Red Room: A True Crime Podcast

This week we are exploring the world of Secret Societies.

From Bohemian Grove to the Freemasons, these private boys clubs are often said to hold the world in the palm of their hand, members are apparently puppet masters of the universe and bred for success from the get-go.... but just how powerful are they really?

We take a look at The Bohemian Club, Skull and Bones 322, The Freemasons, The Order of St Hubertus and Cicada 3301 and try to answer the question, do secret societies really run the world?

Have you ever heard the rumours that some of the biggest names in rock music made deals with the devil to achieve fame and fortune? From Robert Johnson's legendary crossroads story to Led Zeppelin's infamous fascination with the occult, the idea of selling your soul to the devil has long been a part of rock mythology.But is there any truth to these stories, or are they just urban legends? This week we'll explore the history and cultural context behind the idea of making a deal with the devil, and examine some of the most famous examples of alleged rock star pacts.

Betty & Barney Hill were a normal American couple, going about their everyday life, until one day everything changed.  While travelling home from a trip, the couple encountered what they described as a bright light hovering over their car.

Confused, they pulled over and this is where their memory gets blurry. When they 'came-to' they were back in their car, almost 60km away from where everything happened.

They struggled with their memories over this event for years, until they were introduced to hypnosis. What they recalled in those hypnotherapy sessions terrified them, and made their story one of the first and the most famous account of alien abduction.

Written, produced , edited & presented by Jenny Claffey, 2023.

Reincarnation to many in the Western world is something of fairytales, Christianity and Abrahamic religion has coloured our view of the concept so much we typically completely dismiss it. 

But, did you know, within many Asian and Eastern religions, reincarnation is central  to their beliefs? Jainism, Hinduism, Buddhism and Sikhism are just some of the religions who believe in a karmic cycle, resulting in each life that you life (there can be infinite numbers) to reflect the work you did in the last. 

The idea of reincarnation has always fascinated me... after all, wouldn't life be viewed so differently if we knew we could do it all again? Wouldn't we treat those we love and don't love, with more kindness and empathy if we knew karla could come back to haunt us?  This week we're talking about all things reincarnation, including two crazy stories that might even convince the biggest cynic, that reincarnation is real!

Elliot Rodger was born in 1991, to a upper-middle class family and although he was shy, he was a pretty normal kid.  

However as this shyness and introversion began to hinder his social life, he got older he began to grow bitter and resentful towards his peers. He found it hard to fit in, he struggled to talk to the opposite sex and often felt confused as to why this happened him.  

These, of course, are normal parts of growing up for many teenagers and young adults, but instead of persevering, Elliot became resentful, violent and dangerous. As Elliot became further isolated from society, his thoughts and fantasies became more extreme, helped along by a group of men he found online, who identified as "involuntarily celibate".

This is the story of how Elliot Rodger's narcissism and anger became so extreme, he went on a violent rampage in 2014 and took the life of 6 innocent people and may have influenced a string of violent incels for years to come.

Written, researched, produced & presented by Jenny Claffey, 2023.
