Strange and Unexplained with Daisy Eagan

In 1911 a woman named Zsuzsanna Fazekas, who would come to be called Aunt Suzy, arrived in the small village of Negyrev, Hungary. She had seemingly no past or family ties, but quickly established herself as the local midwife and confidant of the women of Negyrev. Soon, Suzy was holding court, helping the local women take care of their troubles, and bearing many secrets. Over the next decade estimated 300 people died under mysterious circumstances, and all signs pointed back to Aunt Suzy’s simple solutions.

Is there a deeper force behind the paths we humans have tread for millenia? Where do they lead, and why? Some believe that Ley Lines were created by ancient societies who deliberately erected important sites and structures along them, connecting our world through a web of earth energies. What mystical significance could these paths hold? Or could the Ley Lines theory all be a bunch of New Age hooey?

Some mysteries deep in the vast wilds of this country are the stuff of legend, but could they actually be signs of foreign worlds, or other dimensions? When Terry and Gwen Sherman moved onto a 480 acre cattle ranch in northern Utah they were plagued by an alarming number of highly strange occurrences: a flying winnebago, the appearances of mysterious crop circles and dozens of mutilated animals, and an unsettling cacophony of strange disembodied voices. Was it all in their heads? Or were the Shermans caught in the middle of something far more sinister than than they could ever imagine?

Some mysteries seem impossible, but few actually are. But with no logical explanation to be found, could you solve the unsolvable? Is there even such a thing? Today we look at two impossible cases. First, a man is found shot to death with three bullet wounds in his body, alone, with no gun, inside a locked and bolted room. What happened? Any guesses? How about this one: a woman boards a completely empty train car very much alive. Less than a minute later the still-empty train car pulls into the next station. Somehow she has been stabbed in the back, still alone in the car and now very much dead. Who done it? Your guess is as good as ours.

Since the early 1800’s, tenants have reported strange bumps in the night at the residence of Borley Rectory. Objects mysteriously move and doors lock on their own, scrawled writing appears on walls of empty rooms, a centuries-old nun walks the misty gardens, and long-dead residents seem to cozy up in their former bedrooms. The hauntings spanned generations until our old pal Harry Price came to town and put the Rectory through his psychical research tests… would Borley pass?
