The Man who hated the World: The Story of Carl Panzram Part 1

For our one-year anniversary episode, we’re diving into one of the darkest stories we’ve ever told.

Carl Panzram wasn’t folklore—he was a violent, deeply damaged man whose crimes stretched across the country. During his time in the Pacific Northwest, he served a prison sentence, incited a riot, attempted an escape, and carried with him a rage that only grew more dangerous. His time here is a shadow in the region’s past—rarely talked about, but impossible to ignore.

1 year Celebration!!!

What started as a passion project between two friends has turned into something much bigger than we imagined. Over the last year, we’ve explored haunted lighthouses, unsolved murders, cryptids in the woods, shipwrecks, lost towns, and legends still echoing along the coast. We’ve released over 100 episodes—and every single one has been shaped by your curiosity, support, and shared love for this strange, haunted region.

Thank you for being with us. Whether you’ve been here from the beginning or just found us this week, we’re so grateful you’re part of this.

Here’s to one year—and everything still waiting to be uncovered.
