While it’s difficult to explain what attracts a spirit to a place, or keeps it from leaving, it doesn’t change the fact that it seems to happen. In fact, some historic homes seem to be magnets for paranormal activity. This raises a question: If soil is bloodied with tragedy, are any structures built atop this land destined to be haunted? We’re about to find out. In today’s podcast turned ghost hunt we’re exploring Victoria’s Black Swan Inn.
Sensitive topics: Mentions of suicide, death, death via cancer/illness, death via war

In the 1700s, architects used six tons of amber, gold, and gemstones to create a room so opulent it was widely considered the Eighth Wonder of the World. It lasted for centuries, until it was stripped down by Nazi soldiers during World War II and relocated. Was the room later destroyed in the bombs of war or was it tucked away in secret to remain hidden? Today, we’re discussing the mysterious disappearance of the Amber Room.

In 1977, an astronomer noted a reading on a radio telescope unlike any he had ever seen before. He was so amazed by the 72 second signal that he circled the anomaly in red ink, writing “Wow!”. For decades, astronomers and researchers have tried to replicate or explain the strange reading. Was this a celestial oddity or a sign from extraterrestrial life? Today, we’re analyzing the Wow! Signal.

On a national holiday in 1935, crowds gathered at a Sydney aquarium to marvel at a newly captured tiger shark. Awe quickly turned to horror when the predator regurgitated a human arm; perfectly preserved and bearing a distinct tattoo. Forensics would reveal the limb wasn't bitten off, but rather removed with a sharp tool. Further clues led police into a tangled web of fraud, murder, and conspiracy. Today, we explore the puzzling Shark Arm Case.

Sensitive topics: Animal mutilation, mentions of suicide, attempted suicide, murder, dismemberment.
