Brews With Boos

Krissy cracks open a beer 🍺 and immediately has a crisis because why is Chicago both home and deeply haunted with its bullshit at the same time?? This week, we’re diving into two of the city’s most unhinged legends: 👻 The Fuckery Report: The Devil Baby of Hull House 1913. A rumor spreads about a demon infant—horns, hooves, swearing from birth—and Chicago responds by forming a full-blown line to see it. Yes. Adults. With jobs. All asking Jane Addams if they can peek at Satan’s baby. But beneath the chaos? There’s a reason people needed this story to be real. 🍺 The Long Pour: Resurrection Mary A girl in white gets in your car on Archer Avenue… She’s quiet. She’s cold. She asks to be dropped at Resurrection Cemetery… …and then she’s just gone. No door. No goodbye. Just trauma. And it’s not one story—it’s decades of people reporting the same thing. Vanishing passengers. A man who danced with her, then learned she’d been dead for years. Even a police report involving bent cemetery gates. Because Chicago doesn’t do subtle hauntings. It commits. 🍻 Grab a drink, ghosties. And maybe don’t pick up hitchhikers.

Krissy cracks open a beer 🍺 and immediately regrets the direction her life has taken… because at some point—somewhere along the line—she developed a favorite CIA project and now we’re all stuck here unpacking that together. This week we spiral into The Gateway Process and Project Stargate — a very real, very documented government program where they tried to figure out if your consciousness could leave your body… and then used that information to hire psychics to spy on people. No, seriously. We’re talking: 🌀 the CIA casually saying reality might be fake 🧠 your brain being a literal modem (rude) 📄 a missing page in a classified document (of COURSE there is) 👁️ remote viewers who were a little too accurate 🛸 and a man who was allegedly sent to ancient Mars with his mind So basically what I’m saying is: you’re not your body… you’re just consciousness… wearing a meat suit… logged into reality… and I need you to be as uncomfortable about that as I am. Anyway. Pour a drink. We’re not going to emotionally recover from this one. Cheers, ghosties 👻🍻

Krissy cracks open a drink… 🍺 So I was just minding my business… like a stable adult… reading about CERN (red flag #1)… when my brain decided to absolutely ruin my night by going: “hey… remember that time traveler from 2000?” EXCUSE ME?? And suddenly it’s 2am, I have seventeen tabs open, I’m reading message boards from 2001 like it’s a historical document, and I’m fully sitting there like: “what the fuck is this??” So naturally… I made it your problem. This week we’re diving into: 🌀 John Titor — the man who showed up online and said “hi I’m from 2036” 💻 the early internet — where we were all just… unhinged and trusting for NO reason 👀 predictions that are wrong… except when they’re not ⚠️ and one VERY specific computer detail that should not have been known Also: this absolutely would have worked on me. I would’ve been in that forum like “tell me more king” immediately. This one starts funny… and then gets a little uncomfortable… and then you’re just sitting there like: “…okay but what if though.” Pour a drink. 🍻 You’re gonna need it. #BrewsWithBoos #JohnTitor #TimeTravel #ConspiracyTok #WeirdHistory #EarlyInternet #MillennialCore #AIM #Geocities #SpookyVibes #PodcastLife #TrueWeird #WTFDidIJustLearn #FeralEnergy #BadDecisions

This week started with a simple question: how easy would it be to accidentally join a cult? And then it spiraled. Fast. In Episode 12, we dive headfirst into the reality behind the 1960s. Not the flower crowns, not the peace and love aesthetic, but the absolute psychological freefall happening underneath it all. A generation in crisis, institutions collapsing, people searching for meaning, and the perfect environment for someone like Charles Manson to rise without being stopped. This is not just the story you think you know. We break down the real conditions that made the Manson Family possible, how manipulation and control actually work, and why people do not just “join” something like this overnight. We also get into the Beach Boys connection, the massive law enforcement failures, and the lingering questions that still do not have clear answers decades later. Allegedly. A lot of allegedly. This episode is part history, part psychological breakdown, and part existential crisis you did not ask for but are getting anyway. Grab a drink. You are going to need it.

