Introducing The Fall Line: The Case of Chairo Garibay Feb 27, 2023

Show notes

Introducing our podcast, The Fall Line, which focuses on cold cases that have not received enough attention—a clip from our recent three-part series on the case of Chairo Garibay. On December 11th, 2005, 20-year-old Chairo disappeared; she’d planned on attending church with her family in Olivehurst, California, but she never showed. She was reported missing to the Yuba County Sheriff, and both her family and law enforcement began a search that extended through Christmas. It would be five weeks before Chairo was found. Though there would eventually be a 50,000-dollar reward authorized in Chairo’s case, no one has been arrested for her murder.

The Firestarters Feb 21, 2023

Show notes

In the 1940s, two Midwest families faced the same bizarre circumstance: unexplained fires that seemed to spring up from nowhere, burning all over their homes—with no clear source. Was it, as many in the small town of Odon, Indiana suspected, the work of a “fire poltergeist,” or some other supernatural force? Or could it be one of the many theories Air Force investigators floated at the second location, in Macomb Illinois?

The Boy Feb 07, 2023

Show notes

In 1973, CB radio enthusiasts all over the U.S. — and apparently, the world — heard the panicked transmissions of a little boy calling himself "Larry," who claimed to be in danger. So why couldn’t an army of New Mexico volunteers and law enforcement find "Little Lost Larry?"

The Grassman Jan 24, 2023

Show notes

In the late 1970s, a rural Ohio family came face-to-face--or maybe it’s fur-to-fur--with the Midwest’s most infamous version of Bigfoot, the Grassman. Whether you call it Orange Eyes or The Minerva Monster, the creature who allegedly lurked in Paris Township in 1978 created much unwanted attention for the unhappy objects of its attention.

The Artifacts Jan 10, 2023

Show notes

Throughout the history of conventional archeology, artifacts have been found that seem to defy what we know about what we know. Did the Maine Penny, the Shroud of Turin, and the Antikythera Mechanism simply evade our previous understandings of what ancient societies were doing, and where, and when — or is there a case to be made for otherworldly intervention?

Special: The Elves Dec 24, 2022

Show notes

As a little holiday treat, we wanted to share one of our favorite episodes with you again — ad free — to enjoy this weekend.

Arizona might not seem like the typical setting for holiday magic, but for decades, some mysterious local “elves” have turned a spherical, scrubby-looking desert juniper out on I-17 into what has to have been one of America’s more unlikely Christmas spectacles; but who are they, and why are they so determined to light up the lonely landscape?

The Moth Dec 13, 2022

Show notes

West Virginia isn’t the only region to boast its very own Mothman; since the mid-20 century, Chicago and the Lake Michigan area has had reports of flying humanoids, and those sightings have only picked up since 2011. Why have sightings of the Chicago or Lake Michigan Mothman increased, and what’s behind the mysterious wings in the sky?

The Incident Nov 15, 2022

Show notes

In a frightening rural Texas encounter that would come to be known as the Cash-Landrum incident, two middle-aged women and a young boy claimed they were confronted by a strange, shining diamond in the sky: a UFO that left them with long-lasting and serious physical effects.
