27 APR 2025 · "I have no doubt they died of an experiment with psychic forces for which they were ill-prepared and which turned out to be fatal."
By the end of 1967, the official investigation into the Lead Masks Case was brought to a close. The final police report listed the cause of death for both Miguel José Viana and Manoel Pereira da Cruz as undetermined.
There was no evidence of foul play. No external injuries. No signs of trauma. The bodies had not been robbed, nor had they been bound or restrained. No crime, as defined by Brazilian law, had seemingly taken place...

20 APR 2025 · “16:30 be at the specified location. 18:30 ingest capsules, after effect protect metals await signal mask.”
On 20 August 1966, a teenager was flying a kite on Vintém Hill, a rural location outside of Niterói, Brazil. He wasn't looking for anything unusual that Saturday afternoon, but partway up the hill, he discovered what looked like two mannequins. He'd rush home and tell his mother, who immediately alerted police.
Hours later, authorities arrived at the scene and documented what they found: two men laying side by side on the grass, arms and legs outstretched. There was no sign of violence or a struggle of any kind. But the other objects found at the scene - including a pair of strange, homemade lead masks worn by the two men - have led to a litany of unanswered questions in the decades since...

30 MAR 2025 · "Finding her body has burnt an indelible image in my mind. It is something a father should never have to suffer."
On the morning of 22 October 2018, family and friends of missing 24-year-old Toyah Cordingley would scour the area around Wangetti Beach, a quiet and secluded stretch of sand not too far away from Toyah's hometown of Cairns. There - partially buried in sand dunes - Toyah's body would be found, having endured "visible, violent injuries" before her death.
In the years since, police officials have remained tight-lipped about the specific details of their sprawling investigation. But it is believed that they have formulated a good case around the only named suspect, who fled the country just hours after Toyah's death...
This is a re-release of an older episode. Because of some expected updates in the case, I wanted to catch everyone up on the story before the next update episode.

23 FEB 2025 · "... they don't say whether she's still alive or where she is or what her name is. They don't tell you anything but that she was a middle-aged woman who was inspired by God and God spoke to her, so she started speaking God's word."
In September 2021, a mysterious Reddit account surfaced, claiming to be the long-lost leader of a controversial religious movement. The user, /u/yang_xiangbin, posted about an abusive marriage, exile, and an unexpected role in the rise of a group known as the Church of Almighty God - aka "Eastern Lightning" - an organization the Chinese government has labeled a dangerous cult.
Was this an elaborate hoax, or had one of the most elusive figures in modern religious history just reappeared online?

19 FEB 2025 · Truth isn't dead - it's been rewritten.
A corrupted broadcast. A signal breaking apart. An urgent message struggling to get through. Post-Truth is a new podcast that uncovers the moments in American history when facts were distorted, reality was rewritten, and the truth became negotiable. From the first great American myth to deepfakes and the AI-driven war on reality, this is the story of how we lost the signal—and what happens next.

16 FEB 2025 · "OFFICER SHOT. WHITE CHEVY VAN. NO PLATE."
In the early morning hours of 27 October 2006, Deputy Jeffrey Mitchell of the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office told dispatchers that he was pulling over a white Chevy van off of rural Highway 16. Seven minutes later, his radio "keyed," a common sign of distress. After failing to respond to calls on his radio and cell phone, dispatchers sent out other deputies to Mitchell's last known location with lights and sirens.
Arriving just minutes later, officers found Deputy Mitchell laying on the ground near his vehicle, bleeding from a single gunshot wound to the head. As they'd soon learn, he'd been shot with his own weapon during a "significant struggle" with an unknown person...

1 JUL 2024 · "The doctors tell us as long as he's being able to fantasize what he's done, he might not do it again. But the fantasy may wear off."
In the mid-1970s, a serial killer known as the BTK began to make his presence felt throughout Wichita. Sales of alarm systems in the area would skyrocket, as would the region's general sense of paranoia.
However, following his correspondence with law enforcement and the media at the end of the decade, the BTK grew silent. Years would pass without any word from the enigmatic killer, who investigators believed continued to lurk, waiting for his time to strike...

1 JUL 2024 · "How many people do I have to kill before I get my name in the paper or some national attention?"
Throughout the mid-1970s, a serial killer began to terrorize the residents of Wichita, Kansas. Preying upon men, women, and children - young and old - this individual defied all expectations by purposefully going against what criminal profilers were taught to believe.
After disappearing for a couple of years, this offender then committed a series of brazen attacks on young women inside their homes. Afterward, this offender began corresponding with police through the media, beginning a game of cat-and-mouse that would carry on for decades...

24 JUN 2024 · "For among the many excellent and indeed divine institutions which your Athens has brought forth and contributed to human life, none, in my opinion, is better than those mysteries..."
The Eleusinian Mysteries were ancient Greek rites held annually in Eleusis to honor the goddesses Demeter and Persephone. Spanning over two millennia, these ceremonies included secret rituals and the consumption of kykeon, promising initiates profound spiritual insights into life and death.
The exact nature of the Mysteries remains secret due to the vows of silence each initiate made. Scholars believe the rituals might have involved psychoactive substances, although their true origins and method remain unknown. These rites offered a transformative journey, their secrets continuing to intrigue and inspire millennia later...

17 JUN 2024 · "The family is living in fear. They are constantly watching their back looking over their shoulder wondering when the next shoe is going to drop."
Rickety Ranch, an animal sanctuary in Hollis, New Hampshire, billed itself as a safe space for children of all ages to come together and learn about animals. Having been built slowly over time by co-owners Gary and Diane Bergeron on their 2.6 acre property, the Rickety Ranch accepted all with open arms and tried to promote positivity.
But in 2017, a strange extortion campaign started. First came letters. Then came physical acts of vandalism, which soon progressed into something more sinister...

7 APR 2024 · "Petronilla said she had several times at Alice's instigation and once in her presence, consulted demons and received answers."
Born into the bustling mercantile life of 13th century Kilkenny, Alice Kyteler was the offspring of a Flemish merchant and his Irish wife. Her early life was one of privilege and learning, a rarity for women in those times. But it was not just her family’s standing that would shape her destiny; it was her cunning, her charm, and her ambition that set the course of her life.
Alice Kyteler’s life, marked by prosperity and strategic marriages, took a dark turn in 1324 when she became the focal point of a historic trial for witchcraft. Her wealth and social standing, which had once shielded her, now made her a target for those who sought to make an example of her...
