  • The Burari Deaths: 11 People, One House, One Terrifying Diary

    On July 1, 2018, eleven members of a family were found dead inside their home in Burari, Delhi.

    Ten were found hanging together. The elderly matriarch, Narayani Devi, was found in another room.

    What followed was a disturbing investigation involving handwritten diaries, ritual instructions, spiritual beliefs, CCTV footage, forensic evidence, and the belief that a dead family member was still communicating with them.

    Police eventually concluded there was no evidence of outside involvement. But the diaries raise a far more unsettling question: what did the family believe they were actually doing that night?

    In this episode of FEARFEED, we reconstruct the Burari deaths from the discovery of the bodies through the investigation, psychological autopsy, and eventual police closure report, separating documented evidence from speculation.

    11 people. One house. A decade of handwritten instructions. And a night that ended with all of them dead.

  • Khamar-Daban Incident: Six Dead, One Survivor | Fearfeed

    In August 1993, seven hikers entered the remote mountains of southern Siberia. Only one came back.

    On Khamar-Daban, a sudden and terrifying sequence unfolded. One hiker collapsed. Then another. According to the sole survivor, Valentina Utochenko, the others began behaving strangely, screaming, grabbing at their throats and tearing at their clothes before collapsing one after another.

    The official explanation was hypothermia. But the circumstances surrounding the deaths have continued to fuel questions about what really happened on that mountain.

    Was it extreme cold, exhaustion and exposure? Altitude-related illness? Something else entirely?

    In this episode of FEARFEED, we reconstruct the final journey of the group, examine Valentina's testimony, the harsh weather conditions, the official explanation, and the theories that have kept the Khamar-Daban Incident alive for more than three decades.

    Seven went into the mountains. Six never came back. One survived with the story.

  • Kundanbagh Haunted House: The 2002 Mystery Behind Hyderabad’s Ghost Story | FEARFEED

    Kundanbagh Haunted House. Hyderabad. Three women. One abandoned home. And a ghost story that refuses to disappear.

    In 2002, the decomposed bodies of 56-year-old Jayaprada and her two daughters were discovered inside their Kundanbagh residence after neighbours had not seen them for months. A bottle of black liquid was reportedly found inside the house, and subsequent forensic reporting said the deaths were consistent with phenol ingestion. Police were also looking for burglars who had entered and looted the house after the deaths.

    But that was only the beginning of the Kundanbagh legend.

    Stories of candles burning at night, strange screams, shadowy figures and bottles allegedly filled with blood transformed a real tragedy into one of Hyderabad’s most talked-about haunted-house stories. In 2014, police had to intervene after youngsters began gathering at the property because of stories spreading online. Years later, the Kundanbagh haunted house went viral again as YouTubers and social-media users began visiting the location at night.

    In this episode of FEARFEED, we go back to the reported 2002 case, examine what happened inside the Kundanbagh house, trace the origins of the haunting legend, and separate documented evidence from rumours, internet mythology and paranormal claims.

    Was Kundanbagh really haunted? Or did a tragic death become a ghost story over time?

    Three women. One house. One story that Hyderabad never quite forgot.

  • The Lead Masks Case: Two Men, Two Masks, No Explanation | Fearfeed

    In August 1966, two electronics technicians climbed Morro do Vintém in Niterói, Brazil, carrying raincoats, water, capsules, cryptic handwritten instructions, and two strange lead masks.

    Days later, Miguel Viana and Manoel Pereira da Cruz were found dead side by side on the hillside. There were no obvious signs of violence. Beside them were the masks, a bottle of mineral water, handwritten notes, and instructions that mentioned taking capsules, protecting metals, and waiting for a signal.

    What were they preparing for?

    Over the following years, investigators explored poisoning, suicide, spiritualist experiments, murder, robbery and UFO theories. Their bodies were exhumed. Toxicology tests were conducted. Hair samples were subjected to neutron-activation analysis. Yet the cause of death remained unexplained.

    And then there is the most frustrating piece of all: much of the original investigation, reportedly thousands of pages, disappeared.

    In this episode of Fearfeed, we separate the documented evidence from decades of mistranslations, sensational theories and internet mythology to examine what actually happened on Morro do Vintém.

    Two men. Two lead masks. One cryptic plan. And a mystery that still has no definitive answer.

  • Roopkund: The Skeleton Lake Mystery | FEARFEED EP. 008

    High in the Himalayas lies Roopkund Lake, better known as Skeleton Lake, where hundreds of human remains have been scattered around the frozen shoreline.

    For decades, the mystery seemed to have a simple explanation: a group of travelers caught in a catastrophic hailstorm.

    Then scientists looked closer.

    Ancient DNA revealed that the skeletons did not all belong to the same population, or even the same century. Some individuals date to around 800 CE, while another group arrived roughly a thousand years later, with ancestry linked to the Eastern Mediterranean.

    In FEARFEED Episode 8, we explore the legends surrounding Nanda Devi, the hailstorm theory, the archaeological evidence, radiocarbon dating, ancient DNA, stable isotopes, and the haunting question that remains unanswered:

    Who were the people who reached Roopkund, and why did they die there?

