  • HEX - File 0104 - Sex, Magic and Yacht Parties - pt.3

    In this three-part episode our hosts, Cayla, Nathan, Halli and Courtney take a look at four cases of intrigue: 

    • Clementine Barnabet: In November 1911, 19 year old Clementine Barnabet is arrested for the murder of a family of 6, her insistence on her innocence falling on deaf ears. Five months later in a startling turn of events, Clementine suddenly claims responsibility for 17 murders, including ones that occurred while she was imprisoned. And the reason? Blood sacrifices in hopes of gaining immortality. Well, that's what the news would have you think
    • Yacht Killing Orcas: Since 2020 the Strait of Gibraltar has been experiencing some bizarre events: Orcas attacking boats
    • Kanamara Matsuri: Japan is known for its respectful and buttoned up culture, so it may come as a surprise that in one city, there is a yearly festival held, dedicated to the penis.
    • Cunning Folk: Before there were witches there were cunning folk, healers and wise people who in some cases practiced magic and in others didn't, in some cases were used to defend against black magic and in others considered just as bad as witches

    Pt.3

    • Cunning Folk

    In this two-part episode our hosts, Cayla, Nathan, Halli and Courtney take a look at two cases of intrigue:

    • Isla de las Munecas: South of Mexico City is a small manmade island that now belongs to the hundreds of dolls that call it home
    • The Michael Jackson Allegations: In August 1993, Michael Jackson would first be accused of child abuse and since then there have been three other allegations. Despite the fact that Jackson was never convicted of these crimes the public narrative had deemed him guilty and has continued to do so the last thirty years.

  • HEX - File 0097 - Bette-Jean's Crystal Cattle - Pt.3

    In this three-part episode our hosts, Cayla, Nathan and Halli take a look at three cases of intrigue:

    • Bette-Jean Masters: On Sunday July 3rd 1960, Edna Bette-Jean Masters, a 21 month old disappeared without a trace from the small logging community of Red Lake, British Columbia, Canada. It has been over 60 years, and yet we're still no closer to figuring out what happened 
    • Feral Cattle: While listening to the book Islands of Abandonment by Cal Flyn, Nathan was reminded of the crazy world of wild Cattle. Cal takes a trip to the island of Swona in northern Scotland and encounters the local herd which she gives us insights about in her book, but did you know that there are multiple herds of wild cattle all over the world? Nathan takes us to a few of these places.
    • Failed Products: NewProductWorks is a collection of thousands of consumer products from around the world (over 140,000 by an account from 2017). But it's not all brand empowerment and new design ideas. The warehouse also serves as a cautionary tale, that even brands can fail, and fail big time. Anyone remember Crystal Pepsi? How about toaster eggs?
