Hi everyone! We are going on hiatus either for a couple of weeks or until April. We need some time to get the rest of our lives in order.

Thank you for your patience and understanding, and stay creepy. Love, Thomas and Sparkie If you want to contact us, email us at creepylifepodcast@gmail.com --- Support this podcast:...

This week's episode is short and secret. Thomas describes Yale's secret society, Skull and Bones. Multiple presidents and other leaders have been members. Do they control every major event that happens in the world? This episode also shows a lot of weird insight into the hosts' brains, kitty input, and bad jokes (as usual).

Thomas's long-awaited hometown murder episode is here! With his connections to Falls City, he was able to get help on his research for this topic - from the murderer's sister!

This week, Sparkie and Thomas head to Arlington, Texas to discuss the urban legends of the River Legacy Park area. This place has mega bad vibes. Thomas does a bad/great Zak Bagans impersonation and Sparkie laughs awkwardly at weird times. Yay! PS. We forgot to mention it in the episode, but Sparkie did double-check the word "hobo." As far as we can tell, it's not derogatory in this context, but please know regardless we have no ill will towards the homeless. ❤ Email us at creepylifepodcast@gmail.com and stay creepy!

This week, Sparkie takes over an odd-numbered episode with the weird, disturbing, and depressing tale of Elisa Lam. This episode includes lots of talk about mental health, autism, and medication; unsolicited medical hot takes from two definitely real doctors (or not); and numerous theories about what happened to the young woman in the water tank, including, of course, aliens.

THIS EPISODE IS NOT FOR CHILDREN. Or anyone if you ask Thomas. TW for lots of suicide, abortion, cannibalism, and general awfulness. The views of this cult are not our views. Today we cover our first cult! The Church of Euthanasia lead by Chris Korda is cringy at best. Their idea was to be as disgusting as possible to get media attention. Thomas says their motto should have been, "peace, love, and blow your brains out." And yet somehow the leader is still alive to this day? Seems hypocritical. Listen at your own risk. Seriously.

Did you know that there was a cannibal outlaw/cowboy? Neither did Sparkie! Turns out, he’s pretty awful, as you might have guessed. Today, Thomas tells about Levi Boone Helm, the Kentucky Cannibal.

Today’s episode is a big one. Sparkie shares her take on the Hinterkaifeck farm murders (in old, I'm talkin' old Bavaria). Thomas has too much fun with his German accent.

We've all made poor decisions; told a lie that got us in trouble, snuck out of the house, or wished harm on someone who didn't deserve it. Today's case is a good example of how not to be. Sparkie tells Thomas the tragic life story of the Pan family and both give unsolicited opinions about a lot of things. Enjoy!

This is a weird one! Thomas shares the tale of the Jersey Devil, which is the strangest combination of animal parts imaginable. Sparkie is feeling VERY punny and silly in this episode so prepare for lots of laughs and confusion. (We also had some issues with recording for the first part, so the levels are just a little wonky.
