159. The Mystery of The Setagaya Family Murders

from Heart Starts Pounding: Horrors, Hauntings and Mysteries · host Heart Starts Pounding

One of my most terrifying fears is the idea that someone is watching me without me knowing about it. Or worse, that someone is inside my home watching me without me knowing about it. If that freaks you out as well, this might be a tough episode for you. Because today we are going to tell you about one of Japan’s most horrifying mysteries, but at its core was a family who got a really bad feeling that someone was watching them. TW: Child D*ath, Animal Ab*seShow Notes: https://www.heartstartspounding.com/episodes/setagayamurdersSubscribe on⁠ Patreon⁠ to become a member of our Rogue Detecting Society and enjoy ad-free listening, monthly bonus content, merch discounts and more.
