Ep. 84: Wail of a Tale- The Banshee & The Babysitter Murders

Happy Saturday! It's almost October, and it's feeling spooky out here. In today's episode, we’re blending eerie folklore with true crime chills. First up, we dive into the haunting legend of the banshee—an ominous figure known for her blood-curdling wail that signals death. Is it a mere myth, or does she truly foretell doom? Then, we switch gears and head to Oakland County in the 1970s, where a chilling string of child murders left a community in fear. Known as the Oakland County Child Killer, this unsolved case still haunts Michigan, with almost no information being found on who the perpetrator actually is. Got thoughts on banshees, theories on the Oakland case, or your own ghost stories to share? Let me know by leaving a comment. And don’t forget to reach out with your pick for Alaska’s most haunted location—our Haunted Road Trip minisode at the end of the month might just feature it! Ready to get spooked? Press play, if you dare, cheers!
