The true-crime saga of the intertwined lives of a Native spiritual leader and a prominent literary figure—and their shared work in their pursuit to right a tragic wrongful conviction.Silas John Edwards—a charismatic Apache medicine man—was known as a controversial figure on Apache reservations in Arizona and New Mexico, where white authorities determined to maintain control over reservation life. When his wife, Margaret, was brutally murdered in 1933, Silas John was tried and convicted—receiving a sentence of life in prison. The key piece of evidence against Silas John was a rock found near Margaret's body, scratched with his initials, “S. J. E.".Were the scratched initials an attempt to frame a man whose independent path was deemed troublesome? Eighteen years into Silas John's sentence, the celebrated writer of the Perry Mason mysteries, Erle Stanley Gardner, received a desperate letter from the incarcerated medicine man. Gardner and Silas John met in prison and joined forces to reinvestigate the case. Under the auspices of Gardner's Court of Last Resort, an organization like today's Innocence Project that investigated cases of wrongful conviction, Gardner traveled through Arizona's varied reservation landscapes to hunt for clues.Together Silas John and Gardner attempted to unravel the flimsy evidence—including dubious footprint casts and questionable claims of Apache custom—to shatter the "cement silence" of prison and fight for the freedom of a historically important spiritual leader. The Case of the Autographed Corpse details a dramatic and little-known episode in American history and two men's unwavering commitment to the truth.

Sooooo ... the best way to think of this episode is a bit like Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. But instead of there being a bereaved scientist obsessed with resurrection, we have a monster of a story stuck together from different audio body parts made by audio makers from all over the world. Our Programming and Community Coordinator Catarina Fraga Matos breaks down the way the audio corpse works:  Here's how the audio corpse works. Storytellers received a prompt to create a short audio story up to three minutes long. But here's the catch. The prompt they receive, it's only the last 10 seconds of the story that came before. So they take that tiny fragment and use it as an inspiration for an entirely new piece that has to be made in 48 hours, and that continues the story in some way. Special shout-out to M.Cristina Marras for kicking off this idea for All The Best and to our amazing All The Best Intern Nili Javid for stitching all the audio corpses together. Head Produced by M.

When a detective's daughter vanished in 1930s Denver, it looked like a kidnapping — but what unfolded behind closed doors was a domestic nightmare involving poison, deception, and a stepmother with a deadly secret.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/MurderWithoutMotiveREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p9xsndeFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: They found the first body stuffed inside the church library's closet. Then a second body turned up. It's the creepy case of Theo Durrant – better known in San Francisco as the Demon of the Belfry. (Demon of the Belfry) *** In 1989 a man anonymously claimed he had worked at Area 51 where alien technology was being reverse-engineered for the Pentagon. It sounded like the crazed thoughts of a madman at the time. But now, thirty years later, it does not seem so absurd. (Bob Lazar, The Pentagon, And UFOs) *** One of our Weirdo family members tells the true story of a young child told not to be sad when her grandfather passes away… before anyone knew he had died. (The Old Woman In The Basement) *** Some very strange things have been taking place in Sedona Arizona – including ghosts, UFOs, and even people supposedly seeing living dinosaurs. (Strangeness at the Bradshaw Ranch) *** Is it possible that the reason Jack The Ripper was never caught, is because he was only visiting London at the time and then returned to his home in Missouri, USA? (Was Jack The Ripper From St. Louis?) *** 
It's a story called “Murder Without Motive”. It's a chapter from the upcoming audiobook I'm narrating called “Suffer The Children: American Horrors, Homicides, and Hauntings” by Troy Taylor.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = The Foreboding00:03:25.609 = Show Open00:05:39.964 = Murder Without Motive00:41:07.245 = Was Jack The Ripper From St. Louis? ***00:54:42.147 = Strangeness At Bradshaw Ranch ***01:07:18.745 = The Old Woman In The Basement01:12:45.448 = Bob Lazar, The Pentagon, and UFOs ***01:17:10.404 = Demon Of The Belfry01:21:57.234 = Show Close*** = Begins immediately after inserted ad breakLISTEN ON PODCAST APPS: Look for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.

