History Creeps

In the late 1970s, the world was shocked by the events at Jonestown when over 900 followers of the People's Temple cult committed suicide at the behest of their leader Jim Jones. One family was able to escape the grip of the cult before that horrific day, however they would meet with another horrific end. And, in late December 1961, Brian Dutton returned home from a long day at work in Liverpool to find his wife Maureen the victim of a vicious stabbing. His two children were left alive, nothing was stolen from the home, and there was no sign of break in or struggle. Investigators were convinced a cult was to blame. Others weren't so sure.

Art Bell, founder and host of paranormal radio talk show Coast to Coast AM, died at home on Friday, April 13, 2018.

On this episode of That's Odd, Johnny and Chris remember Art Bell and how he and his show influenced them and a generation of paranormal enthusiasts.

This week, Chris and Johnny explore two very different kinds of killers. One would terrify almost everyone she met, eventually committing one of Australia's most gruesome crimes and becoming the first woman in the country to be sentenced to life imprisonment without the chance of parole. The other would be considered one of the nicest men to live in the town of Carthage, Texas, caring for half the town in their times of despair, and eventually befriending a woman who would lose her life at his hands. 

Disclaimer: Johnny asked that we warn listeners - His story is rather gruesome and can be a little much to hear for those who may be sensitive to such things. If you'd like to skip it, Chris's story starts at around 28:30.

Jack Parsons was a rocket engineer in the 1930s who is widely credited as pioneering the advancement of both liquid-fuel and solid-fuel rockets. Without many of his breakthroughs, America may not have ever had a space shuttle program. However, along with his brilliant mind and great contributions in the field of rocket science, there existed a darker side to Parsons. Devil conjuring, obsessions with the occult, and relationships with the likes of Aleister Crowley and L. Ron Hubbard were just a small part of his bizarre and creepy life. Join Chris, Johnny and Carter as they delve into this month's round table discussion on this episode of History Creeps.

On this episode of That's Odd, a town bully finds out the phrase "nice guys finish last" is not always right, and a hotel built to impress titans of business becomes a magnet of death and sorrow. Ken McElroy terrorized the town of Skidmore, Missouri, and when a couple of the residents decided they'd had enough, he became the focus of international attention. And, the Hotel Cecil was originally intended to be a haven for business travelers passing through Los Angeles. However, it would soon serve as a beacon for those who felt they could not continue living in this world. Join Chris and Johnny as they explore more of the odder side of history on That's Odd.
