This week we are reading the first three parts of the "Footsteps" story from the subreddit r/nosleep. This story was posted by u/1000vultures in October 2011. We read "Footsteps," "Balloons," and "Boxes." These stories tell creepy snippets of the author/narrator's childhood. Eerie circumstances, polaroids taken of the author as a child, and dead animals under their house add up to a goose-bumps-worthy multi-part tale.

In this week's episode, Ashlynn recounts the disturbing and mind-goggling mind control experiments conducted by the CIA during the Cold War. Following rumors that China and the USSR had cracked mind control, the CIA was desperate to learn the secret as well. Ran primarily by Dr. Sidney Gottlieb, MK Ultra was a disgusting and immoral study where experimenters dose subjects with various hallucinogens including LSD, psilocybin mushrooms, barbiturates, cocaine, heroin, and many others. The majority of the dosings were done without the subject's knowledge and were followed up with extreme torture. In 1973, the majority of the documents regarding the MK Ultra project were destroyed, but what little is left is just as concerning as it is confusing. Next week we will be covering two murders that took place in Tucson, Arizona!
In 'So Super Weird's' seventh episode, we cover a "body farm" in Phoenix, Arizona that was raided in 2014 by the FBI. Biological Resource Center, ran by Stephen Gore, was a heinous and disgusting facility that accepted donations of human bodies that they would then dismember and sell for profit. This chop shop ran without accreditation, without medical supervision, without identification of bodies, and without telling families what their loved ones' corpses would be used for.
We then go on to cover the obedience experiments operated by Yale professor and psychologist Stanley Milgram. Following the Nuremberg Trials, wherein Nazi criminals were tried for their crimes, Milgram wanted to test if ordinary people would exercise blind obedience to authority as those on trial did. In controversial and unethical experiments, Milgram tricked subjects into believing they were killing another person via electrocution.

This week Ashlynn and Cam take a deep dive into a crazy case that has stumped America for over forty years! The Zodiac Killer took the lives of five confirmed victims, though he claims it was a whopping 37. Between survivor testimonies, witness descriptions, and cryptic letters from the killer himself, police have a ton of evidence to go off, but this enigmatic case still remains unsolved. We cover definite victims, possible victims, suspects, and the recent news that independent investigators - the Case Breakers - have solved the case. We share our theory on who committed these heinous murders while trying not to freak out over this insanity.
Our most important source was https://zodiackiller.com/ ran by Tom Voigt since 1998. This is an incredible resource containing facts corroborated by law enforcement.
In the newest episode of So Super Weird, Ashlynn talks about a phenomenon/cryptid in the Appalachians and surrounding forests known as 'not deers.' Cam talks about the origins of the Mandela Effect and possible explanations. We talk about haunting examples of misremembering as well as parallel universes. Join us next week for the Zodiac Killer!
