LISTENER DISCRETION IS ADVISED: CONTENT MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR SOME

Special note from Farrah - hey guys! A few hours late on dropping this episode because a.) it was a super long recording to have to go through and edit b.) if you know me, you know I add sound effects, music, etc c.) if you know me, you know if I don't like a word that I say, I will re-record the whole paragraph lol d.) I don't publish shit. Since I was up until 3 a.m. finishing the editing, I will post the "Unzip the Latest Episode" info between Sunday and Monday because there is A LOT that I want to share with you - anyhoo, I hope you all enjoy the episode! Love ya!

Join hosts Farrah and Courtney as they delve into the chilling tale of Charles Manson and the Manson Family. They unravel the infamous crimes committed by the cult, from its inception to the haunting Tate and LaBianca murders, with special narrations from ex-Manson family member, Linda Kasabian. The hosts share personal updates and draw attention to the importance of responsible winter driving in their "What's Haunting Us" segment and also discuss a true villain, Peter Nygard, the 82-year-old fashion mogul who has been recently charged with a laundry list of crimes including sexual assault and trafficking. But, this isn't even the half of his disturbing misdeeds! You HAVE to hear what he did!

Moreover, the discussions get even eerier as they examine the theory of evil forces influencing people, focusing on figures like Chris Watts, Susan Atkins, Leslie Van Houten, Patricia Krenwinkel, and Tex Watson of the Manson Family. The series culminates with Farrah and Courtney sharing their fascination with the paranormal elements linked with the Manson cases, including alleged hauntings at the infamous Omen House on Cielo Drive. An appeal for support and an exciting sneak peek into a second part focusing on the detailed paranormal aftermath of the Manson Family crimes concludes this riveting Studio Sinister special.