Become an OFFICIAL WEIRDO for commercial-free episodes, bonus episodes, weeknight live chats, audiobooks & more at https://WeirdDarkness.com/OFFICIALWeird Darkness brings together six accounts of murder and high strangeness: a Denver stepmother who fed her family crushed glass, a St. Louis patent-medicine salesman accused of being Jack the Ripper, an Arizona ranch the government bought and sealed, a second-grader warned of two deaths before anyone made the calls, the man who said he took apart alien craft at Area 51, and a Sunday school superintendent who left bodies inside his own church.It opens on the October 1930 disappearance of ten-year-old Leona O'Loughlin, daughter of Denver police detective Leo O'Loughlin, whose body was found floating in Berkeley Park Lake two days later. Her stomach held ground glass, and so did her father's, both of them served from the bowl of rice her stepmother Pearl O'Loughlin had set on the table between them. Pearl had already tried the same method on her father-in-law's sugar bowl and on her sister's cat and dog, and the story comes from Troy Taylor's "Suffer the Children – American Horrors, Homicides and Hauntings."From there the show turns to Dr. Francis J. Tumblety, an uneducated patent-medicine peddler who kept a collection of women's uteruses in jars and was renting rooms on Batty Street in Whitechapel when the 1888 Ripper murders began. Inspector John Littlechild of Scotland Yard named him as a suspect in 1913, and the whole theory rests on one disputed date – whether Tumblety made bail on November 8th or November 16th, with Mary Kelly butchered in her bed on the 9th. He died at St. John's Hospital in St. Louis in May 1903, an estate of more than $135,000 behind him.Next is Bradshaw Ranch, 140 acres outside Sedona in the Verde Valley, where Linda Bradshaw reported orbs, shadow people, four short gray aliens in tan one-piece uniforms, a Bigfoot she nicknamed Big Girl, and a five-foot bipedal lizard standing on a dirt path one evening. She wrote it up with ufologist Tom Dongo in "Merging Dimensions: The Opening Portals of Sedona," and instrument readings on the property measured a magnetic field hundreds of times stronger than the surrounding desert. The U.S. government bought the ranch in May 2003 and closed it to the public without explanation.Then a Weirdo family member named Ashley Delia describes the morning her family drove out to tell her second-grade cousin that their grandfather had died in a hotel room in Effingham, Illinois. The girl wasn't surprised – a little old lady in the basement of their newly built house had already told her it was his time, and told her not to be sad. Four months later the lady came back to say the girl's other grandfather was going next, and the phone rang twenty minutes after that.After that comes Bob Lazar, who sat for a KLAS-TV interview in May 1989 under the name Dennis and said the military was reverse-engineering alien craft at a facility near Groom Lake. He described a ship that turns its belly toward its destination before it moves, which is close to what Navy aviators recorded in the Gimbal and Tic Tac encounters the Pentagon released decades later.The episode closes on Easter week of 1895 at Emanuel Baptist Church in San Francisco, where someone opened a closet in the church library and found Minnie Williams strangled and stabbed, her hands nearly severed. A search of the building turned up Blanche Lamont in the belfry, stripped and posed with her hands folded. Sunday school superintendent William Henry Theodore Durrant had courted both women, and the jury convicted him in five minutes, then sat and finished their cigars before walking back in so the verdict wouldn't look rushed.

Send us Fan MailOn this week's Episplode, Brian and Brian explain Geography for our loyal and simple listeners. Yes, Zimbabwe is mentioned and covered extensively by Brian using many languages, a chicken and a bucket.The other, but more important subject both Brian's fussed over is to do with is the good old Bus Terminus and associated outbuildings, the free busrides, the graffiti and the stabbings. All good wholesome fun but never on time.Brian pinpoints a grand old time when every adult in Orstraylya and a few kiddies sat down in front of the black and white tele and watched Pick a Corpse. Those heady days with Bob and Dolly Dyer. Yes, everyone tuned in to watch Dolly swallow flaming Bats and fight Chimpanzees. All of this while Bob smoked 20 Rothmans and balanced plates on his head. Fuckin magnificent viewing and the first show to incorporate swollen unalive humans. Great stuff. Better than Neighbours or fuckin Romper Room, Idiots.On a surprising note, Bevan catches fire during the last 4 seconds of this episode, don't turn off early, this is award winning stuff and shit.

