Kerri takes us to Indianapolis, 1977, where a man walked into a mortgage office with a sawed-off shotgun and a grudge. Tony Kiritsis was convinced mortgage broker Dick Hall had cheated him out of his land, so he took Hall hostage with a “dead man’s wire,” a shotgun wired straight to the back of Hall’s head.

Donna heads to Staten Island to a gorgeous Victorian mansion with a very ugly history. Kreischer Mansion was built as a wedding gift by a wealthy brick-maker, but tragedy moved in almost as fast as the family did. Generations later, the house became the scene of something even darker, and the people who’ve spent time inside swear it never really emptied out.

This week’s Sinister Sightings has messages from the other side, a childhood crime that involves a very determined neighbor and a getaway bike, and a tiny sign from a lost loved one that showed up exactly when it was needed.

We’ve got a medium delivering a message she shouldn’t have known, dreams that may be more than dreams, a five-year-old getting fingerprinted by police, and one little dime that means absolutely everything. Creep it real, and don’t get scared!

Donna takes us to Cokeville, Wyoming, in 1986, where a man walked into an elementary school with a homemade bomb and took nearly 150 kids and teachers hostage. When that bomb went off, the outcome made no sense on paper.

Kerri brings us to postwar Tokyo and the story of Miyuki Ishikawa, a respected midwife trusted with the most vulnerable babies in the city. What was actually happening inside her maternity home is one of the darkest cases Kerri has ever covered.

This week’s Sinister Sightings is packed with creepy listener stories, paranormal experiences, and one story that goes completely off the rails.

We’re heading to the allegedly haunted Road to Nowhere in Bryson City, North Carolina, where an abandoned tunnel and a broken government promise have helped create one of the eeriest spots in the Great Smoky Mountains. Then, one listener shares emotional visits from deceased family members through incredibly vivid dreams, while another takes us back to a childhood camping trip that turned into a nightmare.

And then… there’s Frank. A creepy stranger, a mysterious locked shed, a little pink teddy bear, and a summer job making homemade concrete blocks that gets more horrifying with every single detail.

Ghost stories, haunted places, creepy encounters, and horrifying listener tales, just another week of Sinister Sightings.

Creep it real, and don’t get too scared. 👻

We're switching things up this week! Instead of our usual one true crime and one paranormal story, we're going all in on one of the most infamous cases in American history: Lizzie Borden.

Kerri takes us back to Fall River, Massachusetts, on a sweltering August morning in 1892, when Andrew and Abby Borden were found dead inside their own home. She walks us through the family tension, the strange behavior, the evidence (and the lack of it), and the trial that had the whole country picking sides.

Donna picks up where the history leaves off. The Borden house is now a bed and breakfast where you can actually spend the night, and guests and staff have reported footsteps, voices, and some things that are a lot harder to explain.

Ouija boards, mimics, stalkers, and a ghost who may have actually been trying to help. This week’s Sinister Sightings brings us a spirit stuck in 1864, something calling from upstairs in Mom’s voice, a terrifying reminder that sometimes the living are scarier than the dead, and a haunted Virginia townhouse.

Basically, trust your gut, don’t follow the voice, and maybe leave the Ouija board ALONE.

Donna takes us to Merion, Pennsylvania, where the General Wayne Inn served travelers for nearly 300 years and, if you believe the stories, some of them never checked out. She digs into the Revolutionary War–era ghosts, the staff who swore something was sharing the building with them, and why this old tavern has been called one of the most haunted in America.

Kerri covers Sherri Papini, a young mom from Redding, California, disappeared while out on a run and was found 22 days later on Thanksgiving Day with an account of being abducted that launched a massive search for her captors. Kerri walks through what investigators uncovered in the years that followed, and the real people who were affected along the way.

This week’s Sinister Sightings has a little bit of everything: a mimic with a McDonald’s alibi, loved ones finding their way back to say goodbye, a creepy-ass Peekaboo puppy, and a dad who apparently made terrorizing his children a full-time hobby. Plus, we learn that sometimes the scariest monsters aren’t paranormal at all.

Kerri covers the murders of Rori Hache and Kandis Fitzpatrick, walking through how a routine plumbing call in an Oshawa basement apartment in 2017 blew open a case that reached back nearly a decade to a woman who'd never been found. She digs into how Adam Strong went from a stunned 911 call to two convictions, and why one family is still fighting for the answer they were promised.

Donna tells us about the Battersea Poltergeist, the mysterious 1956 haunting that started when a silver key showed up on 15 year old Shirley Hitchings' pillow and didn't fit a single lock in the house. She gets into the rapping noises, the notes, and the spirit who called himself "Donald" to sort out what actually happened at 63 Wycliffe Road.
