EPISODE 136 - The Jim Twins

Send us a textThe case of the Jim Twins—identical twins separated at birth and reunited decades later to discover they’d lived almost identical lives—throws a fascinating spotlight on the age-old nature vs. nurture debate. From marrying women with the same name to having the same job, hobbies, and even naming their dogs the same, their bizarrely parallel lives raise serious questions about how much of our personality, behavior, and choices are hardwired in our genes versus molded by the environment we grow up in. Support the showThank you for listening.

EPISODE 134 - Jeni Haynes The Woman With 2682 Personalities

Send us a textJeni Haynes is a remarkable woman who survived years of horrific abuse at the hands of her father by developing over 2,500 distinct personalities—a psychological defence mechanism known as Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). These alters, ranging from a tough protector named Muscles to a little girl called Symphony, helped her endure the unendurable. In a landmark legal case, Jeni and several of her alters bravely testified in court, leading to her father’s conviction and a 45-year prison sentence. Refusing to be defined by her trauma, Jeni went on to earn a PhD in criminology and psychology, wrote a powerful memoir (The Girl in the Green Dress), and became a voice for survivors of abuse. Her story is not just one of survival—it’s a mind-blowing triumph of resilience, intellect, and the extraordinary ways the human brain protects itself. Support the showThank you for listening.

EPISODE 133 - The Enfield Poltergeist

Send us a textThe Enfield Poltergeist was one of Britain’s most infamous hauntings, kicking off in 1977 in a sleepy council house in Enfield, North London—because of course it did. The Hodgson family, particularly 11-year-old Janet, found themselves smack in the middle of what can only be described as a paranormal circus: furniture flipping itself over, knocking sounds echoing through walls, toys flying across rooms, and even Janet allegedly levitating like something out of The Exorcist. Naturally, the press and paranormal investigators swarmed in, including Maurice Grosse and Guy Lyon Playfair from the SPR, who became convinced the activity was genuine. Skeptics, though, pointed fingers at mischievous kids and attention-seeking chaos. But whether it was real or just a teenage prank gone nuclear, the case remains a ghost-hunting classic—equal parts creepy, controversial, and absolutely bonkers. Support the showThank you for listening.
