Witches Be Crazy

Some people blame bad luck on curses, others blame it on witches. In this episode of Waywut, Darrell and Jason dive into the bizarre overlap between witchcraft and crime.

Darrell starts with his own childhood brush with magic, a stolen spell book, and a love spell that didn’t quite work out. From there, the rabbit hole gets darker:

• A self-proclaimed Satanist whose “protection spell” ended in tragedy in Sioux City, Iowa
• A Canadian woman who poisoned her husband with an antifreeze “potion” while mixing in witch rituals
• A coven in Illinois that tried to lift a supposed hex with violence, leading to chaos, stabbings, and arrests

It’s not witches on broomsticks — it’s real crimes wrapped in occult excuses. The stories are wild, strange, and unsettling, and they show how far people will go when superstition meets desperation.

If you like your true crime weird, your history twisted, and your rabbit holes deep, this one’s for you.
