A woman named Ashley walks into the emergency room with strange injuries. Bruises all over her body. Scrape marks on knees and bite marks on her face. The nurses don’t feel comfortable with her explanation of how she sustained such severe injuries. The only answer that makes sense to them… is abuse. Severe abuse. A beating. They call the police to report it - and by the end of the night, the patient is dead. Now the police are left to investigate - her boyfriend. Her affair partner from work. Her lover’s girlfriend. And even his little 17-year-old sister. 4 different people with connections with Ashely. 4 different reactions to the news of her death. And 2 responsible for killing her.

Ronan’s 6 year old daughter has finally come back home but something is not right. Ever since the little girl got home strange things have been happening… A cockroach breaking through the window. The child suddenly growing double the teeth in her mouth. Somehow she’s able to shut doors that are on the other side of the room. She’s talking to people who aren’t there… Ronan knows why. Her little daughter is possessed and it’s up to her to find out how to break the curse. That sounds like the plot of a movie - doesn’t it? It is - the horror film “Incantation.” It is arguably one of the scariest horror films to be released recently. Yet. It’s all based on a true story of a family of 6 in Taiwan. A family where they all became possessed until finally 1 of them dies.

Lucy Li is sitting in a small room with a blanket draping over her shoulders. A man sits in front of her and asks about how her flight was. “It’s not the best flight experience, I’m not used to sitting in tight spaces… And I feel really bad for the officers that had to come and get me because they had to make stopovers…” She puts her hand to her heart, “Me and mom was really concerned about that. And we offered Interpol to tell them we would fly them private.” Lucy has just gotten off an international flight from Eastern Europe after a murder (double murder attempt), fleeing to multiple countries, and being wanted by Interpol for months. She’s just a little unhappy that she wasn’t able to fly private to come home.

There was this rumor going around in the K-Pop world in 2016 If you want your favorite artist to do well – you have to buy their albums from two specific retailers… One of those companies was called Synnara Records. At their height, it is said they had a 30% share of the record market volume. They are one of the rare business success stories raking in millions of dollars. Until you dig deeper.

A woman who allegedly forced young healthy men to line up outside her door to wait for their golden chance to be SA’d by her. A woman who was tried for the torture and murder of a 5 year old baby. This is the story of the Baby Garden cult - and how they made millions in the K-Pop industry without anyone knowing… They’re still around to this day.

South Korea is going through an erase all faces panic. Every single selfie is being wiped from the internet just in case. As a response - a male college student wrote on a forum - “Put a finger down and ask yourself Have I ever been asked out or confessed to? (Joke confessions do not count) Do a lot of men try to talk to me even though I don’t talk to them first? Have I ever looked into the mirror and resented my parents? Can other people recognize me without makeup? Do I weigh more than 145 pounds? Do I frequent feminist online forums? When I walk on the street, do children avoid me? If you answered yes to more than 3 of these questions - don’t worry. Your rate of being a victim of sexual deep fakes is very low. Men have standards too. We don’t just deepfake any woman.” This is the case of the “new Nth Rooms” where over 400 schools have been found to be operating illegal chatrooms where students are getting deepfaked into sexually explicit photos and videos. A whole network of deep fake trading and creating has been found. Most victims and perpetrators? Teenagers.

There is a college student laying down on the hospital bed. She’s staring up at the ceiling in distress as someone records her silently from the corner of the room. “I’m going to have such a long day tomorrow - I’m not going to answer anyone’s Snapchats!” The person recording does not respond. “Well, you’re too quiet. I’m going to start singing since I hate the quiet.” The girl gets up in the hospital bed to perform Justin Bieber’s “Intentions.” She’s whipping her head around like she’s giving a stage performance on tour. She just doesn’t understand why the man in the room with her is so stiff. Loosen up. Have some fun. He snaps at her - “you want me to be honest with you? You’re going to jail. You don’t have bond. You killed two people tonight. That’s what’s going on. So no, you’re not going to school tomorrow.” This is the case of Stephanie Melgoza - the college student who killed two people and proceeded to complain the whole time about how she needed to go to class, told the officers about how excited she was for her Vegas trip, and sang songs at the crime scene.

Hospitals are no strangers to death. But something very odd was happening inside the walls of Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College. The medical students, junior doctors, professors were all running away from the classroom. Screaming. Administrators rushed to call Dr. Di’s parents. ‘She self exited.’ That is what her parents were told. Their precious daughter had taken her own life. Perhaps it was the unbearable pressure and long work hours? Or not. The autopsy would show that Dr. D, a 31 year old female doctor, was found gang SA’d to the point her pelvic bone was damaged, bleeding from her eyes, mouth, and private parts, bite marks all over, and her legs found bent at an unnatural contorted angle. Anyone could see that she clearly had not taken her own life. So then, why would her parents be told that? Who is the hospital protecting? What are they covering up?

The entire courtroom is quiet as each person walks up to the front and points. They point at this tiny miniature model of a movie theater sitting on the table. The tiny blue miniature-model seats are positioned just like they were when it all happened. 3 years ago - the emergency exit door to Theater 9 would open. A man with bright orange hair wearing tactical gear would walk into the theater - and open fire. At the midnight premiere of Batman The Dark Knight Rises. He is now sitting in the courtroom charged with 24 counts of murder, 140 counts of attempted murder, and 1 count of illegal explosives. But there are still so many questions - he told his psychiatrist months prior that he wanted to kill people. Why wasn’t he put on a psychiatric hold? Why did he write a notebook filled with his plans to mail to her? Why did he, a neuroscience major, hate humanity so much to believe in something as vile as “human capital?” The idea that taking a life increases the value of your own.

You could send pictures or even nudes! Though on second thought…they’ll probably get flagged and he won’t even be able to read them. Maybe a love poem? “I know you’ve been hurt, but I’ll be with you. I see the pain in your eyes.” It’s kind of like the bachelor; everyone fighting for one man’s affections. Who’s going to come out on top? Only, this man is not the bachelor. He’s a killer.
