Mystery 10: Mystic Murders
Friday Apr 20, 2018
Friday Apr 20, 2018
We continue our week of supernatural true crime stories with the murder of an American mystic and a clairvoyant connection from England.
Jonatan's tale is of the 1929 St. Aubin Street Massacre. Was it someone who believed they'd been conned by Benny Evangelist, a follower who lost their faith or an opportunistic killing?
Ana tells the infamous story of the Red Barn murder. In 1826, 25-year-old Maria disappears and her step-mother dreams of a gruesome end which leads to a shocking discovery. Did Maria connect with her step-mother from beyond the grave?
And there's a short story about a ghostly car crash.

10: Clairvoyant Connections
Tuesday Apr 17, 2018
Tuesday Apr 17, 2018
It's the beginning of a new week and we're heading down a different path in search of crimes solved by psychics.
Jonatan shares the story of Terry Dewayne Smith Jr, an 11-year-old who went missing in 2013. When police can't find clues, Pam Ragland, local psychic, volunteers to help. Does her vision add anything to the case? Ana talks about a case involving a tarot reading, a murdered medium and a tip that's not taken seriously enough. In the end this case really couldn't have been solved without this clairvoyant. Full disclosure: this episode taught us we are skeptics.
We round off the episode with a Mystic Ball cocktail- creamy and fruity with a tang.

Jonatan revisits the murder of Lilly Lindeström aka the Atlas Vampire Murder of Stockholm, Sweden. You may think you know this infamous case but with a native Swede we're able to dispell the myths and share some of the original reporting before sensationalism took over.
Ana retells the tale of Corryn Rayney, an Australian mother of two, who was found murdered and buried in a public park in Perth, Australia. For many, including the police, it seemed like there was an obvious culprit but the case remains unsolved.
