Oshawa, Ontario, a quiet city along the shoreline of Lake Ontario. The kind of place where people know each other. Where neighborhoods feel familiar. Where nothing this horrific is supposed to happen. On the morning of December 29th, 2017, plumbers responded to what they thought was just another clogged pipe inside an apartment on McMillan Drive. What they found instead would unravel one of the most disturbing murder investigations in the Durham Region’s history. Inside that apartment, police would uncover evidence that connected not just one missing young woman but two. Who disappeared nearly a decade apart. Rori Hache was 18 years old when she disappeared in 2017. Kandis Fitzpatrick was just 19 when she vanished back in 2008. For years, one of those cases sat in the shadows, unanswered. Until plumbing, of all things, brought everything to the surface. At the center of it all: Adam Strong. A man described by some as generous and quiet and by others as violent and sexually sadistic. A man who, during interrogation, stayed eerily calm. Curious about the evidence. Interested in the case being built against him. In this episode, we’re talking about the investigation, the interrogations that stretched for hours, the forensic discoveries inside a cluttered apartment, and the courtroom battle that followed. This story reminds us that evil is everywhere and that the truth will always find its way out.

Built in 1773 in the heart of Stockbridge, Massachusetts, the Red Lion Inn began its life as a colonial tavern, serving travelers for nearly a century. When the Plumb family purchased the property, they didn’t just preserve it they transformed it. Mrs. Plumb personally filled the halls with colonial furniture, china, and artwork, curating an atmosphere that still lingers today inside the Inn. Unfortunately, in 1896, a devastating fire destroyed the original structure. Two world wars, Prohibition, and the Great Depression all threatened the future of the Inn. And yet it endured. Over the centuries, presidents, poets, and celebrities have all checked in, helping build its legendary reputation. Visitors and staff have long reported ghostly apparitions, sudden cold spots, and the unmistakable feeling of an unseen presence drifting through the historic corridors. And here’s where it gets even stranger. This isn’t the only Red Lion Inn with paranormal claims. Across England in places like Avebury, Salisbury, and Gloucester, you’ll find other locations bearing a similar name such as Red Lion Hotel or Red Lion Square, many with their own paranormal experiences attached. So is it coincidence? Or is there something about the name “Red Lion” itself that seems to attract the paranormal?

A mother and father are supposed to be a child’s first love, their safest place. But in some homes, the people meant to protect you are the ones you have to survive. Unfortunately, for the Turpin children, that was their reality. David Turpin and Louise Turpin presented themselves as devoted parents, guided by their Pentecostal faith and committed to raising a large family. Over nearly three decades, they had 13 children. From the outside, there were few signs of what was really happening inside their home. But behind closed doors, those children endured years of severe physical, emotional, and psychological abuse. Isolation. Control. Fear. And a reality that most of us can barely comprehend. But one day, everything changed. After years of unimaginable abuse, a 17-year-old girl made a decision that would alter all of their lives. She escaped. With very little understanding of the world outside and clutching a phone, she called for help. That single act of courage led authorities to the home and to the rescue of all 13 siblings. But rescue was only the beginning. Because what came next wasn’t the immediate safety, stability, and healing you’d hope for. After being removed from the Turpin house, some of the children would face new challenges and, in some cases, another kind of hardship altogether. This story reminds us that evil is everywhere, but also so is hope.

In late 1980 and early 1981, the Northwest region of the United States was under a cloak of terror. It seemingly all began in October 1980 when a young woman named Cherie Ayers was found murdered in her Portland bedroom. No forced entry, No clear suspect. Weeks later, on Thanksgiving night, a young woman and her boyfriend are discovered murdered and bound with athletic tape. The only thing missing from the home was a .32 caliber silver revolver. Then the 911 calls began. In Seattle, a man with a silver revolver and athletic tape across the bridge of his nose was committing robberies up and down Interstate 5. Twenty-four attacks in just weeks. The media dubbed him the I-5 Bandit. In January 1981, another young woman, Shari Hull was bound, shot, and left for dead in Salem. Her friend survived the attack, giving the same description as the I-5 Bandit. Same build. Same gun. Same tape. Days later, in California, a nurse and her teenage daughter are found murdered in their home just off I-5. Ballistics confirm it’s the same .32 caliber weapon. 500 miles of highway. 3 states. And at the center of it all. One killer. In this episode, we talk about the victims of this predator and how dozens of lives were shattered along this corridor of fear.

Harrisonburg, Virginia is known as a quiet Shenandoah Valley college town framed by the Blue Ridge Mountains, home to James Madison University, a place often described as safe, close-knit, and steady. But in late 2021, that sense of steadiness was shaken. Behind an unassuming shopping center on Evelyn Byrd Avenue, human remains were discovered concealed, discarded, and at first unidentified. What followed was the uncovering of a pattern: women disappearing. At least four women across Virginia from Harrisonburg to Fairfax County, lost their lives. They were not all found in the same place. Their remains were discovered in different jurisdictions, in separate communities, at different times a pattern that might not have immediately appeared connected. In Harrisonburg, security cameras of a Howard Johnson Hotel captured critical footage images that helped investigators identify and track a suspect before more lives were lost. The man later charged would be labeled the “Shopping Cart Killer.” This story reminds us that evil is everywhere, and the worst people can pretend to be something else entirely.

