EP26- Jerkin Gherkins

Think locking your doors at night keeps you safe? Cute. This week, Phreak and Kamen tackle two nightmares that prove otherwise. First up: The Man in the Fields—an internet “game” that’s less hide-and-seek and more “hope you remembered that one weird crawlspace window, or say goodbye forever.” Then we’re off to Germany to talk about The Phantom of Heilbronn, a serial “ghost criminal” who baffled investigators for years—until the truth turned out to be dumber (and scarier) than anyone expected. Monsters you can’t see. Suspects who don’t exist. It’s like true crime meets a bad acid trip, and you’re stuck in the middle. Kamen’s DNA gets spread everywhere like 1958's The Blob.
