Did you yearn for those weekend airings of “Are You Afraid of the Dark” or “Unsolved Mysteries” as a child? Then this show is especially for you. An investigative journalist and a parapsychologist go head-to-head in this irreverent competition to captivate other spooky nerds like themselves.

With each episode, hosts Kimberly and Edward are given a different topic to research. Both receive one week to dive into archives and historical essays to find the TRUE crime, paranormal event, or utterly strange occurrence which best fits their assigned theme. The pair take turns presenting their stories to a panel of reluctant guest judges for feedback, but ultimately it’s the listeners who pick which terrifying, tragic, or totally bizarre true story will be crowned victorious.

This showcase for darker narratives rarely told is brought to you by Hottest Hell Tours, New Orleans’ top-rated boutique true crime and paranormal history experience.
