On October 10th of 1989, a helicopter with three executives of Donald Trump's failing casino ventures dropped out of the New Jersey airspace and onto the Garden State Parkway, killing all three as well as the two pilots aboard. The crash was blamed on a very rare manufacturers error and the deaths conveniently coincided with closures of Trump's Atlantic City casino efforts, leading many to believe foul play may have been involved.

On July 20th 1969, NASA astronauts made history by being the first to land and walk on the surface of the moon. Like the presidential debate between JFK and Nixon years before, or the Vietnam War raging in the south seas, the moon landing was one of man's greatest achievements to be dedicated t film. That is however, except for two minutes of tape from just after Armstrong and Aldrin took their famous moonwalk, footage that has never surfaced. What's on those tapes and where are they now? NASA has a very NASA answer, and we think it's probably aliens. Listen today and find out for yourselves!

Over the course of a year from March of 1976 to February of 1977, four young children would go missing from the Detroit metro area, only to all resurface after having passed. With all found in the same manner, with a similar motive, police began to look for a serial killer than was targeting children. Authorities found a lot more than they bargained for, and a lot less justice, being that they never pinned a killer. Come Ford Explore with us today y'all

On October 26th, 1944, Gertrude "Tommy" Tompkins would take off in her P-51 Mustang from an airfield in Los Angeles, never to be seen again. No trace of her or her plane have been found, despite centuries of searching. Tommy was a phenom behind the stick, could she have crashed? Or were her talents drafted by the deepstate to aid in experimental aircraft design? Was she present during the infamous Battle of Los Angeles, and did it have an effect on her departure two years later? Maybe she resolved her broken heart over a lost love, and flew off into the sunset. We talk about it all today, so join us y'all!

Hollywood darling and child movie star Lora Lee Michel led a chaotic, and oftentimes misunderstood, life. A life that started out so bright would lead down a familiar but dark corridor of poor decisions and jailtime, ultimately leading to her disappearance from a women's jail in 1963, at the young age of 22. Since then, she hasn't been provably seen or identified, nor has any death record for her surfaced. So today we ask, what happened to Lora Lee Michel?

Over a three-day period from June 22 to 24, 2007, Chris Benoit, a 40-year-old Canadian professional wrestler employed by World Wrestling Entertainment and living in Fayetteville, Georgia, is alleged to have murdered his wife Nancy and their 7-year-old son, Daniel, before hanging himself. However, despite the WWE's desire to forever sweep this PR nightmare under the rug, too many details from that weekend don't add up, not to mention everyone that ever met Chris or knew him closely, including his surviving children, believe he wasn't behind the heinous act. IN the dark world of the wrestling business, there are a thousand cast shadows, some darker than the rest, and from those shadows we believe came the monster that killed the Benoit three that weekend. This is also our first fan request, so if you have any of your own, feel free to leave them in the comments!

Teal Swan, born Mary Teal Bosworth, is an alleged alien, a self appointed intergalactic tourist, a New Age life coach and a personal guru; who preys on individuals at their lowest moments for fame and profit. Swan picks and chooses many things in life, from the various religious scripts she pulls her teachings from, to the truth about her abused past.

In 2002, a group of soldiers went missing while on patrol in a remote mountain region of Kandahar, in the south of Afghanistan. When they failed to make radio contact for some time, the military sent in a special ops unit to investigate, though the branch of the armed forces they belonged to was never confirmed. What the men claimed to have found wasn't any soldier at all, but instead, a towering red haired giant. Was it an ape, likely a bigfoot like Sasquatch? Find out today.

In a now viral video posted by Miranda Derrick's family on February 22nd of this year, it is alleged that Miranda is being exploited and held against her will by a christian cult in Los Angeles. While this is usually the tone parents take when their baby girl makes it big in the city, there are more than a few very questionable behaviors and beliefs within the cult that would leave any parents concerned. The agency behind this cult, 7M films, has close ties to the Shekinah church, one that epitomizes the New Age to Fascist pipeline, as well as close ties to many powerful and decidedly ungodly people. Is Miranda being exploited, or is it her decision to be in an evil cult? Decide today along with us y'all.

