Northern State Hospital once stood as Washington State’s largest psychiatric institution, housing thousands of patients during the early 20th century.

Today, the abandoned grounds are known as much for their eerie atmosphere as for their tragic past. If you enjoy this episode, be sure to leave us a review and subscribe so you never miss an episode!

On December 30, 2000, the Miyazawa family was brutally murdered in their Tokyo home. What makes the Setagaya murders especially chilling isn’t just the violence—it’s the fact that the killer stayed in the house for hours afterward, leaving behind an extraordinary amount of evidence. More than two decades later, the case remains unsolved, becoming Japan’s most infamous cold case and a source of enduring mystery and grief.

In this episode we explore the heartbreaking case of Megan Kanka, a 7-year-old girl from Hamilton Township, New Jersey, whose 1994 murder shocked the nation and led to sweeping legal reform. Megan was lured into her neighbor’s home, assaulted, and murdered by Jesse Timmendequas, a convicted sex offender who lived across the street—unknown to her family and the community.
