Podcasts about anomalien

Axel und Dean tauchen tief in das Thema energetische Anomalien ein und beleuchten deren Auswirkungen sowie die Herausforderungen bei der wissenschaftlichen Untersuchung dieser Phänomene. Axel beschreibt seine intensiven Forschungsbemühungen, bei denen er an über 500 Orten wie Burgruinen, Kirchen und unterirdischen Kellern mit modernsten Methoden wie Tesla-Spulen und optischen Systemen arbeitet. Seine Ergebnisse zeigen, dass diese Anomalien technische Geräte stören und unerklärliche Ereignisse auslösen können. Besonders auffällig sind unerklärliche Phänomene wie Lichteffekte und Tonaufnahmen, die sich auf mögliche Einflüsse durch kosmische Energien, Realitätsveränderungen oder sogar ein Multiversum zurückführen lassen.Die beiden erörtern den Einfluss kosmischer Energien und historischer Überlieferungen wie das Konzept des Mondholzes, das durch spezielle Eigenschaften beeindruckt, beispielsweise eine höhere Resistenz gegen Schädlinge. Trotz über 8.000 Stunden Forschung und mehr als 10.000 Messergebnissen bleiben eindeutige Beweise schwierig, was die Erforschung dieser paranormalen Phänomene umso komplexer macht.Axel teilt auch außergewöhnliche Erlebnisse, etwa Technikprobleme in anomalen Bereichen, und hebt die mögliche Rolle des Bewusstseins bei der Wahrnehmung und Veränderung der Realität hervor. Er berichtet von Herausforderungen wie Missverständnissen mit Behörden und betont die Notwendigkeit weiterer Untersuchungen zu Themen wie Zeitanomalien, Teleportation und den Einfluss von Energiefeldern.Axel Breitung: https://energetische-anomalien.de/

New evidence seems to say so! (The Mysterious Three-Fingered Mummies of Peru – Alien or Hoax?) *** In the early morning hours of August 5, 1962, Marilyn Monroe was found dead inside her Los Angeles home of an apparent drug overdose — but suspicions of foul play have persisted ever since. (The Mysterious Death of Marilyn Monroe) *** Within the span of about 80 years two terrifying beasts emerged to haunt the imaginations of two European communities. From the werewolf of Ansbach to the mysterious Beast of Gévaudan, these creatures blurred the line between reality and legend, leaving a trail of death bodies, and people who even hundreds of years later in these areas are still frightened to go out after dark. (Two European Werewolves) *** The Hellfire Club, a secret society from the 1700s, provided a space for high-standing individuals to indulge in intellectual pursuits and social activities without judgment… but it also became infamous for its rumored hedonistic behaviors and dark rituals, though its true purpose and activities remain shrouded in mystery even today – making the rumors about it all the more tantalizing.

In den Analogen Anomalien werden kuriose Geschichten jenseits von Computern erzählt. In dieser Folge dreht sich alles um den Laufsport. Genauer gesagt um den Marathon. Bereits dessen Entstehungsgeschichte ist kurios und basiert auf einer alten Legende und der modernen Wiederbelebung der Olympischen Spiele. Diese Folge erzhält, warum man früher auch mal Gift während des Marathon eingenommen hat, wieso vor einigen Jahren tausende Menschen den Magen mit Seife verdorben und warum man Frauen früher die Teilnahme an solchen langen Laufveranstaltungen verboten hatte. Und noch ein bisschen mehr. Sprecher & Produktion: Wolfgang Schoch Musik: BACKPLATE von https://josephmcdade.com