This week, a great lineup of sugar sits before our Creeps. We're trying Little Bites mystery flavored mini muffins, Little Debbie Cosmic Brownie themed mini muffins, and we're washing it down with the bold jolt of Alani Witches Brew - one of the best ones they make.Then, Matt shares the worst college football crime in years with Kelsey, someone who usually does not sport. We're talking about the now infamous Michigan loss that was egregiously turned into a win by referee intervention, the addition of an extra second, and an undeserved extra hail mary attempt for Michigan. Matt also shares the Western Michigan University paper's reporting of a robbery, because it for sure was.The Creeps also talk about doing what we want, kicking Spooky Season into high gear, what makes the best cereal milk, and Matt's love of football when it's done fairly.

This week, the Creeps talk about Matt's birthday party, where we tried Kelsey's best ever Italian Cream Cake. Then, Matt's uncle Kenny brought up a chocolate cake, donuts, and Bismarck's from Nu Era Bakery, located at 120 Stratton St. in Logan, WV. Open Tue-Fri 7 AM-5 PM, Sat 7-3, closed Sun-Mon. None of this cake lasted, we ate all of it. Then, Matt gets into some winter squatch, and then I guess some summer squatch? We're talking about abominable snowmen. But not just any old kind, nope we've gone weirder than ever, bringing you the Underwater Abominable Snowman of the Bahamas, found by whacked out divers in the late 70s. Somehow.They also talk about birthday parties, twists, cake fiends during cake season, hot dog shapes, the Buttercream Gang, and the history of yeti legends large and small.

This week, Kelsey travelled home with at least a bakers dozen of Pokémon styled goodies from Krispy Kreme! She also had to grab some seasonals because we are forever known for our love of Autumn snacks.

In Arizona, a couple steal thousands of dollars worth of books from their local library in an attempt to resell them to Half Price Books, for an amount we can only assume is like twenty bucks...The Creeps also talk about their favorite starter pokemon, opting for the seasonals and specialties, expensive hotel breakfast, library overdues, and the literacy crisis.

A dead wife. A fake ghost. A sanitarium hiding a killer. The Shadow twists all three into one of its most devious mysteries, where a murder case becomes a trap built on paranoia, stolen bonds, and a corpse that may not be as dead as everyone thinks. When Lamont Cranston and Margo Lane start tracing Claire Bentley's terrified claims about a ghost from the grave, they uncover a chain of lies stretching from a moonlit cemetery to a private mental hospital. The deeper they dig, the stranger it gets - an empty metal box, a forged telegram, a missing shoe with no lace, and a doctor whose institution seems to be protecting something far more dangerous than patients. You'll discover:Why Claire Bentley believed a man from the dead was hunting herHow a fake mental diagnosis becomes the perfect cover for crimeWhat the missing bonds have to do with a staged explosionWhy the Manchek Sanitarium is hiding more than it admitsHow The Shadow uses fear, bluff, and perfect timing to turn the hunters into the trappedThis episode is packed with classic noir atmosphere, sharp reversals, and a final reveal that turns every assumption upside down. Lamont Cranston brings the logic, Margo Lane brings the urgency, and The Shadow brings the sentence nobody can escape: the truth. Perfect for listeners who love old-time radio, locked-room mysteries, psychological suspense, and villains who think insanity is a loophole. If you want a fast-moving thriller with ghosts, greed, and a mastermind in the dark, this one delivers.

