We had an idea for this weeks episode, we had intended to talk about strange paranormal or supernatural occurrences reported during wartime, or within the military. At the last minute I changed the plan, I wanted to talk about my sister and her murder. Its not a crazy story nor is it very long with tons of characters and wild strange twists, it's just what happened. I believe I have mentioned it before in some episodes and I felt like talking about it this week, maybe for personal closure or just felt it was right to talk about it.
Nate had an idea for looking at some supernatural and paranormal incidents during wartime. We have all heard of the common ones like foo fighters and gremlins though we may still delve into them. As he was looking for some he came across this reddit story and decided to share it. Honestly after hearing it and learning this is only the 1st part of 5 I'm going to go read the rest because it was interesting and left too many questions still.
We've talked about skinwalkers before but this week I thought it may be interesting to dig through some subreddits and find personal encounters with skinwalkers, so we come with a few stories of different peoples experiences with possible skinwalkers. I read through several and decided on a few that felt pretty interesting.
This is a pretty rough case like some others I have done, while reading and researching the case I found that thankfully a lot of the explicit details weren't presented in the sources I read from, this doesn't in anyway lessen how horrible this case was and what was done to these individuals but what I can only describe as monsters. I apologize for how I'm talking in this episode, due to getting over covid again I'm a bit short of breath still.
Nate takes control this week and brings some stories of crimes committed through. We've all heard some of these stories, not necessarily the ones Nate brings today, but warnings and unfortunate events that happen due to people either giving out too much information on the internet and social media or being lured through chat to real life locations. One of the stories Nate has in this episode is a familiar one to most of you, the craigslist murders.
This was a tough episode, not as in hard to talk about, but hard to write anything for so we take a different approach this week. I have a list of strange possibly morbid traditions from around the world and tell them to Nate then we talk a little about each one.
After a two week hiatus we are back with some Florida man stories. It is a crazy place down here and I'm sure you've all heard some crazy stories about this state so we decided to share a few crazy ones we found. The main one I cover is actually really close to where I live and I heard nothing of it until specifically looking for Florida man stories.
First up the story of Patty Hearst and the Symbionese group. Was she a willing or unwilling participant? Did she have Stockholm syndrome? It's a tricky one to tell given some of the things that happened. After that I have a short snippet about the great Wisconsin cheese heist.
If you've listened to a good amount of our episodes you may know I tend to bring the horrific stories compared to what Nate brings to the table. This week is no exception, I start us of with The Hi-Fi Murders, what is initially believed to be a robbery in 1974 takes a much darker turn, sadly leaving three dead and two scarred for life. Following that up Nate talks a little about the Geezer Bandit, a bank robber who appears to be in his 70's but there may be more to it.
True crime this week. Nate talks about something he found on reddit, the story of Tom Justice, a bank robber who was known as the Choir Boy and later the Bicycle Bank Robber, I do prefer the first name do to why they called him that and I also feel what he did with what he stole also fit that name. Then I talk about the murder David Auchterlonie. It's a sad tale of a pointless murder, or a thrill kill as a judge described it since there was no reason for what happened to happen.
