Before Jason and his hockey mask, there were real crimes and scary times that happened on this  day of fear. 

SPEAKER_01

Hey everybody, I'm Vera. I'm Mia. And we are Spectral Homicide. Um this is gonna be our Friday the 13th episode, even though we are doing it on the Monday. Monday the is this the 16th? I think. I don't know. It's not Friday the 13th. But we were gonna do it on the Friday the 13th. We had all the intention in the world of doing it on the 13th. However, um we decided to go and get tattoos.

SPEAKER_00

We did. I've never done that before. She's never done the flash sales. I've done it like twice, three times now.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Um, but the other times I went to the the other shop in town.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And they did like the itty bitty designs, you know. Oh my gosh, these are so nice. But these are like this is actually something I would have gotten.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I've never done a flash sale before, ever, ever, ever. Um, I'm gonna give a huge shout out to Patriot Tattoo because they have some amazing artists. Started my sleeve. Yes, you did.

SPEAKER_00

Yes, you did. So, alright, go ahead. Alright, so the album of the day was actually released on Friday the 13th of last month, and it is Necropalace by Worm, which is my favorite band, actually. Um I met I met both of them when I saw them live in October of 2024, I think. Um, some guy linked me at that concert. Um, it was really weird, but it wasn't them. That's so gross. It wasn't them. Um, Phantom Slaughter signed my Blue Nothing tape with eyeliner because he didn't have a pen, and I didn't have a pen because my friend had just met Felipe Dugas, right? My friend had just met Phil in the bathroom. And um, I was like, oh my god, take my notepad and my pen in case you run into Phantom Slaughter or Phil again. And he was like, Okay, so he took my Sharpie and my notepad, and then I met Phantom Slaughter with no Sharpie and no notepad. So he had to run up the stairs behind the stage, like backstage, get someone's eyeliner. Don't know whose it was, I don't think it was his. Um, and sign my tape with it, which was pretty cool. That's loud. That is really cool. Um, have you put anything over it to protect that? The case. We should put something over that to protect that. But that's- I've been thinking about framing it, but I also don't want to like disturb its original condition, you know?

SPEAKER_01

No, I wouldn't either. I would just put some sort of even if it's like clear nail polish or something, some sort of clear coat to to protect it. You're telling me to use resin.

SPEAKER_00

Is it resonating with you? Oh my god. This woman is obsessed with resin. I am okay. So Worm released Necropal is their third fourth full-length release on Friday the 13th, or February 13th, 2026. So it is relevant to our podcast. Worm originally formed in 2012 as a black metal one-man project in the Miami Dade County, Florida. Sorry, I can't like talk right now. It something is going on with my voice. I just woke up. Uh, Phantom Slaughter has been the only consistent member over the years. He also formed the band. He had past members such as Hellspawn, Nihilistic Manifesto, and Equiman Thorn. The current lineup is Phantom Slaughter Rothseptentrion, also known as Felipe Tugan, which is oh my god. That guy is so talented, he's so cool. He's also really nice. Um, and Charlie Corrin, occasionally, who I'm pretty sure I also met. Yeah, I did, before the show. But um, Charlie Corrin also, um, I'm pretty sure did the drums or bass on this album. But um, Marty Friedman also features on this album on the last track, Witch Moon. But um. Worm's Influence is right in your face, Odium, Cradle of Phil, Spectral Voice. I wrote Spectral Voice twice. Okay. Um I'm looking at my notes. And recently, Dimu Borgier. I hope I pronounced that right. Um, Dimu Burger. Um, Necropalace has made the band's sound completely 180 from their swampy funeral doom sound. Signature. Swampy Funeral Doom. Oh my god. Oh my god, I'm a mess right now. It's okay. Oh my god, my brain's not working. They've been kind of vampiric throughout their whole career. Um I think the vampiric thing started with um either Nights in Hell, paused, and then went to um Star Path, but I'm not sure. Um, again, I just woke up, but I'm pretty sure it started around Star Path. They're split with Dreamline Ending in 2023, I think. Um they're now a more symphonic vampiric black and doom sound, heavy symphonic. Um, yeah. Oh yeah, Phantom Slaughter was so fucking drunk, but it it was kind of funny, but because he was he was like trap nodding to gay creeper and chat. But it was really nice. Um, really nice guy. Um Phil autographed my notepad and he kind of questioned it because he was like, I have a tape or something that I could autograph. And I was like, No. I didn't know who he was at the time, and I was and now I'm really embarrassed, but at least I got his signature. Hey, you know what? That's cool. Um I had no idea who he was at the time.