This week, CODE ORANGE! The Creeps are still getting spooky and it's gonna stay that way! We're trying more Bones coffee, first the Army of Dark Chocolate variety, as Kelsey cold brews it with cold foam and chocolate drizzle because we're awesomely bougie and it only gets more fancy from there. They try S'morey Time, Holy Cannoli with all sorts of accoutrement.Then, Matt takes Kelsey on a trip to 1800's New England (all of New England, just all of it) for the insanity of several stories on the panicked belief that friends and family were vampires from beyond the grave. That those vampires were making the living sick instead of it being (Tuberculosis) consumption. And that the bodies needed to be exhumed, examined to determine vampirism, in which they were then cut apart and re-buried or even burned in (often failed) attempts to spare the ones left sick above ground.They also talk about the candy and pumpkin spice flowing, coffee roasts, needing caffeine for night recording, fall trips on the east coast, Colin Robinson, Val Kilmer in Tombstone, and Matt's pocket knife. Trigger warning: this episode contains Updog.

Was he a thief, a would-be murderer, or something far more dangerous? Inspector Frank Grasby is sent to investigate, hoping the case might finally repair his damaged reputation, but nothing in Elderby is quite as it seems.Yajaira and Cheli are officially on the case, examining the clues, questioning the suspects, and deciding whether this snowbound Christmas mystery delivers a clever and satisfying reveal, or leaves too many loose ends buried in the snow.Support the showOur Linktree: https://linktr.ee/thebookfix?utm_source=linktree_admin_sharebecome our Patron ♡ https://www.patreon.com/BookFixbuy us a book ♡ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/thebookfixBusiness Inquiries: thebookfixpodcast@gmail.comfollow us on Tiktok! ♡  https://www.tiktok.com/@thebookfix

Late Night Horror Episode 3 The Corpse Can't Play

This week, Britte grabbed too much candy again. We have a lot of squishy things going on.We're trying: Gummy Burst Cotton Candy Grapes, Freeze-dried Sweet Tarts, and Fizzy strawberry discs and flamingos. Note: they did not eat the flamingos...Then, Matt has BREAKING NEWS! We have a naked guy roaming our town. The Grafton Streaker. Folks reported to Matt that a guy ran down (more up really) East Main Street of downtown Grafton, WV without a lick of cloth on his body. Just running around in the full breeze. What happens after that I challenge you to believe - he makes it to Ace Hardware way up the hill, where he is -I swear to all the gods we are not kidding- hit by the car of his own mother.The Creeps also talk about squish, that the editor is a child?, cotton candy grape breeds, cherry candy is top tier, housing a two liter of cherry 7-up, starburst preferences, what does Flamingo taste like, and introducing this episode - the Peep-o-meter!

The Richest Corpse in the GraveyardIf you ran out of money, when would it happen? For a growing number of retirees — paid-off home, pension, Social Security, a seven-figure portfolio sitting quietly in the background — the honest answer is probably never. And yet study after study shows this exact group is still the most hesitant to spend a dollar of it.In this episode, David uses a composite family — paid-off home, $3 million invested, pension and Social Security covering nearly all of their monthly expenses — to unpack why disciplined savers keep saving long after saving has stopped being the point, what the research actually says about it, and what to do instead: fund a business start for someone who needs it, launch a scholarship, or hand your grandkid the keys to a car while you're around to watch her drive it away.Why So Many Retirees UnderspendResearch from the Employee Benefit Research Institute found that roughly one-third of retirees still have 100% or more of their original retirement assets remaining by their mid-80s. Married couples 65 and older withdraw, on average, just 2.1% of their portfolio per year — well below the roughly 5% that current research considers a safe withdrawal rate. David calls this FORO — Fear Of Running Out — the retirement version of FOMO, except what you're missing is your own life.The people this happens to aren't reckless with money — they're the most disciplined savers in the room. As advisor Zach Teutsch puts it, "Overspending is risky. But underspending is risky too."David — who holds the CLTC designation alongside his CFP® — also draws a hard line between vague, unfocused fear and one actual, named risk worth planning for: an extended long-term care event. Solve that risk on purpose, and the rest of the portfolio is free to be used.Money That Moves vs. Money That SitsDavid's core mission for the show: how we handle our money should positively impact our lives and the lives of those around us. A growing balance doesn't do that on its own — it only matters once it moves.Fund a business start. More than a quarter of people who've helped fund someone's business gave to a close family member. David's practical note: decide up front whether it's a gift, a loan, or an equity stake, and put it in writing.Start a scholarship. A scholarship is legacy you get to watch unfold now — not legacy that waits for a will to activate.Buy the car, watch them drive it. Cash left invested usually outperforms a depreciating asset financially — but if the goal is connection rather than optimization, watching your grandchild's reaction beats a line item in probate. Give with a warm heart, not a cold hand — it doesn't need a tax deduction to be worth doing.Episode Timestamps0:00 — Cold open: one grandfather, two very different versions of the same gift2:15 — The data: why one-third of retirees barely touch their savings6:30 — Why disciplined savers are the most likely to underspend10:30 — The one legitimate fear worth naming: long-term care13:30 — The mission statement, and why a growing balance isn't the goal14:15 — Funding a family member's business start17:00 — Starting a scholarship while you're alive to see it work19:30 — The car in the driveway, and the tax-deduction question, answered directly23:30 — Permission to spend: why the gap only closes with a real plan27:00 — Wrap-up and next stepsHave You Already Won the Game?If your expenses are mostly covered and your portfolio is quietly growing untouched, you don't need a guess — you need an actual answer.

