The coroner said he couldn’t eat and cried for days, after recovering her body. This is the excruciating life and atrocious death of Lacey Fletcher. This case is one of the worst things I’ve ever heard, but Lacey’s story needs to be told. In telling it, we also have hope to avoid this ever happening to anyone else. EVER. AGAIN. This case is not as cut and dry as it seems on the surface. We are going to go over the facts of the case, as well as try to get some answers as to the...

In a small Michigan town, an online bully was terrorizing several middle school students for years, causing emotional and mental distress. The drama then started to ripple through the school, and outwards to the school staff and parents of the students. Soon the whole town seemed to know about this online campaign of terror. But who was the culprit? What did they want? And what was their motive? Join me today as we spill ALL the tea on this bizarre case. I am excited to be back in...

We are back back back back back again, in the 1700’s, for another Olden-Timey murder pamphlet case! Today’s case involves a mother and daughter, and one of their young apprentices. Get your dismemberment pants on, because it’s going to get gruesome. #mistressofthemacabre #mistressofthemacabrepodcast #truecrime #truecrimepodcast #mysteries #hauntings #darkhistory #badmedicine #cryptids #podcastvisuals #1700s #murder #crimes #yeoldendays #apprentices #bodyparts #sarahmetyard #murderph...

Put on your fancy feathered triangle hat, because we are talking in Old English today about two different murder cases from the 1700’s! Let us bid adieu to this century for a bit, and discuss a couple crimes of yesteryear. First we will discuss the case of Elizabeth Brownrigg, who tortured her apprentices with the help of her husband and son, leading to the death of a young girl. Then we will discuss the case of Johnathan Williamson, who held his wife captive and was convicted of mu...

Whether or not you have seen the cult classic, dark comedy film ‘Weekend at Bernie’s’ it doesn’t really matter. Because I am here to tell you about real life stories… of corpse puppetry. Today we cover a rash of crimes from Brazil, to the US, to Japan, where corpses are used in one way or another for financial gain.

Hello, my little Gremlins! Welcome to a super happy, cheerful, and festive Christmas episode!! *HEAVY SARCASM ALERT* Last year I had so much fun doing the Krampus episode, but this year I am here to bring you the most brutal, tragic, and horrific Christmas true crime case that I could think of. Because I love you. Turns out, a lot of podcasts have done this case, but listen. They didn’t do it like I’m gonna do it, so don’t even bother. I will give you every single detail, stitche...

This case is insane in its scope, victim count, and mishandling, and one that more people should know about. Yet it was only covered by ONE news source. Why is that? We will get into all of it, in this episode. A serial killer was convicted in 2022, but not before claiming the lives of at least 24 women in Dallas, Texas. The case was mishandled- to say the very LEAST- by everyone involved, including the police, the medical examiner, and the elderly care facilities in which these murder...

Today we are wrapping this series up and covering a lot of topics! These include the appendix, our skin, the digestive system, toenails, the abdomen, the nasal sinuses, the ACL, the Achilles tendon, how humans have way too many bones, our demanding diets, the immune system, and ‘junk’ DNA. Let’s discuss our quirks, thanks to good old evolution! #mistressofthemacabre #mistressofthemacabrepodcast #truecrime #truecrimepodcast #mysteries #hauntings #darkhistory #badmedicine #cryp...

Today we continue to shit talk arguably one of the most miraculous things nature ever created: the human body. It’s a miracle we even exist, but this is not that story. Today we are going to continue to discuss the many quirks and ‘errors’ of our bodies- things evolution didn’t get around to fixing. Today we cover the sternum, the neck and throat, the Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve, the collarbone, our poor aching joints, knees, the pelvis, testicles, the uterus, sperm, my arch nem...

The human body is a beautiful and miraculous thing, that can achieve unbelievable feats and at the same time have every cell and system operating without us even noticing. This is not that story. Today we are going to discuss the many quirks and ‘errors’ of our bodies- things evolution didn’t get around to fixing. Today we cover skulls and brain injuries, the worst case of skull injury I’ve ever heard in my life, our ribs which can be broken by coughing alone (and are pointy littl...

Today we dust off the records and scrolls of the Vatican, to get to the bottom of who the historical Giulia Tofana was. We also visit the ‘criminal magical underworld’ of 17th Century Europe, and I want to stay there forever. This is Part 2 of La Tofania, legendary poisoner, beauty maven, and Momager. For all photos, follow along on IG: https://www.instagram.com/mistressofthemacabrepod TikTok: tiktok.com/mistressofthemacabrepod YouTube: https://...

Giulia Tofana ran a very successful poison ring in 17th Century Italy, and her legend is still talked about today. She is called a martyr for abused women and an early feminist. But the folklore that swirls around her memory is full of disinformation and tall tales. Yes, she really did kill people. Over 600 men, allegedly. But was she a patron saint of the abused? Which parts of her story are real, and which have been exaggerated over time? Today we dive in to the story of La Tofania, and...

Today is the conclusion of this twisted and bloody tale! We will discuss the link between lycanthropy and lunar cycles, historical cases of lycanthropy, Peter Stumpp in popular culture, werewolves in the media, and all the possible theories of what the fuck was happening in this case, including the one I believe is closest to the truth. This is Part 3 of the Werewolf of Bedburg. For all photos, follow along on IG: https://www.instagram.com/mistressofthemacabrepod T...

We are back back back back again, discussing the case of Peter Stumpp! Today we will cover the witch and werewolf trials of the Middle Ages, the Malleus Maleficarum (The Hammer of Witches), German witch and werewolf hunters, other werewolf killers of that time period, and we will begin talking about a modern day affliction: Clinical Lycanthropy. Join me for this weird and Medieval episode! #mistressofthemacabre #mistressofthemacabrepodcast #truecrime #truecrimepodcast #myste...
