In this episode of Chambers of the Occult, J dives into Death in the Tropics—the terrifying true crime case of the Honolulu Strangler, Hawaii’s first known serial killer. Between 1985 and 1986, the island paradise of Oahu was rocked by the disappearances and murders of five women, beginning with Vicky Gale Purdy. The case remains unsolved, leaving behind a legacy of fear and mystery.

Then, Kai takes us deep into Dread in the Trees, exploring some of the most haunted forests in the world. Discover the eerie legends of Pluckley Screaming Woods in England, the cursed forests of Massachusetts, and Japan’s infamous Aokigahara Suicide Forest. Kai unpacks the ghost stories, chilling encounters, and psychological phenomena that make these locations so infamous.

True crime meets the paranormal in an episode that proves some places are beautiful by day—and horrifying by night.
