The Cold Spot Confessions Podcast

Grab your favourite mug and pull up a chair, because this week, we’re doing things a little differently. Consider this your official invitation to a casual coffee date with us as we throw the script out the window for a completely unstructured, "vibe-heavy" deep dive into the weird.In this episode, we aren't sticking to one case. Instead, we’re leaning into the chaos and catching up on all the cosmic strangeness that’s been keeping us up at night. From UFO sightings and Space Sirens to the nagging feeling that the universe is currently "glitching," we’re covering it all in our most casual conspiracy chat yet.Is it a Timeline Shift? A Mandela Effect? Or just the result of having one too many espressos? We’re rambling through the mysteries of the cosmos, questioning our reality, and taking a few (okay, a lot) of tangents along the way. If you’ve ever felt like the world just feels a little off lately, this is the episode for you.Share your stories with us so we can read them during Listener Week!  @[email protected] - The_Cold_Spot_Confessions https://www.instagram.com/the_cold_spot_confessions?utm_source=qr&igsh=aTBsejd2b3k2YnpvTiktok - The Cols Spot Confessions Podcasthttp://tiktok.com/@the.cold.spot.conFacebook - The Cold Spot Confessions Podcast https://www.facebook.com/share/1KjTVh7t51/

This week, we’re headed to Plainfield, Wisconsin, to meet the man, the myth, and the ultimate mother’s boy: Ed Gein.While most people pick up sourdough or knitting as a hobby, Eddie took "DIY" to a level that changed the horror genre forever. We’re doing a deep dive into the Butcher of Plainfield, exploring how his isolated upbringing and an extreme case of "mommy issues" led to the most bizarre home renovation project in history.From his midnight trips to the cemetery to his legendary (and terrifying) "craft room," we explore the man who inspired cinema’s most famous monsters—from Psycho’s Norman Bates to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre’s Leatherface. Grab a drink and maybe a snack (actually, maybe skip the snack for this one), as we get into the "skinny" on Ed Gein.Share your stories with us so we can read them during Listener Week!  @[email protected] - The_Cold_Spot_Confessions https://www.instagram.com/the_cold_spot_confessions?utm_source=qr&igsh=aTBsejd2b3k2YnpvTiktok - The Cols Spot Confessions Podcasthttp://tiktok.com/@the.cold.spot.conFacebook - The Cold Spot Confessions Podcast https://www.facebook.com/share/1KjTVh7t51/

In this episode, we take a deep dive into one of the most harrowing chapters of the 20th century: the rise and fall of Jim Jones and the Peoples Temple.How did a boy from rural Indiana, born into a bizarre and fractured household, grow up to become a self-proclaimed prophet? We trace Jones’ origins—from his early days in Indianapolis to the move to California—and explore the charismatic mask he wore to build a movement based on social justice.Finally, we journey into the jungle of Guyana to break down the tragic reality of the Jonestown disaster. We separate the myths from the facts, looking at the psychological grip Jones held over his followers and the series of events that led to the final, fatal "White Night."Share your stories with us so we can read them during Listener Week!  @[email protected] - The_Cold_Spot_Confessions https://www.instagram.com/the_cold_spot_confessions?utm_source=qr&igsh=aTBsejd2b3k2YnpvTiktok - The Cols Spot Confessions Podcasthttp://tiktok.com/@the.cold.spot.conFacebook - The Cold Spot Confessions Podcast https://www.facebook.com/share/1KjTVh7t51/

Step aside, Bigfoot. We’re moving into the "Budget Section" of cryptozoology.This week on the pod, we’re trading in the terrifying for the truly ridiculous. We’re diving into the world of funny cryptids—the ones that are more likely to make you laugh than scream. We discuss the Squonk, a creature that is essentially just a walking emotional breakdown in a puddle; the Furry Trout, which is what happens when a fish decides it needs a winter wardrobe; and the Jackalope, the antlered rabbit whose population control methods are... explosive, to say the least.From the spike-covered Hodag of Wisconsin to the Drop Bears that make Australian tourists live in fear of trees, we’re questioning the biological logic of every creature on this list. We also get lost in the chaos of Cornish Pixies, who are basically just the original "Chaos Gremlins" of the UK.Share your stories with us so we can read them during Listener Week!  @[email protected] - The_Cold_Spot_Confessions https://www.instagram.com/the_cold_spot_confessions?utm_source=qr&igsh=aTBsejd2b3k2YnpvTiktok - The Cols Spot Confessions Podcasthttp://tiktok.com/@the.cold.spot.conFacebook - The Cold Spot Confessions Podcast https://www.facebook.com/share/1KjTVh7t51/

