From (A)rsenic to (Z)ombies, Macabre digs grave deep into the dark history, deadly devices, and ghastly tales buried beneath the grim and gore of the past.  Your hosts Blaire &amp; Halley have a serious case of the “morbs” with a not- so- serious approach to macabre storytelling.  Macabre may not be suitable for all audiences. Listener discretion is advised.

Were the crimes influenced by demonic forces? On this episode of MACABRE, the Ladies of Macabre sit down with Laura Didio, investigative journalist, who explored the Amityville home with Ed and Lorraine Warren amongst other mediums and paranormal investigators to uncover these mysteries.

P is for Possession: The Case that Inspired the Exorcist Movie

From (A)rsenic to (Z)ombies, Macabre digs grave deep into the dark history, deadly devices, and ghastly tales buried beneath the grim and gore of the past. Your hosts Blaire & Halley have a serious case of the “morbs” with a not- so- serious approach to macabre storytelling. Macabre may not be suitable for all audiences. Listener discretion is advised.
