MICROBREW: Teresita Basa and the Voice from the Grave

from Homebrew Murder Crew

What do you get when you mix a hospital, a murder, and a ghost with a flair for dramatic timing? This week, we’re diving into the spine-tingling, eyebrow-raising, and oddly heartwarming case of Teresita Basa—Chicago’s most talkative ghost.In 1977, Teresita was found murdered in her apartment. The case went cold... until she allegedly returned from beyond the grave with a hot tip for detectives. Through a coworker’s dreams (or possessions—depends who you ask), Teresita named her killer, detailed the crime, and even pointed to the missing loot. Spoiler: it was exactly where she said it would be.Join us as we unravel this paranormal whodunit with a wink and a smirk. Was it a ghostly confession or just a very elaborate psychic performance? Either way, it’s one heck of a story—and we promise, no Ouija boards were harmed in the making of this episode.👻 Murder, mystery, and a medium with a message—this one’s got it allSources:https://chicagoridgelibrary.org/event/14335330 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-greatest-true-crime-stories-ever-told/id1718699612 https://www.betterworldbooks.com/product/detail/teresita-the-voice-from-the-grave-9780929387673 https://podcasts.apple.com/id/podcast/the-murder-of-teresita-basa/id1379959217?i=1000619395366 https://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/481565/voice-from-the-grave-from-the-files-of-unsolved-mysteries https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_from_the_Grave#:~:text=A%20segment%20from%20the%20Unsolved,in%20Chicago%2C%20Illinois%2C%20inspired%20this  Hosted on Acast.

Chinook Realm Religion and crime collide when a gruesome murder rocks the isolated community of Chinook, Montana. Local Deputy Ruth Vogel thought she was answering a routine animal control call, only to find a mangled corpse on the frozen embankment. Her small town is whipped into a frenzy and everyone is quick to point their fingers at a drug-addicted teenager, but Ruth suspects connections to a powerful religious group. Enter Agent Loro, an enigmatic FBI investigator tracking an evangelical cult that may have roots right here in Chinook. Loro and Ruth form a cautious partnership to find the killer—but as the mystery winds through Ruth’s life, her family, and her church, she’ll discover something more sinister than murder is afoot.Binge all episodes of Chinook exclusively and ad-free by joining Wondery+ in the Wondery App, Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