Unser heutiger Gast hat nach dem Abitur Psychologie und Betriebswirtschaft studiert – zuerst an der eufom Business School, später an der FernUni Schweiz, wo sie ihren Master in Psychologie abschloss. Ihre anfängliche Begeisterung für Statistik und Data Science führte sie in ein junges KI-Unternehmen, das sich mit Machine Learning in der Luftfahrt beschäftigte. Dabei entdeckte sie das Themenfeld Predictive Maintenance: die Möglichkeit, Maschinenausfälle durch frühzeitige Prognosen zu verhindern. Aus dieser Faszination heraus entstand ihr eigenes Start-up, das bereits kurz nach seiner Gründung inmitten der Corona-Zeit die ersten Kunden gewinnen konnte. Heute führt sie als CEO ein interdisziplinäres Team, das einen digitalen Wartungsassistenten entwickelt hat: Dieser erkennt Anomalien in Maschinen, bevor teure Stillstände auftreten. Engagiert ist sie zudem als Landessprecherin im Startup-Verband, als Plenumsmitglied der Handelskammer Hamburg und als Botschafterin für junge Talente bei proTechnicale. Ihr Antrieb: KI nicht nur als Technologie, sondern als Chance begreifen, Arbeitsprozesse klüger und menschlicher zu gestalten – weil sie fest daran glaubt, dass die Psychologie hinter Big Data und Algorithmen eine entscheidende Rolle spielt. Seit fast acht Jahren beschäftigen wir uns in diesem Podcast mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt, statt ihn zu schwächen. In über 480 Gesprächen haben wir mit fast 600 Persönlichkeiten darüber gesprochen, was sich für sie geändert hat und was sich weiter ändern muss. Wie gelingt es, ein KI-Produkt zu entwickeln, das nicht nur die Technik, sondern auch die menschlichen Faktoren in der Industrie berücksichtigt? Welche Rolle spielt Psychologie, wenn es darum geht, in vermeintlichen „Männerbranchen“ das eigene Unternehmen zu gründen und zu führen? Und wie kann KI tatsächlich „New Work“ befördern, indem sie Routinearbeit abnimmt und Raum für menschliche Kreativität schafft? Fest steht: „New Work“ wird heute oft verzwergt – viele denken dabei an bunte Sitzsäcke, flache Hierarchien und Obstkörbe. Ursprünglich jedoch wurde der New-Work-Gedanke in einer Krise geboren, als neuer Weg zwischen Kapitalismus und Sozialismus, um den Menschen Raum zur Entfaltung zu geben und die Chancen neuer Technologien für echte Problemlösungen zu nutzen. Genau deshalb suchen wir weiter nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näher bringen. Darüber hinaus beschäftigt uns von Anfang an die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen. Ihr seid bei „On the Way to New Work“ – heute mit Lena Weirauch. [Hier](https://linktr.ee/onthewaytonewwork) findet ihr alle Links zum Podcast und unseren aktuellen Werbepartnern

(The Stone Tape Theory) *** One thing is for sure in this life – and that is, your life will eventually cease. How you go out could make or break your legacy.

These disturbing cases, spanning decades and continents, blur the lines between evil and the supernatural, leaving us questioning the true nature of their heinous crimes. From the infamous Son of Sam to a father who claimed demonic voices compelled him to murder his own child, we'll explore some of these cases and let you decide if the devil made them do it. (Demonic Crimes) *** The Rose family lived comfortably in the picturesque Pleasant Valley in the late 1800s. However, oldest daughter Ceely's unrequited love for a neighbor boy led to a series of chilling events. Her obsession turned deadly, leading not only to death, but to a ghostly presence as well. (Love, Poison, and Ghosts – The Case of Ceely Rose) *** In the wild era of the 1920s and 1930s, organized crime flourished in the United States, with hitmen like the mysterious "Buster from Chicago" making a name for themselves.

(The Enigmatic Hitman, Buster From Chicago) *** In July 1993, 26-year-old Kristin Ann set out for her morning jog, but her run ended in a horrifying, fatal attack.

Er ist eine der wenigen "Anomalien" im deutschsprachigen Journalismus, die sich eingehend mit dem Thema "UFO" auseinandersetzen und das auch nicht erst seit derartige Beobachtungen (zumindest in den USA) "salonfähig" wurden, sondern seit nunmehr fast 2 Jahrzehnten. Die Rede ist von Robert Fleischer - 2007 sprach ich mit ihm zum ersten Mal über "Exopolitik" und nun - rund 18 Jahre und ein umfassendes Buch später - wartet man nach wie vor darauf, dass die "Geheimniskrämerei" ihr wohl verdientes Ende finden möge. Robert Fleischer live auf CROPfm über aktuelle Entwicklungen in Sachen UFOs, Anomalien, Sackgassen, globale Entwicklungen und neue Horizonte...

