On December 4, 2024, a cold winter morning in New York City, a Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare was gunned down in broad daylight. Thompson was steps away from a Manhattan hotel—on his way to an annual investors meeting. This is when a lone gunman took his life right here on the sidewalk. The shocking killing sparked a five-day nationwide manhunt. And when the arrest finally came on December 9, 2024 in a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, the alleged assailant wasn’t who anyone expected. The alleged shooter was a young man by the name of Luigi Mangione. A well-educated individual with a master’s degree, no criminal record and seemingly limitless potential. Prosecutors claim that his alleged actions were driven by his hatred for America’s for-profit health insurance system. But to thousands across the nation he’s more than just a suspect—he’s a symbol. A martyr. This case has divided the nation. Was it a cold-blooded execution? Or the desperate act of someone trying to spark change? Tune in as we dive into one of the most polarizing murder cases in recent history—and ask the question on everyone’s mind: was Luigi a Martyr or a Murderer?

In Eastern Slavic lore, there are two fearsome creatures that are said to lurk in the forests and woods: Baba Yaga and The Leshy. Baba Yaga appears in many tales since 1755, although believed to be in spoken lore much earlier. She lives deep in the woods, in a house that walks on chicken legs, goat legs or ram horns, with a fence made of human bones and a hunger for secrets. She’s been called a witch, a cannibal, a guardian of ancient magic. Baba Yaga is older than memory and far more dangerous than a fairy tale. But to those brave—or foolish—enough to knock on her door, Baba Yaga might offer wisdom... or ruin. Similar to Baba Yaga, the Leshy is not inherently good or evil. Sometimes a protector. Sometimes a prankster. And sometimes... something much darker. The Leshy is the guardian of the forest, said to play tricks on those lost or disrespecting the forest. There are ways to protect yourself from the Leshy however it is still revered as a spirit no one wants to cross. These supernatural beings have haunted and fascinated generations with their dual and mischievous natures.

Long Island, New York—known for its scenic coastlines, quiet suburbs, and elite vacation spots like the Hamptons—is a place where life seems idyllic. But beneath the charm and beauty lies a disturbing truth: this region has long been stalked by darkness. Serial killers have left their mark here before… and one of the most chilling was a man named Robert Shulman. Between 1991 and 1995, Shulman lived in the quiet town of Hicksville with his brother. By day, he worked a steady job at the post office—just another ordinary man blending into an ordinary neighborhood. To outsiders, he seemed to be building a modest, uneventful life. But behind closed doors… a monster was lurking. What unfolded in those years would shock even the most hardened detectives. A trail of brutality, hidden in plain sight, was growing. And no one knew that the man sorting mail by day was committing horrors by night—acts so vile, so grotesque, they would leave a permanent scar on Long Island's history.

Life in Dallas, Texas in 2015 was marked by growth, diversity, and a booming economy. Home to popular sports teams, Dallas was thriving culturally. A bright, accomplished pediatric dentist in the Dallas area, Dr. Kendra Hatcher, was living her dream—helping children, a loving boyfriend and an upcoming romantic getaway. Unfortunately, this dream was cut short in a violent way. In the parking garage of her upscale apartment complex, Kendra was ambushed and shot in cold blood. But this wasn’t a random act of violence—it was a chilling murder-for-hire plot fueled by jealousy and obsession. The mastermind? A dental hygienist who saw Kendra as a threat to a love she couldn’t let go of. A borrowed car and a hired gunman, indicated every step was meticulously planned. After 2 accomplices were detained, the third was on the run. After a nationwide manhunt with this perpetrator making the FBI’s 10 most wanted list, investigators were able to unravel the deadly web of lies. How did this jealousy and obsession turn lethal?

Back in 2011, then 27-year-old, Michelina Lewandowska was living the life she had wanted. She had a wonderful three-year-old son and a partner who she loved so deeply; and he loved her just as much. Or so, she thought. But Michelina soon learned that her belief that he loved her as deeply as she loved him, couldn’t be further from the truth. Marcin Kasprzak, Michelina’s fiancé, had bound, gagged and tasered her before putting her in the trunk of a car to be driven to a remote area. But what happened next defies belief: Michelina was buried alive in a shallow grave – and left to die. But somehow, hidden beneath the dirt was a woman whose strength and determination allowed her to do the impossible; she survived. This is the story of a woman who refused to be silenced, even by the weight of the earth itself. Michelina’s story is one of terror, tragedy but also inspiration. This story is that of a love turned evil and the story of a woman who literally clawed her way out of the grave to take back her life. So, tune in for this shorter episode. This is not just true crime. This is survival. This is the story of the survival of Michelina Lewandowska.

