Some may argue that curses only hold sway over those who believe in them, but this story proves that they can manifest as real and tangible threats.
In 1921, when Carl Loges ignored a curse that had been cast upon his dream farm, he soon found himself in the grip of a malevolent spirit. The farm turned into a living nightmare and Carl was desperate for help.
A premonition eventually led to a murder conviction, and with that, the curse was broken and the nightmare came to an end.

Easter is a celebration of spring associated with renewal and rebirth. It has been a special day for thousands of years, tracing back to its ancient Pagan origins called Eostre. Celebrating this occasion is an inherent trait of humanity, bringing happiness to most of us.
However, for some, it may be a period of unrest and sometimes even violence. A tragic example is Robert George Irwin, also called, The Mad Sculptor, who took the day as an opportunity to claim the lives of three innocent people in 1937.

Experiencing a house fire can be one of the most devastating events in anyone's life. The suddenness of the fire, the helplessness one feels while watching their home and all their possessions go up in flames, and the aftermath of the disaster can leave a lasting impact on anyone.
In the aftermath of the fire, one has to deal with losing their home, possessions, and even more devastating, a loved one who was unable to escape the flames.
Although house fires can reach extreme temperatures, they cannot completely disintegrate a human body. There is always something left behind in the ash.
That was, until the disappearance of the Sodder children in 1945.

While the United States was recovering from the Great Depression, countless people remained down on their luck. Over 15,000 Americans were still living in shanty towns throughout the country.
The shack-like, self-made shelters that they lived in offered barely any protection from the elements and predators who were taking advantage of the still minuscule police budgets.
The poor souls who called the shanty towns home had to fight for every penny they made in the daily battle for survival that some would lose.
Especially in Cleveland, Ohio, when a hidden killer had set his sights on them.

Our homes are our safe places, our own little corner of familiarity and comfort to escape from the dangers of the world. When we lock our doors at night and lay our heads on our pillows, we do so believing that we are safe and that we will wake up the following morning unscathed.
Even if something goes bump in the night, most of us have some kind of plan in place to prevent harm. But what if there was no way to stop what was trying to harm you and your family?
That was the frightening reality for the Hackler family of Odon, Indiana. On June 21, 1940, some strange phantom phenomenon ignited twenty-eight fires in their home. It forced them to sleep outside and eventually move their home piece by piece.

Cow mutilations have occurred for centuries, and we are still not close to discovering what or who is doing them. Yes, some have been hoaxes as the owner attempts to gain attention, but there have been far too many to all be fake.
Take, for instance, the towns of Jerome and Bliss, Idaho. A bizarre butcher has plagued both cities for decades. Locals have blamed cults, satanic practices, the government, coyotes, and even extraterrestrials.
In this episode of Hidden Staircase, we will examine the clues and attempt to make our judgments based on the evidence. There is a culprit behind these killings. Is it a sacrifice to a deity, or is our livestock being abducted by space aliens and pieced apart to study? Let’s try to uncover the hidden truth.