They look like lost children… until you see their eyes — and realize you've just opened the door to something inhuman.Darkness Syndicate members get the ad-free version of #WeirdDarkness: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateIN THIS EPISODE: Described as childlike beings with eerie coal black eyes, no iris or pupils, and pale, white skin, a scourge of mysterious black-eyed children have been reported all over the world. There are hundreds of reports of black-eyed children, often seen in groups of two or more, who ask for permission to enter the person's home or vehicle. Witnesses often report an overwhelming feeling of dread and despair in their presence. What the black-eyed children seek is not known… nor is it known exactly what they are. (Invasion Of The Black Eyed Kids) *** In October of 1943, a U.S. Navy destroyer was supposedly turned invisible and teleported from Philadelphia to Norfolk. But did it really happen? (The Truth Behind The Philadelphia Experiment) *** The Witchcraft Act of 1735 ended the gruesome practice of burning witches at the stake, making it illegal to accuse anyone of having magical powers. Yet in 1944, Helen Duncan was convicted under this very law for fraudulent spiritual activities. Despite her claims of contacting spirits through ectoplasm and even revealing classified naval secrets, she was sentenced to prison. Her trial was one of the last times the Witchcraft Act was used before being replaced in 1951, but her supporters continue to campaign for her pardon. (Britain's Last Witch) *** Once a powerful festival, Dies Sanguinis, or "Day of Blood," honored the Roman goddess of war, Bellona, with animal sacrifices and martial rituals. The festival showcased Rome's military strength and dedication to victory. Although the rise of Christianity and the fall of the Roman Empire eventually ended the festival, its legacy still sheds light on the fascinating nature of ancient Roman culture. (Rome's Day of the Bloody Sacrifice) *** The Dardeen family was found brutally murdered in their home near Ina, Illinois, leaving residents and investigators stumped.

In 1909, all eyes turned to Worcester, Massachusetts, as a well-dressed businessman claimed he'd built a flying machine — and the world wanted to believe him so badly, they saw it in the sky whether it was there or not.IN THIS EPISODE: We'll look at the crazy story of the Great Worcester Airship Hoax of 1909! *** We'll meet a cat that must have more than nine lives, as it survived three World War Two shipwrecks and lived to meow about it! (Unsinkable Sam) *** UFO crash stories are somewhat ubiquitous, with most immediately pointing to Roswell, New Mexico… or Aurora, Texas… or even the so-called “Battle Over Los Angeles”.

In Triangle Agency werden die Spieler:innen von der namensgebenden Agentur auf Missionen geschickt, um Monster namens Anomalien einzufangen, die die Realität bedrohen. Und um genau diese Missionen dreht es sich im Abenteuerbuch namens “The Vault”. Dieses Buch enthält 12 vorgeschriebene Missionen, mit denen die Spielleitung ihre Gruppen auf die Probe stellen kann. Unser Controller-Kollege Lukas weiß, ob sich dieses Zusatzbuch lohnt.

Before Roswell made headlines, strange objects were already falling from the sky—and not all of them were weather balloons.IN THIS EPISODE: When you hear the words “UFO crash” you likely think of Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. And while that is the most famous of supposed extraterrestrial spaceship crashes, it is by no means the first. In fact, there were several taking place before Roswell became a household name. (UFO Crashes Before Roswell) *** But first – we'll take a look at Roswell itself… and what might have been behind the crash, the UFOs, and the aliens! (Behind Roswell's Aliens) *** Numerous travelers have gone missing in Nahanni Valley… and many whose bodies have been found, have been decapitated. It's no wonder it has been nicknamed “The Valley of Headless Men”. (The Valley of Headless Men) *** In 2016, construction in a San Francisco family's backyard unearthed a terrifying find… a glass coffin. And the history behind it tells a morbid history of the city. (The Karner's Backyard Glass Coffin) *** Former Green Beret Jeffrey MacDonald claimed that a gang of acid-crazed Manson Family copycats brutally murdered his pregnant wife and two daughters in 1970, but then he was found guilty. Did he commit the crime, or did the law convict the wrong man? (The Evil Deeds of Jeffrey MacDonald) *** It's understood that scientifically, alchemy – attempting to turn a substance or element into gold – is impossible.

A simple act of kindness on the open road can turn into a nightmare – these true stories of hitchhiking horror will make you think twice before picking up a stranger… or thumbing a ride yourself.IN THIS EPISODE: The open road is a beautiful place where you can make friends that you'd otherwise never meet and have adventures that will change your life. But there are also extreme dangers to traveling with strangers on highways and backroads. No matter how trustworthy or well-intentioned a driver might seem, it's nearly impossible to tell if they are actually a predator or murderer, preying upon innocent hitchhikers. Creepy, true hitchhiker stories can make you think twice before picking up that stranger at the side of the road - or trying to "thumb it" yourself.SOURCES AND RESOURCES FROM THE EPISODE…“The Hitchhiker” original story at the beginning of this episode was written by HoneyBunny00: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p8b53e2“Hitchhiking Horror Stories” by Isadora Teich for Ranker.com: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/3yj8t3ka, by Jacob Shelton for Ranker.com: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2s4a2wkz, Eric Redding for ThoughtCatalog.com:https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/hk8pn8rf, and from ScaryCarries.com: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2aead59t“Phantom Hitchhikers” posted at Anomalien.com: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/y4dxkv7m, Kelly Agan for Medium.com: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/36wucpzm, Paul Adams for The History Press:https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p8z538u, and Krystal DeCosta for ScientificAmerican.com:https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/mr29nkpa=====Darkness Syndicate members get the ad-free version. https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateInfo on the next LIVE SCREAM event. https://weirddarkness.com/LiveScreamInfo on the next WEIRDO WATCH PARTY event. https://weirddarkness.com/TV=====(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

