  • EP# 22 Deadly Bunkers and Cursed Playthings: The Keller Family Murders and Robert the Doll
    Nov 20 2024

    In the first half of this episode, Kai delves into the harrowing and meticulously planned crimes of Peter Keller, a man whose descent into darkness culminated in unimaginable tragedy. In April 2012, Keller murdered his wife, Lynettee, and their 18-year-old daughter, Kaylene, before setting their home ablaze. But this was no crime of passion—Keller had spent eight years constructing a hidden bunker deep in the Rattlesnake Ridge area, where he fled after the murders. This fortified, multi-level hideout was stocked with weapons, supplies, and survival gear, a grim testament to his apocalyptic mindset.

    Authorities tracked Keller to his concealed lair using photographs and tips from hikers, leading to a tense 22-hour standoff. Ultimately, Keller took his own life, leaving behind a chilling legacy of obsession and devastation. Kai explores the twisted psyche of a man who prepared for survival but ensured destruction, unraveling the layers of planning, paranoia, and heartbreak in this chilling case.

    Next, J takes us to Key West, Florida, to meet Robert the Doll, a toy with a reputation as infamous as Keller’s bunker was hidden. Once the prized possession of Robert Eugene Otto in the early 1900s, Robert the Doll has become a notorious figure in paranormal lore. Stories of misfortune and eerie happenings follow this pint-sized terror, with museum visitors claiming to feel his eyes following them or experiencing mysterious accidents after disrespecting him.

    Now housed in a glass case, Robert continues to inspire both fear and fascination, as skeptics and believers alike grapple with his unsettling legacy. J unpacks the origins, the tales of terror, and the psychological impact of this cursed plaything, leaving listeners to decide: Is Robert truly haunted, or does his legend hold the power to haunt minds?

    From the shadows of a deadly bunker to the unsettling gaze of a cursed doll, this episode of Chambers of the Occult will send chills down your spine.

  • EP# 21 Death by Dose and Ghosts from the Morgue: The Tylenol Murders and The Haunting in Connecticut
    Nov 14 2024

    In the first half of this episode, J unravels the harrowing mystery of the Tylenol Murders, a case that sent shockwaves across America in 1982. In Chicago, several people mysteriously died after taking what they thought was ordinary Tylenol for pain relief. Soon, authorities discovered the grim truth: the capsules had been laced with cyanide, leading to seven tragic deaths within days. This brutal act of tampering not only sparked a massive recall but also led to groundbreaking changes in the packaging of over-the-counter drugs, introducing tamper-proof seals as a new safety standard. Despite years of intense investigation, the identity of the perpetrator remains unknown, leaving behind a legacy of fear and unanswered questions: who poisoned these pills, and why did they commit such a heartless crime?

    Next, Kai takes us into the eerie depths of The Haunting in Connecticut, where the Snedeker family found themselves at the mercy of disturbing supernatural forces. After moving into a former funeral home, the family began experiencing relentless paranormal phenomena, from shadowy apparitions to violent physical attacks. As they delved into the property’s history, they unearthed shocking details about its past as a mortuary, with whispers of necromantic rituals that may have left lingering darkness in the home. The situation grew so terrifying that famed investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren were called to intervene, declaring it one of their most disturbing cases. Was this just a series of coincidences, or had the family truly awakened something sinister that refused to leave? Kai guides us through the chilling twists of this Connecticut haunting, exploring the thin line between life, death, and whatever lurks beyond.

  • Old News Nonsense Vol. 10
    Oct 31 2024

    In Old News Nonsense Vol. 10, we’re starting things off with a honking good story: the wandering goose of Ocean Pines, who met an untimely, yet somehow expected fate after terrorizing an entire neighborhood. This ornery goose had the whole community on edge, and it seems that Friday the 13th was the last straw.

    Next, we delve into a mystery worthy of a feathered detective: a birdnapping heist at Tropic Gardens Zoo. From baby parakeets to beloved Chicken George himself, it’s a tale of squawks, scandal, and a $500 reward for any information about this fowl felony.

    In the world of pigeons, not all birds are created equal — at least, not according to Atlantic City’s National Pigeon Association. Pigeon enthusiasts are here to defend their pristine pets against the reputation set by the boardwalk’s less-than-elegant “street pigeons.” It’s a battle of clout in the pigeon community, and these feathered aristocrats are not letting any peanut-pilfering street birds tarnish their good name.

    Now, hold your breath for Nebraska’s first crow-bombing in 27 years, where the skies cleared in a cacophony of cawing chaos as 5,000 unlucky crows met their explosive end. It was a coordinated operation of dynamite and primacord — all to rid Litchfield of its most unwanted feathered guests.

    Just when you think we’re grounded, we get swept up in the excitement of a runaway horse on Penn Avenue. This rogue equine took to the streets, crashing into wagons, evading capture, and eventually being halted by a brave bystander, Jacob Rott, who heroically held on despite being dragged 100 feet.

    Next, we pay our respects (or not) with an obituary for Kathleen Dehmlow, whose family spared no words in detailing her legacy — or rather, lack thereof. Sometimes, history is best remembered honestly, and for the Dehmlow family, that meant letting the world know exactly why they felt the world was better off without her.

    We switch gears with the Purina Cat Chow Calendar Contest, where your feline friend could claw their way to $25,000 and a shot at calendar stardom. Last year’s winner set the standard, and now it’s your cat’s turn to chow down, pose up, and possibly become America’s next top cat.

    Finally, we’ll wrap things up with the oddly named music group Zoom, Schwartz, and Profigliano. Named after a Milwaukee drinking game, this ensemble’s name may have raised eyebrows, but it’s their unique sound that’s got audiences talking. With a blend of harmonies, bossa nova, and calypso influences, they’re ready to shoot for the stars — and maybe even the pinnacle of show business, if their confidence is anything to go by.

    So tune in to Old News Nonsense Vol. 10 for a ride through stories that are anything but dull, and prepare to be amused by the oddities of old headlines.