Julius & Ethel Rosenberg were American citizens who were convicted of spying on behalf of the Soviet Union. The couple were convicted of providing top-secret information about radar, sonar, jet propulsion engines and valuable nuclear weapon designs (at that time the United States was the only country in the world with nuclear weapons). Convicted of espionage in 1951, they were executed by the federal government of the United States in 1953 at Sing Sing Correctional Facility in Ossining, New York, becoming the first American civilians to be executed for such charges and the first to receive that penalty during peacetime. With the world once again being fated by possible war time, we thought this was a good week to look back at the greatest spy case in american history.

Dorothea Helen Puente lead a long life of hustles, scams, thefts and eventually murder. Using her kindly demeanor to lure in helpless people with charity, only to leave them broke, and sometimes, buried. Poison was her speciality, using it to pray on the elderly and infirm. She owned the so-called Murderhouse in Sacramento, a building that still stands today, that Dorothea operated as halfway house for the homeless and mentally ill. Living off of her victims pensions and social security checks, Puente hid in plain sight, with many authorities, and even her jury, buying her old lady gimmick. Was she set up? Was she the inspiration for Merge Mansion? Find out today y'all!

Barney and Betty Hill were an American couple who claimed they were abducted by extraterrestrials in a rural portion of the state of New Hampshire from September 19 to 20, 1961. It was the first widely publicized report of an alien abduction in the United States. Not dissimilar from the story of our beloved Travis Walton, these to spent time about a glowing ship, but they alleged to have come back with memories and instructions only accessible via hypnosis only.

Since his arrival into the realm of celebrity, Andrew WK has been shrouded by mystery. Accusations that he was an industry plant, a tool of Scientology or even a government psy-op all center around the messianic man in white, but the biggest is that he may in fact be someone else entirely, or at least not himself. Some say WK was replaced in the early oughts for a more agreeable actor, later resurfacing under the alias Steev Mike. Steev Mike is a producer for WK, and is the Tony Clifton to WKs Andy Kaufman, an alias with more hatred for Andrew than he has proof of his own existence. Mike has played foil to WK as well as helped him produce his greatest albums, but who is he? Find out today as we take a deep dive into the industry plant iceberg.

Ted Kaczynski is an American hero, ecoterrorist, and former mathematics professor. He was a mathematics prodigy, but abandoned his academic career in 1969 to pursue a primitive life. Between 1978 and 1995, he killed three people and injured 23 others in a nationwide bombing campaign against people he believed to be advancing modern technology and the destruction of the environment. He issued a social critique rejecting leftism, opposing industrialization and advocating a nature-centered form of anarchism. In this weeks episode we discuss who he was, what he did, and if he really was in the wrong...

The Hinterkaifeck murders occurred on the evening of March 31, 1922, in which six inhabitants of a small Bavarian farmstead, located approximately 70 kilometres (43 mi) north of Munich, Germany, were murdered by an unknown assailant. The six victims were Andreas Gruber (63) and Cäzilia Gruber (72); their widowed daughter Viktoria Gabriel (35); Viktoria's children, Cäzilia (7) and Josef (2); and the maid, Maria Baumgartner (44). They were all found struck dead. The perpetrator (or perpetrators) lived with the six corpses of their victims for three days. The murders are considered one of the most gruesome and puzzling unsolved crimes in German history. Prior to the murders, the previous maid quit claiming the house was haunted, could that be what led to these grisly and puzzling killings? There are many theories and suspects, from farmhands looking to make a fortune to Victoria's husband, presumed dead and out for revenge. Today, we explore them all!

Just inland from Cape Cod, the Bridgewater Triangle hosts a buffet of paranormal activity. There are sasquatches, giant killer dogs, murderous cults, ghosts, aliens, the UFOs they arrive in, trickster goblins and maybe even a few curses all within this 200 square mile patch of New England. Today we are back to our spooky supernatural roots and we are exploring all the little monsters and tall tales from deep in the woods. Enjoy y'all!

