The Bizarre Case of Carl Tanzler
The Dark Masquerade
10/31/22 • 10 min
Happy Halloween!! Grab that bowl of candy, get cozy, and join me for this weird tale of one Carl Tanzler. Carl was a obsessed with a woman by the name of Maria Elena Milagro de Hoyos and that obsession drove him to do some pretty wild things after her death.
Nancy Knuckles
The Dark Masquerade
06/27/23 • 37 min
Nancy Knuckles was the oldest of three children and had it pretty rough in her early childhood. On more than one occasion, her and her siblings witnessed their father brutalizing their mother until he was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and she finally divorced him. Nancy would grow into what seemed like an ordinary teenager, but her adult life would prove to be anything but ordinary. Unfortunately, she grew up to be an abusive mother of three despite the religious facade she wore. The mistreatment of her children and their lack of proper parental guidance made them angry and callous. In the end, at least one of Nancy's children would get their revenge.

Lake Crescent
The Dark Masquerade
11/21/22 • 25 min
Well, this episode went in a different direction than I intended, but I started down this rabbit hole and here we are. Lake Crescent in the state of Washington is an absolutely beautiful body of water with plenty of hiking trails to keep you active and busy. It just so happens to have a darker history; from landslides and car wrecks to murder and even making it on more than a few haunted hike lists...

Gallego Murders (Part 3)
The Dark Masquerade
10/28/22 • 42 min
This is it!! The final installation of the Gallego Murders! Gerald Gallego and Charlene Williams weren't done adding victims to their already too long list when we left off last. This episode is a little longer than the previous ones, but I'm finally giving you the conclusion to this whole ordeal. I hope it was worth the wait...

Werewolves (Part 1)
The Dark Masquerade
01/12/22 • 15 min
In todays episode, I cover two infamous cases in European werewolf folklore: The Beast of Gévaudan who terrorized the people of southern France between the years of 1764-1767 and the Werewolf of Bedburg who was active during the years of 1564-1589.
This episode contains brief descriptions of situations that may be disturbing for some listeners.
Covina Massacre: REMASTERED
The Dark Masquerade
12/31/22 • 20 min
It was December 24, 2008 when a murderous Santa attacked the Oretga household in Covina, CA. What was meant to be a very merry Christmas Eve party turned into a nightmare for all who were attending.
While I had every intention of releasing this episode a week before I was able, I'm glad I still got it out (barely) before December was over!! This is an add free and remastered version of episode #1. I figured after a year of doing this, it was time to fix the episode I was really unhappy with.
This episode also contains a couple of announcements. One of those is the e-mail that I finally set up for the podcast. You can oficially contact me at:

I hope everyone had a happy holiday season and I wish you all a wonderful new year!
Dorothy Jane Scott
The Dark Masquerade
01/26/22 • 13 min
In this episode I cover the bizarre disappearance of Dorothy Jane Scott. After being stalked and harassed by an unknown man, Dorothy went missing on May 28th, 1980 under very strange circumstances and to this day, this case remains unsolved.
Haunted Universities (Part 2)
The Dark Masquerade
06/12/23 • 31 min
For this second half of Haunted Universities, I talk about Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. Not only was part of this campus once an insane asylum, but there was a fairly infamous true crime case that occurred there as well. Between hauntings and a possible pentagram made up of cemeteries, the Ohio University (and really just the Athens area as a whole) is full of strange happenings.

A Dark Masquerade Update
The Dark Masquerade
09/26/22 • 7 min
Heeeey... I am aware it has been literal MONTHS since my abrupt leave of absence. I had no intentions of taking that long off, but life apparently had other plans. I wanted to give you guys an update on how I have been and where I currently stand with the future of this podcast.
I am truly sorry for my unannounced departure in the middle of an extremely brutal case, I promise I am going to finish the Gallego Murders and give y'all some closure on that one...
As always, I appreciate each and everyone of you and I appreciate your continued support even during my prolonged silence.
Covina Massacre
The Dark Masquerade
12/24/21 • 16 min
For this first episode, I decided to give you a holiday themed tidbit. It was December 24, 2008 when a murderous Santa attacked the Oretga household in Covina, CA. What was meant to be a very merry Christmas Eve party turned into a nightmare for all who were attending.
This being my first episode, I’m still learning a lot! I promise, my speed and editing will get better with time. Try not to judge me too harshly on this first one.
