The 5 Boys Who NEVER CAME BACK!!! (Scares Us)

We're back, batches!  Follow along as Katya and I tackle the tragic tale of the 5 Boys Who Never Came Back ...



We start out the episode shouting out to our Suspiria episode ... check it out ...






Katya suggests that we use our episode about "The Lottery" to teach the children ...


We push my play (some more) ... (Click here to buy one of your very own!)

Someone needs to compile all our potential band names that we come up with for us.  That someone is not me, and probably not Katya either. #theimpericalbetters

Then, leading into our reader-chosen topic (shout out to Joanna!), we reference our episode on the Dyatlov Pass and the film adaptation we haven't seen ...


Huh.  It was giant glowing-eyed ice monsters all along.

All right; buckle up, kitty cats.  Here ... we ... go!!!

THE DISTURBING TALE OF THE 5 BOYS WHO NEVER CAME BACK ...



Follow this link to Strange Outdoors, a blog about "mysterious stories" (and this one qualifies ...) -- it has maps and photos and some videos that will shed a bit more light on the story for you.

Here's the link to the original story in the Washington Post.

The cover of the Night Creatures volume from The Enchanted World!







Rawhead and Bloody Bones.  This is the worst!


Black Annis, the hag who skins children!


Nadilla, the vampire ghoul!  This book was advertised  on television a lot when I was a child, and I vividly remember this particular illustration.  It's freaky as hell that she isn't even looking at him as she attacks him!


The Tale of 5 Boys Who Never Came Back Scares Us


Hello Dear Listeners,

Sorry for our brief break but we had to go have some summer fun!  Fear not!  We are back this week with episode 20 and what better way to celebrate this milestone than with a listener suggested topic? Our wonderful listener Joanna suggested this weeks topic, and we LOVE IT!!

This week Katya and Laramie discuss the story of the 5 boys who never came back.  Much like our Dyatlov Pass episode this story has mountains, tragic deaths, and more theories with no answers than you can handle.  So strap in for a sad and scary tale about more mountains that you should probably stay far far away from.

We hope you are having a great summer full of fun and adventure dear listeners!  See you all in two weeks!

The Birds (Birds! Birds! Birds! Birds! Birds! Birds!) Scare Us!


BIRDS! BIRDS! BIRDS! BIRDS! BIRDS! BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRDS! (cha cha cha)

Teen Wolf Scares Us


The Suspiria Remake Is Coming!


But it looks good, I promise.  Tilda appears especially disturbing.  Plus hair and fingers, fingers, fingers.

(And if you want some Suspiria background -- for y'nerves -- check out our episode discussing the ins and outs of dance school, iconography, and what it means to be in an undercover coven: click here.)

The Death of LaVena Johnson Scares Us


Hello Dear Listeners,

We've received so many wonderful messages from some of you and want to extend our sincere thanks. You are all what make this podcast great!  Please continue to write to us and let us know what you think or tell us your spooky stories.  We have truly enjoyed our past two episodes sharing scary stories with friends, and discussing a horror classic with The Birds.  This weeks episode is much less fun and so very tragic in the way that only true events can be.

Join us this week as we discuss the beautiful life and horrific death of PFC LaVena Johnson.  We have a long discussion about the American military, and their alleged involvement in what appears to be a very suspicious death.  If you want to learn even more about the events we discuss in this episode please look into some of the wonderful independent journalism surrounding the Johnson family's struggle to learn what happened to their daughter.  Our deepest respect, and sympathy goes out to the Johnson family.

Please remember to stay safe dear listeners.  We love you all and sincerely hope the world changes for the better.
