Let’s Talk About The Facts

The Facts are back! As we dust off the cobwebs, we’ve pulled out some friend-favorites to get the mood right for an all new season of questions without answers! This was one of our first episodes, Tinseltown’s own murder mansion turned time capsule is a story of local legend. After lying dormant for over sixty years, this strange house has its own story to tell, and we’ll dive into all of the details as Alex joins the windy roads and finds out exactly when Spaghettios debuted!

On Christmas Eve 2006, an angry man took the lives of many people at the Christmas party at his former in-law's house while wearing a Santa suit and carrying a package to disguise his weapons. Listen in as guest Nate Ruegger weighs in on what went on to lead up to this night, the tragic deaths of the party-goers, and the aftermath.

Grab the tissues as we jump into a story where every single turn could have been avoided and countless lives could have been saved, but to save money, people were viewed as a useless commodity. To lighten the heaviness that we bring you, we follow up with a personal anecdote from our guest, Rhona, about how her neighbor set their house on fire and her immediate response. Special appearances and huffs by Amie the Dog.

We welcome in Season 3 with a re-release of last year's spooky season fave, our 10 Urban Legends discussed and debunked. With guest Kelly Larson, we patchworked ten stories together and discussed if there was a basis in reality or a total fabrication of overactive imaginations. Did we make this a game? Of course! Join in and see if you can get 10/10! Tweet us @talkabtfacts and maybe we'll send out #hauntedornahnted stickers this time!

This week, Elizabeth and Nate discuss the case that inspired the film, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. Is it a mystery, or is it a clear misuse of power? Stay tuned after the story if you're a Disney fan! We went to Disney, and it was Elizabeth's first trip! Accompanied by Nate + many other pod guests, we braved the park and we talk about our exciting adventure! Tweet us what your favorite ride/experience is!

This week, Elizabeth tells yet another Arkansan tale of unsolved proportions, the Boys on the Tracks. Yanked from the 1980s archives, this story takes twists and turns from potential CIA involvement to police cover up. Whatever truly happened it still unknown. Nate Ruegger joins us all once again to find out what we know so far about this 30+ year old cold case.

Nate Ruegger is back again, and this time presents a case of Japanese confectionary confusion that only the 1980s can give! Get ready for the twists and turns, the ups and downs, the zigs and zags, told only in the way that Nate can tell, as we buckle up for safety on this absolutely bizarre and unprecedented case from the unsolved archives in the Japanese police history.

Get ready for the most chaotic storytelling yet! Shea Fairaday joins to talk about the Texarkana Moonlight Murders after an accidental hiatus of the LTATF team. Never caught, the Moonlight Murders were the source of many pop culture inspiration, but let's talk about the madness behind the media!

When did Nelson Mandela die? What in the Beren-sh*t is it? What do you mean there's news about the Lindbergh baby? Play along with Von and myself to see if you've fallen victim to one of the many common misconceptions, or if you're on the theory of an alternate universe, examples that there is a glitch in the Matrix!

Have you ever found yourself afraid of a toy, or looking at something lifelike for too long, thinking it blinked? Or having you seen the films of the Annabelle series or Child's Play? Well, today I bring to you, and our barely willing guest Von, the true stories behind them, the real Annabelle doll and the 117 year old OG doll of crime, Robert the Doll. Do you believe in ghost stories and haunted dolls? Whether or not you do, these stories might make you think twice before looking at the uncanny valley as just somewhat of a phenomenon, or perhaps we're biologically predisposed to fear things that look like us. But the question is- why? If you've got an opinion either way, let us know! Tweet us @talkabtfacts and tell us what you think!
