    This week on That’s Disturbing, mother-daughter duo Gayle and Daphne dive into one of the most infamous paranormal cases in history: the Enfield Poltergeist. What started as strange knocking sounds inside a small council house in England quickly spiraled into claims of flying furniture, levitation, growling demon voices, and terrifying paranormal encounters that would shock the world for decades to come.

    From possessed voices to violent poltergeist activity, this case inspired movies, documentaries, and endless debate in the paranormal community, but the real story might be even creepier than Hollywood made it.

    105: Appalachia’s Creepiest Legends:Delilah McKenna Mystery and the Mothman
    2026/05/20

    In this episode, we’re diving deep into two of Appalachia’s creepiest stories: the disturbing Delilah McKenna creepypasta that’s been haunting the internet and the terrifying legend of Mothman.
    From glowing red eyes lurking over isolated roads to eerie Appalachian folklore that feels way too real, these stories have taken on lives of their own.
    We spiral into the unsettling story of Delilah McKenna, a dark internet horror tale wrapped in missing person vibes, strange backwoods rumors, and the kind of storytelling that makes you question whether it’s really fiction at all. Then we unpack the origins of the Mothman sightings, the paranoia surrounding the legend, and why people are still obsessed with it decades later.
    So turn the lights down, lock your doors, and don’t go wandering through the Appalachian woods alone at night.

    2026/05/06
    Before modern dating apps, there were “lonely hearts” ads, and one man used them to lure women to their deaths. Harry Powers, often called the Bluebeard Killer, was one of America’s first known serial killers. In the early 1930s, he targeted widows and vulnerable women through personal ads, promising marriage, stability, and a new life. Instead, he brought them to his property in Quiet Dell, West Virginia,a place that would later become known as a murder house.
    In this episode, we break down the full story of Harry Powers, the Bluebeard serial killer, from his early life and manipulation tactics to the discovery of his victims, his chilling confession, and the trial that captivated the nation.

    102: Georgia Tann: The Woman Who Built a Child Trafficking Empire in Plain Sight
    2026/04/25
    This week’s episode? Oh, just a light little story about mass child trafficking in America 😃 Buckle up & definitely grab the kleenex. We’re diving into the case of Georgia Tann the woman who didn’t just run an adoption agency… she basically built a whole black market baby pipeline and got away with it for years. Like, years years. Corruption is an understatment. We break down how the Georgia Tann scheme worked, how it stayed hidden in plain sight, and how thousands of children were stolen, sold, and erased from their families’ lives. It’s dark. It’s infuriating. It’s one of those cases where you keep thinking, “there’s no way this gets worse”… and then it absolutely does. So yeah, expect a full deep dive, a lot of “are you kidding me??” moments, and our usual accidentally giggly coping mechanisms because otherwise we’d cry and you'd never be able to understand us.
