Crafting the Case

This week on Crafting the Case, we head out into the foggy waters of Nova Scotia to explore shipwrecks, ghost stories, and the strange mysteries of the Atlantic. We dive into the history of Scatarie Island, the dangers of the so-called “Death Coast,” and the eerie legend of the Teazer Light — a burning ghost ship said to appear in Mahone Bay.
Along the way, we talk about how real tragedies turn into folklore, how places remember what people don’t, and why the ocean seems to hold onto its stories longer than we do.
And because we’re us, we balance the spooky with the cozy by crafting 2026 bingo cards — a fun, creative way to map out hopes, goals, and a few ridiculous dreams for the year ahead.
It’s a mix of mystery, memory, and making things — just the way we like it.

In Episode 27 of Crafting the Case, we take the show LIVE and head straight into the shadows with Nova Scotia hauntings — all while crafting decoupage Christmas ornaments alongside an incredible audience.
This episode is packed with spooky local stories, festive creativity, big laughs, and that unmistakable live-show energy. It was one of those nights where everything clicked: amazing people, eerie tales, and crafts flying everywhere.
Whether you’re here for the ghost stories, the crafting, or just to feel like you’re in the room with us — we’re so glad you’re listening.Huge thanks to everyone who came out and made this night so special. 🖤
🎄👻 Cozy, creepy, and completely Crafting the Case.
 

This week on Crafting the Case, Ashley walks us through the unbelievable true story of Nate Norman—a small-town teen who built a full-blown marijuana smuggling ring. She picked this case because she loves the movie Kid Cannabis, and the real-life story behind it is even wilder.

This week on Crafting the Case, Ashley brings us the strange and somber Nova Scotia tale of Percy Corkum, the young boy from Hantsport who was shot and killed in 1903 after throwing a turnip — a bizarre, heartbreaking piece of local history that feels more like folklore than fact.
Meanwhile, Tara and Sandi get creative with Day of the Dead–inspired vases, using paint markers to design colorful tributes while chatting about their upcoming live show on November 30th (tickets out now!).
Stick around for the after-show, where the trio catch up on what they’ve been watching and reading, and share a few good laughs between the true-crime chills and crafty vibes.
