13 O’Clock Episode 62 – Vanished! Five Creepy Cases of Unsolved Missing Persons
Murders are horrific and terrifying, sure, but there’s something that’s somehow even creepier about people who simply vanish without a trace. Were they murdered, did they die in an accident, or did they wander off of their own accord? And how to make sense of the strange clues that they often leave behind? On this episode, Tom and Jenny are continuing their eerie October theme with several of the most unsettling missing persons cases of recent times, including the case of Tara Calico and the disturbing Polaroid found in a parking lot, the bizarre disappearance of a mother and daughter from the same place nearly a year apart, the eighteen-year-old boy who vanished after leaving work and whose abandoned car was discovered with the headlights on and a live puppy inside, and many other ominous and perplexing details about people who just up and disappeared one day. Fix your location definitively in space and time and settle in for episode 62.

13 O’Clock Episode 61 – Twins of Terror: June & Jennifer Gibbons, Ursula & Sabina Eriksson
Twins…they’re nature’s clones! Who among us twinless folk hasn’t wondered what it would be like to have an almost exact copy of ourselves living in our very homes? Sounds pretty neat until you hear about creepy shit like twinnery gone drastically awry, as in the two cases we’re discussing today. June and Jennifer Gibbons, known as “The Silent Twins,” would only speak to each other in a bizarre language no one else understood, and apparently had some weird symbiosis thing going on where one had to die so the other could live a normal life. Then there’s Sabina and Ursula Eriksson, twins who made headlines around the world when they suddenly flipped out at the same time and went merrily playing about in traffic, among many other terrifying shenanigans. Listen and reflect upon this double dose of disturbing twin-based weirdness…it’s 13 O’Clock, episode 61.

13 O’Clock Episode 60 – The Cleveland Torso Murders
It’s true crime time again on the show, kids, and today we’re discussing a particularly gruesome and infamous series of unsolved murders that also makes an appearance in Jenny’s brand new book, The Faceless Villain. The Cleveland Torso Murders were exactly what they claim on the tin: they happened in Cleveland in the 1930s, and most of the victims were found in varying states of grisly dismemberment. Many of the victims were never even identified, and the killer never was either, so hopefully that makes you sleep better at night. Gird your loins or other appropriate anatomy, because this one’s a tad icky, and if you’re watching on YouTube, I’ll slap a GROSS PHOTO WARNING right down here. Try to keep all your limbs attached as you settle in for episode 60 of 13 O’Clock.

13 O’Clock Episode 59 – A Haunting in Georgia: Wyrick House and Mr. Gordy
It’s been a while since we’ve done one of our reviews of A Haunting episodes, so we decided to go back to the beginning and delve into the case behind one of the pilot episodes, “A Haunting in Georgia” (which was also the basis for the horror movie A Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia). The Wyrick family begin to experience paranormal activity in their new home in Ellerslie, Georgia, mostly centering around their daughter Heidi seeing a friendly old man in the backyard who she called Mr. Gordy, as well as another man with blood on his shirt that she called Con. Later on, things got a bit more sinister with the arrival of a creepy hooded figure who seemed to wish the family harm. On this episode, Tom and Jenny talk about the episode of A Haunting as well as the witness accounts of the real case, and how it was (poorly) adapted to the big screen. Start your October off right with the ghostly, haunted 59th installment of 13 O’Clock.
