Today we tell you the mystery of the Lady of the Lake. On a summer morning in 1940, two brothers discovered a woman's remains floating on the surface of Lake Crescent in Washington. Even stranger, the woman's remains had a bizarre, soap like consistency. Listen to find out who the Lady of the Lake was in life and how she died, how investigators were able to determine the identity of the remains, the subsequent murder trial, and the bizarre decomposition process known as saponification.

Today we tell you about the mysterious disappearance of Misty Copsey, a 14 year old girl who disappeared after a fun day spent with a friend at the Puyallup Fair. We discuss some of the possible suspects, a possible connection to some other murders in the area, how botched the investigation into Misty's disappearance was, new methods investigators are using to try to get information about Misty's disappearance, and try to figure out why her friend was later caught in a lie by the cops. ft. escape goats

In today's episode we tell you all about one of my favorite cryptids, the Fresno Nightcrawlers, and a few other sightings of similar creatures around the country. In 2007, a man was woken up by his dogs and security system going off. When he checked his security camera footage, he didn't find a burglar like he expected, but instead multiple tiny white creatures that resembled walking pajama pants. We cover some sightings, and get into the theories behind what these creatures are and where they could've come from.