This week, Kelsey brings us more Oreo's to try and we're never upset about that. We're trying the new limited run Cinnamon Bun flavored variety, and really they should keep this one around too.Then, Kelsey talks about a very recent tragic event occurring in the last month or so. This involves the murder of Sara Gilson(Duff) by Jeremiah Shawn Duffey (a terrible person who also ended himself after), after he was investigated for abusing a minor during basketball that he coached at an elementary school on tribal land, and after she got a Protective order and posted about her horrid ex on her highly followed TikTok.

The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 2 (7.15) Back in Boyle Heights, the nightmare continues after the massive cold-storage warehouse fire — 85 million pounds of rotting food is creating a vile stench, swarms of flies, rodents, a burst water main, and now oppressive humid summer heat on top of it all. They’ve only removed about 1.4 million pounds so far, and Timmy figures it’ll take years to clean up the mess while the EPA starts handing out fines. In much lighter news, longtime KFI board operator and resident sexpert Sam Zia joins Timmy in studio to celebrate his big move to Spain after 25 years with the station — complete with a bag full of dildos and butt plugs (relax, he’s a sex therapist, it checks out!). KTLA reporter Rachel Menitoff stayed ice-cold during a live shot when a giant flying cockroach landed on her head and crawled down her chest — true professional. Two corpse flowers are blooming at the Huntington Library, treating visitors to their signature rotting-flesh stench for 24–48 hours, and Grocery Outlet Bargain Market is expanding across Southern California.

What happens when the most isolated lighthouse in the world becomes a floating prison with a corpse... and what if one of history's strangest duels was fought over flower arrangements? In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro explore two unbelievable tales that prove history is often stranger than fiction. First, journey to the infamous Smalls Lighthouse off the coast of Wales, where lighthouse keeper Thomas Howell found himself trapped for months with the decomposing body of his fellow keeper. Unable to bury the man for fear of being accused of murder, Howell lashed the coffin to the lighthouse railing—only to watch the sea slowly destroy it as storms prevented rescue. It's one of maritime history's most disturbing true stories and the event that forever changed lighthouse staffing around the world. Then, travel to Vienna in 1892, where an aristocratic disagreement over floral arrangements allegedly escalated into one of history's most bizarre confrontations: a topless sword duel between Princess Pauline von Metternich and Countess Anastasia von Kielmansegg. Did two European noblewomen really strip to the waist and settle a decorating dispute with rapiers? Or is the entire affair one of history's most persistent—and entertaining—legends? From haunted seas to scandalous society gossip, this episode is packed with the wonderfully weird stories you've come to expect from The Box of Oddities. In this episode: Smalls Lighthouse, Thomas Howell, Welsh lighthouse tragedy, maritime history, lighthouse keepers, Princess Pauline von Metternich, Countess Anastasia von Kielmansegg, Vienna 1892, historical duels, strange history, bizarre true stories, odd history, folklore, legends, and the wonderfully weird.

