  • Maxim Furek you are fake…yikes!

    Your regurgitation of every bad book and movie on the demonic is a joke. OMG you dislike the Warrens yet everything out of your mouth is verbatim from all of their work. There IS NOT an exorcist at every parish. Any priest can come by and bless your home. That is vastly different than calling in an exorcist. One cannot just splash themselves with holy water and a crucifix and be protected. I get tired of “experts” who make mockery of my Catholic faith.

    I’m a paid subscriber to Crawlspace/Missing but continue to get endless ads. Have tried every conceivable way to communicate this but ads keep coming and are completely ruining content. Please please sort this out.

  • Frustrated

    I used to enjoy this show and I still do enjoy the new episodes but they very frequently post old episodes on both missing and crawlspace and don’t usually inform you if the episode is old so I find myself halfway through an episode realizing I already listened to this episode months ago. I get very annoyed that I wasted my time. I might stop listening to both shows because I don’t want to waste my time and feel a little like I’m being tricked into listening to an episode more than once maybe fo... more

  • Fake callers

    Apparently this show changed its format recently,..they now take “callers” to share their stories..fine,..but it’s obvious the callers are scripted..I say obviously, but perhaps some people could be fooled into thinking it’s real,..but if you listen with a critical ear, you quickly realize that the back and forth is too smooth and it just doesn’t fly..

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

646 // Missing Rhianna Barreau
Q: Can you tell us a little bit about how you became aware of this story?
Claire Murphy explains her personal connection to the case through her upbringing in South Australia and her work with True Crime Conversations, which led her to cover Rhianna Barreau's disappearance and related Australian crime history.
648 // Oakland County Child Murders - 1 of 2
Q: How did the coverage of these cases evolve after the initial investigations began to unfold?

649 // Oakland County Child Murders - 2 of 2
Q: Is there any hope for this case to officially get solved at any point in the future?
There may be a possibility to revive the case through newer forensic methods, like touch DNA on surviving items, and by reexamining older evidence, though it remains uncertain given the historical gaps and extinctions of some DNA.
647 // The Satanic Conspiracy Films w/ Dr. Adam Jortner
Q: Can you introduce yourself and a little bit about your background, please?
Adam Jortner introduces himself as a historian and professor, focusing on the history of witchcraft, miracles, and monsters, and notes his work on the Slash and Grab series about 1980s horror films.

Q: What went into the decision to write the book?
