  85: John's Letter: The Haunted House on 7th Street | 31 Nights of Frights on True Crime Sleep Stories 02.10.2026 22Min.

  Good evening, dear listeners.A listener wrote to me and asked for his story to be featured on our October "31 Nights of Frights" series on True Crime Sleep Stories. He asked to be called John. That's not his real name. What he sent was a family story they've been telling for 30 years. They still call the place their old haunted house.One night after a party, he woke to footsteps in the hall. Water running. A toilet flush. Someone walking back to the other bedroom. Nobody was there.If you have a story like this... a house, a hallway, a night you still cannot explain... you can write to me. You can stay anonymous if you'd like. ;-) We would love to read it in October on 31 Nights of Frights.Thank you for being here.

  69: “It’s 10 p.m. Do You Know Where Your Children Are?” | True Crime Sleep Stories 01.03.2026 33Min.

  Tonight on True Crime Sleep Stories, we revisit one of the most haunting public service announcements in American television history: the nightly reminder that began airing in the late 1960s... “It’s 10 p.m. Do you know where your children are?”What started as a simple, well-meaning nudge amid rising urban crime and changing family dynamics slowly took on a darker resonance as the 1970s and 1980s brought wave after wave of heartbreaking child disappearances and exploitation cases. In this episode, we trace the PSA’s origins and quietly walk through some of the era’s most infamous tragedies: the Houston “Candy Man” murders, the Chowchilla school bus kidnapping, Etan Patz’s disappearance that launched the milk carton campaign, the Atlanta Child Murders, Adam Walsh’s abduction, Johnny Gosch’s vanishing, and the hidden horrors uncovered on North Fox Island. We also draw subtle parallels to modern cases like Jeffrey Epstein’s island, showing how patterns of power, isolation, and predation have persisted across decades.These are stories of vulnerability exploited in everyday moments. Paper routes at dawn, bus stops on the last day of school, toy aisles in busy malls. And of the progress born from tragedy: Amber Alerts, immediate-response laws, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, and a cultural shift toward greater awareness and protection.Crimes against children are, without question, among the most horrific and heartbreaking offenses imaginable. They shatter families, communities, and our collective sense of safety in ways few other crimes can. This episode is handled with care and respect... no graphic details, no sensationalism, just the facts, the human impact, and the quiet reflection on how far we’ve come while still needing to stay vigilant. Sweet dreams, stay safe, and lock your doors tonight.See you in the shadows. 🌑Support on Patreon for bonus episodes, early access & ad-free listening. 💤SUPPORT THE SHOW ON PATREON!If you enjoyed this episode and want more exclusive content, join our Patreon community at patreon.com/kellibrink.
