12. Fantasy Turned Murder: New Zealand's Heavenly Creatures

The cold-blooded killing of Honorah Parker Rieper is commonly known as the most infamous murder in New Zealand's history. Katie and Azra cover the case and the twisted fantasy world that Pauline and Juliet, the 15-year-old best friends who were responsible for the murder, would do anything to save. They also discuss the blatant homophobia of the media surrounding the case, the hysteria it led to, and the serious repercussions it had for LGBTQ+ people in New Zealand.

Ed & Lorraine Warren: Fact or Fiction | Tiny Tales 7

Azra tells you and Katie all about Ed & Lorraine Warren, the famous demonologist and clairvoyant couple most known for their work in the real life stories that inspired the Conjuring and Annabelle movies. This episode goes over who Ed & Lorraine were, how they built their brand, and goes over their most famous cases including Amityville, Annabelle, the Conjuring, and the Enfield Poltergeist. We also discuss how much (or little) Ed & Lorraine actually had to do with these cases, as well as what some skeptics have to say about their work.

Were Ed & Lorraine Warren truly doing good work in solving cases of hauntings, or were they simply building a business and hoping to make money off of people's naiveté? Listen now to find out!
