Episode 143: Hybristophilia A.K.A. Bonnie & Clyde Syndrome
In this episode, we dive into the complex phenomenon of Hybristophilia—the attraction to criminals, particularly those who have committed heinous acts. Through case studies of infamous figures like Ted Bundy and Richard Ramirez, we explore the psychological motivations behind this fascination, the allure of danger, and the often tragic consequences of such relationships. We also examine the blurred lines between fantasy and reality, the delusions that can accompany these attractions, and the societal implications of romanticizing violent offenders.Tell YOUR stories on the next episode of Grim Encounters!