On the night of September 28th, 1978, newly minted PopeJohn Paul I died of unexplained causes, suddenly. Claimed to be a heart attack, the Vatican would not have an autopsy conducted citing (incorrectly) tradition. Many, including ourselves, think something more sinister as at play. Many high ranking Vatican officials were embroiled in a scandal that would come to light after the Pope's untimely death, a scandal that would indicate those officials could have been behind John Paul's passing. A scandal by the way, that involved funneling money to the Contras in South America to fight communism alongside the CIA, and old friend of the show, Barry Seal.

A lot happened this year, so much that we here at ACNN kinda forgot some of the events. So what we decided to do was sit down, review the year, and see how the months ranked up... TIER STYLE.

This week we are joined by our dearest friend and fellow ghost lover Meagan to talk about the spookiest hotel on a hill in the entire Southwest, the Jerome Grand Hotel. Originally opened as a hospital for the mine that sits just down the road, over 9000 people died in the building in it's mere 23 years of service. After sitting vacant for decades, it was purchased by an owner who despite not believing in ghosts, has opened possibly the most haunted hotel in the state. This hotel is where the Colonel did his first paranormal investigation at just 17, and where he had experiences that would change his mind on ghosts forever. Get out the spirit box the Colonel showed you how to make last week and get comfy, it's ghostbustin' time.

Morgellon's Disease is a controversial condition involving skin lesions and the belief that the skin is infected by bugs and other fiber-like objects. Relatively uncommon, the cause isn't fully understood. Testing for infection by bacteria or parasites is usually negative, and the fibers either come back not matching any known samples, or as simple cotton string. Symptoms generally include skin rashes, a sense of intense itching and crawling under the skin, brain fog & fatigue. There is no single established cure for Morgellons disease, but regular antibiotic use and follow-up with a physician along with treatment of any associated conditions such as anxiety or depression has been proven to help; even curing symptoms entirely in some cases. The medical world remains undecided on the issue, and seemingly little actual research into subject has been permitted or conducted, depending on who you ask I suppose. Today we examine the evidence, the claims, and explore even the least likely cause for this enigmatic ailment. Find out today y'all!

August 27, 1587 would be the final day the lost colonists of Roanoke would be seen by the fellow landgrabbers. In fact, it would be three years until their Governor, John White, would return to find the colony abandoned with no trace of the 115 people left behind to start a new life in what was seen as easily conquerable land. Terrible fortune beset the explorers of this so-called New World, likely because it was infact a very lived-in and established country with people not fond of their new party crashers. The legend has lived through the centuries of what happened to the aspiring imperialists, cloaked in mystery and often the paranormal. Roanoke however, wasn't even the first failed colony on the islands of the outer banks. In fact, John White, the Governor of Roanoke, was a surviving member of the previous fort on the isle, the Lane Colony. So, what was the fate of the Roanoke Colonists? Did they get wha they had coming to them? Was it a plague? Famine, maybe even something zombie-like? Or was it a sea monster that would do Lovecraft proud? Find out today y'all!

Last week, we talked about the fatal accidental shooting that took place on the set of the film Rust in October. We made that episode after the armorer for the production, Hannah Reed, was claiming that she wasn't responsible as everyone thought. Citing a messy and dangerous working condition, Reed insisted that she didn't even have the gun last before it was used to shoot. At the time, we humored that theory only to have people very close to the case reach out with information currently under wraps in form of texts and emails with Hannah herself and fellow coworkers about the conditions on set, and the yet to be discussed change Baldwin recklessly called for that undoubtedly put cinematographer Halyna Hutchins in the way of the bullet that killed her. We also discuss the chain of custody, and who provided the ammo in the first place (spoiler: it wasn't Hannah). Join us today as we examine new evidence and update our theory as to what happened!