In dieser Folge des JWR Podcast tauchen Ron von  @Moontropolis  und ich wieder tief in die Geheimnisse des Mondes ein. Wir sprechen über die Reaktionen auf unsere letzte Episode – viele von euch waren überrascht, dass der Mond vielleicht ganz anders ist, als wir es in der Schule gelernt haben. Ron erklärt, warum es so aussieht, als hätte der Mond eine Atmosphäre, die Farben und Strukturen beeinflusst, und wie Hobbyastronomen dokumentiert haben, dass sich die Mondfarben je nach Jahreszeit verändern können.Natürlich geht's auch um die große Frage: Gibt es Leben auf dem Mond – oder irgendwo anders im Universum? Während ich der offiziellen Mondlandung vertraue, bleibt Ron skeptisch, und wir diskutieren offen über die verschiedenen Theorien zur Entstehung von Leben. Wir schauen uns außerdem faszinierende Mondaufnahmen an – von Hobbyastronomen wie Bruce Schwartz, aber auch von NASA-Missionen wie Clementine und dem Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. Ron ist überzeugt, dass viele dieser Bilder mehr zeigen, als uns offiziell gesagt wird. Gibt es versteckte Strukturen oder sogar Energiequellen auf dem Mond? Von Sinus Iridum bis zum Kepler-Krater – Ron zeigt beeindruckende Symmetrien, Lichtanomalien und riesige Gebilde, die fast wie Plattformen oder Transportwege aussehen könnten. Ich frage mich: Sind das wirklich natürliche Formationen oder steckt mehr dahinter?Globaler Mond kolorierthttps://archive.org/details/index_20211022Kolorierter Bildausschnitt Globaler Mondhttps://archive.org/details/nearsidePanorama-Mond in natürlichen Farbenhttps://archive.org/details/lroc-panorama_202502Makro-Betrachtung:Kolorierter Bildausschnitt Globaler Mondhttps://viewer.gigamacro.com/view/y4AiKejyfuYreBGhMond-Panorama in echter Farbe (NASA LROC)https://viewer.gigamacro.com/view/Ql7331ktiXD3FF1zGlobaler Mond – A.I.-Koloriert (NASA LROC)https://viewer.gigamacro.com/view/kP6Ac5MmrKr5YANwMare Humorum in natürlichen Farben (Clementine Mission)https://viewer.gigamacro.com/view/97CvYgycXuR7CcDPOriginal-Quelle: https://www.lroc.asu.edu/images/downloadsBruce Swartz:https://www.youtube.com/@BruceSeesall ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What if the Moon isn't just a big rock floating in space, but something way more mysterious—maybe even an ancient, hollow structure placed there on purpose?IN THIS EPISODE: Conspiracy theories, while often dark, can also be kind of humorous due to being so outlandishly unbelievable. For example… is the Earth's moon artificial, and actually an extraterrestrial spaceship? We'll look at the strange theory. (Could Our Moon Be An Alien Spaceship?) *** In 1912 one of the most brutal slayings in America took place in the small town of Villisca, Iowa… a murder so brutal that numerous documentaries have been made about it, books have been written, and amateur detectives have poured over the facts and suspects still trying to find out who the murderer was that swung the bloody axe. (The Unsolved Villisca Ax Murders) *** The President of the United States, no matter who is in the position at the time, is always in danger from those who would like to see someone else in office. We'll hear on the news of the assassination attempts that came close, but we more often than not are completely unaware of the attempts and plans that have been thwarted – and some of those attempts to kill a sitting U.S. President have been extremely bizarre. (Bizarre Assassination Attempts on U.S. Presidents) *** Some Biblical accounts seem unbelievable and we tend to dismiss them as fantasies, or dreams of the person writing the events down. But what if some of the strange creatures described in the bible are actually real – but come from another dimension, or even outer space? (Are Extraterrestrials in the Bible?) *** If you are told there is a city that has been built specifically for the dead, you probably think of some ancient culture that worshipped their ancestors. Personally, I think of pyramids in Egypt… but I never would've thought of the suburbs in California, USA.

