    So you might think this is a story about a goblin. But it's not. In Spain in 1934, an apartment building was filled with phantom laughter. And then things got weird.

    SORRY for the short episode! I'm still dealing with Covid <3

    One of the biggest cases in the 90's. The trial lasted six years. Lyle and Erk were brothers who killed their wealthy parents. They seemed to have it all. Good looks, money...but the family had a dark secret. Were Lyle and Erik justified in what they did?

    TW/CW: CSA, CA, and mental health venting towards the end.
