.com/creepy -Get 20% off your first order at www.bombas.com/creepy -Try Sundance Now free for 30 days by going to SundanceNow.com and using promo code creepy -Go to StoryWorth.com/CREEPY and save $10 on your first purchase -Charlotte's Web - Go to charlottesweb.com and use code CREEPY at checkout to save 15% on your order.
