Get Spooked by Listening to These True-Crime Podcasts Based on Your Zodiac Sign

We've officially entered spooky season, and some of us have begun lining up at the box office to view the latest horror movie. Don't get me wrong, I love a good Hollywood urban legend. But there's something about falling down the rabbit hole of true crime that is more chilling than any horror film. And with Halloween just around the corner, I can't think of a better way to celebrate the season than with true and terrifying podcasts centered around crime and murder (except maybe a scary-movie marathon, of course!).

But why listen to any old true-crime podcast when you could listen to one that is perfectly tailored to your zodiac sign? Astrology is a great way to find a show that is sure to raise the hair on your arms, so read on to find out what true-crime podcast you should listen to based on your zodiac sign.
