Jack Ruby was an American nightclub owner who murdered Lee Harvey Oswald on November 24, 1963, two days after Oswald was accused of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Ruby shot and mortally wounded Oswald on live television in the basement of Dallas Police Headquarters and was immediately arrested. In a trial, Ruby was found guilty and sentenced to death. Ruby became ill, was diagnosed with cancer, and died of a pulmonary embolism on January 3, 1967. In 1964, the Warren Commission concluded that Ruby acted alone in killing Oswald, that Ruby shot Oswald on impulse and in retaliation for the Kennedy assassination. The commission's findings are challenged by various critics who hypothesize that Ruby was part of a conspiracy surrounding the Kennedy assassination. AND THAT IS JUST THE BEGINNING!

    WELCOME TO OUR 100th EPISODE!! To commemorate 100 episodes, we are starting our next multi-part series on one of the most controversial and discussed conspiracy theories of all time, the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, former President of the United States. John Fitzgerald Kennedy (May 29, 1917 – November 22, 1963), often referred to by his initials JFK and by the nickname Jack, was an American politician who served as the 35th president of the United States from 1961 until his assassination in 1963. He was the youngest person elected president and the youngest president at the end of his tenure. On November 22, 1963, Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas. His vice president, Lyndon B. Johnson, assumed the presidency upon Kennedy's death. Lee Harvey Oswald, a former U.S. Marine, was arrested for the assassination, but he was shot and killed by Jack Ruby two days later. The FBI and the Warren Commission both concluded Oswald had acted alone, but conspiracy theories about the assassination still persist. That is exactly what we will be talking about these next few weeks! Hold on to your asses, because things are about to get backwards!

The Bone Wars, also known as the Great Dinosaur Rush, was a period of intense and ruthlessly competitive fossil hunting and discovery during the Gilded Age of American history, marked by a heated rivalry between Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh . Each of the two paleontologists used underhanded methods to try to outdo the other in the field, resorting to bribery, theft, and the destruction of bones. Each scientist also sought to ruin his rival's reputation using attacks in scientific publications. So many important and impactful scientific discoveries were made during this time period in the 1800's. Hold on to your asses, because things are about to get backwards!

Tonight, we will attempt to understand the full story of The Perron Family, otherwise known as The Conjuring Family! After moving into a 200 acre plot of land with a 14 bedroom house, the Perron family allegedly experienced unprecedented amounts of paranormal activity for the ten years they lived at that house.

Ever since the premiere of The Conjuring and the skyrocketing fame of the Warrens, there has been a growing rumor of a haunted doll tucked away in the of their basement “museum”. A haunted doll with a supposed death toll, and a cinematic universe. The unassuming doll sits in a glass case while a tarot card of “The Devil” is stuck to the front of the case. But beneath the case is a sign that reads: “Warning, positively do not open.” Since her first supposed haunting in 1970, this allegedly evil doll has been blamed for demonic possession, a slew of violent attacks, and at least two near-death experiences.

    Join Kyle and Ardon as they delve into two of the most perplexing cases we've ever heard of; The Somerton Man case and the Peter Bergmann case.  EPISODE CONTENT WARNING: MENTIONS OF SUICIDE On Dec. 1, 1948, beachgoers came across a dead man on Australia's Somerton beach. Well-dressed, and with no signs of trauma, his identity and cause of death eluded local police. Soon, investigators dubbed him the “Somerton Man.” As their investigation deepened, so did the mystery. Not only did the man's possessions offer few clues, but investigators also found a slip of paper in the man's pocket which read “Tamám Shud,” Persian for, “it is finished.” It wasn't until as recent as 2022 that the identity of the Somerton man had been identified. The circumstances of the Somerton Man's death were so confusing, that it also started a media frenzy. The Peter Bergmann case pertains to the mysterious death of an unidentified man in Sligo, County Sligo, Ireland, on or around 16 June 2009. The man, using the alias "Peter Bergmann", had checked into the Sligo City Hotel on 12 June, where he stayed during the majority of his visit to Sligo. The man's movements were captured on CCTV throughout the town; however, the details of his actions and intentions remain unknown. His interactions with other people were limited, and little is known of his origins or the reason for his visit.

    Join Kyle, Ardon, and Alec as they dive into one of the most prolific celebrity deaths of all time: The Death of Marilyn Monroe! Marilyn Monroe  was an American actress, singer, and model. Famous for playing comedic "blonde bombshell" characters, she became one of the most popular sex symbols of the 1950s and early 1960s and was emblematic of the era's sexual revolution. She was a top-billed actress for a decade, and her films grossed $200 million (equivalent to $2 billion in 2021) by the time of her death in 1962.  In 1999, the American Film Institute ranked her sixth on their list of the greatest female screen legends from the Golden Age of Hollywood. However, the mysterious circumstances surrounding her untimely death have raised questions and conspiracy theories amongst those who have investigated the case. She was only 36 years old at the time when she died. Everything from the government to the mafia has been alleged to explain the circumstances of Marilyn Monroe's death.

    Join Kyle, Ardon, and Alec as they finally begin to cover one of the most famous cryptids of all time; BIGFOOT.   It's a fact that for more than 400 years people have reported seeing large, hair-covered, man-like animals in the wilderness areas of North America. It is a fact that sightings of these animals continue today. Real or not, these reports are often made by people of unimpeachable character. It is a fact that, for over seventy years, people have been finding, photographing, and casting sets of very large human-shaped tracks.  These tracks continue to be found to this day. It is a fact that the cultural histories of many Native American and First Nation peoples include stories and beliefs about non-human "peoples" of the wild. Many of these descriptions bear a striking resemblance to the hairy man-like creatures reported today. These are some of the facts. There is, however, much disagreement as to what these facts mean.   Hold on to your asses, because things are about to get backwards! https://linktr.ee/backasswardspod

    Join Kyle, Ardon, and Alec as they CONCLUDE their multi-part series in their MONTH OF ALIENS with one of the most important moments in UFOlogy history; The 1992 Alien Abduction Conference held at MIT. In 1992, just over 50 experts in the field of science came together at one of the country's top universities to discuss one of humanity's most complicated, emotional, frightening, and perplexing questions: Is there extraterrestrial life?  Because of the scientific nature of the conference, one might reasonably expect that a scientific conference on such a subject as people who have reported  abductions by "Little Green Men"  ought to be dismissed out of hand. And it certainly would have been, but for the credentials of those organizing the conference. This event was held for five days; June 13-17, 1992.
