A rookie cop in Mexico sees a woman in black fall from a tree and hover, then land softly staring at him.
The episode opens with casual banter between hosts Danielle and Zee before introducing the main paranormal topic: the Witch of Monterey. They detail the 2004 encounter of rookie police officer Leonardo Samaniego Gallegos in Guadalupe, Mexico, who saw a woman in black fall from a tree, hover, and then attack his car. The host describes the entity as having no eyelids, dark skin, and claws. Other police officers and locals reported similar sightings in the area, including footage captured by a UFO club in 2006. The host links these accounts to indigenous Nahua legends of the clawapoochee, shape-shifting vampire-witches that turn into birds to hunt. The story concludes with an update that Officer Samaniego retired but still recalls the event with chills. The episode then transitions to a true crime segment, where Zee revisits the Cleveland Torso Murderer case from their early episodes. This serial killer operated in the 1930s, dismembering and often castrating victims in Cleveland's Kingsbury Run area, with potential connections to earlier Pennsylvania swamp murders. The host notes the killer was never identified. Later, Zee shares a personal anecdote about falling for a tattoo scam where an artist took payment upfront and disappeared. The episode ends with calls to support the podcast and humorous sign-offs.