SPEAKER_01

You just knew that he was somebody and you'd want to be. He was in the band.

SPEAKER_00

I knew he was in the band and I wanted his signature. Yeah. But I was like, oh my god, Phantom Slotterside my tape. I don't want it to be too crowded. Yeah. Um that makes sense. And like the eyeliner signature was super light, so I didn't want it to accidentally write over it. But um That's really cool though. It was really cool. Phil was really nice, but he was really tired. I can imagine, dude. I'm pretty sure he fucking broke his arm recording the ribs for this album. Really? That was actually no, they were recording this album back in June 2024. Um, I think in Oregon actually. It said on the CD, I think. Or Encyclopedia Metalli, I don't remember. But um Yeah. That is my favorite band, and I personally really like the direction this album is going in. Um I love the I cannot wait for the VHS tape of all the music videos to come out. I'm so excited for that. Um oh my gosh. But they're finally shipping my tape for this album, like my cassette tape. Yeah. Um and I think I ordered it back in December. But it's been a while. It's exp uh originally the expected time of arrival was June, and I was like, oh what the fuck? Um, but he sent out an email yesterday saying, hey, we're gonna try to get those shipped out by the end of the month, because so it's probably stressing Phantom out too. Yeah. But I can't speak for him. The guy's super mysterious. Um, no, but cool guy. Really nice when I met him. Um Yeah. Oh, sorry, I'm popping my knuckles. Alright, moving on to the episode. Friday the 13th. Are you going first or am I?

SPEAKER_01

Um, well, so this episode we're gonna be talking about like history, superstitions, crimes, and uh what was the other thing we were talking about? This is a bunch of stuff. Um, and just beliefs are all around. Bunch of bullshit. Um, I got I got a ton of history.

SPEAKER_00

Um I don't have a lot of crimes, so I should probably go first.

SPEAKER_01

You wanna you wanna do you wanna go first? It's a little shorter.

SPEAKER_00

Alright, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead. Okay, so on July 13th, 1990, Glenn Milner went on a quote-unquote satanic spree where he killed 17-year-old Frankie Garcia, severely injured Ken Williams, and Jimmy Britton in Texas. In 2019, on September 13th in Texas. Wow, holy Texas. Holy Texas, uh, the mummy robberies took place when someone dressed as a mummy and robbed the first convenience bag. I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_01

Why would you let that shit happen? You know, I think I'd definitely have like a red flag if somebody came in dressed like a mummy.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, but I I'd be laughing my ass off. I would probably get killed, but um, I would be laughing too hard to take the robbery seriously.

SPEAKER_01

I remember reading about that one actually. I that one popped up in my research.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Alright, so there is actually a fear dedicated to it because of all the superstition about it. Um, it's called Frigga Triskai Decaphobia. Frigga because Friday, the day of Frig. Um, the Norse goddess. Uh Triskai Decca, I think, means 13, I know Triskai does. The only reason I know that is because of Magic the Gathering. Um, because there's Triskai Decaphobia and the Triskai Decophile or whatever. And they're like really weird cards involving the number 13. I was like, okay, that's probably what that means. Um there are three Friday the 13th this year in 206 2026. February, March, and November. I really hope there's a bomb ass tattoo uh flash sale in November too, because that would be great. Um I won't be broke then. Um the bombing of Buckingham Palace, September 13th, 1940. September is a really popular month. Um I don't remember exactly what happened because I wasn't there, but you know. Apparently the king and queen were inside when it happened, but they were like completely fine.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, that's kinda creepy, actually.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Oh, Tupac Shakur's death. Was that on Friday the 13th? Yep. He was shot September 7th, 1996, four times and succumbed to his injuries in the hospital four days later, on Friday, September 13th.