HOUR ONE: In the 1960s, Brian Leathley-Andrew investigated and reported on numerous cases of strange objects in the sky, trying to get to the truth of what people were seeing. But when sinister events began happening to him, he knew he had to walk away from his career in Ufology – or the government might make him go away. (UFO Hunter Becomes The Hunted) *** Saying the disappearance of David Glenn Lewis is bizarre doesn't even begin to scratch the surface. What started out as a strange missing person's case would eventually be resolved. But the answer that would come would pose even more questions, proving the adage that “truth is stranger than fiction”. (The Disappearance of David Glenn Lewis) *** The idea of a person changing into a wolf, or shape-shifting into some type of animal or cryptid is mostly confined to the authors of fictional horror. But not all societies and cultures are so quick to label shape-shifting as make-believe. (Shapeshifters And Therianthropes)==========HOUR TWO: “The Gadsden Hotel in Cochise County, Arizona” *** When you hear the name “Transylvania” the immediate image in your mind is probably that of Dracula. But this Romanian town has more creepiness than just the Count's castle – it is also a hot spot for UFO activity and mysterious unexplained happenings. Some even think it could be the location of a portal to another dimension. (Is There A Dimensional Portal in Transylvania?) *** Sightings of unidentified flying objects might seem like a recent phenomena, with most reports occurring in the 20th and 21stcenturies. But UFO sightings go a lot further back in human history – and our ancient ancestors were just as shocked, confused and sometimes terrified, as we are today. (Ancient UFO Sightings)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: A man goes off for supplies, leaving his wife behind to tend to the home in his absence – but not only did he never come home with the groceries, but a ghost story grew out of it. (The Ghosts of Hunger Valley) *** A UFO incident which we have covered before, but is worth looking at again, is an incident in 1952. This was one of the first admitted entity sightings and probably also one of the earliest close encounters of the third kind investigated officially at the time it took place.==========SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM TONIGHT'S SHOW:“The Gadsden Hotel in Cochise County, Arizona” from Paranormality Magazine“Is There A Dimensional Portal in Transylvania?” by A.

When a supposed new Mark Twain novel appeared years after his death—allegedly dictated through a Ouija board—it sparked controversy, lawsuits, and the ultimate question: who owns the words of the dead? In this bizarre case of literary rights beyond the grave, the battle wasn't just over authorship, but whether the spirit world had a legal leg to stand on.IN THIS EPISODE: Did Mark Twain write a new novel after he was dead? If so, how? *** Though David Parker Ray's girlfriend Cindy Hendy helped him commit numerous rapes and murders in the 1990s, she was released in 2019 and walks free today. *** Louis Le Prince vanished under mysterious circumstances, but did he willingly decide to hide from the outside world, or was he murdered? *** A man has a dream so disturbing that he's deeply affected by it well after he dreamt it. And the reason it stuck with him could be that it wasn't a dream after all – but a premonition of something horrible to come. *** Shortly after finishing her junior year of high school, Alissa Turner disappeared, never to be seen alive again. Her murder would've gone unsolved if not for the social media platform, TikTok. *** Humans have been fascinated with Mars ever since we learned it was a planet. But why are we so obsessed with it? Is it simply our next step towards deep-space travel, or are we drawn to it for a more basic reason… because our ancestors originated from there? *** There are many UFO sightings on record, but ones that are accompanied by missing time are particularly interesting. Perhaps not least as they might suggest something more akin to alien abduction than just a mere sighting. We'll look at one particular incident that took place in Nebraska in 1966.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Disclaimer and Show Open00:02:43.912 = Do Copyright Laws Apply To Spirit Writing? 00:14:29.527 = The Murder Solved Through TikTok00:20:07.426 = The Nebraska Time Affair00:35:51.680 = The Strange Dreams of Mr. Moir00:40:42.529 = Did Our Ancestors Live On Mars?00:52:53.837 = The Toy Box Killer's Girlfriend01:01:57.766 = The Strange Disappearance of Louis Le Prince01:07:43.703 = Show Close, Verse, and Final ThoughtSOURCES AND RESOURCES FROM THE EPISODE…“The Nebraska Missing Time Affair” by Marcus Lowth for UFO Insight: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yckjf4xe“The Toy Box Killer's Girlfriend” by Marco Margaritoff for All That's Interesting: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p8k8j79“The Strange Disappearance of Louis Le Prince” by Jan Bartek for Ancient Pages: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p9f5zdd“The Strange Dreams of Mr. Moir” posted at Anomalien: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/33za3tej“The Murder Solved Through TikTok” by Olivia McCormack for Bust.com: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/42s9je2z“Did Our Ancestors Live On Mars?” posted at Earth-Chronicles.com: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/4j8pcrwe“Do Copyright Laws Apply to Spirit Writing?” posted at Esoterx.com: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/nzsen4v5=====Darkness Syndicate members get the ad-free version. https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateInfo on the next LIVE SCREAM event. https://weirddarkness.com/LiveScreamInfo on the next WEIRDO WATCH PARTY event. https://weirddarkness.com/TV=====(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