October 27th, 2021, during a shot rehearsal for the production of the film "Rust", Alec Baldwin discharged a loaded firearm into the chest of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, fatally wounding her. Normally, a case like this wouldn't land on our radar, since it seems like obvious negligence by the Assistant Director David Halls and set armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed. That is, until November 5th, when Reed's legal team took the official stance that she was in fact being framed, and was the victim of conspiracy. Well, our tinfoil ears perked up at the notion of it being an alleged unsolved mystery, so we decided to run down the events of the day, as well as dive into Hannah's history of negligent behavior, both on and off set, that has led to an untimely death before. So, join us today as we try to get to the bottom of the conspiracy against Hannah Reed & David Halls.

Right after brunch on May 29th of this year (2021), evangelical cult leader Gwen Shamblin Lara and her recent husband Tarzan actor Joe Lara, along with six others, plunged their Cessna C501 into Percy Priest Lake near Nashville, Tennessee. Shamblin created a Christian diet plan called the Weigh Down, that became its own religious cult called the Remnant Fellowship, that emphasized body shaming as a tool to keep people, specifically women, obedient and exhausted. When her plane dove into the lake just after take off, was it an accident? Was is it foul play? Faked death maybe? Or maybe, like Johnny Cash says, "Sooner or later, the Man'll cut ya down." Tune in today to hear the weeks future conspiracies and let us know what you think happened God's greediest children?

From 1977 to 1981, a rash of sudden deaths affecting Hmong immigrants in the bay area had local doctors and the CDC stumped. Over those 5 years, 118 otherwise perfectly healthy men, with no underlying connection or ailment would die suddenly in their sleep. Was it the horrors of the war back home coming to them in their slumber? Was it the Baba Yaga causing them sleep paralysis and stealing their souls? Or was it mushroom spores? Well, it would go on to happen to several groups of men in Asia, all mysteriously dying the same unexplained death. Caleb and the Colonel discuss the possible cause, supernatural or plain old regular strange, on this special Halloween episode!

Elmer McCurdy wasn't all that good at much really. A lousy mucker, a lazy soldier, and not much of an Outlaw; just about the only thing he was any good at was guiding his own misfortune. After an especially bad train job, he found himself in a haybarn hugging his hooch, at the end of a lawman's gun. But that's not where his bad luck would end, after nobody came to claim his corpse, his body was given the mannequin treatment for decades, culminating the crew of the Six Million Dollar Man discovering his body being used as a prop in a Long Beach Funhouse. Join us today as we spill the beans on poor Elmer's awful, terrible, no good day.

Near the end of 1803, many people claimed to have seen or even been attacked by a ghost in the Hammersmith area of London, a ghost believed by locals to be the spirit of a suicide victim. On January 3rd 1804, 29 year old excise officer named Francis Smith, a member of one of the armed patrols set up in the wake of the reports shot and killed what he thought to be the aggravating apparition, but did he really shoot and kill a ghost, or was it just a poor bricklayer leaving his sister's abode? And if Smith didn't gun down the ghost, who, or what, was the Hammersmith Ghost?

On November 13, 1974, Ronald DeFeo Jr. shot and killed six members of his family at 112 Ocean Avenue, a large Dutch Colonial house situated in a suburban neighborhood in Amityville, on the south shore of Long Island, New York. He was convicted of second-degree murder in November 1975 and sentenced to six sentences of 25 years to life in prison. In December 1975, George and Kathy Lutz and their three children moved into the house. After 28 days, the Lutzes fled the house, claiming to have been terrorized by paranormal phenomena while living there. Were Ronald DeFeo Jr.'s actions of his own mind, or is there a force within the walls of this horrible house askin' for sacrifice? If these walls could talk, they'd offer you free candy from a windowless white van, man.

In January of 2021,a user by the name of IlluminatiPirate posted two threads to the Agora Road forum. One claimed that he witnessed the death of the internet as we know it, and the birth of an algorithmic botnet prison. OP alleged that he saw many discrepancies between the web on his phone and on his PC even in real time, insinuating the existence of multiple networks. Today Caleb & the Colonel discuss wether we are living in a simulation of our own making, or is it a little more grounded than that.