SPEAKER_01

That is insane.

SPEAKER_00

September's just a really shitty month.

SPEAKER_01

I mean Yeah, I mean I could see that.

SPEAKER_00

Well, never forget. In this is history, but I wrote this down too. That's fine, go for it. Okay. A British 13-year-old boy was struck by lightning on Friday the 13th in England at 2010 at 1313. He was fine.

SPEAKER_01

He's okay?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, he's fine. That's insane. Imagine if he got struck 13 times.

SPEAKER_01

I mean, there would definitely be a problem.

SPEAKER_00

Well, I think that he would not be okay.

SPEAKER_01

How does he ha I mean, okay, look, I'm not saying I want to happen. And I just like when we have lightning, I'm always scared that I'm gonna get struck by lightning. I don't know why.

SPEAKER_00

Dude, you should have like you should have been there during the fucking marching band practices where they made us practice in the fucking rain and thunder and lightning. I was I was out there waving around that big ass metal pole.

SPEAKER_01

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_00

Like, come and get me. Oh. Oh that shit was so funny.

SPEAKER_01

And you know what? I gotta be honest, um, that would uh that would scare the fuck out of me.

SPEAKER_00

It was it was kind of scary, but I was also like in that kind of I don't give a fuck saved life, you know?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, no, I get it.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I get it. That was a that was a bad year. Um that was a really bad year. I was like, give me, give me! But um plus the scars that people get from lightning strikes are so pretty. Like they look like flowers.

SPEAKER_01

I honestly gotta be I I'm not I'm not even kidding, like to me, it's it's terrifying. Yeah. Like, I'm always like when we are when we're having a storm and I need to get out of my car and actually come in the house, I'm always scared that you can run. I do. Every time I book it.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

So okay. But like, how unlucky do you have to be to be 13 years old struck by lightning on Friday the 13th at 13, 13 o'clock?

SPEAKER_01

I mean, that's honestly pretty fucking insane. That's I can't think of more metal. No, I'm kidding. No, I'm just- I'm not that sorry. Sorry, that was really shitty. I actually I'm glad he's okay, but like, seriously, like That's pretty metal. That is that's insane. Like, there's just way too much there.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Alright, Kitty Genovisi was murdered in Queens, New York in her apartment on March 13th, 1964, by Winston Mosley. That's a stupid name.

SPEAKER_01

38 people.

SPEAKER_00

38 people heard it, but nobody called the police.

SPEAKER_01

Which is I was reading about that. That's insane.

SPEAKER_00

This is where the quote-unquote bystander effect term came from.

SPEAKER_01

Really?

SPEAKER_00

SPEAKER_01

Because like they just I can't believe nobody did anything.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. But like, what can you do? I mean bust in there?

SPEAKER_01

You know what? I think that uh I think that sounds like somebody else's job. That's I'm what a fucking croc. I mean, croc? I'm like, seriously, like look, okay, it's like when it's like when that woman had a heart attack and she fell and all these people were walking around her and stepping over her.

SPEAKER_00

Like that little that that little uh Ukrainian girl that got murdered on the on the subway.

SPEAKER_01

Oh my god, that was so awful. Yeah, that was so awful. It's like you guys, how callous do you have to be to just not do shit? Nothing, not a fucking thing. Like if you hear something is happening or you see something, fucking do something.

SPEAKER_00

Like I understand not knowing what to do, but call the cops.

SPEAKER_01

Something, anything, go bang on the fucking door. Something, clearly something is wrong.

SPEAKER_00

Or just like, hey, maybe jump the guy who's like killing people.

SPEAKER_01

I mean, did they were they inside a house and or what in her in Kitty's apartment. In her apartment. Okay, so you're in an apartment complex and you hear somebody beating the fuck out of somebody else. Clearly somebody's in distress. Don't you think?

