Why are we so OBSESSED with True Crime?
from Mirror Mirror On the Mic · host malissamatia
Why do we unwind with murder? Like, we'll light a candle, pour some tea, and listen to a podcast about a guy named Gary who buried people in his backyard. There is something strangely comforting about hearing the worst case scenario from the safety of your couch. But maybe our obsession with true crime says more about control, and survival than we think. Let's unpack the psychology behind our love of all things creepy-without having to sleep with the lights on.
