Send us a text On June 4th, 2010, 7 year old Kyron Horman was excited to present his project on red-eyed tree frogs at his elementary school's science fair. His step-mom Terri drove him to school, browsed the fair with him, snapped a photo of him next to his poster, and then said goodbye. She watched him turn around and walk down the hallway toward…

Send us a text In 1900, 20 miles off the coast, one of Scotland's greatest mysteries unfolded on the Flannan Isles. Its lighthouse, finished just one year earlier, failed to turn on. For days it remained dark, and when a ship came to relieve the island's keepers, they found the island deserted. All three lighthouse keepers had vanished into thin ai…

Send us a text In the summer of 1969, strange things started happening on Lake Worth, outside of Forth Worth, Texas. There were whispers of an odd creature- described as part man, part fish, and part goat- being spotted in a local nature preserve. What started out as an outlandish rumor became front-page news on July 10, 1969, when the creature jum…

Send us a text Last week, we toured the haunted streets of London's Whitechapel district and explored the hunting grounds of the world's most mysterious serial killer - Jack the Ripper. Since 1888, his identity has remained a mystery, with authors and self-proclaimed "Ripperologists" claiming they have all the answers. This week, we'll dig in to th…

Send us a text In the summer of 1888, the streets of London were a bleak affair. The working class were desperate, thunderstorms ravaged the streets and in the early morning hours, a devil was terrorizing the sex workers of Whitechapel. Arguably the most infamous serial killer of all time, Jack the Ripper would claim the lives of five women, mangli…

We'll talk about the mysterious…

Send us a text Last week, we joined the Donner Party on the first half of their journey from Missouri to California. When we last left them, they were camped out by Truckee Lake in the Sierra Nevadas, and snow began falling on their camp. The group could not know then what that snowfall meant, and the sad fate that would await them in the coming mo…

Send us a text In the spring of 1846, over 500 covered wagons set off from Independence, Missouri, headed West towards a new life. They could not fathom the difficulties and harsh conditions they would encounter along their journey, and this was especially true for one group of pioneers, now infamously known as the Donner Party. Most have heard sal…

Send us a text It's Valentine's Day, coven! And nothing says true love like a woman saving herself from her abuser. The story of Lorena Bobbitt is a muddled one, evoking images of an angry, jealous woman who exacted her revenge by cutting off her husband's penis. The true story, however, is much more sinister. John Wayne Bobbitt, while quite simple…

Send us a text What a week it's been, y'all. Tonight's episode focuses on mental respite in the form of laughter, and we invite you to escape from the real world for just a moment and join us for silliness... and maybe too much wine.

Send us a text There’s no shortage of disappointments this week, but perhaps none so great as the realization that one woman was not, in fact, dating Brad Pitt. An $855k disappointment to be exact. And then there’s the gal who was reported dead while she was still very much alive, a man whose face was set ablaze during surgery and a train full of a…

Send us a text In July 1969, the United States beat the Soviet Union in the decades long Space Race, taking one giant leap onto the surface of the moon. Neil Armstrong’s steps would go down in history as one of mankind’s greatest achievements. But there are those who question whether it happened at all. Was our technology really up to the task? Or …

Send us a text On February 1, 2012, Samantha Koenig was taken from a coffee stand in Anchorage, Alaska. Her disappearance made no sense to investigators. There weren't signs of a struggle, she'd sent an angry text to her boyfriend, and security footage showed two people walking through a parking lot arm in arm. But when a ransom note appeared weeks…

Send us a text Throughout the entirety of this podcast, we've heard this question over and over: "If UFOs are real, why haven't more people seen them?" It's a valid question, and yet the more we learn about extraterrestrial activity, the more we realize that people have been seeing them! And sometimes even on a massive scale. This week we'll learn …
