It’s no secret that true crime dramas are on the rise. Podcasts like “Serial” and television series like Netflix’s “Making a Murderer” have sparked the morbid curiosity in listeners and viewers alike.

Plus, there’s even great fictional content out there like “True Detective” on HBO (not Season 2, however).

If these shows speak to the inner investigator in you, here are 10 more offerings from Netflix that you’re definitely going to want to check out.

#10. “Inside the Criminal Mind”

This original series enlists the help of neurologists and criminologists to examine how some of the world’s most infamous killers, cultists, or kidnappers might have become that way.

#9. “The Investigator”

This British crime drama follows a researcher who delves into a series of unsolved murders. The first season deals with the case of a woman who disappeared, but the police never found her body.

#8. “The Staircase”

This documentary-style series follows the events that take place after a crime novelists’ wife is found dead at the bottom of the stairs in her home. It will surely be fun to play private detective as you try to figure out whether he did it or whether it was an accident after all.

It doesn’t get any more real than this documentary series, which profiles confessed killers on death row, and delves into the crimes that put them there.

#6. :Evil Genius:

Another documentary — this one digs into the 2003 attempted bank robbery by a pizza delivery man in Pennsylvania. But that’s only the tip of the iceberg. There are tons of conspiracy theories surrounding “America’s most diabolical bank heist,” so you’ll undoubtedly be kicking around your own ideas for a while after watching.

#5. “The Confession Tapes”

If you believe that only guilty people confess, you might feel differently after listening to these real life confessions. The criminals who made them claim to this day that they were forced into their guilty pleas.

#4. “Nurses Who Kill”

This documentary series outlines true stories of nurses obsessed with killing instead of curing. Fair warning:  you might think twice about checking yourself into the hospital after watching.

#3. “Murderous Affairs”

There are entire series dedicated to murderous spouses on various cable channels, but this documentary follows what happens when extramarital affairs go horribly wrong.

#2. “The Keepers”

This documentary series follows the murder of nun Catherine Cesnik, and eventually peels the layers back to reveal the long, covered up history of sexual abuse within the Catholic church.

#1. “Flint Town”

Flint, Michigan has way more problems than just their poisoned water supply. Sadly, many of them stem from the fact that their police force — which is responsible for 100,000 residents — consists of only 98 officers. This documentary series follows the Flint police as they interact with the community they’ve sworn to serve.

No matter where you grew up, there were likely some urban legends and spooky stories that everyone knew. Maybe they were about that old abandoned house that no one ever dared get too close to. Or perhaps they were about the woods where someone went missing many years ago.

Every state and every community has those delightfully scary stories, and here are 10 of the creepiest from different states.

Some of the people who boarded the ship Eliza Battle in February 1858 had no idea that they would never get off the doomed vessel. On March 1, the ship that was bound for Mobile and was loaded with cotton bales caught fire and 33 passengers and crew members died.

People say that sometimes you can see the burning Eliza Battle rise from the Tombigbee River, trying to make it all the way to its final destination.

2. Nebraska

If you dare to venture to Blackbird Hill in Nebraska on October 17, listen closely to see if you hear a woman screaming at the top of the hill. The voice belongs to a woman who was murdered by her jealous husband. The man stabbed his wife and jumped from the cliff. Spoooooooky.

3. Indiana

The town of Tunnelton got its name from all the railroad tunnels that surround it. The one called “The Big Tunnel” in town is supposedly haunted by a man who was beheaded during the construction of the structure.

Another ghost known to roam the tunnel is Henry Dixon, a watchman who was murdered there in 1908. His murder was never solved, and some believe that Dixon roams the eerie tunnel seeking justice.

Located in Cedar Rapids, Coe College is said to be haunted by a student named Helen Esther Roberts, who died during the 1918 flu pandemic. Roberts used to haunt Voorhees Hall, where she lived, and is thought to live in an old grandfather clock.

Students claim to have seen a ghost while the clock was being installed, a ghost that pulls the covers off of their beds and even plays the piano in the lobby on occasion. Others claim that the clock sometimes stops working at 2:53, the time when Roberts died. The clock was moved to Stuart Hall in the 1970s, and that’s where Roberts now plies her ghostly trade.

5. Maine

Of course the home state of Stephen King has a haunted lighthouse. It’s located on Seguin Island, two miles off the coast of Maine. The legend says that a lighthouse keeper and his wife moved into the structure in the mid-1800s and that the man had a piano and sheet music delivered from the mainland so his wife could play.

The wife learned one song and played it over and over, eventually driving her husband insane. The lighthouse keeper smashed the piano to bits with an axe before he murdered his wife: he then took his own life. Visitors say they sometimes still hear the ghostly song being played, or that they see the lighthouse keeper walking around carrying an axe. Is that a Stephen King story, or what?!?

If you happen to be near the town of Saugatuck in western Michigan, beware of the Melon Heads. Local folklore tells us that these creatures with small bodies and oversized heads haunt the woods around the town.

Some believe the Melon Heads were 19th-century children who suffered from hydrocephaly that made their heads swell and that a local hospital was conducting terrifying experiments on them. The little haunters are said to tap on car windows (especially if you’re parked and gettin’ it on).

During the battle of Poison Spring in April 1864, Union General Frederick Steele took over the home of a mailman named John Chidester to use as his headquarters. Chidester was thought to be a Confederate spy, and Union troops fired into the walls where they believed the man was hiding in a closet. Chidester fled to Texas, but the bullet holes can still be seen in the home.

Some believe that Chidester’s ghost still haunts the home, telling unwanted visitors to “Get Out!”

8. North Carolina

Edward Teach, better known as the famous pirate Blackbeard, reportedly haunts a cove on Ocracoke Island on North Carolina’s Outer Banks. After his capture, Blackbeard was beheaded and his head was displayed on a British ship. His body was thrown to the sea.

An area known as Teach’s Hole is known to be haunted by a headless body splashing around in the water. Some other people say Blackbeard haunts the area with a lantern, searching for his lost head.

9. Oregon

The Kuhn Cinema in Lebanon, Oregon has been around since 1936. Locals say that a teenager once plummeted to her death from the theater’s second balcony and has haunted the joint ever since. Some even say that her image occasionally flickers onto the screen, terrifying viewers. Keep ahold of that popcorn.

There’s something very strange happening at Riverside Cemetery in Appleton. The tombstone of a woman named Kate “Kitty” Blood is said to ooze, you guessed it, blood. One rumor says that Blood was murdered by her husband. Another says that she was a witch.

The truth is that Blood died from tuberculosis at the age of 23. But her creepy name and the isolated location of her tombstone has become part of the local lore in Appleton.
