Mixed Spirits

Send us Fan MailGrab your Texas sized old fashioned and settle in, because this week Mixed Spirits is taking you from the grueling pavement of a Texas investigation to a mind-bending mystery in India.First, we dive into the relentless world of Houston Police Department Detective Johnny Bonds. In 1979, a horrific suburban tragedy is quickly written off by the medical examiner as a murder-suicide. But Bonds refuses to accept the easy answer. His stubborn gut instinct launches a legendary, years-long crusade to uncover a ruthless, greed-driven murder-for-hire ring. It's a masterclass in Lone Star grit and a stark reminder of what happens when a cop simply refuses to quit with a surprised twist at the end!Then, we cross the globe to Agra, India, for the staggering case of Titu Singh. At just two years old, a young boy begins claiming he already has a wife, children, and a radio shop in a nearby city. What sounds like a child’s vivid imagination turns into one of the most thoroughly documented reincarnation cases in history—complete with matching autopsy birthmarks and memories that ultimately point to an unsolved murder.Follow & Support:Instagram: @MixedSpiritsPodListen & Review: Don't forget to rate and review us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts!Cheers!

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to the very first episode of Mixed Spirits! Grab your shaker, pour a glass, and join next-door neighbors Stephanie and Annie as they dive into two completely different, yet equally mesmerizing, historical mysteries. Stephanie’s Story: The Hinterkaifeck Murders- Stephanie takes us to a remote Bavarian farmstead in 1922 for one of the most baffling and chilling unsolved mysteries in history. Days before six people were brutally murdered at Hinterkaifeck, strange things began happening: footprints in the snow leading to the house but not away, phantom footsteps in the attic, and a missing set of keys. Stephanie breaks down the eerie lead-up and the fascinating, frustrating theories of a crime that still stumps investigators over a century later.Annie’s Story: The Ghosts of Versailles Annie continues the weird vibes by taking us back to 1901 with the bizarre tale of Charlotte Anne Moberly and Eleanor Jourdain. While walking through the grounds of the Petit Trianon at Versailles, these two academics didn't just see old buildings—they stepped completely back in time. Annie shares the fascinating, elegant, and deeply unsettling story of two women who convinced themselves (and generations of readers) that they crossed paths with the ghost of Marie Antoinette in her final days.This Week's Curated Cocktail:  We traded the cocktail shaker for something a bit more authentic this week. To fuel our descent into the Bavarian countryside, we’re drinking traditional Weihenstephaner beer—sourced from the world's oldest brewery, located right in the region surrounding the Hinterkaifeck farmstead. Join us for a round of macabre mysteries and killer drinks. Cheers!