SPEAKER_00

Put that fucking door down.

SPEAKER_01

I mean, for real. I mean, I'm not look, maybe it's the crazy in me, but I sure as shit wouldn't just sit there and listen.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

I would get my hot ass up there and I'd fucking kick in that motherfucking door.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

You know, I'd probably get killed.

SPEAKER_00

Um But you'd die trying.

SPEAKER_01

You're damn right I would.

SPEAKER_00

And the intention would be there.

SPEAKER_01

It's like, you know, like what the hell? Thirty-eight people and not one person did something?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

You're good. I do have some more history. I hope I'm not like stealing from your notes. No, no, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_01

Go for it, go for it, go for it.

SPEAKER_00

We didn't touch bases before this, so we're kind of- This is a blind episode. This is a really blind episode. This is actually pretty raw, but um. Alright, July 13th, 1951. Kansas experienced record rainfall and flooding in Manhattan, Lawrence and Topeka being the most affected. Um, uh, 25 inches of rain, two million acres of land damaged, and oil tanks with some exploding. I'm pretty sure well, duh, people died. I didn't write it down.

SPEAKER_01

How would an oil take explode because of water?

SPEAKER_00

Pressure, I'm guessing.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, alright, yeah, I was just okay, alright. Physics, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. No, you're good.

SPEAKER_00

Uh the flooding surpassed six to nine feet, I'm pretty sure. Which is fucking whack. Like, what's out of kayak? But, um, alright, Uruguayan flight 571. Crash landed in the Andes Mountains on its way to Chile on October 13th, 1972. The survivors of the crash resorted to eating the cadavers of the other passengers in the following days. Rescue efforts were called off a mere ten days later, but 72 days later, two men alerted the authorities of the 16 other survivors left in the mountains.

SPEAKER_01

That was that rugby team. I was just reading about that. So, like, I didn't have that in the And there is there's a movie and a book about it called Alive, which uh because it I mean it's horrible.

SPEAKER_00

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. I mean 1972. What 1972?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, no. These people are walking around.

SPEAKER_01

That's yeah, it's like six died upon impact, others were killed by weather conditions, and even more in an avalanche. Sixteen survived and inspired the book and movie Alive. I'm gonna write that down because I I think I want to watch that tonight. Yes, we should.

SPEAKER_00

I'm just saying, like, imagine walking around. Dude, this is actually like a fact. You're walking around, you walk past like quite a few serial killers in your lifetime. But like, you really have no idea what people have done.

SPEAKER_01

No, or been through.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Cause like, imagine you're walking in the street, and you have no idea that the guy sitting or whatever, sitting next to you on the metro or some shit, has ate a person.

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_00

You have no idea. I mean, you That's why my fucking anxiety is so bad. I'm like, oh my god, this guy's a serial killer.

SPEAKER_01

You know what? I mean, that's that's real though. Like, honestly, I'm not even gonna lie.

SPEAKER_00

I'm always convinced that everybody around me in public is like just planning to kill me. That's probably schizophrenia.

SPEAKER_01

I don't think that I mean that's a little paranoid, but um, okay, it's a lot paranoid.

SPEAKER_00

I don't I don't like think things that it's just like oh my god.

SPEAKER_01

Well, like so our body, like, we naturally can like sense when somebody's like watching us or if like let's say the backyard. Yeah. Yeah, but it's a real thing. Like, um, your your body, your body has this, you know, our natural, you know, fight or flight responses. I mean, it's in it's it's in our DNA, in our denna. So we know when somebody's watching us.

You know, if you can't, even if you don't see it, you know. You can feel it, you can sense it. It's that sixth sense.

SPEAKER_00

It's so fucking cool to see the remnants of like our caveman instincts like in the surface nowadays. Yeah. It's so cool. Yeah, it really is. Because uh that one tendon we have on our wrist right here, uh, touch your pinky to your thumb. And if you have that freaky little tendon right there, yeah, then that is meant for climbing.
