Legend has it that, hidden away deep in Arizona's Superstition Mountains lies a lost gold mine. Once upon a time it belonged to man named Jacob Waltz who, on his deathbed, revealed its location. Despite that, though, the mine has evaded discovery ever since Jacob's death. But, it's not for a lack of trying - in fact, hundreds of people have since set out in search of the lost mine, and many of them are met with disastrous results.

This is the story of the Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine.

In December of 1872, a merchant ship was discovered floating aimlessly about in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, with its crew nowhere to be found. There was no sign of foul play, nor were there any clues at all as to why exactly the crew abandoned their ship and, to this day, it remains one of the most fascinating mysteries of the high seas.

The 1800s were a time when superstition ran wild through the Irish countryside, but as the century began to come to a close, more and more people were getting an education and many superstitions were beginning to fade away. That being said, there were still plenty of people who held onto the beliefs of old, and sometimes this could have disastrous consequences.

This is the story of Bridget Cleary.

Music:

No one to credit for this week because I made all the music for this episode. Wow! Hopefully it doesn't suck. I might put it on Patreon or Soundcloud or something at some point. If anyone would have any interest in downloading the music I compose for the show, let me know and I'll get that figured out.

In May of 1957, a terrible tragedy struck the Pollock Family when young Jacqueline and Joanna Pollock were hit and killed by a crazed woman attempting vehicular suicide. Their parents were mortified. They had no idea what to do, so they did anything they could to help cope with the grief of losing both their daughters. Ultimately, John Pollock turned to religion - specifically reincarnation. He came to believe that someway, somehow, his girls would return to him and, as crazy as it may seem, they did. Or at least he believes that they did.

This week we tell the story of the Pollock Twins.

Those who managed to see it and survive to tell the tale described the beast as being a massive, wolf-like creature with reddish fur, glowing eyes, massive teeth, and dark lips that curved back into a sinister grin.

This week we tell the story of The Beast of Gévaudan.