Welcome to Part II of Little Known Hauntings in Rochester, NY. This time, we are going to tell the tales of Eliza of the Tracks, The Green Lantern Inn and The Manitou Road Demon. A woman named Eliza is said to haunt the railroad tracks which are no longer active between Rochester and Syracuse. Said to be a ghostly figure in hoop skirts, Eliza’s tale is one of betrayal and mistrust. The Green Lantern Inn in Fairport NY was a social hub through most of the early 20th century. Now on the National Register of Historic Places, it is rumored to be haunted by its original owner, Henry A. DeLand. A few paranormal groups have investigated the Inn, recording some mysterious happenstances. The Manitou Road Demon is said to haunt the 7.7 mile road in Greece NY. One woman had a narrow encounter with the demon, describing it as more malevolent than a beast. Tune in to hear these chilling tales in our local Rochester NY.

Deliverance is the belief that a person can be spiritually cleansed or freed from demonic oppression — and some Christians believe they have the authority through Christ to carry it out themselves. But what happens when that belief turns dangerous? In this episode, we examine the tragic 1993 case of Joan Vollmer, a woman suffering from hypomania and schizophrenia. After years of mental health struggles and failed treatments, Joan's husband, Ralph, became convinced her condition was the result of demonic influence. Without her knowledge, he arranged for members of their congregation to come to their home and perform a “deliverance.” What followed was a harrowing week of restraint, interrogation, and abuse — and ultimately, Joan's death. This story raises unsettling questions about faith, mental illness, and how spiritual intentions can lead to devastating outcomes. Sometimes, the real danger lies not in demons — but in those who believe they’re fighting them.

New Haven CT in 2009 was a mix of urban revival and challenges, with it being home to Yale University. New Haven was a hub for education, arts, and culture, with the university playing a major role in local economic stability. This prestigious university is where Annie Le (Lay) would attend to pursue a doctorate in pharmacology after receiving her undergraduate degree from the University of Rochester. In her third year at Yale, she was running a research lab, set to marry the love of her life on September 13, 2009. However, Annie went missing on September 8, 2009. She was last seen on security cameras entering the building where her lab was located , but was never seen exiting. Investigators searched everywhere in her lab for evidence, but it wasn’t until days later, when an expanded search was conducted did they know something horrible occurred. An undeniable scent caught their noses, confirming what they had only suspected. What they found was brutal and horrific, solidifying her family’s fears: the beautiful Annie would never walk down the aisle.

Funeral directors take an oath to be faithful to those who entrust them with the services whether that be cremation or burial of their loved ones. Funeral directors are people that we as a society automatically trust – we trust that they have our and our deceased loved one’s interests, hopes and wishes at heart. And for the overwhelming majority of funeral directors, that sentiment is true. But as with anything – there can always be a bad apple. Back in the 1980’s in Pasadena, California, the Lamb Funeral Home had been in operation for decades. Passed down through the Lamb family eventually put into the hands of Laurieanne Lamb-Sconce and her husband Jerry Sconce. They ran the business as well as Laurieanne’s father and grandfather before her. But eventually, Laurieanne and Jerry’s son David would get brought into the fold. He had a very different view on death and grief than his predecessors. In this profession he saw a business, an opportunity to make a significant amount of cash and with very minimal oversight. It was discovered that David had been working along side those he hired and even his parents to an extent to cremate more than one, sometimes dozens of bodies at one time in the same oven. Not only would he comingle ash, he would also have his employees fill the ovens by whatever means necessary – even if that meant by the breaking of the limbs. But he would never cremate the deceased prior to removing their jewelry, removing their fillings, removing their clothes and even harvesting their organs – all of these for sale. But he wouldn’t get away with it for long before people began to catch on.

Rochester, NY offers a blend of urban convenience and natural beauty. Home to the infamous Garbage Plate, Rochester is full of activities to do for each season: trails, parks, live music and festivals. The summers are usually spent down by one the beaches, like Durand Beach which is home to lore of the Lady in White. Sitting just across from the Durand Beach sits what locals call “The White lady’s castle”, said to be the home of the White Lady, which is just a small wall of stone and staircase. Despite the lore, this wall and staircase were actually a part of a pavilion. Due to wear and tear and the Great Depression, all that remains of the structure is the wall and staircase. There are many different versions of the Lady in White but all seem to focus on a woman who is wandering the area, searching for something or someone. Not too far from the White Lady’s castle rests the former Reunion Inn, now known as the Union Tavern. With a history dating all the way back to the 1850s, being used as a farm, in the underground railroad and a speakeasy, the reunion inn is said to be haunted by numerous spirits. Staff and the owners have had odd experiences such as disembodied whistling and being touched by invisible hands. Join us on as we explore these two smaller known haunted locations and the background of them.
