A wildlife documentary crew heads into the Colombian jungle to film Pablo Escobar’s infamous cocaine hippos—only to find something far more deadly. As tensions rise between a passionate conservationist and a ruthless poacher, the real threat emerges from the water: a bloodthirsty pod of hippos that’s not just invasive… it’s unstoppable.

In Stay Hungry by David O’Hanlon, bullets fly, bodies drop, and the jungle runs red in this brutal, action-packed creature horror story.

Carl Tanzler stole Maria Elena Milagro de Hoyos’s body from a Key West mausoleum and kept her remains in his home for seven years.

Terrifying & True examines the disturbing case behind the romanticized legend. Tanzler, a German-born radiology technician at the U. S. Marine Hospital, became obsessed with the young Cuban-American tuberculosis patient after meeting her in 1930. She died the following year despite his attempts to treat her, but his fixation continued through repeated visits to her crypt.

In 1933, Tanzler removed Elena’s body and tried to preserve it with wire, wax, silk, and other materials. The secret was discovered in 1940. He was arrested, but the applicable statute of limitations prevented prosecution. Public coverage often recast the violation as an eccentric love story, obscuring Elena’s identity and the desecration inflicted on her remains.

This episode follows the case from hospital ward to mausoleum, courtroom, and Tanzler’s later life-size effigy—asking why popular culture remembered the man’s obsession more readily than the woman whose body he stole.

Hello again, my dear. I was hoping you’d come back. We’ve saved you a seat—right by the fire… or is it a furnace?

Tonight, I’ve brought you four tales. Strange ones. Sad ones. A little dangerous, even. But you like that, don’t you?

🔹 The Last Plan
Two lovers, one scheme, and a final act that might just make your heart stop—literally. Let’s just say… sometimes the plan outlives the planners.
🔹 I Died Last Night
Gregory Raymond says he died. Last night. But he’s talking to us now… right? So what’s really going on beneath that polite smile?
🔹 Death Laughs Last
A vintage tale from The Whistler. Murder. Revenge. And a punchline even the killer didn’t see coming. But don’t worry. You’ll get the joke… eventually.
🔹 The Last Trip
One man. One train. One final ride into the unknown. No map. No return. Just your thoughts—and whatever’s whispering in the next car over.

So go on, press play. I promise these stories won’t follow you home.(Well… most of them don’t.)

Unknown Broadcast shapes these stories into a late-night old-time-radio program while preserving each tale’s individual title, premise, and final revelation.

The tsantsa was a sacred object created to contain an enemy’s spirit—not the grotesque souvenir that foreign collectors turned it into.

Terrifying & True explores the history of shrunken heads among Jivaroan peoples, including the Shuar and Achuar communities of the Ecuadorian and Peruvian Amazon. The ritual had a specific spiritual and social purpose: neutralizing the avenging power of a slain enemy and managing forces believed to threaten the living. Reducing it to a “tribal trophy” erases that context.

European and American demand transformed the practice. Traders offered weapons and manufactured goods for tsantsas, encouraging a violent market in human remains. Counterfeit heads made from animals or unclaimed bodies also entered private collections and museums, while some specimens may be connected to people killed specifically for sale.

The episode follows the anatomy, ritual meaning, colonial exploitation, authentication challenges, and modern repatriation debate surrounding tsantsas. It separates an Indigenous tradition from the black market that distorted it—and asks what ethical responsibility museums and collectors carry today.

This Terrifying & True installment follows Shrunken Heads through the documented timeline while distinguishing confirmed events from disputed theory, rumor, and the mythology that grew around the case.

Unknown Broadcast presents old-time radio tales of corpses, graves, and the dead returning with unfinished business that the living cannot ignore.

Four eerie stories rise from beneath the soil to haunt the living, revealing secrets that refuse to stay buried. These tales explore not just death—but what waits beyond.

🔹 The Graveyard
An old cemetery holds more than bones—it holds memories, warnings… and watchers.

🔹 A Watery Grave
A man with blood on his hands finds out too late that the dead don’t drown quietly.

🔹 Beyond the Grave
Some oaths are stronger than death. When one man returns, it’s not for peace—it’s for justice.

🔹 No Grave Can Hold Me
In a courtroom of the living, a voice from the other side demands to be heard.

These are stories of retribution, unrest, and resurrection—the kind of darkness that clings to your soul long after the final word.

Unknown Broadcast shapes these stories into a late-night old-time-radio program while preserving each tale’s individual title, premise, and final revelation.
