In the summer of 1981, 20-year-old Cindy Anderson vanished without a trace from her Toledo law office. No witnesses. No struggle. Just a locked door, a ringing phone, and a deepening mystery.

What followed was one of Ohio’s most unsettling cold cases — a story tangled in prophetic nightmares, shadowy suspects, and the lingering question: did Cindy see it coming?.

Once the home of Herb Baumeister, Fox Hollow Farm hides a dark past — the site where at least 11 men met brutal deaths. Decades after Baumeister’s suicide, the new owners began witnessing chilling phenomena: disembodied knocks, vanishing figures, and even violent attacks in the pool room where victims once perished. From the man in the red shirt to the whispered phrase “the married one,” this episode delves into the terrifying hauntings and lingering spirits of Fox Hollow Farm, where true crime and the paranormal collide.

It’s nearly 2 a.m. on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe. Inside the Sahara Tahoe casino, slot machines still jingle for a few lingering gamblers. But the night nurse, Donna Lass, is gone. Her logbook open mid-sentence, and the only clue is a mysterious phone call claiming she had a “family emergency.” No such emergency existed. Donna Lass vanished without a trace—and Lake Tahoe stirred once more with whispers of something sinister beneath its surface.

When Jodi Foster moved into Apartment 14 in Chico, California, she thought it was a fresh start. But from the very first night, something felt wrong. Disturbing dreams, phantom voices, and a child’s doll whispering threats were only the beginning.

In the quiet English village of Dodleston, a borrowed school computer became the epicenter of one of the strangest documented mysteries of the 1980s. Without internet or any external connection, messages began appearing—written in archaic English, claiming to be from a man living in the year 1546. The bizarre files described the house in perfect detail and responded to questions typed by the owners. Was it an elaborate hoax… or something far stranger? This is the true story of the Dodleston Messages—one of the eeriest cases of electronic communication ever recorded.

In 1929, a remote Hungarian village revealed one of the most chilling murder conspiracies in modern history. Dozens of women, led by a pipe-smoking midwife known as “Auntie Suzy,” quietly poisoned their husbands, children, and in-laws over two decades—often with the help of flypaper. The Angel Makers of Nagyrév justified their crimes as mercy… or liberation. But what started as whispers between neighbors turned into mass graves, arsenic-laced meals, and a legacy of death that shocked the world. This is the true story of how a quiet village became known as The Murder District.

In the sweltering summer of 1944, residents of a small Illinois town awoke to a strange sweet smell—and paralyzed limbs. As more victims reported choking fumes and prowlers, fear swept through Mattoon. Was it mass hysteria, a chemical attack, or something stranger? This is the story of the Mad Gasser: a faceless phantom who stalked a town at night, left no trace, and vanished into legend—leaving only questions in his wake.
