At around 1:20 AM on June 16, 1959, a living room full of drunken party guests heard a gunshot ring out from the upstairs bedroom of actor George Reeves, known to millions of American children as Superman. LAPD rushed through the investigation and autopsy, and quickly ruled that it was a suicide, but many details don't add up. Was Superman murdered?

We’ve always wanted to do a comedy podcast. Over the summer, we tossed the idea around and decided to record a pilot episode to see if we were up to the challenge. This “pilot” is the result—consider it a rough draft. Let us know what you think: if we made more episodes, would you listen?

In 1904, four-year-old Robert Otto received a large doll that immediately became his constant companion. However, his family soon noticed that strange and disturbing things were happening regularly around the house—and according to their son, the doll was to blame.

Bell Island is a small rocky piece of land off the coast of Newfoundland, with a population of about 3,000. Yet it’s known to conspiracy theorists around the globe because of a mysterious event that happened in 1978: a massive explosion in the sky that destroyed electrical devices and wires across the island…and it only get weirder from there. Exploding TVs, men in black, secret government weapons tests, weather-altering technology, mind control…even aliens? OK, probably not aliens. Resources: History – Mystery Booms

In late 1991 and early 1992, newspaper reporter Linda Godfrey wrote about a rash of reported werewolf sightings along a small stretch of road in Elkhorn, Wisconsin. The story exploded nationwide, as tales of The Beast of Bray Road--a massive wolf that walked upright on its hind legs--captivated audiences across America. Linda soon discovered that sightings like these have occurred across the continent, and the globe, for a very long time. Encounters with Dogman--as the creature is often called--are terrifying, and although usually brief, they leave witnesses with a lifetime of questions. Join us as we discuss the Dogman phenomenon, and are joined by Linda Godfrey, who has written several books on the topic and is the foremost authority on Dogman, for an eye-opening interview.
