Episode 303 - The Haunting of Daniel McKent & Voodoo Momma

Two Girls One Ghost

This week, we’re diving into one of the most spine-tingling true crime meets paranormal tales: the haunting of Daniel McKent and his mysterious doll, Voodoo Mama.
Imagine a house filled with ominous footsteps, a shadowy figure caught by a watchful neighbor, and a voodoo doll with eerie, empty eye sockets. Daniel’s tragic death—initially ruled as a suicide—takes a supernatural twist as his spirit begins to cry out for justice. Was this a case of foul play, a cursed artifact, or a desperate ghost trying to solve his own murder?
Join us as we explore the strange knocks, ghostly footsteps, and even Daniel’s voice breaking through the veil to deliver a haunting message: “Murder. Money. Keep looking.” We’ll also dive into the true nature of Voodoo Mama, a doll that might not be as scary as she seems (or is she?), and share some bone-chilling listener tales of Marie Laveau’s lingering power.
This episode has it all: haunted artifacts, shadowy figures, and the lengths a ghost will go to reveal the truth. And must we not forget our introduction to the new star of our studio: Lady Lactaid (our latest nom de spooky) and our freshly acquired pendulum stands. As we bring these tools into the mix, one pendulum quickly reveals its spectral charm—meet Daniel, the trickster spirit who’s as sassy as he is mysterious. From his dramatic entrances to his cryptic energy, Daniel promises to add an extra chill (and maybe a chuckle) to our ghostly adventures.
