25. Part 2 of 2 | THE SATANIST KILLER : The Sean Sellers Case | True Crime Scary Stories
28:03||Ep. 25In 1986, 16-year-old Sean Sellers shocked the nation when he murdered his parents as they slept—just six months after killing a convenience store clerk in what he claimed was a Satanic ritual. Sellers insisted he was possessed by a demon named Ezurate and under the influence of devil worship, role-playing games, and occult teachings. His case became a lightning rod during the height of the Satanic Panic, raising disturbing questions about belief, mental illness, and the justice system. This is the true story of Sean Sellers—America’s so-called “Satanist Killer.”SURVEYObscurata Discussed FACEBOOK GROUPThe BOOKBY US A COFFEESubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITESource Information:https://www.oyez.org/cases/1998/98-8804https://murderpedia.org/male.S/s/sellers-sean.htmhttps://web.archive.org/web/20010413175220/http://www.ccadp.org/seansellers.htmhttps://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1999-feb-05-mn-4867-story.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/1999/02/05/us/oklahoma-executes-man-for-slayings-committed-at-16.htmlhttps://www.independent.co.uk/news/oklahoma-executes-bornagain-killer-1068540.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_Sellershttps://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1003599https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/stories/sean-sellershttps://www.tulsaworld.com/news/sean-sellers-29-executed-by-lethal-injection/article_95efed6e-9b8e-5fc7-bcfd-3df6f8f5c5cd.htmlhttps://www.apnews.com/general-news-65c8f6c0fc5c80bc17b7c1d5fbc7ee1eThanks so much for listening, and I'll catch up with you again next Thursday.Sarah & Rog xx24.

25:41||Ep. 23In February 1993, Air Force officer Gary Sudbrink received a series of eerie phone calls at his parents’ home in New York. The voice on the line—mechanical, distorted—seemed to know intimate details about Gary’s life and warned him of hidden dangers. The calls came shortly after a UFO sighting and left behind a chilling mystery: who, or what, was really on the other end of the line?

Part 2 of 2 | THE BLACK COAST VANISHINGS : Piha’s Haunting Mystery | True Scary Stories
24:32||Ep. 21In the shadow of Lion Rock, the seaside village of Piha has become the setting for one of New Zealand’s most unsettling mysteries. Since 1992, six people have vanished without a trace along its black-sand beaches and windswept cliffs — including a young woman last seen speaking to a streetlight before walking into the night. Some cases hint at tragic missteps, others at something far more sinister. With theories ranging from mental illness to murder to Māori legend, the Black Coast Vanishings have left a community divided and afraid. This is the story of Piha — a place where beauty hides danger, and people disappear.SURVEYObscurata Discussed FACEBOOK GROUPThe BOOKBY US A COFFEESubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITESource Information:https://www.odt.co.nz/lifestyle/magazine/black-coast-vanishingshttps://www.hauntedauckland.com/site/piha-beach-hauntings/https://justwatch.com/nz/tv-show/the-black-coast-vanishingshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Iraena_Asherhttps://newzealandmissing.wordpress.com/2015/08/10/cherie-vousden-missing-person-piha-2012/https://interactives.stuff.co.nz/2019/05/black-coast-vanishings/https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/black-coast-vanishings-why-do-people-go-missing-in-piha/6G7WAVU2W5EVDK2AGT2AIKQZSM/Thanks so much for listening, and I'll catch up with you again next Tuesday.Sarah & Rog xx20.