What if I told you that one of the deadliest outbreaks in history didn’t spread through sickness, but through movement? In the summer of 1518, in Strasbourg, the residents experienced an outbreak that had happened only in minor cases before. A woman stepped into the street and started dancing. No music. No celebration. And she didn’t stop for days, not eating or sleeping. After just a week, dozens of people had joined her. But this dancing wasn’t out of joy it was agony. Within a month, hundreds were convulsing, twisting, leaping uncontrollably through the streets. They danced until their feet bled, or until they collapsed. Some danced until dying from exhaustion, heart failure, or strokes. Theories around what could have caused this have been debated for centuries. Some blame poisoning, other historians point to mass psychogenic illness, collective hysteria fueled by starvation, disease, religious terror, and constant death. Eventually, the dancing stopped as suddenly as it began with no explanation. And to this day, we don’t really know why hundreds of people danced themselves to death in 1518. But this much is clear: the mind can override the body and history doesn’t always go along with logic.

In the woods of Tennessee, there’s a circle you’re not supposed to step inside. Locals call it the Witches Circle, a ring of stone which sits somewhere outside Kingston, TN although the specific location is not known. Although not much information is confirmed, legend tells of a coven turned to stone for practicing their craft. People have seen dark figures roaming the forests and even heard whispers coming from the stones themselves. The location is said to be a possible portal to the underworld, but where? This not the only legend told in the state of Tennessee. Just miles away in what is now called Adams, TN, in the early 1800s, one family was terrorized by something unseen. An entity that scratched. Choked. And claimed it was a witch. The Bell family endured years of torment from an entity that would take the form of a beast with glowing red eyes as well as attack one of the family’s daughters physically. Only after the death of the patriarch John Bell did the occurrences cease. Today, locals still claim to see the figure with the glowing red eyes wandering the old Bell farm property. Others have claimed to encounter the witch in the network of caves underneath Adams. Join us as we discuss these two legends which lie in the rolling hills of Tennessee.

Nature promises peace. Tranquility. A kind of freedom so many of us chase when life feels loud. For Sandra Johnson Hughes, known as Sandy, that pull toward the outdoors wasn’t an escape. It was a way of life. Sandy was free-spirited, constantly on the move, drawn to wild places and wide-open spaces. In early 2020, she relocated from Maui to California, just as the world was beginning to shut down. When COVID-19 lockdowns took hold and people retreated indoors, Sandy did the opposite. She headed into the Sierra National Forest on a solo camping trip, something she’d done before. Sandy was an experienced outdoorswoman, a self-described survivalist. Steep terrain, isolation, wildlife, none of it scared her. But just days after she set out in late June of 2020, her campsite was discovered in complete disarray. Her belongings were there. Sandy was not. Nearly six years later, there are still no answers. Some hikers and hunters claim they’ve seen her deep in the forest. Others believe she never made it out, some even say her spirit still lingers in the mountains. Yet Sandy’s family holds onto hope that she survived… that she’s still out there. So what really happened to Sandra Hughes in Madera County? In this episode, we dig into the timeline, the theories, and the haunting questions that remain unanswered. Because Sandy’s story isn’t over yet.

Montreal, Canada in 2012 was full of civil unrest. Between college protests and corrupt government officials, the city was full of tension. Among its residents was Jun Lin, a Chinese international student who came from China to attend college and brighten his future. At 33 years old, he was studying computer engineering while working at a corner store to help with the ever rising tuition fees. A great student, generous, kind and reliable, Jun Lin was someone you could count on to put a smile on your face per his family and friends. Unfortunately, Jun Lin disappeared on May 24, 2012. The same day he was reported missing to the police on May 29, several more disturbing calls had come into the station of Montreal and to Ottawa police. Body parts found in a suitcase and packages mailed to Canadian pollical party offices. An autopsy confirmed all the body parts belonged to Jun Lin. The investigation uncovered disturbing videos, a man desperate for fame and an international manhunt. With the help of authorities overseas, the suspect of Jun’s murder was caught and extradited back to Canada to be prosecuted. Cases like these make us wonder: why is it those with the gentlest souls happen upon such evil?

We will be releasing new episodes every Tuesday and Thursday where we will discuss either a true crime case or something spooky!
We'd love to hear your stories, if you have any stories you want us to cover OR if you have any personal spooky stories you'd be willing to share, we'd love to read your story on an episode of our podcast. We can be reached at evileverywherepod@gmail.com and on Facebook at: Evil Everywhere: A True Crime and Horror Podcast, and TikTok, Instagram and Youtube: @evileverywherepod.
