EPISODE 143 - Jeremy Evans - I Survived

Send us a textEd Gein: The Butcher of PlainfieldEd Gein was born in 1906 in Plainfield, Wisconsin — a small town that would later wish it had never existed. His childhood was, to put it lightly, grim. His mother, Augusta, was a religious fanatic who preached that all women (except her, of course) were instruments of sin. His father was a drunk. His older brother died mysteriously in a fire, and — surprise, surprise — Ed was the one who found him.After his mother’s death in 1945, Ed completely unraveled. He boarded up her room like a shrine and started dabbling in some light grave robbing — as one does. He’d dig up corpses from the local cemetery, bring them home, and use the body parts to make things like lampshades, bowls, and even a “woman suit” made from human skin. Yeah. That happened.When police finally caught up with him in 1957, they found the body of Bernice Worden — a local hardware store owner — hanging in his shed, gutted like a deer. Inside the house? A museum of horrors: skulls used as bowls, furniture upholstered in skin, and masks made from human faces.Gein was declared legally insane and spent the rest of his life in mental institutions until his death in 1984.His crimes inspired some of the most infamous characters in horror history — Norman Bates (Psycho), Leatherface (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre), and Buffalo Bill (The Silence of the Lambs). Basically, without Ed Gein, the modern horror genre might look very different... and maybe a little less terrifying.Support the showThank you for listening.

Please use discretion, and if at any point you feel uncomfortable, we encourage you to pause or skip this one. Your wellbeing always comes first. Jeremy Evans endured a terrifying brush with death when he was mauled in a sudden bear attack during what should have been a routine outing in the wilderness. The animal lunged at him without warning, knocking him to the ground and leaving him with deep lacerations and broken bones as he fought desperately to stay alive. Against all odds, he managed to escape the assault long enough to be rescued, and though his injuries were life-threatening, Evans survived to tell a harrowing story of raw instinct, sheer willpower, and the unpredictable danger of the wild. Support the showThank you for listening.

Send us a textFlatwoods MonsterThe Flatwoods Monster, also known as the Braxton County Monster, is a mysterious creature reportedly sighted in Flatwoods, West Virginia, on September 12, 1952. Witnesses described a tall, humanoid figure—around 10 feet tall—with a spade-shaped head, glowing red eyes, and a greenish metallic outfit. The sighting followed a reported UFO crash in the area, leading many to believe the creature was extraterrestrial. Several people claimed to feel nauseous after the encounter, possibly due to lingering fumes. While skeptics suggest it may have been a barn owl and hysteria, the legend remains a key piece of American UFO lore.Dover DemonThe Dover Demon was sighted over two nights in April 1977 in Dover, Massachusetts. Teenagers described seeing a small, hairless humanoid with glowing orange eyes, long fingers, and a large, watermelon-shaped head. It moved awkwardly and was spotted near wooded areas and stone walls. Unlike the Flatwoods Monster, the Dover Demon wasn’t associated with UFOs or technology, making it even more mysterious. Its strange appearance and brief but credible sightings have made it a lasting enigma in cryptozoology.Support the showThank you for listening.

Send us a textIn December 1900, three lighthouse keepers disappeared from the lonely, storm-battered Flannan Isles, leaving behind a lit lamp, an untouched meal, and a logbook that hinted at fear and strange storms—yet no trace of them was ever found, and to this day their fate lingers as one of the sea’s most chilling mysteries. Support the showThank you for listening.

Send us a text⚠️ Trigger Warning: violence, murder, cannibalismRichard Chase, chillingly nicknamed the “Vampire of Sacramento,” was a deeply disturbed American serial killer in the late 1970s who brutally murdered six people in California, mutilated their bodies, and drank their blood in the delusional belief that it was the only way to keep himself from dying.Support the showThank you for listening.
