CRIME: The Bigfoot Murders

Episode 60

Friday, May 8, 2026 • Duration 40:15

In 1993, David Holthouse was working on a remote cannabis farm in California's Emerald Triangle when two panicked men burst into his cabin claiming three workers had been killed in the fields—torn apart by Bigfoot. Holthouse fled the next morning and spent 25 years trying to forget what he heard. But as an investigative journalist, he couldn't let it go. In this episode of Conspiracy Theories, Cults, and Crimes, Vanessa Richardson follows Holthouse's search for the truth behind the alleged murders. His investigation takes him deep into the Emerald Triangle, a region known as "The Black Hole" for its staggering rate of disappearances and unsolved crimes. What he uncovers isn't a cryptid tale—it's a story of racial violence, greed, and terror in one of America's most lawless communities, where the legend of Bigfoot was weaponized to mask something far more sinister.

Wednesday, May 6, 2026 • Duration 40:51

In the late 19th century, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn emerged in Britain as a secretive society devoted to ritual magic, mysticism, and hidden knowledge.

CONSPIRACY THEORY: The Mothman

Episode 58

Monday, May 4, 2026 • Duration 40:52

In the 1960s, residents of Point Pleasant, West Virginia reported sightings of a strange, winged figure with glowing red eyes, a creature that would become known as the Mothman. As encounters spread, so did fear, with witnesses describing eerie experiences and unexplained phenomena surrounding the sightings. In this episode of Conspiracy Theories, Cults, and Crimes, Vanessa Richardson examines the origins of the Mothman legend, the wave of reports that gripped the town, and the theories that attempt to explain what people believed they saw. From misidentified animals to supernatural warnings, the story quickly expanded beyond a local mystery. After the tragic collapse of the Silver Bridge in 1967, some began to believe the sightings were connected, transforming the Mothman into a symbol of omen and prophecy.