This week, we’re stepping inside the Winchester Mystery House, the world’s most famous 38-year-long DIY project. We’re talking about Sarah Winchester, the spirits of the Winchester rifle, and why on earth anyone needs 13 bathrooms and a window built into the floor. From staircases that lead directly into the ceiling to doors that open into a two-story drop, we’re trying to figure out if Sarah was building a labyrinth for ghosts or if her general contractor was just a chaotic prankster from the afterlife.Fair warning: This episode is a bit of a fever dream. Between the history and the hauntings, we may have reached a level of "caffeinated chaos" that shouldn't be legally allowed.Honestly, don't listen to this episode if you don't want to go on loads of tangents. We’re talking 160 rooms of tangents. We’re talking "finding a secret passageway in our own brains" levels of off-topic. If you like your paranormal history served with a side of random thoughts and vibrating heart rates, you’re in the right place. If not... well, there’s a door to nowhere with your name on it.Share your stories with us so we can read them during Listener Week!  @[email protected] - The_Cold_Spot_Confessions https://www.instagram.com/the_cold_spot_confessions?utm_source=qr&igsh=aTBsejd2b3k2YnpvTiktok - The Cols Spot Confessions Podcasthttp://tiktok.com/@the.cold.spot.conFacebook - The Cold Spot Confessions Podcast https://www.facebook.com/share/1KjTVh7t51/

Welcome back to The Cold Spot Confessions. This week, we are opening The Epstein Files (Part 2). While our last look was at the crimes, this episode dives into the "how"—tracing Jeffrey Epstein’s improbable rise to power, the mysterious connections he made, and how he built his billionaire lifestyle.We also go down the rabbit hole of Adrenochrome, discussing the chilling theories that paint certain celebrities as modern-day vampires who rely on the unthinkable to stay young. It’s dark territory, so we take a detour into the bizarre world of Gerald the Dolphin and the latest Florida Man shenanigans.To wrap things up, we try our best to lift the mood with a round of "Would You Rather" and a deep dive into our hypothetical lives as "Inconvenience Burglars." We spent way too much time laughing about which items we’d steal from bad people just to ruin their day—starting with every single left shoe they own.Tune in for a mix of deep-state deep dives, celebrity conspiracies, and the most specific heist planning you've ever heard!Share your stories with us so we can read them during Listener Week!  @[email protected] - The_Cold_Spot_Confessions https://www.instagram.com/the_cold_spot_confessions?utm_source=qr&igsh=aTBsejd2b3k2YnpvTiktok - The Cols Spot Confessions Podcasthttp://tiktok.com/@the.cold.spot.conFacebook - The Cold Spot Confessions Podcast https://www.facebook.com/share/1KjTVh7t51/

Welcome back to The Cold Spot Confessions! This is a massive milestone episode for us, and we have some incredible news to share! Before we dive into the weirdness, we are officially announcing that our newest cohost has been born, and Vikki is officially engaged! > To celebrate the new life and the diamond ring, we’re keeping things light-hearted with some of the most bizarre Easter folklore and rituals we’ve ever found. We discuss the legend of the "Easter Bird"—a poor creature that got halfway transformed into a hare and was cursed to lay eggs once a year (and we’re convinced at least one is a rotten egg).We also explain why you should never trust your neighbour if they happen to be a hare, and why you must hide your brooms on Easter. Apparently, if a witch can’t find a broom, she’ll just ride your cow until it dies. Charming, right?From stealing livestock to diapers and wedding planning, we try our best to lift the mood with the weirdest holiday history you've ever heard.Tune in for the chaos, the curses, and our biggest celebrations yet!Share your stories with us so we can read them during Listener Week!  @[email protected] - The_Cold_Spot_Confessions https://www.instagram.com/the_cold_spot_confessions?utm_source=qr&igsh=aTBsejd2b3k2YnpvTiktok - The Cols Spot Confessions Podcasthttp://tiktok.com/@the.cold.spot.conFacebook - The Cold Spot Confessions Podcast https://www.facebook.com/share/1KjTVh7t51/