In 1968, Fred Hansen began displaying what he called the "Minnesota Iceman" on the local fair circuit, dazzling paying customers with the many tales of how he came upon it. However, unlike most sideshow scammers, when the show was published in a national magazine profile, Fred quickly replaced the specimen with a vinyl dummy, fearing possible legal repercussions for allegedly shooting and killing the beast. Where is it now? How did Fred really get it? Was it a dummy all along? Tune in today for the second half of our Vietnam Rock Ape story and let us know y'all!

The Wild Men of the Vu Quang Nature Reserve in the deep jungles of Vietnam are well known to, and well respected by locals. A likely cousin to the Yeti of Tibet, and likely evolved through the native psilocybin, the Wild Men, also known as the Ujit or Batutut, are the keepers of the jungles and caves on and around Dong Den mountain, just north of Hoi An. Though their legend goes back hundreds of years, it wasn't until the Vietnam War sent bombs and soldiers crashing into their homeland that the sightings began with American GIs and the folklore made it's way to hearts of every small-town VFW hall last call. Join us today in part one of a two part episode where we focus on the presence of Giant Apes in the jungles of south eastern Asia. Join us next week for part two, the story of Minnesota Ice Man.

Welcome back Ford Explorers! This week the Colonel and Caleb are talking about the tiny Australian town of Larrimah. Larrimah is a tiny blip on the map, hosting only 12 residents, no one under the age of 50; a sort-of retirement home at the end of the world. The dozen or so characters that make up the town are the stuff of local legend, all revolving around the local watering hole and crocodile zoo, the Pink Panther. Well, on December 16th of 2017, one of the most outspoken member of this little community, Paddy Moriarty, went missing without a sight along with his dog Kellie. In a town with only 11 suspects, the case today is less a "Whodunnit" and more of a " Which one of y'all did it?". Like, share and subscribe y'all!

On June 12, 2009, the federal government discontinued analog broadcasting, and TV stations across the country began broadcasting solely in digital format. After decades of phone phreaking, hijacking a TV signal was the next evolution for many young hacker. However, with the birth of HDTV, the days of penetration testing you favorite TV satellite to broadcast your own message, or in most cases, porn, were fading quickly. Today, Caleb & the Colonel delve into a few of their favorite tales of TV signaljacking, from personal protests to a fake Czech nuclear attack. We also couldn't leave out the most famous case and a cyberpunk cornerstone, the Max Headroom Incident. We break down what happened, and who the likely culprit was or were, and where they may be now. Special thank to fuzzymemories.tv for the footage!

On June 28th of 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated in broad daylight, shot in the rear seat of the one of a kind Gräf and Stift Double Phaeton loaned to him by his friend Franz Von Harrach. Ferdinand's death that day would spark the fire of first World War, but it wasn't the last victim the Phaeton would claim. In fact, over the following years, the cursed car would go on to claim over a dozen lives, leaving very few survivors, and even fewer entirely unscathed. Tune in today as we explore the wrap sheet of the deadliest cursed car we've covered yet in the story of the White Stag Curse.

In 1966 in London, the World Cup Trophy, at the time the Jules Rimet Trophy, was stolen from a stamps exhibit during church service. The job was a professional one, and the trophy would elude authorities for months. Englands legendary Flying Squad was tasked with tracking the trophy and bring her home, but it would be instead uncovered by Pickles, a local sheep dog. While Pickles was able to enjoy minor fame, the trophy was on borrowed time, only to be once again stolen 13 years later in Rio, having still yet to resurface. In this heist story rife with familiar tropes, was it two separate jobs, or as we may have discovered, was it all one big plan by Pickles' owner, David Corbett, to have the fanciest salsa bowl in the UK? Find out today y'all.

Started by the legally blind snake oil salesman Shoko Asahara, Aum Shinrikyo was a Japanese death cult whose members were guilty of dozens of violent attacks, many involving chemical weapons they manufactured themselves like Sarin gas, VX and anthrax. Hoping to cause the beginning of World War III between the USA and China, Aum would author a devastating Sarin attack on the Tokyo Subway in 1995. Though formally rebranded and disbanded, many members continue to meet and the violence hasn't subsided even today.

