John “Babbacombe” Lee

Well, this is it, it's been 6 years, we've laughed, we've cried, we've... talked a shit ton about death and murder and monsters. To be serious, we did this because we enjoyed doing it, we never chased numbers or followed analytics yet somehow for a short time we became a #1 True Crime podcast in some country I can't even remember AND got ourselves banned in Singapore (which is even cooler). We joked a lot about the 2 fans we had, and we were shocked when we found out we had so many, I don't recall the number because it was years ago but it was shocking to see. To sum it up, we thank you all for listening to us, we hope we brought you interesting stories and hope we made you laugh at times as well, after all, our goal was to make this not a deep drive but to feel like just hanging out with friends and talking. Thank you once again to all of our listeners, the world is scary right now, especially our own country, stay safe, be kind and farewell.

Nate brings our last NoSleep story to us this week, Apartment Zero, an interesting story though we did question a few things, but a great story nonetheless, and that brings us up to one more episode, our finale will be next week.

This week we go back a bit to darker crime, David Parker Ray aka The Toybox Killer. And a huge trigger warning for this episode. We've probably all heard this horrid story and all about this monster, I myself have seen a few documentaries and crime shows about him only recently did I actually find and hear the infamous cassettes he would play. So this week, instead of how we normally do true crime we talk a little then in his own words via the cassette audio the monster describes the atrocities he commit. The way he talks and describes things in a tone like its normal feels more impactful and shows what a true monster he was then if we just talked about the atrocities.

Nate brings an interesting story this week, a relatively local cryptid I hadn't heard of yet, a strange humanoid like creature, a slaughter of a settlement, then a slaughter of the killers, and the cryptid perhaps something akin to a spirit or entity of vengeance, pretty cool little story.

This week, since the extended delay we get into a bit of a soup episode, just a little soup, then a little crime mixed in. After we ramble I cover a little of the serial killer Isreal Keyes.

Nate brings us this story this week and I personally enjoyed this one. In 1980 men in disquise deliver a bamob to Harvey's Resort Hotel and Casino with ransom demands as well as the claim they didn't wish to hurt anyone and told the authorities involved exactly how much explosives there were and how far of a radius to clear people to keep them safe, what follows though is interesting and then ridiculous.

We're closing in on the end, and how else to end other than by talking about a doomsday cult, a cult who believed the world would end on December 31st, 1999, and then another date when the first time didn't work out as expected. The Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God, who were undecided on when the world would end, then decided to take matters into the own hands with a death toll they believe to be over 900.

We're getting close to the end and wanted to squeeze in one more episode of r/nosleep stories. We each have a story we liked and have brought them to you today, crediting the author as always of course, we hope you enjoy them.

Nates story on the last episode had me curious about other notable executions that didn't go as planned. So this week we have six short stories about other cases where this happened and what followed.

This week after are usual ramblings we talk about the unhangable man, John “Babbacombe” Lee. Nate brings us this story which is rather interesting. A story of a man, the gallows, and fate denied. Or possibly not denied as he may have been innocent.
