    The Dover Demon | 3 Witnesses, 2 Nights, No Explanation Mar 11, 2026
    Show notes

    In April 1977, four witnesses in a quiet Massachusetts suburb encountered something over 26 hours that has never been identified. Every explanation anyone has offered since has a problem with it. So what exactly did they see on those dark Dover roads that night?
    IN THIS EPISODE: In April 1962, identical twin sisters died in separate wards of a North Carolina psychiatric hospital on the same night, at the same hour, with no medical cause that autopsies, state investigators, or the FBI could identify. The death certificates still read "ill-defined and unknown" — and sixty years of research hasn't changed that. (The Eller Twins | Did They Will Themselves To Die?) *** In October 1988, a poodle fell from a thirteenth-floor balcony in Buenos Aires, and what happened in the minutes that followed turned an ordinary street corner into one of the strangest documented sequences in Argentine history. Every October, the story circulates again — and nobody who hears it ever quite forgets it. (Death By Poodle | A Freak Chain Reaction) *** In April 1977, four witnesses in a quiet Massachusetts suburb encountered something over 26 hours that has never been identified. Every explanation anyone has offered since has a problem with it. So what exactly did they see on those dark Dover roads that night? (The Dover Demon | 3 Witnesses, 2 Nights, No Explanation)

    Was the Kansas City Massacre a Rescue Gone Wrong Or a Mob Hit? | The Mysterious Death of Frank Nash Mar 10, 2026
    Show notes

    After the infamous Kansas City Massacre, reports of Frank Nash's ghost haunting Union Station keep the memory of his violent end alive.
    *No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast*
    IN THIS EPISODE: One of paranormal history’s most bizarre, worldwide, phenomena, the Men In Black, traces its origin directly back to one man, and his name was Albert. (The Albert K. Bender Story) *** Daryl Collins’ encounters demonstrate the sheer level of weirdness that surrounds the UFO phenomenon. (Alien Abductions and High Strangeness) *** A young girl sees an odd cube shape floating in her back yard among the trees. Was it extraterrestrial, paranormal, or just the wild imagination of a child? (Floating Multi-Color Box) *** What began as a joke to tease his sister, became all too real for the boy. (Ouija) *** Legend has it that a man murdered his wife and young daughter, before committing suicide. Has this caused the Banff Springs Hotel to become haunted? (Room 873) *** Frank Nash was not only an infamous outlaw, but he could escape just about any prison – even the prison of his own coffin after being dead and buried. (The Kansas City Massacre) *** Due to a murderous plot, 11-year old Terry Jo Duperrault spent 84 grueling hours alone at sea until she was rescued. (Orphaned At Sea) *** Moving into your own place alone for the first time is often an exciting moment in a young adult’s life – but it can also be a bit nerve-racking. But then, it probably doesn’t help if you move into a place that is haunted. (My Closet Door) *** The true story of Rasputin is full of both truths and lies. Was he a controversial mystic with healing powers, or an evil or misunderstood man? Maybe he was a little of both. (Rasputin) *** The Lake Club in Springfield, Illinois had its heyday in 1940s and 50s – and not even a lingering ghost could stop the parties. (The Lake Club Ghost)