WarRoom Battleground EP 1044: BRUTAL: “Birmingham Antifa” Goons Call Harnwell “A Recently Exhumed corpse” In Savage Attack

Today's True Weird Stuff - Revisiting Corpse Medicine - When Doctors Prescribed Human Remains   Before modern medicine, some cures came from the grave. For centuries, Europeans swallowed powdered skull, drank human blood, and consumed ground-up mummies in the belief that the dead could heal the living. It sounds like folklore, but corpse medicine was once accepted as a real treatment for everything from headaches to epilepsy.

When the supernatural seeps into our world, it doesn't just leave behind fear—it can also leave sickness. From shadowy visitors to ominous dreams, some eerie paranormal encounters suggest that the price of witnessing the unknown may be paid in flesh and blood.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/SupernaturalSicknessREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/hp3ua63cFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: When the supernatural intrudes into our lives, it's not just our minds that are affected. We'll delve into a few bizarre cases where individuals fell gravely ill after brushes with the paranormal. Is it coincidence? Or something more sinister? And could these illnesses be due to the paranormal literally draining us of life? (Supernaturally Sick, Paranormally Poisoned) *** Helen Duncan made a living from conducting séances—until her uncanny knowledge of classified World War II tragedies spooked British authorities. (Britain's Last Witch) *** Jeremy Bentham was a philosopher whose ideas about mortality and utility extended beyond death. Bentham's wish for his body to be preserved and displayed as an "auto-icon" – so it could be seen publicly by all. And while his wishes were granted, it came with a few hiccups along the way… mostly with his poor head. (The Strange Story of Mr. Bentham's Corpse) *** Annie Dorman was discovered lifeless with a gunshot wound, sending shockwaves through her tight-knit community. Suicide seemed improbable, leaving detectives baffled and family perplexed. Was it a crime of passion, an accident, murder… or truly suicide? In a similar case, just a few years later, in the serene countryside of Greenwich, New York, the lifeless form of Maggie Hourigan is found, floating in a tranquil pool, speculation runs rampant. Were these cases suicide, as hastily concluded, horrible accidents… or sinister murders?

