    IN THIS EPISODE: In February 1927, a renowned physicist who helped invent radio technology locked six volunteers in a room and asked 25,000 radio listeners across Britain to telepathically guess what the volunteers were thinking. It was one of the most ambitious attempts to prove the existence of telepathy ever conducted.

  • IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE, YOU HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR: The Haunting of Deanna (A True Paranormal Story)
    It began as proof for the skeptic — and ended as evidence for the damned.

    Transcript, Pics, and Videos: https://weirddarkness.com/IfYouDontBelieve

    A skeptic named Vince installs home surveillance cameras and immediately catches terrifying oddities around his wife Deanna: something yanking her leg in bed, doors moving, sheets whipping, and shadows crossing doorways. As Deanna grows fearful—and strangely religious after finding a puzzle box with a tilted “portait” cross—Vince keeps trying to rationalize it (and prank it), while a socially awkward fan, Christina, starts hovering around their house with a Bible that conveniently bookmarks the Book of Joshua. The phenomena escalate: a ceiling fan crashes, Deanna sleepwalks, opens secured doors, digs holes in the yard at night, and eventually collapses after a guttural outburst; she’s hospitalized and unresponsive. A medium, Heather, declares the house isn’t haunted—the wife is—and hints, “you just have to dig.” Vince and a friend dig where the gardener recently fell and unearth an urn with ash and bone; moments later, the hospital calls: Deanna wakes up. Research plus a catering business card suggests a grim backstory: a prior tenant family—Joshua Juarez—a murder-suicide, and a possibly murdered daughter buried on the property. The cross is sealed away, the urn goes to police, and Deanna recovers. Vince compiles the footage into a documentary, leaving the central question deliciously unsettled: malevolent spirit, human horror, or both?

    IN THIS EPISODE: I’m sharing a story from Weirdo Family member Vincent Rocca – a story that was a bit too polished and too detailed for me to believe was true until I contacted Vince to make doubly-sure it was a fact-based story. He assured me, every bit of it is completely true! The story also comes with visuals. When he originally posted the story on Reddit, Mr. Rocca included photos and video links of what he was talking about, which he gave me permission to include in the transcript.

  • PHINEAS GAGE: A Rod Blasted Through His Head, He Lost Half His Brain, Then He Got Up and Walked Away
    In 1848, a 13-pound iron rod exploded through Phineas Gage's skull, destroyed half his brain, and flew out the other side—but instead of dying, he sat up, spoke clearly, and walked nearly a mile to see a doctor... and that's just the beginning of the story!

    IN THIS EPISODE: I’ve covered numerous stories here in the podcast on people gone missing, never to be seen again. But it’s much more rare to have a story about a corpse going missing, never to be seen again. (How Daniel Murdock Saved on Funeral Expenses) *** One thing that has always been a constant in human history is adultery; as is the jilted spouse always being angry about it. One thing that has not been a constant is how society judges those involved in the infidelity. In 1885, there were different opinions about both adulterers as well as the one who murders a homewrecker. (Shot By a Jealous Husband) *** Part of the tablet’s translation, according to Isaac Newton, states: “By this means you shall have the glory of the whole world and thereby all obscurity shall fly from you. Its force is above all force, for it vanquishes every subtle thing and penetrates every solid thing.” Cryptic yes, but it appears to indicate immense power for the one who understands and wields it. It comes from the Emerald Tablet – and it’s no surprise there are many now who want to know where it is. (The Mystery of the Emerald Tablet) *** The Shimokubo Dam in Japan is unique in that it is supposedly haunted. I’ve heard of haunted lakes, and haunted roads that go around lakes or past lakes, but I’ve never heard of a lake that was created by a haunted dam. Shimokubo Dam is supposedly so haunted, that Japan says the stream of ghost hunters and paranormal enthusiasts is out of control. (Japan’s Haunted Dam) *** A mysterious creature is reported to be living near a bridge in Zimbabwe which has killed numerous men. What is the Beast of Gwanda Town? (Beast of Gwanda Town) *** A year before the infamous Lizzie Bordon was born, came the birth of Lizzie Halliday – who, though becoming less well known, went on to commit atrocities that would’ve made Lizzie Bordon’s stomach turn. (The Worst Woman on Earth) *** 
His story is legendary. One day while working on the railroad, Phineas Gage tapped on an iron rod that set off an explosion which sent the iron spike through his skull, destroying parts of his brain… yet he lived. But it changed his life… his personality… and it changed the medical and psychological world forever. (Phineas Gage)

    IN THIS EPISODE: You probably saw the title of this episode and immediately thought, “Whaaa?” Well, I’m going to tell you one of the most ridiculous stories I’ve ever heard that is 100% true. The Axis powers of World War II tried to kill the Loch Ness Monster. (The Assassination of the Loch Ness Monster) *** As far back as time is recorded, mankind has had a fascination with Sirius, the Dogstar. But what is so special about it aside from the fact that it’s one of the brightest stars in our sky? Might there be an extraterrestrial connection as well? (Why So Serious About Sirius?) *** UFO reports come in constantly to police stations and online sites dedicated to the subject of Ufology – practically on a daily basis. And many sightings are by people you would consider above reproach such as law enforcement, scientists, military, numerous sightings by pilots… but when you head out into space and see a UFO, as is what happens with astronauts’ reports, that’s something you take a much closer look at. (Code Word: Santa Claus) *** Jimmy Logue left his wife after only two years of marriage. Without first getting divorced, he married another woman – whom he badly mistreated, so she left him. But he had already started an affair with her sister, so he married her next – now on his third wife. He abused her as well. He was also a career criminal – spending half his life living off the spoils of his thievery, the other half behind bars when caught. So it probably comes as no surprise that he was suspect number one when his third wife was found murdered. (A Romance In Crime)
