Pinky Pod: Recent Episodes

S Roit

Author S. Roit, having fun and shooting the sh*t on whatever subject takes my fancy, especially true crime, the macabre, occult, paranormal, supernatural, spiritualism— worlds that often collide.

I include skeptics and grifters, as I’m finding the drama between people surrounding the events is often more interesting than the event!

What's spooky season without Dracula, and who is Dracula, without Bela?

NOTHING!

This week I bring you a brief biography of the legend, much of it straight from his son. He did so much more than play Dracula -- which really, was ONCE.

Unless you count the stage plays, of which there were hundreds.

I do discuss the film, as well, and I also touch on the production of the Spanish version of the film.

And who is the real bad guy, here? Not necessarily the "Freedomites."

Port Gamble: a town of ghosts, mills, and tales, now a tourist hot spot.

I may take a two week hiatus or so after this. I'll be back with season two! For now, I hope you give a listen this longer episode that covers everything from the founding of this town, which is on the National Historic Places register; its ghosts; ending with the history of the people who were actually here first: S'Klallam.

I have visited Port Gamble, and plan to return. I didn't know about the ghosts at the time! Many photos I'll share on my IG are photos I took, unless otherwise stated.

Comte de St. Germain (Count of Saint Germain.)

Jacques St. Germain.

Were they the same man? Both were gifted in the ways of music, conversation, wealth, linguistics...and alchemy.

The problem is, one existed in Louis XV's court. The other? New Orleans in the 1900s.

Yet they both claimed to have been in places 500 years prior. Even to have spoken to Cleopatra. 

Then, there's Richard Chanfray.

Dear listeners, I'm asking you a question: do you believe in vampires? You might, after this.

Tracy Olajide, Tammy Pipe, and Victoria Younker.

Found dead, Canada, 1995.

They are connected, and the case is cold. They are also not the first to be murdered, after disappearing from Vancouver. You've heard of Pickton, perhaps?

It wasn't him, this time. The frightening truth is, there are likely several abusive, murdering people there, who target women down on their luck.

This is the case of the Valley Murders, or "Hemlock Valley Murders."

A listener tale sends me down a mini rabbit hole, in which I can't make my mouth work. Mercury retrograde, I'll blame it on that, and not my tongue.

This episode deals with a type of UFO, me not being drunk but wishing I had that excuse, and a good laugh at my expense. I swear I make a semi-comeback towards the end, so hang in there.

My next tee-shirt creation should have something to do with my vocal flubs...hmm.

Join me as I consistently switch between pronunciations of the poor Bavarian folk, all of whom are deceased, as this unsolved murder case is a century old, and counting.

This is truly creepy, grisly, and convoluted. I have no clue who slaughtered this family of five, plus one maid. Do you?

It's as infamous as Jack the Ripper. Join me.

Shout out to Cult Liter for introducing me to the term phrogging. Listen to his podcast.

“He’s so upset his Aquanet hair is quivering.”

This is something I've never done for other people, not in a recording. I did this with love, to honor Tawny Kitaen.

I hope you'll join me for Witchboard, with my commentary. This is unrehearsed. Just me. A little trivia I knew. Some jokes. I hadn't watched it in a long time.

Couldn't do video, because copyright. I think for a full experience, if you were to watch while listening...

Let me know if you do! It's free on Pluto, Tubi, also on Amazon Prime, to name a few.

Part of a likely series on Northern State Hospital.  Listening to The People That Time Forgot, is useful, here.

I begin with a quick overview of some history, and hot topics. Much swearing is involved at times. You'll see why.  But there are always several sides to a story, so this isn't all of it, by far.

Listen as I begin the historical tale of an abandoned mental hospital here in WA state.

This one means a lot to me. It's feeling personal and important. I hope you'll give a listen to my tale of a visit to Northern State Hospital in Sedro Woolley, Washington, the synchronicities, and the beginnings of a story about the forgotten souls who died there.

I need people to know about these 1,500 souls. It feels like a mission.

This is only the beginning. This is me, real and raw.
