  • In a remote area of Siberia in June of 1908, there would be a massive explosion. According to most scientists, this explosion was caused by an asteroid that exploded with the power of 250 Hiroshima bombs. This explosion would be spotted around the world and have ripple effects. But at the time, hardly anyone knew it had happened because this area of Siberia was so incredibly remote. It wouldn’t be investigated until years later and scientists still can’t be one hundred percent certain of the cause. This explosion has led to thousands of scientific studies, and fascinating conspiracy theories. This is the story of the Tunguska event.

  • In the 1800s, a cemetery in Brunswick, NY opened to the public. The 22 acres were lush and green. Today, the cemetery is abandoned. While it is full of historic monuments and markers, many areas are falling apart and it is often vandalised. The cemetery is only open to the public one day out of the year. This place is chalk full of urban legends, stories of tragic deaths, and alleged paranormal activity. Some even say this place is a Gateway to Hell. This is the story of the Forest Park or “Pinewoods” Cemetery.

  • Beginning in about the 1980s, a wildfire would spread throughout the US, and by the late 90s, to many parts of the world. These were modern day witch trials. A distorted lens of hysteria had taken over, and the end result would be more than 12,000 unsubstantiated cases of Satanic ritualistic abuse. Lives were destroyed by unspeakable rumors and wrongful convictions. Not even Dungeons and Dragons and heavy metal music were safe. Churches were alleging backmasking was being used by rock musicians to put satanic messaging into their music. People were playing their records backwards to see if they were satanic. And to some extent, one could argue this movement still persists today. This is the story of The Satanic Panic.

  • On October 4, 1978 the body of a young female would be found along a rural road in Lyon County, Iowa. She was badly decomposed, partially clothed, and had been bound with rope. She was labeled a Jane Doe and the case quickly turned cold. She wouldn’t be identified until 28 years later in 2006. What happened to this woman and who was responsible remains a mystery to this day. This is the story of the Wilma June Nissen's unsolved murder.

  • There are several times in this episode I say "Casey" unintentionally. I am referring to Shawn CASEY Adkins.

    On December 27, 2010, a 13 year old girl of Mitchell County, Texas disappeared. She was last seen leaving her mother’s house to go hang out with a friend. But she never showed up. It wouldn’t be until March 16, 2013 Hailey’s remains were recovered. 8 years later, a man by the name of Shawn Casey Adkins would be arrested for her murder, who at the time of the disappearance had been dating her mother. He was given a prison sentence but recently on June 26, 2023, Shawn Adkins was released due to lack of evidence. Her death would shake Mitchell County and leave her family heartbroken and desperate for answers. So what happened to her? And will there ever be justice?

    This is Hailey Dunn murder case.

  • Today we will be concluding a true crime deep dive into arguably the most famous murder mystery in the history of France.

    If you missed it, be sure to listen to part 1 first.

    On April 21, 2011, police would discover the bodies of Agnès Dupont de Ligonnès, her four children Arthur, Thomas, Anne, and Benoît, and their two Labrador dogs buried in the back garden of their family home at 55 Boulevard Schuman in Nantes Loire-Atlantique, France. Agnes's husband, Xavier, was nowhere to be found.

    This was a picture perfect family stemming from nobility and Catholicism. They were full of personality and intelligence. They were well known and involved in their community.
    But throughout the investigation into these murders, it became apparent to police this family had deep and troubling secrets. In the coming weeks, Xavier would become the prime suspect in murders. He remains missing to this day.

    This is the story of the Dupont de Ligonnes family murders.

  • On Thanksgiving Eve, November 24, 1971, a northwest flight was commandeered by a man wearing sunglasses, a suit, and carrying a simple briefcase. He became a legend after he parachuted out of the plane with 200,000 dollars and was never seen again. He was later labeled the most clever and bold airplane hijacker of all time.
    We have just passed the 50th anniversary of the only unsolved airplane hijacking crime to date. So what happened to this guy? Who was he? And why did he do it? This is the story of DB Cooper.

  • Well known in Ohio folklore, there are humanoid frog-like creatures that stand at about 4 feet or 1.2 meters tall. According to local legend, they were first spotted around 70 years ago, in May 1955. Sightings by locals led to numerous police reports and would later inspire muscles, books, and more recently, even humorous horror found footage. In 2023, this creature even became the city's mascot. But were these sightings nothing more than a hoax? Was it a case of mistaken identity? Or was it an undiscovered creature? A creature from another dimension? This is the story of the Loveland Frogmen.

