Tooth in Eye, Thoughts to Speech, and Pokémon’s Evil Side

An oldie but a goodie ... throwing it back to 2019 as we're on the road this week, back again with a new episode Thursday over on the www.patreon.com/thecreepdive Would you rather be stuck at sea, sucked from a plane or suspiciously disappear after a car crash? This week, our trifecta of grim is all about travel travesty. First up, Jen I-Laugh-When-I’m-Nervous O’Dwyer relays the tale of Juliane Koepcke, the sole survivor of a plane crash that left her stranded in the Amazon Rainforest. Next up, Sophie I-Have-Short-Story White gives us the literally stomach turning story of a boat crash in shark infested waters. Finally, Cassie Hasn’t-Had-Time-To-Prepare Delaney delivers a story worthy of an X-Files plot Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week, we’ve got pure chaos—a possessed plane passenger who swallowed rosary beads mid-flight and drop-kicked a flight attendant, a man locked in a tiny room for 20 YEARS (and somehow his captor walked free?!), and an architect who built actual death rays—melting cars and burning people alive with his buildings. Unhinged, creepy, and totally wild—just the way we like it. .... Want to hear this episode completely ad-free and get an extra bonus episode every single week?

This week, we take a ride through the shadowy intersection of big tech, religion, and power, featuring none other than Peter Thiel, the billionaire with an obsession—funding ultra-conservative Christian movements while being an openly gay man. We unravel his role in Hallow, the world’s most successful Catholic prayer app, and ask: is this a genuine faith movement or just another billionaire-backed tool for control? Then, things get dark as we break down the return of the firing squad in the US. The first execution by firing squad in 15 years just took place, and we dive into why it happened, how it went down, and what it says about the state of justice today. And finally, we get tangled up in the bizarre world of Hillsong, the mega-church-turned-scandal-factory, complete with celebrity pastors, cult-like control, and enough hypocrisy to make your head spin. Billionaires, executions, cults—get in into yah. .... Want to hear this episode completely ad-free and get an extra bonus episode every single week?

Buckle up, creeps, because this episode is a rollercoaster of madness and tragedy. First, Casey Anthony is back—yes, that Casey Anthony—resurfacing on social media, and the internet has thoughts. We dive into her bizarre return, the outrage, and why the world still believes she got away with murder. Then, we uncover the Mormon armpit chlamydia epidemic. That’s right—bagpiping, soaking, and the truly unhinged len gths people will go to in order to technically stay “pure.” We also revisit one of the pettiest, most unhinged love triangles ever—the London Zoo Christmas Party Brawl. A llama keeper, a meerkat expert, and a monkey handler walk into a party… and by the end of the night, someone is swinging a wine glass to the face. And in a sharp turn into the tragic, we discuss the Aberfan disaster, one of the most devastating and preventable tragedies in UK history. How did a 111-foot coal waste tip collapse, burying an entire school and wiping out a generation of children? And how did the government force survivors to pay for the cleanup in you pop ...

This week on The Creep Dive, we take you deep into the shadows with three stories that will leave you shook. A terrifying human egg farm where women were trafficked for their reproductive abilities, a murderous vegan cult that sought total brain optimization at the cost of sanity (and human lives), and a snake-infested backyard nightmare straight out of an Australian horror movie. It’s creepy, it’s bizarre, and you’ll never look at mulch the same way again. GET INTO IT Want to hear this episode completely ad-free and get an extra bonus episode every single week?