Krissy cracks open a beer… and immediately regrets learning this information. Because this week? We’re talking about the kind of “science” that feels less like research… and more like what the hell did you just do to people?? Like… 😵‍💫 Facebook’s Emotional Contagion Experiment (2014) where they manipulated the emotions of 689,000+ users without telling them just to see if they could make people sadder or happier 🔒 The Stanford Prison Experiment (1971) the study we were ALL taught in school… that turns out to be way more staged, coached, and manipulated than anyone wants to admit And the deeper you go, the worse it gets. Because this isn’t just “wow that’s messed up” It’s: who approved this?? why did nobody stop this?? and why the hell are we still calling this science?? So grab a drink, sit down, and maybe rethink every emotion you’ve ever had while scrolling your phone… because yeah… we might not be as in control as we think. #brewswithboos #truecrimepodcast #psychology #stanfordprisonexperiment #facebookexperiment #darkhistory #unethicalscience #creepypodcast #paranormalpodcast #horrorpodcast

Krissy cracks open a beer… and immediately regrets everything. You absolute chaos gremlins pushed us over 300 downloads, so naturally we made that everyone’s problem and recorded a bonus episode about the internet’s most cursed creations. This week we’re spiraling through: 👁️ Slenderman — from Photoshop contest to real-world horror 📸 Dear David — the live-tweeted haunting that had all of us refreshing like our lives depended on it 🟨 The Backrooms — why does this place feel familiar and WHO approved that 😵‍💫 The Russian Sleep Experiment — the story that ruins your entire sense of comfort This is your reward. This is your fault. We should’ve logged off. We didn’t. …and now you get to sit with that. Grab a drink, turn on a light, and don’t look in the corner of the room for too long.

Krissy cracks open a beer and immediately spirals because apparently we’re at a point in society where someone looked at a historic asylum — a site tied to one of the most important disability rights cases in U.S. history — and said, “you know what would look great here? Servers.” Yeah. No. We’re talking about that. This week’s Fuckery Report breaks down AI data centers — what they actually are (hint: not a magical little cloud), why they’re being built everywhere, and the very real costs no one’s talking about: massive water usage, insane energy demands, environmental strain, and communities getting bulldozed for tech infrastructure they don’t even benefit from. Then in The Long Pour, we dive into the full history of Pennhurst Asylum (Pennhurst State School and Hospital) — the overcrowding, the abuse, the lawsuit that went all the way to the Supreme Court, and the fight that helped shape disability rights in America. This isn’t just a “haunted place”… this is a place that mattered. Still matters. And now it’s at risk of being demolished… for an AI data center. On that ground. Be so unbelievably serious. This episode is part history, part rage spiral, and part “how did we learn absolutely nothing.” If you’re feeling a little unwell after this one… good. That means you’re paying attention. 👉 Sign the petition to protect Pennhurst: https://www.change.org/p/protect-pennhurst-from-data-center-development Because we can build data centers literally anywhere… but maybe we stop building them on top of places where people already weren’t allowed to rest. Pour one out. This one’s heavy. 🍺👻🖤

Krissy cracks open a beer… and ruins pancakes forever. This week on Brews with Boo’s: 💀 The Fuckery Report: The Great Molasses Flood of 1919 — a 40-foot wave of industrial syrup, a company that painted over a failing tank, and zero accountability after 21 deaths. 🍺 The Long Pour: Betty Crocker — the sweet, trusted kitchen icon who was never real. A corporate invention that shaped generations… right down to the psychology of cake mix (yes, the egg is a lie). Cozy baking vibes meet absolute corporate chaos. The pancakes didn’t happen. The rage did.

A talking mongoose that demanded snacks… and a violent monk haunting a British council house. This week gets weird. This week on Brews with Boo’s, Krissy dives into two of Britain’s strangest paranormal cases. First: Gef the Talking Mongoose, a bizarre 1930s phenomenon where a voice in a farmhouse wall claimed to be an extra-clever mongoose, a ghost, and possibly the Holy Ghost… while demanding biscuits and bananas. Then: The Black Monk of Pontefract, one of the most violent poltergeist hauntings in British history, where a family reported flying objects, scratches appearing on skin, and their teenage daughter being dragged up the stairs by an unseen force. Naturally… they named the demon monk Fred. Grab a drink and join Brews with Boo’s as we explore two chaotic cases of paranormal history, cryptids, and haunted houses. And remember: If something in your walls starts talking… do NOT teach it English.

