The Chilling Story of HINTERKAIFECK, Germany's Most Famous UNSOLVED Crime
SERIOUSLY STRANGE | Hosted by Rob Gavagan
06/20/22 • 43 min
On Friday, March 31, 1922, Maria Baumgartner arrived at the Gruber family farm in wooded, rural Bavaria to start her new job as the Gruber family's maid. The position had been vacant for over six months, so the farmhouse was undoubtedly in need of a good cleaning.
But little did Maria know that within hours of setting to work scrubbing months' worth of grime off of the family's floors and windows, she would also become a victim of one of Germany's most brutal unsolved mass murders.

Robert Wone's Twisted End & The Ones Who Got Away With It
SERIOUSLY STRANGE | Hosted by Rob Gavagan
12/31/22 • 22 min
A man, tired from a full day’s work and unprepared to make a long drive home without some rest, is invited to come and spend the night at the home of three of his good friends. Around two hours later, the man is dead, his body surrounded by evidence of deranged foul play. The three friends have no idea what happened or who could’ve done such a thing, but investigators soon realize that certain aspects of the crime aren’t making sense, and the way in which the man died...is disturbing, to say the least.

Ronald Gene Simmons: A Christmas NIGHTMARE
SERIOUSLY STRANGE | Hosted by Rob Gavagan
12/23/22 • 18 min
When we think of Santa Claus, we typically think of a big, jolly man with a bushy white beard and a joyous smile plastered across his face as he delivers presents to countless children. Ronald Gene Simmons looked somewhat similar to Santa—but there were some sinister differences. For Simmons didn’t come bearing presents or holiday delight. No, his loved ones would find only terror within him, as he unleashed darkness inside himself so twisted and evil, it still sends a winter chill through the veins of any who hear his story.

Death — Some people believe it’s the end of existence, and others believe it’s just the next step. It’s one of the things you can control AND can’t control at the same time.