For decades, eerie crashes, shadowy figures, and chilling encounters with a horned entity have plagued Dawstone Road—could a demonic force be lurking in the darkness?IN THIS EPISODE: Dawstone Road is where some say the veil between our reality and the unknown is thin. A motorist's brush with death in 1961 sparked a chain of inexplicable events. From encounters with horned entities to unexplained accidents, the road holds secrets that seem to defy rational explanation. (The Demon of Dawstone Road) *** There is a dark history and supernatural secrets at the Manila Film Center. Built as a symbol of power and prestige during the Marcos regime, its construction was rushed, resulting in a catastrophic collapse that claimed numerous lives. But the horror didn't end there.

What do you say when meeting an extraterrestrial?IN THIS EPISODE: Three boys fishing in the middle of the night hear a blood-curdling scream. But it wasn't a human making all that noise – it was an extraterrestrial. And thus began a series of meetings with alien beings! (What Do You Say When Meeting An Extraterrestrial?) *** A day of hilarity turns into a day of horror as an uncontrollable fire breaks out at the Ringling Bros Barnum & Bailey Circus – resulting in the most deadly circus disaster in history. (The Day The Clowns Cried) *** Most ghosts and specters do a great job of scaring the pants off you – and some can get creative with how they do it, with stacking chairs, making toys talk, slamming doors, etc. But apparently not all spooks are worried about their reputation – and when it comes to haunting, they just phone it in, doing the bare minimum.

And for almost every urban legend, there is a road to take you there… a road often just as terrifying as the urban legend it takes you to.

(A Broad-Shouldered Bully Was Wiener) *** Extraterrestrials come in all shapes and sizes if you believe what you see on television, film, and even online in the fringe conversations of UFO enthusiasts. The most famous of the aliens are usually depicted in the very realistic, humanoid form… the Greys. But what exactly are the Greys? And is it possible they aren't extraterrestrial at all?

(The Devil Made Him Do It) *** A tribe living in the Amazon Jungle tells about a strange encounter they had with an extraterrestrial and a strange beam of light. (That Time An Alien Visited the Kayapo People) *** An elderly man decides he needs to hire someone to help him care for his property… but who he chose would bring only death and a mystery that still goes unsolved. (The Wonnangatta Station Murders) *** Lizard people. Reptilians. It's one of the strangest and most controversial conspiracy theories in existence – and we'll look at some of the history behind the idea, as well as what science says about the possibility of it being a reality. (The Myths and Modern Science of Reptilians) *** A nun who wasn't very good at being a nun ended up being a nun without a head. (The Headless Nun of Watton Priory) *** We've all been asked the question, “How do you want to die when it comes your time?” Aside from the boring but realistic answer of “quietly in my sleep” some would prefer to go out in a blaze of glory, doing something heroic to save a person or persons from imminent doom. But of course that does not happen for most of us. In fact, there are probably more people going out in a blaze of stupidity!

They whispered about the undead rising through dark rituals, but deep in the swamp, where the air is thick with fog and secrets, the legends of Voodoo zombies are more than just stories.Darkness Syndicate members get the ad-free version. https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateInfo on the next LIVE SCREAM event. https://weirddarkness.com/LiveScreamInfo on the next WEIRDO WATCH PARTY event. https://weirddarkness.com/TVIN THIS EPISODE: Movies like Shaun of the Dead, Night of the Living Dead, World War Z, and TV shows like The Walking Dead, have made the subject of zombies a fairly popular topic over recent years. And while we all know these undead creatures are purely make-believe, the idea of the zombie has been around for thousands of years… and in the Voodoo culture, they've found a way to make zombies a real, horrifying thing. (The Disturbing Truth Behind Voodoo Zombies) *** In July of 1956, the SS Andrea Doria collided with another ship and quickly sank to the bottom of the ocean. Today it is a tourist destination for brave divers who not only want to see something hauntingly beautiful, but who also dare to investigate a wreck that has been deemed by many to be cursed – and for good reason. (The Cursed Remains of the SS Andrea Doria) *** Paranormal author and researcher G. Michael Vasey tells of a personal incident that took place recently where he saw what could be described as a “peripheral person”.

