Neither had we.Since 1988, more than 16,000 persons have disappeared in the Alaska Triangle. A missing person rate more than double the national average. What could be the cause of all those missing persons cases? The rough natural environment, foul play or vast expanses of forest? Or could it possibly be something supernatural?

Ashley Rosewood from Studying Scarlet Podcast teamed up with Emily for this week's mid-week special crossover episode focusing on some truly mysterious cases from Germany.Emily discusses the little known tale of the exorcism of Gottliebin Dittus. In 1840, a relatively unlikable (by 1840s Germany standards) young woman, Gottliebin, began to experience some strange happenings from phantom knocks and bangs in the home to loss of consciousness and bleeding breasts. After observing her convulsing and speaking in multiple languages,local pastor, Johann Cristoff Blumhardt, determined she must be possessed by not 1 or 2, but 1067 demons and lost souls who were themselves possessed. It took nearly 2 more years and some horrific occurrences for Gottliebin to finally be rid of the evil. Ashley tackles the sad story of the girl in the box. On September 15, 1981, 10 year old Ursula Herrmann went missing on her short bike ride home. The eventual discovery of her body in a box only brought more questions than answers. Who could do this to a little girl? Did they actually intend to ransom her? Did they get the right man? Ashley explores the many strange twists and turns of this case and leaves both hosts feeling there is still much more to discover.Also, if you have any information regarding the missing person case of Ashley Morin, please contact the Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers: 1-800-222-8477  https://www.p3tips.com/tipform.aspx?ID=206#Tipline Email: shorturl.at/pHKMXhttps://www.facebook.com/bringashleymorinhome/Check out Studying Scarlet Podcast on https://linktr.ee/StudyIngScarlet to find them on all your favorite listening and social media platforms

This episode was a recommendation from our wonderful spirit, Tom, from Apocalypse in Review podcast.This week, Emily tackles the very strange story of the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, California. Sarah Winchester suffered many hard losses in her life, and in her later years, she used the immense fortune she'd inherited to build an incredible 24,000 square foot mansion. Continually under construction from 1886-1922, the home had no formal blue print. Rumor has it, Sarah would hold nightly seances to convene with the spirits, who would in turn tell her where and what to build next. These instructions from beyond the veil were then handed to her dedicated construction crew, who carried out Sarah's every wish, no matter how unusual. In the end, the property sprawled across 4.5 acres and contained oddities such as a cabinet spanning the length of 30 rooms, stairways that lead to no where and 13 bathrooms, only one of which was functional. Was Sarah truly haunted by the ghosts of Winchester victims or was she simply a lonely, heart broken philanthropist who used her fortune to lift a local community? Sarah left no diary and answered no interviews, so we will likely never truly know.Don't forge to check out this week's spotlight, The Native Arts and Culture Foundation, which supports the arts and cultures of Native American, Alaskan Native and Hawaiian Native communities https://www.nativeartsandcultures.org/donateThis week's featured podcast trailers were fromKudzu Killers: Homicide and Sweet Tea https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/kudzu-killers-homicide-and-sweet-tea/id1517389908And The True Crime Witch Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-true-crime-witch-podcast/id1483665898Merchandise for Drink Drunk Dead can be purchased at https://www.teepublic.com/user/drink-drunk-dead-podcast

In this week's episode, Joel takes us overseas to an island off the coast of Japan, known as Okinawa. This ancient island has history spanning the ages from Samurai to soldiers. Until its demolition in 2009 ,the American Air Base located on the island was home to what was considered the most actively haunted home in the entire US military system. A father murdered his entire family and took his own life, then the next family to occupy the home, repeated the same terrible story. The phantom children around the home were known to ask the children at the neighboring daycare center for toys, and a female spirit and the shade of an ancient Samurai warrior would make their presences known within the home.Elsewhere on the island, a cave near the location of a WWII Japanese field hospital is said to be haunted by the spirits of young women who took their lives inside, out of fear of the impending American occupation. An old man watches over the those who venture near a local suicide cliff. Locals fear the sight of him, because after each reported encounter bodies of deceased will wash up on the shore just a few days later. Is he an angel of death? Is he warning visitors of the danger? Or is he seeking help for those who have jumped into the water below?SpotlightDon't forget to check out this week's spotlight, Transwomen Inc.
