This October episode of Morbid dives into the eerie and enigmatic tale of the Eddy brothers, two 19th-century Vermont mediums whose supernatural seances attracted both fervent believers and fierce skeptics. The story unfolds as a blend of haunted family legacy, spiritualist mania, and a dramatic reversal by a once-skeptical journalist who ends up becoming one of their most powerful defenders.
In this back-to-school-themed episode of Morbid, hosts Ash Kelley and Alaina Urquhart (dressed as Miss Trunchbull and Miss Frizzle) dive into chilling listener-submitted tales of haunted schools, ranging from ghostly basketballs to axe-wielding old men and phantom children. The stories blend humor, horror, and heartfelt moments, culminating in a fiery end to a particularly cursed college house.
In this special book club episode of Morbid, hosts Ash Kelley, Alaina Urquhart, and guest Richard Chizmar dive into Chizmar’s Boogeyman trilogy, discussing the eerie realism of his fictionalized memoirs, the thrill of blurring truth and fiction, and the emotional vulnerability of writing about real people and places.
This episode of Morbid examines the tragic case of Anneliese Michel, a young German woman in the 1970s who suffered from severe mental illness and epilepsy but was believed by her family and priests to be demonically possessed. After enduring 67 exorcism rituals over nine months, she died from starvation and dehydration, leading to a manslaughter trial of her parents and the priests involved.
This episode of Morbid dives into the tragic and harrowing case of Anneliese Michel, a devout German Catholic teenager in the 1970s whose worsening mental and physical health was interpreted by her family as demonic possession. Despite multiple doctors diagnosing her with epilepsy and psychiatric issues, her parents pursued exorcism after priests repeatedly dismissed claims of possession—until one finally agreed. The story is set up as a two-part series, with part one detailing her early life, medical decline, hallucinations, and growing religious paranoia.
The Morbid podcast episode covers the harrowing 1913 murder of 13-year-old factory worker Mary Phagan in Atlanta and the wrongful conviction and lynching of her employer, Leo Frank, a Jewish man whose trial was marred by racism, antisemitism, and a corrupt justice system. The case culminated in Frank’s 1915 lynching by a mob and a 1986 posthumous pardon after a witness finally came forward.
Daniel Robinson, a bright and determined geology graduate born with one hand, vanished in 2021 after leaving a work site in the Arizona desert. Despite his car being found overturned three miles away weeks later—under suspicious circumstances—the case remains unsolved, with evidence suggesting foul play, mishandled investigation, and possible staging.
The second part of the Morbid podcast episode dives into the trial and aftermath of Michael Peterson, accused of murdering his wife Kathleen Peterson in 2001, a case complicated by the exhumation of another woman, Elizabeth Ratliff, who died under eerily similar circumstances a decade earlier. The trial exposed Michael’s bisexuality, financial motives, and a controversial blood spatter analyst, ultimately leading to a conviction, later overturned due to misconduct, and an Alford plea that freed him without admitting guilt.
