Horrifying History

People go missing all the time. All of us have seen terrified families on TV begging for their loved ones to come home, and then many people turn the channel. For those families, they can’t change the channel. Children alone account for an estimated 8 million individuals who go missing world wide per year. This is a massive amount, and an even larger amount of loved ones that may never get an answer on what happened.

Anyone regardless of gender, age, ethnicity, or educational background may become a missing person. Today we are going to hear a couple of these stories, and hopefully someday their loved ones may get the answers they need.

The American Founding Fathers...without them, there would be no United States of America.

This group of predominantly weathy plantation owners and business men united the thirteen colonies, fought for independence from Britain, and wrote a series of governing documents that still steers the countries direction today. These men revolted against their king, outlined their grievances in a powerful document that called for their freedom, and then fought for that freedom. They won what was considered to be a stunning victory over what was then the world's strongest superpower.

But the thing is that these men were still men. They were regular humans just like the rest of us, and like the rest of us - they had secrets that was best kept under wraps. You know what they say about secrets though...someday they always come out.

The Hanged Man, The Chariot, The Devil, Judgment...with their iconic imagery, ancient symbols, and links to religion; tarot cards are seen as full of mystery. To sceptics, practices like card reading are not relevant in our modern times. But when you take a closer look, these beautiful pieces of art reveal that the power in the cards is not mystical, but comes from the ability of their imagery to illuminate our most complex issues and desires.

There have been many studies done on why people stay in relationships with partners that do not fulfill their desires and needs. Many of these studies show that people who stay in these types of relationships suffer from low self esteem, may perceive themselves to be less attractive, or have lower standards. Others believe that it also has to do with people seeing their romantic partners in an unrealistic positive way, or that they consider the alternatives not as desirable.

In the stories that you will hear today these may have been considering factors, but it still hard to believe that a low self esteem would have made these women stand behind their man.

Today is a really special day for me for several reasons…first - this episode is our last episode for season one! The other reason is that today you will hear an interview that I did recently with an amazing lady.

Malia Miglino is an actor and makeup artist who lives and works out of Los Angeles, California. She has her own YouTube Channel, and is the host of two of my favourite shows…Macabre Mondays and Grave Hunter. Her passion for story telling, history, and everything spooky inspired her to create her first show Macabre Mondays, which quickly gained a loyal following of who she calls her #creeps to which I am happy to say that I am one.

After learning about the increasing numbers of historic cemeteries disappearing, Malia created a second show called Grave Hunter to bring awareness to this issue, and help remember our ancestors. She has been around the world to speak on panels, travel to historic and possibly haunted locations, and does so with enthusiasm, and a glass of wine.

Historically; societies that believed in witches both hated, and feared them. This hate and fear was often directed at people for various reasons, and unfortunately resulted in them being subjected to witch trials. Because of this, many of their fates were sealed.

In this episode we will be telling the stories of some of these poor souls, which are more strange and terrifying than one would imagine.

The concept of moving between different points in time has been a very popular topic in science fiction for years. TV shows Dr. Who and Star Trek, along with movies like the Back to the Future Series, show people getting into some sort of machine and time travel to various points in the past or future, and then jump into an adventure.

But is time travel real? Scientists do not agree. Some say that any attempt to time travel will kill the human who tries, and others believe it is completely possible. There are also others who think it already has happened.

Voodoo is not what people think it is. It isn’t portrayed accurately in movies, TV, and in books. Voodoo is not devil worship, and its practitioners are not witchdoctors or evil. Voodoo is not a practice that intends to hurt or control others. So, what actually is voodoo?
