The Skeleton Saint: Faith, Delusion, and Crime
Jan 1600:28:21Tap to summarizeIn this episode, we examine the disappearance of six-year-old Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez, a medically fragile child who was last seen months before authorities were alerted. What started as a routine welfare check turned into a disturbing investigation involving deception, alleged abuse, and a mother who fled the country just days after being questioned.But this story doesn’t end with a manhunt. As investigators uncovered the beliefs that the mother had, attention turned to a controversial and often misunderstood folk saint: La Santa Muerte. Through anthropology, history, and firsthand accounts, we explore whether this figure represents something sinister... or whether fear and cultural bias have distorted her meaning.This episode contains sensitive material and explores themes of child harm, belief, and justice. Listener discretion is strongly advised.

The Ghost Sickness: True Documented Cases of Mass Spiritual Possession in Malaysia
Oct 1700:20:26Tap to summarizeHorror strikes in the schools of rural Malaysia as girls suddenly begin screaming, claiming that there are evil spirits around them. And in a shoe factory, more women (up to 30 at a time) begin acting strangely and displaying supernatural strength. In another case, a Chinese family in Malaysia begins experiencing a spiritual possession; something that only a bomoh, a spiritual healer, can help with. What makes these creepy cases so bizarre is that they were studied by psychiatrists through interviews, analysis, and professional diagnosis. Even to this day, they are considered to be cases of mass spiritual possession.Get our newsletter here: https://bio.scary.fmFind Edwin on TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram as @edwincovHorrorStory.com