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: April 17, 2024Weird Darkness gathers five accounts in this episode: people who fell gravely ill within days of a paranormal encounter, two unsolved deaths of young women in the late nineteenth century, a wartime medium jailed for witchcraft, a philosopher who arranged to have his own corpse put on permanent display, and the private oddities of history's most famous figures.It opens with the argument that anemia and anorexia-like wasting can follow a paranormal encounter within hours or days. The Franciscan monk Joseph McCabe, who died in 1955, catalogued dozens of people who developed anemia soon after nighttime visits he blamed on the Mesopotamian demons Lilu and Lilitu. Albert Bender, the Bridgeport, Connecticut man who launched the Men in Black mystery in the early 1950s, endured migraines, stomach pain, memory lapses, and sharp weight loss after three phantom figures ordered him to drop his UFO research, then recovered, married, and lived to 94. In 1982, a fourteen-year-old named Robbie watched a flat black shadow crawl across his bedroom ceiling in Beckenham, Kent, was hospitalized with meningitis, and months later collapsed from acute anemia. Jim Harpur opened his door to two black-eyed children outside Orlando, Florida in March 2008 and was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes three weeks afterward. In Nova Scotia, Michelle came down with severe ulcerative colitis two days after a vivid Slenderman dream in January 2017. The longest case belongs to Alison, a seventeen-year-old in Texas who shed roughly twenty pounds in six weeks in 1998 while a tall, pale Woman in Black appeared at her bedside each night, starting days after she and two friends used a Ouija board; sea salt and sage spread through the house ended the visits, and she recovered.From there, the episode turns to two deaths that juries could not explain. Maggie Hourigan, a 19-year-old servant in Greenwich, New York, was found floating face-down in a roadside pool on October 20, 1889; a first autopsy by Dr. S. Walter Scott ruled drowning and suicide, but a second team found a head wound inflicted before she entered the water, and Dr. Scott later sued the New York Sun for libel over its coverage and won a $6,000 settlement. Eight years later and a state away, 18-year-old Annie Dorman was found shot dead in her half-brother John Dorman's farmhouse near Cobb's Creek, Philadelphia, on September 1, 1897; the rusty pistol that killed her sat unused on a high shelf the five-foot-tall victim could not reach without standing on furniture that had not been moved, it had been fired five times, and the coroner ruled she was shot by a person unknown.Next comes Helen Duncan, the Scottish medium nicknamed Hellish Nell, who produced ectoplasm and channeled spirit guides named Peggy and Albert at séances across wartime Britain. In May 1941 she announced the loss of the H.M.S. Hood before the public knew, and that November she described the sinking of the H.M.S. Barham, which the government withheld until January 1942. Authorities arrested her at a Portsmouth sitting and tried her at London's Old Bailey beginning March 23, 1944 under the 1735 Witchcraft Act; a jury convicted her on April 3, and she became the last person imprisoned under that law, serving her sentence at Holloway Prison while Winston Churchill dismissed the case as obsolete tomfoolery.After that, the episode examines Jeremy Bentham, the English philosopher born in 1748 who asked that his body be dissected, preserved, and displayed as what he called an auto-icon. Dr. Thomas Southwood Smith carried out the dissection three days after Bentham died on June 6, 1832, but his attempt to preserve the head with sulfuric acid and an air pump left it leathery and discolored, so a wax replacement by the French artist Jacques Talrich was fitted to the seated skeleton. The figure went on display at University College London, where students stole the real, shriveled head in 1975 and returned it after the university paid £10 against their £100 charity demand; the head later served as a soccer ball before being moved to a climate-controlled storeroom in 2002.The episode closes with ten eccentric routines of the wealthy and famous. Howard Hughes wore tissue boxes over his feet and wrote a manual instructing employees how to prepare and serve a can of peaches; Nikola Tesla fed pigeons in New York parks and called one white pigeon his muse; Salvador Dalí napped in a chair holding a key over a metal plate so its clatter would wake him; Marlon Brando dropped ice into hot coffee to drink it at once; Queen Elizabeth I whitened her skin with a mix of white lead and vinegar; Andy Warhol ate McDonald's nearly every day for two decades; Benjamin Franklin sat naked by open windows for what he called air baths; Michael Jackson traveled with a pet elephant named Gypsy on his Bad tour; Charles Dickens walked miles through London at night to feed his writing; and Albert Einstein gave up socks because his shoes already covered his feet.

From the Texas Killing Fields and Gilgo Beach to a corpse left decomposing in a hotel water tank and three infants found frozen in a family freezer, these are the notorious dump sites where killers hide their victims — and the strangest places human remains have ever turned up.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/BodyDumpSitesREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yckm2tkwFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Where are bodies dumped most often?