But that doesn't mean you can say they were failures. (The Inventor of Weird Contraptions) *** If the legends are to believed, you'll want to avoid driving down Nan Tucks Lane in East Sussex - unless you don't mind coming into contact with a vengeful ghost. (The Witch of Nan Tucks Lane) *** Where in the bible do we see the story of fallen angels sleeping with women to produce a breed of giants? Most would point to the book of Genesis – but in the unincluded book of Enoch, it tells a more-detailed account, worthy of a horror movie. (The Story of Giants and Fallen Angels) *** Some people collect baseball cards, others coins, and others Pokemon. There's no telling what someone might find enough of an interest in to begin collecting. And collecting books is one of the most common – but when your collecting becomes a compulsion and you can't stop yourself, it can get out of hand.

Anneliese Michel's tragic battle with horrific demonic possession and the exorcisms performed on her, inspired the chilling film “The Exorcism of Emily Rose”. But was she truly possessed, or suffering from schizophrenia? Or maybe something more sinister?Darkness Syndicate members get the ad-free version. https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateInfo on the next LIVE SCREAM event. https://weirddarkness.com/LiveScreamInfo on the next WEIRDO WATCH PARTY event. https://weirddarkness.com/TVIN THIS EPISODE: Most horror film fans will either have seen or at least know about the 2005 movie, “The Exorcism of Emily Rose”. The story follows a woman who acts as a kind of defense attorney for a priest who is on trial for murder after a girl dies when he performs an exorcism on her. The film is loosely… very loosely… based on a real story of a girl named Anneliese Michel, who so demonically possessed, that in the span of just ten months she forced to endure 67 exorcisms. (The 67 Exorcisms of Anneliese Michel) *** Ever since the beginning of the 16th century, Penkaet Castle has been the scene of a number of unexplained mysteries – and people who visited this old lonely Scottish castle have had some terrifying experiences. (The Peculiar Happenings at Penkaet Castle) *** When they knock on your door and say, “Let us in” or “We need to use the phone” – do not let them through the door if you notice their eyes are completely black. I'm talking about black-eyed children. Have you ever wondered what happens if they do get through the door? The answer is not pretty. (What Happens When You Let a Black-Eyed-Kid Inside Your House?) *** Is it possible that a tribe in the Amazon found a way to travel to another dimension thousands of years ago – and still do so today, through something called DMT? (The DMT Mystery) *** Why do ghosts haunt us? Author and researcher Brian Haughton has a few thoughts and the subject and takes us through a short history of ghostly folklore, and some theories as to why there are hauntings in the first place. (Ghosts and Folklore) *** Things begin to feel or sound wrong. You feel you are the size of a mouse, or the size of a mountain – or the objects you are looking at are the wrong size. The whole concept of time might become meaningless and confusing to you. You'll have no way to control it, your doctor won't be able to help, and you'll never see it coming. With a name like Alice in Wonderland Syndrome, it might sound harmless, but once you hear what it is, you'll hope or your children never get it.

Spooks are known to haunt houses, castles, cemeteries, abandoned hospitals, and even toys or other objects… but somehow, it's haunted roads that seem the darkest for many. (America's Haunted Roads) *** A heating engineer working in the Treasurer's House in York, England is disturbed by music… and then the ghostly presence of at least twenty Roman soldiers walking right past him through the walls! (The Roman Ghosts of York) *** The last man hanged at Bodmin Jail not only still lingers at the location – he has even been caught on camera. (The Haunting of Bodmin Jail) *** We'll share the true and tragic story of a teenaged girl who's abnormality landed her on the freak show circuit, with people paying to gawk at “The Camel Girl”. (Ella Harper: The Freak Show Camel Girl) *** And be sure to listen to the end… because I'll be sharing a special preview of a new podcast that I'm hosting called “Allegedly” which is already available to listen to. Our first episode stars Michael Emerson, whom you might remember from the TV shows “Lost”, “A Person of Interest” or Paramount+'s current hit series, “Evil”.

