Episode 160: Greenbrier Ghost

Listen in to this month's episode, as Joan (from Late Night Legends podcast) is BACK as a guest cohost and taking over CCC! Not only did she pick the case, but she's covering it as well. So sit back & listen in, as she delves into the story of Greenbrier Ghost. It involves murder, mayhem, misogyny, and the magic of a mother's intuition... or mediumship! We had a lot to process with this one. Let us know what YOU think.

TRIGGER WARNING: Contains mention of physical/sexual abuse & suicide.Grant Solomon endured more than most in his lifetime, as did his mom and sister. To say Grant was failed by the system and by some members of society… is a massive understatement. Recently turning 18, the summer of 2020 was supposed to be a pivotal moment for him for more reasons than one. Those opportunities were cut short when Grant tragically lost his life, in a way that is still unexplained to this day. We encourage you to listen to his story and to take action in any way possible, as Grant would have. Help to fight for answers for him and his family, in order to not have them let down by the system yet again. They deserve justice.GoFundMe (Justice for Grant): https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-get-justice-for-grantChange.org Petition (PLEASE SIGN!): https://www.change.org/p/please-help-me-investigate-the-mysterious-death-of-my-son-grant-solomonFreedomforGracie Website:https://www.freedom4gracie.com/scenephotosFreedom for Gracie Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/freedomforgracie?igsh=MWNqNG1zZ2dkZGpmMg==

Spooky RE-RELEASE from last October 👻 Next week will come with a new episode, along with info going forward for when the Halloween babe is here 🦇 Thanks again for your understanding, listens, & support! IT’S SPOOKY SEASON GUYS & GHOULS!!! If you’ve been listening long enough, you know how much we love this time of the year. So to be super festive, we’re bringing back the eerie. This week we’re covering the story of Slender Man (aka Slendy) and the horrifying depictions that come along with him. Creature? Shadow? Human? How could a legend evolve into a murder plot of the most devious and disturbing kind? Listen in closely to find out… & maybe keep a light on. Sidenote: Happy Birthday to the lovely Mom (Sunday) and Happy ✨now 3✨ Year Anniversary to Crime, Cults, & Coffee (Monday)!

Thank you listeners for sticking it out with me as this week’s episode is another RE-RELEASE. Month 9 and I’m currently exhausted and trying to slow down a bit (since I haven’t up until now, along with running on fumes). I’m trying my best to still post something for you, even if that *something* isn’t a brand new episode! In one of the most perplexing cases yet— this week we cover the story of the Mary Morris Murders. Two horrific crime scenes. Four days apart. Similar case details. Not to mention, two women with the SAME NAME. There are sooo many questions and not nearly enough answers.

Bare with me, as this week’s episode is a RE-RELEASE! TRIGGER WARNING: This case includes gruesome crime scene details. What do you get when you combine fire, murder, money, and a bat-shit crazy human with a pig farm? This. Episode. Let's take you back to the early 1900's... when searching for a husband in the personal ads was apparently a thing (at least in this story anyway), and people were going missing left and right across the U.S. If you've never heard of the crimes committed by Belle Gunness-- you're going to want to give this week's episode a listen. Atrocious doesn't even begin to describe it.

TRIGGER WARNING: Includes graphic detail, rape, and murder. Peter Morin aka The Chameleon spent decades committing crimes... and 12 years (that we know of) taking the lives of others. Between living a transient lifestyle and going by a multitude of aliases, he evaded authorities and suspicion of certain crimes for years. Manipulative, cunning, and elusive -- he found ways to ensnare those around him, with no regards to human life. Listen in to hear not his story... but the story of the lives that were taken and/or affected by Morin, as well as his eventual capture.

It’s BABY SHOWER WEEK!!! 🦇🎃🤍This week’s episode is a RE-RELEASE & there’s been a couple requests for coverage of this case lately.

The disappearance of Brian Shaffer is baffling, devastating, and ongoing. Where could this med student have gone? Was it foul play, an accident, or by choice? What happened after leaving the view of outdoor cameras? So many questions and not nearly enough answers.