But even after a positive identification, some believed the body was not of the man authorities thought it was – and an even larger mystery was, whose monogrammed handkerchief was stuffed in the corpse's mouth? (The Ruttinger Mystery) *** In Florida, there is a short stretch of freeway that is so full of incidents of danger, death, and the paranormal, that many consider it cursed – and most definitely haunted.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: December 06, 2021Weird Darkness maps the ground where the dead are hidden, traveling from America's most notorious body-dumping fields to a cursed quarter-mile of Florida interstate and a strangled German lace salesman pulled from the Staten Island mud in 1891.It opens with the dump sites scattered across the United States, where unidentified victims are still pulled from soil and water decades after they were left. In the New York Central Pine Barrens of Long Island, as many as eleven bodies have surfaced, four of them between 2000 and 2003 and two decapitated, in killings attributed to the Butcher of Manorville. Lake Tahoe keeps its secrets through physics rather than concealment, its thousand-foot depths holding a near-constant 39 degrees that stops bodies—rumored to date to Mafia disposals in the 1950s—from decomposing enough to float. Sugar planter Edgar Watson terrorized the Florida Everglades in the early 1900s, allegedly killing laborers each harvest to dodge their wages, and in 2016 two alligators were found feeding on a corpse in the same swamp. Leakin Park in Baltimore has given up roughly 70 bodies since 1946, while the Texas Killing Fields along I-45 between Houston and Galveston have yielded 30 since 13-year-old Colette Wilson vanished in 1971—among them Krystal Jean Baker, whose 1986 murder was tied to Kevin Edison Smith by DNA in 2012. Over 100 bodies have come out of the Mojave Desert, sending photographer William Bradford and William Floyd Zamastil to prison, and the still-unidentified Gilgo Beach killer dumped as many as 17 victims along Ocean Parkway, three of them strangled, bagged in burlap, and linked to the Long Island Serial Killer. Pelham Bay Park concealed at least 65 bodies between 1986 and 1995, the East River surrendered 26 in the spring of 2010 alone, and Gary Ridgway, the Green River Killer, confessed to ending at least 49 women's lives.From there the episode turns to bodies found where no one thinks to look. Canadian student Elisa Lam decomposed for as long as 19 days inside a rooftop water cistern at Downtown Los Angeles's Cecil Hotel while guests drank and bathed from the same supply and complained the water tasted off. In Xi'an, China, a woman starved to death trapped in an elevator over the Chinese New Year, her hands mangled from a month of clawing at the doors after workers skipped a required inspection. Elmer McCurdy, killed by police in 1911 after robbing a train of $46 and two jugs of whiskey, was embalmed with arsenic and toured carnivals as a sideshow attraction until a film crew for The Six Million Dollar Man snapped his arm off at a Long Beach amusement park in 1976 and found bone beneath the wax; he was finally buried in Guthrie, Oklahoma, in 1977. A Disneyland Paris worker was electrocuted behind the scenes of the Phantom Manor ride in 2016, a German mother kept three of her infants in freezer wrapping for some 30 years until her grown children uncovered them while digging for frozen pizza, and Joshua Maddox, missing since 2008, was discovered seven years later wedged in the chimney of his parents' Colorado cabin with no sign of injury.Next comes a quarter-mile of Interstate 4 near Lake Monroe, Florida, that locals call the Dead Zone. The asphalt covers four unmarked graves of Dutch immigrants who died in the Yellow Fever epidemic that erased the 1870s settlement of St. Joseph's, graves that landowner Albert Hawkins fenced and protected after stumbling on them in 1905, and which earned a reputation for lightning strikes, house fires, and a fatal hit-and-run befalling anyone who disturbed them. The state promised to relocate the remains before construction but paved over them, and as work began in 1960 Hurricane Donna changed course to follow the road's path; the highway opened in 1963 with a deadly truck crash at that exact spot. Somewhere between 1,500 and 2,000 accidents have clustered along the short stretch since, Hurricane Charley retraced Donna's route over it in 2004, and drivers report their radios filling with growls, children's laughter, and disembodied voices in a place with no nearby transmitters.The episode closes with the 1891 murder of Karl Emanuel Ruttinger, a German lace salesman from Dresden whose body watchman Samuel Mortin found half-floating in the mud below Tottenville, Staten Island, his arms bound behind his back and a linen handkerchief monogrammed "W.W." rammed down his throat with a stick. Suspicion fell on his brother-in-law, William Wright, who had sailed with him from Liverpool and shared his boarding-house room, yet Wright stood only five-foot-four at 120 pounds, far too slight to overpower a six-foot, 200-pound man alone. The trail twisted through a throat-cutting suicide at the Astor House by a man calling himself Fred Evans, a string of conflicting witness identifications, and the discovery that Ruttinger's life had been insured for more than $20,000 just a month before the voyage—raising the possibility that the corpse was not Ruttinger at all. A Tottenville inquest ruled that it was indeed Ruttinger, suffocated by persons unknown, and in 1892 the Equitable Life Assurance Society paid his mother Therese roughly $22,000, conceding privately that settling was cheaper than proving the fraud they suspected.