    A story of frozen mountains, ancient bones, forgotten travelers, and a scientific discovery that made one of India's strangest mysteries even stranger.

    Listen to FEARFEED and decide what you think happened at Skeleton Lake.

  • The Wow! Signal: 72 Seconds That Still Have No Answer | FEARFEED

    In 1977, the Big Ear radio telescope in Ohio detected a powerful, unusually narrowband radio signal from the sky. It lasted just 72 seconds, appeared at 1420 MHz, matched the expected pattern of a celestial source passing through the telescope's beam, and then disappeared.

    Astronomer Jerry Ehman found the resulting sequence on the computer printout: 6EQUJ5. Beside it, he wrote one word: “Wow!”

    Nearly five decades later, the Wow! Signal remains one of the most famous mysteries in the history of SETI and radio astronomy.

    In this episode of FEARFEED, we follow the signal from its discovery in 1977 through decades of follow-up searches and competing explanations. We examine the Big Ear telescope, the 72-second rise and fall of the signal, its position near the 21-centimeter neutral hydrogen line, and the strange single-beam paradox that made the detection so difficult to explain.

    We also explore searches using the Very Large Array (VLA), the Tasmania 26-meter radio telescope, and modern Breakthrough Listen observations, along with theories involving radio-frequency interference, satellites, space debris, instrumental errors, and extraterrestrial intelligence.

    Finally, we examine the newer super-radiance hypothesis, involving an energetic event such as a magnetar interacting with a cloud of neutral hydrogen. The model offers a possible natural explanation for the signal's intensity, narrow frequency, and one-time appearance, but it remains a hypothesis, not a confirmed explanation.

    The deeper question isn't simply whether the Wow! Signal came from aliens.

    It's whether a single unexplained signal can teach us that our assumptions about what an extraterrestrial transmission, or even an unfamiliar natural phenomenon, should look like may be wrong.

    What actually produced the Wow! Signal?

    Almost 50 years later, we still don't know.

  • The Unknown Wanderer: A Possible Link to the 1982 Tylenol Murders

    The “Unknown Wanderer” was unidentified for more than 40 years. Now, investigators say the man who died from cyanide poisoning in a Boise church in 1982 was Dr. Mathew Francis Betkouski, a chemist whose story may intersect with one of America’s most notorious unsolved crimes: the 1982 Chicago Tylenol murders.

    FEARFEED investigates the Boise cold case, the mysterious identity of Mathew Francis Betkouski, the keys and false name found with him, his chemistry background, and the evidence that prompted investigators to share information with authorities in Chicago. But how strong is the connection to the Tylenol murders, and what remains unproven?

    A true crime investigation into the Unknown Wanderer, Mathew Francis Betkouski, cyanide poisoning, the Chicago Tylenol murders, and one of the most enduring unsolved mysteries of 1982.

  • Ben Drowned: The Creepypasta That Came Alive | FEARFEED #005

    What if a video game didn’t just scare you, but started watching you back?

    In this episode of FEARFEED, we explore Ben Drowned, one of the most infamous creepypastas and internet horror stories ever created. What begins with an old Nintendo 64, a mysterious copy of The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask, and a strange save file named Ben slowly turns into something far more disturbing.

    As the game begins behaving in impossible ways, familiar characters become unsettling, glitches seem intentional, and the line between a fictional horror story and an interactive nightmare starts to disappear.

    We follow the story through its Majora’s Mask imagery, the mysterious Ben save file, the Fourth Day Glitch, the Happy Mask Salesman, the Elegy of Emptiness statue, and the increasingly disturbing events surrounding the player.

    But Ben Drowned was more than just a creepypasta. Its presentation as an evolving online story and ARG (alternate reality game) helped make it one of the defining pieces of early internet horror.

    This is the story behind Ben Drowned, one of the most iconic creepypastas, gaming horror stories, and internet mysteries of its era.

    FEARFEED explores creepypastas, true crime, unsolved mysteries, internet mysteries, strange cases, and the darker stories hidden across the web.

  • The Austin Yogurt Shop Murders: The Case That Haunted Texas for 34 Years | FEARFEED #004

    In December 1991, four teenage girls were murdered inside an Austin yogurt shop. What followed was one of the most disturbing investigations in Texas history: thousands of tips, false confessions, wrongful convictions, and a case that remained unsolved for more than three decades.

    The Austin Yogurt Shop Murders became infamous not only because of the brutal crime, but because four young men were eventually accused and convicted despite evidence that would later undermine the case against them.

    Decades later, advances in DNA analysis, genetic genealogy, and forensic ballistics reopened the investigation. A DNA connection and a ballistic lead eventually pointed investigators toward Robert Eugene Brashers, a man who had already died years earlier.

    In 2026, the four men connected to the case were formally exonerated.

    In this episode of FEARFEED, we follow the case from the night of the murders through the investigation, the false confessions and convictions, the DNA evidence, the eventual identification of Brashers, and the questions that still surround one of America's most haunting unsolved murder cases.

    This is the story of the Austin Yogurt Shop Murders.

    FEARFEED explores true crime, unsolved mysteries, strange cases, and the darker stories hidden inside real investigations.