    In the second half of the episode, Kaydra also shares several other alleged cryptid encounters from Ohio including tales of Mothman and Dogman sightings.

  • This was my first ever documentary coverage on the Patreon, the story from the Netflix docuseries, American Nightmare! This is known in the media as "The Real Life Gone Girl" case. This is the story of Denise Huskins and her fight for justice. Do you think this assailant acted alone? Do you think he was the Mare Island Creeper? Do you think the FBI/ David Sesma could have allegedly been involved?

  • Today we will be discussing one of the most influential and iconic rappers of all time. Rising from a childhood of activism and poverty, he became an iconic poet, lyricist, actor, and rapper who helped redefine the sound of West Coast hip-hop. But his life was tragically cut short at the young age of 25 on September 7th, 1996. He was brutally shot four times at a red light on his way to a Las Vegas nightclub. Hours before the shooting, he was involved in the assault of a man named Orlando Anderson, who allegedly had ties to the Crips. This murder case went cold for over 25 years, fueling endless conspiracy theories and speculation about who was really behind his killing... or, if this rapper even died at all. However, in July 2023, a new search warrant was executed in connection to the murder. And now it seems the answers may have been there all along. This is the perplexing story of Tupac Shakur.

  • The motto of this cult is "Unseen. Unknown. Unheard." They managed to remain hidden for decades and were controlled by a woman claiming to be the female reincarnate of Jesus Christ. She ran this cult for 30 years. She abused the medical system, committing people to psychiatric hospitals without their consent and forcing them to have unethical medical procedures, as well as stealing babies from pregnant women and raising them as her own.She would severely abuse these stolen children for twenty years. She drugged adults and children and manipulated them into giving away their money. She had connections in politics, hospitals, and the education system, and this all was allegedly so she could have the perfect family.This is the story of one of the most evil women in Australian history, Anne Hamilton Byrne and her cult, also known as The Family.

  • We've all thought we've heard something and been mistaken. But what if you were persistently having these experiences? What if the sounds were vivid? Like an actual voice or song? What if you plugged your ears and the noise was coming from inside your head?

    This is different from a hearing problem or when some people say there's a narrator in their head. This is just how normal sound sounds to us, except it seems to be coming from inside your head. I'm talking about auditory hallucinations, also known as paracusias.

    Within my research into this topic, I also came across something called exploding head syndrome. And do I have some stories to share with you today. These types of experiences can also happen in such a way that the sound appears to come from another room.

    For me, the big question is, can this all be explained by science? Or could this have something to do with psychic/medium like abilities? Could this have links to the paranormal? I'll leave that up to you.

    Today we will dive into auditory hallucinations.

  • Kaydra reads the James Currie Film creepypasta by Alex McIntosh. It was a stormy night in Scotland, late December 1996, when Evie decided to drive to a great stately home with a waterfront view of Lochness and get her revenge. You've heard the story of Nessie the Lochness monster, but never like this.

  • On November 5, 1975, a 22-year old logger named Travis Walton was working in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest near Heber, Arizona. Part of a 7 man logging crew, Walton was a hard worker out of Snowflake, Arizona, and had gotten along with his co-workers without any issue. It seemed like any other typical day. But when 6 loggers would tell police their co-worker, Travis, had been taken by a UFO, things would go from ordinary to perplexing and unbelievable. The Travis Walton UFO incident is one of the most well-known alleged alien abduction cases in history. But was it a hoax? A crime? Or a true alien encounter. This is the story of the Travis Walton UFO Incident.

Thousands of people have claimed to have seen the hat man, with stories gaining popularity online in the 2000s. But are they just stories? Or is this something paranormal? A medical phenomena? Today we will be exploring the concept of the infamous Hat Man.

  • On the morning of Saturday, March 12, 2011, there would be a startling discovery. The Lululemon Athletica appeared to have been ransacked and in the back would be the brutally beaten body of 30 year old Lululemon employee Jayna Murray. There would also be a survivor, 28 year old Lululemon employee Brittany Norwood. Brittany would tell police after closing, 2 masked men came into the store and savagely beat, assaulted, and murdered Jayna. They also brutally assaulted Brittany, beat and bound her, and left her there to die.

    A senseless attack in an affluent and safe neighborhood, and the 2 monsters were still on the loose. It would be a media circus. Brittany and Jayna's families would be left to deal with the trauma and grief. But as investigators looked into the details of the crime, they would make the startling conclusion everything was not as it seemed. This is the story of the Lululemon Murder.
