In this episode, the hosts share personal updates and childhood stories before diving into two chilling tales. First, they explore the haunted history of a historic Michigan hotel, complete with a spectral dog. Then, they recount the disturbing crimes of a Florida sheriff's deputy turned serial killer, a case that leaves them deeply frustrated.
The episode begins with Em and Christine catching up on personal news, including Em's dog's health scare and her new Reiki certification, and Christine's friend becoming a father. They then investigate the Holly Hotel in Michigan, a former railroad hotel that survived Prohibition as a comedy club and was famously attacked by Carrie Nation. The hotel is reportedly haunted by a cigar-smoking man, a floating head hostess, and a ghost dog named Leona, and was featured in a poorly reviewed Hallmark movie. The second half covers the case of Gerard Schaefer, a Florida deputy who used his badge to lure and murder multiple women and girls in the 1970s. Despite two convictions, he is suspected of up to 28 murders and was killed in prison in 1995. The hosts express their frustration over the failures of the justice system in this case.
