Corner of the Void

EP29 - The Inaugural Corner of the Void Awards and Mysterious Christmas Deaths

It’s SUMMER here in NZ and that means road trips, baby! Who doesn’t love a long drive with ones nearest and dearest? But, as with everything, preparedness is key. In this episode, we discuss the harrowing case of the Death Valley Germans. It’s a story that’ll have you triple checking the conditions before you next hit the road. 

EP28 - The Disturbing Disappearance of the Death Valley Germans

It’s been a long time, we shouldn’t of left you. Without a dope beat to step to. And in this episode we’re stepping to the beat of a different drum - that of Hawaii’s ancient night marchers. Nat tells Stef the legend of these spooky spirit troops, before your ghouls read some true night marcher encounters (gratefully borrowed from reddit). 

EP27 - Hawaii's Ominous Phantom Warriors

In this episode, we talk our own personal challenges and self-care strategies, before Stef brings that good spooky stuff: We talk about true, horrifying cases of people being buried alive, and then deep dive into the tragic case of Betty Broderick.

EP26 - Waking Up Dead and Betty's Bad Decision

In this socially-distanced episode, we bring you the story of one of New Zealand’s most infamous murder cases: Did Mark Lundy kill his wife and daughter twenty years ago? Join us as we recount a horrific tale from 2000’s Palmerston North suburbia. 

EP25 - Murder in the Manawatu

This episode goes out to all the students doing late night study sessions at Carrington Road Unitec. We share our spooky updates and time travel antics, before discussing NZ's first case of execution. We then demonstrate just how much we don't know about the history of mental health in our own backyard as we unpack the sad and ghastly history of the Whau Lunatic Asylum - a Victorian era institution which is now a haunted college. If you enjoyed this episode please consider buying us a coffee ☕️ http://buymeacoffee.com/CornerOfTheVoid

EP24 - The Haunting History of the Whau Asylum

Are you an adrenaline junkie? A roller coaster fanatic? A theme park fiend? Well, good for you but we honestly can't relate - and in this episode we give you our reasons as to why. Stef shares the details of her epic Queenstown trip, Nat shares her recent experience of staying in one of NZ's haunted hotels, and we both share our distrust of amusement parks as we discuss Disney conspiracy theories and tragic accidents involving park attractions. 

EP23 - Dark Times in Happy Places

You've been so patient with us, and we really appreciate it. In this episode, we rant about racism, JK Rowling, and read your spooky two sentence horror stories. Then, Stef talks us through some of New Zealand's most famous prison breaks, before telling the eerie story of the 2004 disappearance of Iraena Asher.

EP22 - Prison Breaks and the Disappearance of Iraena Asher

It’s been a minute since we brought you the kind of good old-fashioned spooks that CotV is usually all about, and what better topic to set the tone for scary than the unsettling Navajo legend of the Skinwalker. We discuss the lore behind these peculiar beings, before reading some stories by those misfortunate enough to have possibly encountered them in person. So lock your doors, shut your curtains, and stay off desert roads between 2 and 4AM - things are about to get creepy.

EP21 - The Legend of the Skinwalker

Welcome to our second quarantine spesh. It’s so good to see you! Can we get you a snack - hot tea and popcorn? Salted banana? Some sea urchin and jam on toast perhaps? This weeks episode is all about your favourite weird food combos - the kind you find yourself craving but make your friends and fam seriously side-eye you. There’s no better time than lockdown to get some inspiration around creative food pairings, so grab yourself a tasty (in your opinion) treat and tune in for some food for thought. 

The Lockdown Lowdown: Part Two

Welcome to part one of our quarantine themed special! We hope these episodes will bring you some much-needed positivity during this truly out the gate time we're living in. In this episode, Nat shares what she's been watching, playing, and doing to keep her spirits (not the ghostly kind) up during the lockdown period. Whether it's binge-watching a much-adored Lovecraftian kids TV show or reading mind-breaking horror comics late at night, maybe you can add one of Nat's lockdown loves to your quarantine entertainment rotation. 

The Lockdown Lowdown: Part One

Howdy doody, fellow quarantinies. Since we’re all stuck inside our homes for the foreseeable future, we thought it might be prudent to educate ourselves on how to avoid the ire of various household entities. Then, if your dating life has taken a sharp decline due to lockdown, perhaps take a page out of Amanda Teague’s book and spark up a relationship with your resident ghost. Thanks for listening, and apologies for the mediocre Skype audio.  

EP20 - Domesticated Gnomes and Getting Wed to the Dead

The world is a pretty scary place at the moment and we hope you guys are doing ok. This episode, Stef provides us with all the need-to-know details of hiring a dark web hit-man (or getting scammed trying to do so). Then, we discuss the infamous case of Harvey Weinstein - a former movie mogul who's vile actions were exposed by the brave women who spoke out against him. It's a historical moment, but it comes with a big trigger warning for sexual violence - please put your wellbeing first. 

EP19 - The Trial Behind a Movement

This week, Stef talks us through the torturous experience of eating a Cherry Ripe while hungover as we give updates around Lori Vallow and touch on Netflix’s latest true crime docuseries.