On October 23rd, 1935, Dutch Schultz, who was a major player in organized crime, was gunned down at the Palace Chop House in Newark, New Jersey. Shultz, born Arthur Flegenheimer, was one of New York's biggest players during Prohibition, amassing an enormous wealth. Some of that wealth, is said to reside in the Catskill Mountains of New York state, just outside of a little town called Phoenicia. It's said, that when he knew his time was coming, he hid a strongbox of gold, gems and bonds worth 150$ million. Today, loyal Fjord Explorers, we delve the origins of that treasure, the eccentric criminal and the empire that made it, where we think it might be, and if we think it's still in the ground at all. Enjoy y'all!

Despite what the history books might say, Christopher Columbus was a loaf and two bit ding dong who bit off way more than he could chew with his conquest to the East in 1492. The most persistent issue plaguing him throughout the year's journey would be the cursed ship Gallega, renamed Santa Maria, that would eventually sink, leaving him stranded and beginning the whirlpool Columbus' life would become, leading to his timely demise. Much like the Koor I Nor Diamond that we've covered in the past, or even James Dean's Little Bastard, the Santa Maria was seemingly cursed, causing death and pain well beyond her sinking off the coast of Haiti on Christmas Eve, 1492. Find out all about it today with Caleb & the Colonel y'all!

In the three years between 1764 and 1767, the French countryside in Gévaudan was terrorized by a series of ghastly murders and violent attacks that many thought were the doing of a supernatural beast. Leaving it's victims beheaded and throat-torn, the longtime suspected perpetrator was a wolf-like creature, but was it that simple? Years of hunts commissioned by then King Louis XV led to dozens of dead wolves, but just as many dead ends. For a creature alleged to have been killed at least twice, we think there might just be more to the story. Did the beast exist at all, or was it just a cover for a serial killer, or maybe a team? Find out all that and more today.

The Aston Martin DB5 from the James Bond movie Goldfinger is widely regarded as one of the most important cars in the cinematic history. One of two cars used in the filming of the 1964 classic mysteriously vanished in 1997, from an airport hangar in Florida – a heist worthy of a detective film in itself. Is it hiding somewhere in the Middle East? Is it rusting in the bottom of the ocean? Or was it all just an insurance scam planned by a billionaire collector?

Born Frank Goodish, professional wrestler Bruiser Brody was stabbed to death in a Puerto Rican gym bathroom before his headlining match in 1988. The blurry line between reality and the story-line, known as kayfabe, paired with blatant corruption of the events promoters made for a unsolved murder that is long overdue for justice. See if you can separate work from shoot, heels from the babyfaces and help us get to the bottom of this cold case.

Today we are talking about the Government coverups, and just how bad the USAF is at the job. Project Blue Book was an intelligence gathering mission to log all major UFO/UAP sightings in mid-century America. A few of the most notable cases were in northwest Texas in the 50s, and that's what we want to focus on today. From repeated sightings by trusted academics, to an entire town of 10,000 witnessing the same craft, including 15 identical 911 calls, the Air Force's Men in Black did in fact show up to investigate, but they weren't secretive shadow figures pulling strings, but instead incredibly bold in their ineptitude and equally brazen with their laughable conclusions and cover-ups. Join us today as we talk aliens and roast the Air Force, just like they do in the Marines.

On the Fourth of July, 1928, Belgian financier and European economic impresario Alfred Lowenstein disappeared from his own flight in private plane over the English Channel. His alleged corpse was found days later, poorly identified and buried in an unmarked grave by his estranged wife. The at-the-time third wealthiest man in world's death is marred by questions and conspiracies, ranging from his death being arranged by New York crime boss Arnold Rothstein, who too would die later that year, to Lowenstein faking it himself to shake debtors and foes. We explore all that and more today, y'all.

For over two decades, Barry Seal, aka Ellis MacKenzie, was a prolific drug smuggler, working for many notable cartels, the biggest and best known being Pablo Escobar's Medellin Cartel. He was also an inside man with the CIA and DEA for most of his criminal activities, and many even link him to being the second man in the assassination of JFK by his flight school buddy, Lee Harvey Oswald. Give it a listen and tell us what you think in the comments below.
