Today, we delve into a story of murder and mayhem; a narrative that twists and turns through the depths of human depravity. Fred and Rose West were not your average couple.

This week on Lucid Lab we go way back for a wicked history tale that unfortunately seems all too relevant to our current days.

The media had a heavy hand in framing Scott as th…

Amityville Horror - we’ve all heard the story, read the books, and watched the movies. But have you heard the real story of 112 Ocean Avenue?
