Listen Now: Hysterical
22 JUL 2024 · Hysterical investigates a mysterious illness that spreads among a group of high school girls in upstate New York. What is causing their sudden, often violent symptoms? Is there something in the water or inside the school? Or is it “all in their head?” The series examines the outbreak in LeRoy, NY, believed by some to be the most severe case of mass hysteria since the Salem Witch Trials. In his search for answers, Dan Taberski (9/12, Missing Richard Simmons, Running from Cops) explores other seemingly inexplicable events of the last few years – CIA officers being crippled with nausea and vertigo; cops OD'ing from exposure to fentanyl – and discovers they’re far more connected than we realize.
From Wondery and Pineapple Street Studios, this 7-part series forces us to grapple with the mysteries of our own minds, and reckon with a contagion that we thought was long dead, but may be the defining disorder of our time.

16 JUL 2024 · "How can someone do this and not come forward? It makes me believe this can't be a hit and run."
Early on the morning of 17 July 2002, a motorist traveling down Cashdollar Road in Pennsylvania's Butler County came upon what appeared to be two lifeless bodies Emergency personnel arrived shortly thereafter and learned that this was two local teenagers who'd been heading home late on a summer night, who appeared to have been hit by a vehicle and left for dead.
More than two decades later, though, questions linger. How had these two lifelong best friends ended up on the side of the road? And more importantly, who was responsible for putting them there?

BTK (Part Two: Revisited)
1 JUL 2024 · "The doctors tell us as long as he's being able to fantasize what he's done, he might not do it again. But the fantasy may wear off."
In the mid-1970s, a serial killer known as the BTK began to make his presence felt throughout Wichita. Sales of alarm systems in the area would skyrocket, as would the region's general sense of paranoia.
However, following his correspondence with law enforcement and the media at the end of the decade, the BTK grew silent. Years would pass without any word from the enigmatic killer, who investigators believed continued to lurk, waiting for his time to strike...

BTK (Part One: Revisited)
1 JUL 2024 · "How many people do I have to kill before I get my name in the paper or some national attention?"
Throughout the mid-1970s, a serial killer began to terrorize the residents of Wichita, Kansas. Preying upon men, women, and children - young and old - this individual defied all expectations by purposefully going against what criminal profilers were taught to believe.
After disappearing for a couple of years, this offender then committed a series of brazen attacks on young women inside their homes. Afterward, this offender began corresponding with police through the media, beginning a game of cat-and-mouse that would carry on for decades...

The Kauai Serial Killer
1 JUL 2024 · "We have now, since April, three violent crimes, all sexual in nature, and the victims seem to fit the same profile..."
Between April and August of 2000, three violent crimes shook the southwestern shores of Kauai. The fourth largest of the Hawaiian islands, this was a region that rarely saw violent crime on this scope. For it to happen three times in such a short amount of time was unheard of. In response, residents began fearing that they would be next.
As police struggled to ascertain who this strange attacker was, questions began to be raised about whether or not these three crimes were even related...

Eleustinian Mysteries
24 JUN 2024 · "For among the many excellent and indeed divine institutions which your Athens has brought forth and contributed to human life, none, in my opinion, is better than those mysteries..."
The Eleusinian Mysteries were ancient Greek rites held annually in Eleusis to honor the goddesses Demeter and Persephone. Spanning over two millennia, these ceremonies included secret rituals and the consumption of kykeon, promising initiates profound spiritual insights into life and death.
The exact nature of the Mysteries remains secret due to the vows of silence each initiate made. Scholars believe the rituals might have involved psychoactive substances, although their true origins and method remain unknown. These rites offered a transformative journey, their secrets continuing to intrigue and inspire millennia later...

Rickety Ranch
17 JUN 2024 · "The family is living in fear. They are constantly watching their back looking over their shoulder wondering when the next shoe is going to drop."
Rickety Ranch, an animal sanctuary in Hollis, New Hampshire, billed itself as a safe space for children of all ages to come together and learn about animals. Having been built slowly over time by co-owners Gary and Diane Bergeron on their 2.6 acre property, the Rickety Ranch accepted all with open arms and tried to promote positivity.
But in 2017, a strange extortion campaign started. First came letters. Then came physical acts of vandalism, which soon progressed into something more sinister...

Blake & London Deven
17 JUN 2024 · "How can a child be missing for two years - or even a second?"
On 19 January 2024, a 9-1-1 call was received by authorities in Fayetteville, North Carolina. The caller told dispatchers that her adopted son, 17-year-old Blake Deven, had gone missing. Strangely, though, she was unable to identify where she'd last seen him - or when. While police would originally label Blake a runaway, that would change in the months ahead.
Two months later, police were again called out to the Deven home on an unrelated matter. From there, however, it became apparent to investigators that something was amiss. Not only had Blake been missing for approximately two years, but they would determine that another family member of his, 27-year-old London Deven, had not been seen since 2019...

Alice Kyteler
7 APR 2024 · "Petronilla said she had several times at Alice's instigation and once in her presence, consulted demons and received answers."
Born into the bustling mercantile life of 13th century Kilkenny, Alice Kyteler was the offspring of a Flemish merchant and his Irish wife. Her early life was one of privilege and learning, a rarity for women in those times. But it was not just her family’s standing that would shape her destiny; it was her cunning, her charm, and her ambition that set the course of her life.
Alice Kyteler’s life, marked by prosperity and strategic marriages, took a dark turn in 1324 when she became the focal point of a historic trial for witchcraft. Her wealth and social standing, which had once shielded her, now made her a target for those who sought to make an example of her...