Welcome back to The Cold Spot Confessions! After a heavy few weeks, we are ready to dive into something a bit more nostalgic—though, as it turns out, our childhood memories are actually incredibly dark.This week, we explore the twisted origins of famous nursery rhymes and common sayings. We take a look at the "warming pan" theory behind Rock-a-Bye Baby, which—let’s be honest—sounds way too much like a bed pan, sending us into an absolute laughing fit.We also discuss the gross reality of the saying "Throw the baby out with the bathwater." After hearing how they used to share bathwater, we've officially renamed it "People Soup."  From the plague-ridden history of Three Blind Mice to the grim theories behind London Bridge Falling Down and the creepy origin of a "Dead Ringer," we realise that our parents were basically singing us horror stories.Tune in as we try to lift the mood while ruining your childhood, one rhyme at a time!Share your stories with us so we can read them during Listener Week!  @[email protected] - The_Cold_Spot_Confessions https://www.instagram.com/the_cold_spot_confessions?utm_source=qr&igsh=aTBsejd2b3k2YnpvTiktok - The Cols Spot Confessions Podcasthttp://tiktok.com/@the.cold.spot.conFacebook - The Cold Spot Confessions Podcast https://www.facebook.com/share/1KjTVh7t51/

⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains discussions of child sexual abuse, human trafficking, and extreme violence. Listener discretion is strongly advised.Welcome back to The Cold Spot Confessions. This week, we are beginning our most difficult and intense investigation yet as we open The Epstein Files (Part 1). We delve into the horrific allegations surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, examining his history as a child trafficker and the disturbing details of his private island. We also discuss the deeply unsettling theories regarding coded language—specifically the definitions behind terms like "pizza," "grape soda," and "cream cheese"—and the even darker allegations of ritualistic abuse.Furthermore, we briefly touch upon the connections and allegations involving high-profile figures, including Donald Trump and Prince Andrew. This is a heavy-hitter episode that covers dark and twisted realities. While we try our best to lift the mood where possible, we recognize the gravity of these crimes and the importance of speaking the truth about these victims.If you or someone you know has been affected by sexual assault, help is available.

Welcome back to The Cold Spot Confessions! This week, we intended to have a serious look at "The Wickedest Man in the World," but honestly? The wheels fell off almost immediately.We start with the dark and twisted life of occultist Aleister Crowley. We take a tour through his infamous "Chamber of Nightmares," which we quickly realize sounds way too much like a knock-off Harry Potter book. This leads to a caffeine (and hormone) fueled theory about Harry fighting a very different kind of "basilisk" than the one in the movies.Speaking of fighting urges, we dive into the bizarre history of Kellogg's Corn Flakes. Did you know they were originally invented to stop teenage boys from... well, "self-soothing"? It’s a historical deep dive that sends us into an absolute laughing fit.From Crowley being the human personification of Coco Pops to the Kellogg's man's war on "trouser snakes," this is easily our most unhinged episode yet. We try our best to lift the mood, and boy, did we succeed.Tune in for occultism, cereal secrets, and more laughter than we can legally handle!Share your stories with us so we can read them during Listener Week!  @[email protected] - The_Cold_Spot_Confessions https://www.instagram.com/the_cold_spot_confessions?utm_source=qr&igsh=aTBsejd2b3k2YnpvTiktok - The Cols Spot Confessions Podcasthttp://tiktok.com/@the.cold.spot.conFacebook - The Cold Spot Confessions Podcast https://www.facebook.com/share/1KjTVh7t51/

Welcome back to The Cold Spot Confessions! If last week’s Mandela Effect talk had you questioning your memory, this episode will have you questioning the very room you’re sitting in. This week, we are diving deep into the simulation with Glitches in the Matrix.We start by tidying up a few more mind-bending Mandela Effects before moving into the truly unsettling stuff. We finally cover the legendary "Lamp" story—an internet mystery that has haunted readers for years and makes you look at your own home a little differently.From objects appearing out of nowhere to moments where the world just... breaks, we discuss why reality might be more fragile than we think.  Tune in for the ultimate reality check, and whatever you do—don't stare at the lamp for too long. Share your stories with us so we can read them during Listener Week!  @[email protected] - The_Cold_Spot_Confessions https://www.instagram.com/the_cold_spot_confessions?utm_source=qr&igsh=aTBsejd2b3k2YnpvTiktok - The Cols Spot Confessions Podcasthttp://tiktok.com/@the.cold.spot.conFacebook - The Cold Spot Confessions Podcast https://www.facebook.com/share/1KjTVh7t51/

We are back for Part 2 of our Cursed Objects deep dive, and honestly? Things get a little unhinged. This week, we are tackling two of the most infamous items in paranormal history.First, we sit down (but not literally) with The Chair of Death. We discuss the dark legend of the Busby Stoop Chair and why you definitely don't want to take a load off in this particular piece of furniture.Then, we dive into the terrifying Dybbuk Box.
