Introducing You Can't Hide Here (PODCAST EXCLUSIVE EPISODE) from MrBallen Podcast: Strange, Dark & Mysterious Stories.

Follow the show: MrBallen Podcast: Strange, Dark & Mysterious Stories

This is a special bonus episode of our new format called, "You Can't"

On a dark fall night in 2010, two detectives stood in the street in an upscale suburban neighborhood outside of Boston, Massachusetts. In the middle of the road – lit by their flashlights – lay the body of a teenage boy. These were two veteran detectives, but neither of them had ever seen the type of brutal violence that had been inflicted on this young man. His legs look shattered, his jeans had been shredded, and his face was bruised and broken. The detectives felt sure this young man had been murdered, but because he had no ID on him, they didn’t know who he was. But when they did finally discover his identity, this case would take a totally bizarre turn. The detectives would find themselves 1,000 miles away from their crime scene, sifting through reported sightings of their victim that defied the laws of physics, and grasping at an insane theory that they hoped could somehow tie it all together.

Alice in Wonderland is an children’s novel that was written by Lewis Carroll in 1865.  It is now known as one of the best works of Victorian literature, and believe it or not - it has never been out of print.  This story has been adapted to become movies, television shows, musical theatre, ballet, theme parks, video games, and much more.  But what many don’t know is that the main character of Alice was based on a real person.  The story behind the real Alice and her relationship with Lewis Carroll is one that will make anyone go down their own rabbit hole.  

So get comfortable my spooky friends…you are about to hear the story of a little girl who became the obsession of a grown man, and this resulted in a famous novel that many still read to this day.  But before we get started, I want to give you all a heads up.  Today we will be speaking about pedophilic behaviours and child pornography.  Listener discretion is advised.

Introducing The Stranger (PODCAST EXCLUSIVE EPISODE) from MrBallen Podcast: Strange, Dark & Mysterious Stories.

Follow the show: MrBallen Podcast: Strange, Dark & Mysterious Stories

In the fall of 2003, two detectives were in the middle of a year-long homicide case, involving the brutal murder of a 19 year-old girl. And for the first time, they finally felt like they had a viable suspect. But when they pulled up to the suspect’s house to conduct a second interview, the detectives quickly realized the house was abandoned and their suspect had just disappeared overnight. And when they tried to track this suspect down, they discovered something totally bizarre that would turn their case on its head. Their suspect – who they believed murdered an innocent teenager – had supposedly been dead for over ten years.

Werewolves have been part of folklore since the times of Greek mythology.  In one of the earliest stories about werewolves; an Arcadian King named Lycaon decided to test Zeus by serving him a dish of his slaughtered and dismembered son to see if Zeus was truly the all seeing god that everyone said he was.  When Zeus found out, he was furious.  As punishment, Zeus turned Lycaon into a wolf and killed his fifty sons by bolts of lightning.  He then brought the hacked up son back to life, and it was he that succeeded his father on the throne of Arcadia.  

Through the ages, many have been fascinated by stories about werewolves.  Experts believe there are several reasons behind this which include the duality of humanity, the escapism of the stories themselves, and the moral and ethical dilemmas that these characters face.  We get a thrill from hearing about a werewolf being just like us during the day, but at night turning into an animalistic killer.  But sometimes; reality is much worse than the stories that we tell each other around campfires at night, and the story of the Wolfman of Hanover is one of those tales.

So get comfortable my spooky friends… today you will hear the story of Fritz Haarmann: The Wolfman of Hanover.  But before we do, I want to give you all a little heads up.  In today’s episode we will be talking about some very dark topics including: sexual assault, brutal murders, mutilation and dismemberment, and cannibalism.  Listener discretion is advised.

Follow the show: MrBallen Podcast: Strange, Dark & Mysterious Stories

On a fall night in 1987, a young woman was walking down the middle of a dark street in a rural Kentucky town. She heard a car turn onto the street behind her, and it sounded like it was driving fast, so she quickly got onto the sidewalk. Suddenly, the car screeched to a stop just a few feet away from her. The car doors flew open, and before the young woman knew what was happening, someone grabbed her, lifted her off the ground, and threw her into the backseat. The car sped off, and the terrified young woman would soon find herself in the middle of a horrific nightmare that would haunt her for almost 20 years…