IN THIS EPISODE: We'll look at the crazy story of the Great Worcester Airship Hoax of 1909! *** We'll meet a cat that must have more than nine lives, as it survived three World War Two shipwrecks and lived to meow about it! (Unsinkable Sam) *** UFO crash stories are somewhat ubiquitous, with most immediately pointing to Roswell, New Mexico… or Aurora, Texas… or even the so-called “Battle Over Los Angeles”. But there are many other stories of flying saucers crashing to Earth – and we'll look at one that took place in Bolivia, in 1978.

IN THIS EPISODE: When you hear the words “UFO crash” you likely think of Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. And while that is the most famous of supposed extraterrestrial spaceship crashes, it is by no means the first. In fact, there were several taking place before Roswell became a household name. (UFO Crashes Before Roswell) *** But first – we'll take a look at Roswell itself… and what might have been behind the crash, the UFOs, and the aliens! (Behind Roswell's Aliens) *** Numerous travelers have gone missing in Nahanni Valley… and many whose bodies have been found, have been decapitated. It's no wonder it has been nicknamed “The Valley of Headless Men”. (The Valley of Headless Men) *** In 2016, construction in a San Francisco family's backyard unearthed a terrifying find… a glass coffin. And the history behind it tells a morbid history of the city. (The Karner's Backyard Glass Coffin) *** Former Green Beret Jeffrey MacDonald claimed that a gang of acid-crazed Manson Family copycats brutally murdered his pregnant wife and two daughters in 1970, but then he was found guilty. Did he commit the crime, or did the law convict the wrong man? (The Evil Deeds of Jeffrey MacDonald) *** It's understood that scientifically, alchemy – attempting to turn a substance or element into gold – is impossible. But then, there is that one incident that took place in the early seventeenth century that has some people wondering if that's wrong.

IN THIS EPISODE: The open road is a beautiful place where you can make friends that you'd otherwise never meet and have adventures that will change your life. But there are also extreme dangers to traveling with strangers on highways and backroads. No matter how trustworthy or well-intentioned a driver might seem, it's nearly impossible to tell if they are actually a predator or murderer, preying upon innocent hitchhikers. Creepy, true hitchhiker stories can make you think twice before picking up that stranger at the side of the road - or trying to "thumb it" yourself.SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“The Hitchhiker” original story at the beginning of this episode was written by HoneyBunny00: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p8b53e2“Hitchhiking Horror Stories” by Isadora Teich for Ranker.com: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/3yj8t3ka, by Jacob Shelton for Ranker.com: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2s4a2wkz, Eric Redding for ThoughtCatalog.com:https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/hk8pn8rf, and from ScaryCarries.com: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2aead59t“Phantom Hitchhikers” posted at Anomalien.com: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/y4dxkv7m, Kelly Agan for Medium.com: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/36wucpzm, Paul Adams for The History Press:https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p8z538u, and Krystal DeCosta for ScientificAmerican.com:https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/mr29nkpaWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library. = = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

IN THIS EPISODE: Conspiracy theories, while often dark, can also be kind of humorous due to being so outlandishly unbelievable. For example… is the Earth's moon artificial, and actually an extraterrestrial spaceship? We'll look at the strange theory. (Could Our Moon Be An Alien Spaceship?) *** In 1912 one of the most brutal slayings in America took place in the small town of Villisca, Iowa… a murder so brutal that numerous documentaries have been made about it, books have been written, and amateur detectives have poured over the facts and suspects still trying to find out who the murderer was that swung the bloody axe. (The Unsolved Villisca Ax Murders) *** The President of the United States, no matter who is in the position at the time, is always in danger from those who would like to see someone else in office. We'll hear on the news of the assassination attempts that came close, but we more often than not are completely unaware of the attempts and plans that have been thwarted – and some of those attempts to kill a sitting U.S. President have been extremely bizarre. (Bizarre Assassination Attempts on U.S. Presidents) *** Some Biblical accounts seem unbelievable and we tend to dismiss them as fantasies, or dreams of the person writing the events down. But what if some of the strange creatures described in the bible are actually real – but come from another dimension, or even outer space? (Are Extraterrestrials in the Bible?) *** If you are told there is a city that has been built specifically for the dead, you probably think of some ancient culture that worshipped their ancestors. Personally, I think of pyramids in Egypt… but I never would've thought of the suburbs in California, USA.
