  • Somerton Man

    In 1948 the body of an unknown man was found on Somerton Beach in Australia. A piece of paper with a cryptic message was found sewn into a secret pocket in his pants. His identity and cause of death have remained a mystery for almost 70 years. Was it suicide or murder? Was he poisoned? Or was he actually a spy?


    ALSO: When Ali’s Aunt was a flight attendant she realized a man on her flight was dead and not sleeping.

  • MAILBAG: Tinker Bell is a Needy B*tch

    VOICEMAILS: In New York if you make it publicly known your house is haunted you have to disclose that at the time of sale. A guy in San Francisco named Frank Chu is famous for holding up encrypted signs. A creepy hometown restaurant called Little Bohemia that mysteriously turned into a pancake house. A listener thinks Maria is the star of the show. A Tinker Bell nickname glitch.


    EMAILS: Another Craigslist synchronicity and a lottery ticket number coincidence.


    ALSO: The symphonic beauty of Ali’s laugh.

  • White House & DC Ghosts

    While it might seem pretty obvious that the White House is emotionally and politically haunted, especially right now, did you know that it is also allegedly haunted by ghosts? Former presidents, first ladies, pets, children, and staff workers are a few of the ghosts roaming around the White House. Michelle and Barack Obama reported hearing strange noises in the hallway and feeling gnawing at their feet. Jenna Bush claimed she heard piano music coming out of her fire place. Mary Todd Lincoln held seances in the red room in attempts to channel the dead. Which president is the grumpiest ghost? Which First Lady is aggressively protective of the rose garden, and who is stuck doing laundry?

    We interview DC Ghost Tour Guide Erin Dunn of DC by Foot to talk about the Old Stone House (where ghosts specifically haunt women) and the Exorcist Stairs in Georgetown.

    Historian Daniel Tana talks about the truth behind the many spooky legends of one of the oldest buildings in DC- The Octagon House. Is it haunted by Colonel Tayloe’s daughters who fell down the staircase and died? Do the service bells ring inexpliclably? Who is the man in black often spotted at night?

    ALSO: Dolley Madison, James Madison’s wife, is cool as hell and has a Hostess bakery brand named after her.

  • Bohemian Grove

    About two hours north of San Francisco, in the heart of the redwood forests is a 2,700-acre plot of land called the Bohemian Grove. It’s home to an exclusive gentlemen's club called the Bohemian Club. Each July, the club hosts a 17-day event for some of the richest and most influential men in the world. Their purpose is to escape the “frontier culture.” Some allege that sexual activity, human sacrifice, and prostitution rings comprise this jaunt in the woods. The plans for the atom bomb were created here. The club is so hush-hush that little can be definitely said about it. Is it just a getaway for powerful men, or is something more sinister happening?

  • Mini Crawlers: Another Craig Coincidence

    Craig is back with yet another insane synchronicity coincidence he experienced involving a mattress, a printer, and a UPS store. We found some info on Craig’s theory that the world ended in 2012 and we’re all living in a simulation. How is the Mandela Effect related to that, and is it just for people who are stupid and can’t spell? And a listener experienced three separate Web Crawlers coincidences in the same day. 

    ALSO: Maria doesn’t have time for child prodigies.

  • MAILBAG: Mysterious Packages

    A listener received three mysterious packages. A technology glitch and number coincidence. A retired police officer tried to contact the owner of a package because he suspected drugs were in it. A Montana man went missing after buying diapers at Walmart and a few of his bones were found. A serial killer near the Bridgewater triangle tried to pick up a listener. Synchronicity with the name Asher.

  • Nellie Bly: Investigative Journalist

    Journalist and activist Nellie Bly wrote one of the first pieces of investigative journalism about injustices in mental institutions by pretending to be insane and infiltrating the system from within. She also broke records by traveling around the world in 72 days. Who is this YAS Queen Girl Boss, and what were mental asylums in the 1800s and 1900s really like? 

    ALSO: In the 19th century, women could be put in a lunatic asylum for jealousy, grief, or melancholia.

  • Circleville Letters

    In 1976, life in the small town of Circleville, Ohio was thrown into chaos when bus driver Mary Gillespie started receiving anonymous threatening letters. They expressed anger that she was having an affair with the local school superintendent, and wanted her to come clean. More people in the town started receiving letters about their own darkest secrets. When Mary’s husband Ron was found dead, the town of 14,000 people didn’t know who to blame.
