Necronomipod

Grab a beer and join us tonight as we cover the folklore of Trinidad! We're diving into six figures from one of the most culturally mixed islands in the Caribbean — the Soucouyant, a skin-shedding vampire who flies through the night as a ball of fire; the Douens, faceless spirits of unbaptized children with backwards feet; La Diablesse, a beautiful woman with a cow's hoof hidden under her dress who lures men into the forest; Gang Gang Sara, a woman who flew across the Atlantic from Africa and lost her power; the Duppy Baby, a roadside spirit that grows heavier the longer you hold it; and the silk cotton tree that connects all of them. West African tradition, French Catholic structure, and centuries of survival all compressed into the stories people in Trinidad still tell their kids today.

Jan Broberg was kidnapped twice — by the same man — while her parents stood by and did nothing. In this episode of Necronomipod, we cover the true crime case behind the Netflix documentary Abducted in Plain Sight: how Robert Berchtold groomed Jan Broberg over years, manipulated her entire family, and carried out not one but two abductions.
We break down how Berchtold gained the family's trust, the psychological manipulation and control he built over Jan, how the first kidnapping unfolded, and how he managed to insert himself back into their lives for a second abduction. We also cover the FBI investigation, the eventual reckoning, and where Jan Broberg is today.

Grab a beer and join us as we head to Taiwan and cover the Wu family exorcism case! In 2005 a horrifying series of events unfolded when a family became convinced that one of their own was possessed by an evil spirit. This spiraled into days of ritual abuse, beatings, and starvation, all carried out in the name of saving a soul. We'll go through the timeline step by step, explain the religious beliefs involved, including Taoist folk practices, written fú charms, and the sudden claim that Guanyin Bodhisattva had taken over. From there, we'll dig into how an entire household lost touch with reality at the same time. Then we'll wrap up the investigation, the arrests, and how the courts tried to make sense of this crime.