Krissy cracks open a beer and heads straight to the dance floor of historical chaos. The Fuckery Report: The brutal reality of Great Depression dance marathons — where desperate people danced for weeks at a time for prize money, food, and survival. Exploitation, exhaustion, spectacle, and bodies pushed past their limits in the name of entertainment. The Long Pour: The Dancing Plague of 1518. Hundreds of people in Strasbourg dancing uncontrollably for weeks. Up to fifteen deaths a day. Red shoes, Saint Vitus, mass psychogenic illness, and the truly baffling decision by city leaders to build a stage and encourage more dancing. When society fails people, sometimes they break. Sometimes they break publicly. Susan was out here twerking to death. Grab a drink. Hydrate. Stretch first.

Krissy cracks open a beer and immediately spirals over the Scream copycat effect — because apparently some people watched a horror movie about media obsession and thought it was a career path. 🍺🔪 This week on Brews with Boos, we’re dragging the clout-chasing Ghostface wannabes who killed for “legacy,” breaking down the psychology of copycat killers in The Fuckery Report, and then diving into The Long Pour to remember the real victims — Gina Castillo, Alisson Cambier, and Cassie Jo Stoddart. Horror movies don’t make murderers. Pathetic, attention-starved losers do. We’re not romanticizing killers. We’re saying the victims’ names and roasting the cosplay criminals into oblivion. Cheers to that, my little ghosties. 👻🍻

Krissy cracks open a beer and re-watches the Scream franchise like a completely rational adult… which obviously spirals into the real-life horror that inspired Ghostface. This week’s Fuckery Report dives into killers who built alter egos and hid behind masks — from John Wayne Gacy’s clown routine to BTK’s self-branded ego implosion. Because the mask is never random. It’s infrastructure. We finish with The Long Pour on Danny Rolling, the Gainesville Ripper — the real-life killer whose 1990 murder spree terrorized a university and helped shape the Scream movies. Five students. Four days. A man in a tent who thought he was becoming a superstar. He wasn’t a legend. He was a man in the woods with an ego and a knife. Grab a drink. Lock your doors. And maybe let unknown numbers go to voicemail. 🍺🔪👻

We crack a beer and immediately ruin your day. 🍺👻 This week’s Fuckery Report breaks down four painfully normal things that are only boring and “safe” now because someone else died first. Rules are written in blood. You’re welcome. Then The Long Pour takes us into The Tylenol Murders. No ghosts, just poisoned trust, corporate panic, and the reason your medicine is sealed like it’s guarding state secrets. It’s not cute spooky. It’s humans are the problem spooky. Crack a drink… and ask yourself: Who died for this?

Krissy cracks open a beer and immediately spirals. 🍺 The Fuckery Report exposes houses that straight up tried to kill people and spoiler alert: it was not the ghosts. Then The Long Pour drags The Bell Witch by the throat, roasts “Kate,” and questions every bad life choice that led us here. Dark history, paranormal nonsense, swearing, and vibes that say “this seemed like a good idea at the time.

Krissy cracks a beer and dives into the Radium Girls, starting with The Fuckery Report on how radium became so trusted people were literally putting it in pills and calling it healthcare. Then things turn dark as young women were poisoned for profit, ignored when they got sick, and gaslit while companies knew better. Dark humor, corporate negligence, and righteous rage—this glow-up ends badly.

Beer in hand, Krissy launches Brews with Boos with true crime, dark history, and zero chill. From the nightmare of Daniel LaPlante hiding inside a family’s walls to the brutal reality of asylums and so-called “treatments” like lobotomies, this episode digs into what really happened behind institutional doors. With dark humor and empathy, Krissy unpacks who was locked away, why women were especially targeted, and why places like Eloise still feel haunted by trauma today. This isn’t a ghost story. It’s worse.
