Season 4, Episode 4 — “Ed and Lorraine Warren & The Dyatlov Pass Incident”

Before ghost-hunting was trendy, there were Ed and Lorraine Warren — the controversial couple who claimed to chase demons, document possessions, and inspire Hollywood’s biggest horror hits. In the first half of this episode, we pull back the curtain on the Warrens’ most infamous cases, their legacy in the world of the paranormal, and the skeptics who say they were more show than spirit. Were they gifted demonologists—or master storytellers?

Then, we shift gears to one of the most chilling unsolved mysteries of the 20th century: the Dyatlov Pass Incident. In 1959, nine hikers set off into the Russian wilderness and never returned. What searchers found still defies logic—mangled bodies, strange injuries, radiation, and fear frozen into their final moments. Was it a natural disaster? A government experiment? Or something darker?

This episode blends hauntings, horror, and a whole lot of cold truth. Buckle up—it’s about to get weird.

In this week’s episode of Humor, Haunts, and Homicide, things get real dark—spiritually and psychologically.

Josh takes us inside one of the most disturbing paranormal cases in American history: The Smurl Family Hauntings. For years, The Smurl family battled a malevolent force in their Pennsylvania duplex. From unexplained stench and shadowy figures to violent physical attacks, this case had it all—and it drew the attention of famed demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren. But was it truly paranormal… or something else?

Then, Dylan dives into one of Canada’s most haunting real-life mysteries: the suspicious death of Cindy James. A nurse who reported being stalked and attacked for years, Cindy was later found dead—bound, drugged, and dumped. Authorities called it suicide. But everything about the scene screamed otherwise. Was Cindy the victim of a sadistic stalker, or was her death a final cry for help from a tortured mind?

Get ready—this episode is eerie, tragic, and full of WTF moments.

🎧 Season 4, Episode 2: Steel, Spirits, and a Killer in Costume

In this week’s chilling double feature, we’re diving into one of the most haunted industrial sites in America — and a murder so bizarre, it could’ve been pulled straight from a horror flick.

👻 First, we crank up the heat at Birmingham’s infamous Sloss Furnaces, where the echoes of molten steel and human suffering still linger. From horrifying accidents to the legend of “Slag,” this haunted hotspot is a terrifying reminder of what’s been left behind in the smoke and iron.

🎭 Then we head to Florida for the case that sounds like a bad joke — but turned deadly fast. In 1990, a woman answered her front door to find a clown holding balloons and flowers… and was fatally shot. The Florida Clown Murder remains one of the most bizarre and jaw-dropping cold cases in true crime history.

You’ll laugh. You’ll scream. You’ll side-eye every clown you see for the rest of your life.

🔪 True crime. Haunted history. Bad jokes. That’s just how we do it here at Humor, Haunts, and Homicide.

👉 New episodes drop every Wednesday.

🎙️ Next week: We head to Pennsylvania for the deeply unsettling Smurl Family Hauntings, followed by the disturbing and unsolved death of Cindy James — a woman stalked by either a killer… or her own unraveling mind.
