A family home in a quiet London suburb becomes the center of one of the most chilling hauntings ever documented. In 1977, the Hodgson family began experiencing the unexplainable, furniture levitating, violent knocks echoing through the walls, and a young girl speaking in a growling voice that wasn’t her own.

Investigators, skeptics, and journalists all witnessed activity that defied logic. Was it a troubled child seeking attention… or something darker, demanding to be heard?

In this episode of Triggered, we dive into the infamous Enfield Poltergeist case with a detailed, narrative retelling of every terrifying moment: the voices, the investigators, the controversy and the entity that refused to leave.

Lock your doors. Keep the lights on. And whatever you do… don’t answer if the house comes knocking.

Two truly unsettling tales — one from the carnival ring and one from a quiet Arkansas street — both haunted by violence, deformity, and the darker side of spectacle.

First up: Grady Stiles Jr. He was born into the sideshow world, billed as “Lobster Boy” thanks to his ectrodactyly (claw-like extremities), and performed as part of a traveling carnival family. But stage lights can cast shadows: behind the act was alcoholism, abuse, murder of his daughter’s fiancé the night before the wedding, and ultimately his own gunning down—allegedly in a conspiracy involving his wife and stepson.

Then: Jarrell Floyd Bettis—aka “Dog Boy”—a childhood and adulthood marred by animal cruelty, alleged parental abuse, and the legends surrounding his house in Quitman, Arkansas. From tortured strays to locked-away parents, his story spirals into a home so feared that even today the house is rumored to be haunted.

We’ll explore both how spectacle and deformity became props for a harsh existence, how abuse and power dynamics played out in each story, and what these men’s ends tell us about the world they inhabited. Plus, we’ll ask: is it enough to say “weird”? Because this week, weird doesn’t even cover it.

Grab your headphones, adjust the lighting, and join us as we step into carnival shadows and suburban dread…

In this episode of Triggered, we explore the disturbing case of Virginia McCullough, a story of loneliness, manipulation, and denial. What drives someone to not only kill their parents but to live alongside their remains as though nothing happened?

Domestic abuse is often seen through one lens: men as perpetrators, women as victims. But the truth is far more complicated.

In this episode of Triggered, we flip the stereotype and uncover two disturbing cases where women were the abusers and their partners paid the ultimate price.

We explore the high-profile case of Courtney Tailor, the OnlyFans model who killed her boyfriend Christian Obumseli, and the lesser-known but equally harrowing story of Maureen Rickards, who tormented and murdered her husband Jeremy before hiding his body in their garden.

These cases force us to confront a difficult reality: abuse doesn’t always look the way we expect, and ignoring it can be deadly.
