Every second Monday at midnight, a blood-faced ghost walks the ruins of Rollesby Hall — but whose blood stains his face, and whose death keeps him there, depends on who you ask.*No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast*IN THIS EPISODE: One of the most intriguing Hopi legends involves the ant people, who were crucial to the Hopi's survival, not just once, but twice. We know this from the cave drawings they left behind. But who or what exactly were the ant people? (The Ant People and the Anunnaki) *** The red-faced ghost of Rollesby comes with an an identity crisis. People aren't sure if the bloody face they see is the ghost of a murderer - or a victim of murder. (The Red-Faced Ghost of Rollesby) *** A woman is scared senseless when someone visits her home during a rainstorm… but it's not just any passerby. (The Faceless Girl In The Striped Dress) *** One thing people just cannot seem to resist is a challenge – doubly so if you happen to be of the criminal persuasion. If they're told a place is impregnable, it makes it an almost irresistible challenge. (Never Say Your Place Is Impregnable) *** Joachim Kroll, the "Ruhr Cannibal," terrorized West Germany for over 20 years, eating the flesh of his victims because "meat was expensive." (The Duisburg Man Eater) *** It is said that the Vatican is holding manuscripts that hold details about ancient races of man that used to populate the Americas – powerful rulers from the south, described as having white beards, and red eyes. Who could these people have been – and where have they gone? (The Mystery of the Ancient White-Bearded Red-Eyed Rulers) *** We all know the Nazis inflicted terror and death upon innocent people during WWII – but many don't know just how horrifying the treatment was, particular the experiments they conducted on living prisoners.

For two years, a knife-wielding predator terrorized the women of London — but when authorities finally made an arrest, the evidence was shakier than anyone wanted to admit. "The Monster" terrorized fashionable women by slashing their clothing and flesh, leading to a sensational manhunt that captured a suspect – but was he really the culprit?*No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast*IN THIS EPISODE: In March 1788 Maria Smythe was attacked by a stranger who uttered some foul words, stabbed her, then ran. She survived, but was only the first of more than fifty women to suffer the same in London. This wasn't Jack The Ripper – he wouldn't come along for another 100 years. This was the Monster of London. (The Monster of London) *** On his first day walking to the bus stop alone before school, Etan Patz was abducted – and became one of the first children whose face ended up on a milk carton. (The Boy On The Milk Carton) *** If you are left-handed, you might be offended by one of the stories I have in this episode. But then, you lefties are all sinister anyway, right? (The Sinister Left-Handers) *** In 1827, young Maria Marten slipped into a red barn to meet her secret lover. It was the last time she would be seen alive. (The Red Barn Murder) *** It sounds like the makings of a paranormal slasher film – a woman is followed home one day by a paranormal entity – an entity that is angry because it used to be a human that was murdered. (The Haunting of Leah Lewis) *** Imagine your business is failing and you need to drum up customers, so you hire a consultant. “No problem,” he says. “All I need is a few things to get started… do you happen to have have any problems chopping off your closest living relative's hand?” Welcome to Muti magic that some say still takes place even today. (Murderous Muti Magic) *** Edward Howard Bell was a murderer on the run and evaded capture for close to twenty years. When finally captured, authorities found out they didn't just have a murderer… but a serial killer, who he claims had sent eleven young girls to heaven.

In 1903, two hunters tracking moose through the frozen Yukon wilderness stumbled upon a massive furrow in the mud — thirty feet long, flanked by clawed footprints the size of a man — and followed the trail straight to something that shouldn't exist. What a French traveler, a gold prospector, and a Jesuit priest would witness clambering out of a remote Arctic ravine defies every assumption about what still roams the Canadian wild.*No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast*IN THIS EPISODE: Is it possible that dinosaurs lived recently? Like, in the 1900s? Even more bizarre… could they have been living in the 20th century in, of all places, the Arctic Circle? (The Monster of Partridge Creek) *** On May 3, 1881, Mena Muller and Louis Kettler took the ferry from New York City to Hoboken, New Jersey. They were going to be married in Hoboken, although they each had a spouse already. The legality of the marriage did not concern them; they were returning to Germany and would start a new life there. But somehow their plans went awry; that night Louis Kettler returned to New York alone and ten days later Mena Muller's body was found in New Jersey with a fractured skull. (The Guttenberg Murder) *** Timothy Trespas lives in his home in Brooklyn. And I do mean in his home – as he rarely leaves the house, because he feels he is being stalked everywhere he goes by gangs of individuals. And he's not the only one. (Gang Stalking Paranoia) *** They say walking is good for you… but that depends on where you walk, when you walk, and who you bump into, as one person found out late one night just trying to alleviate the boredom. (The Smiling Man) *** We've all slept in longer than we planned. What's the longest you ever slept in? Three hours? Thirteen hours? Did you ever sleep three days straight? I think I see maybe two hands raised out there. You two are amateurs. One man slept 300 days out of the year. (Never Enough Sleep) *** A man had several unexplained incidents while hiking in a German forest. Shaken by the events, he eventually encounters a man with bright green eyes.

Deep within Navajo culture lives a creature that was once human — a witch who murdered their own family to gain the power to shapeshift, possess the living, and control the dead.*No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast*IN THIS EPISODE: The Navajo believe there are places where the powers of both good and evil are present and that those powers can be harnessed for either. And the masters of these powers are the skinwalkers. (Skinwalking Witches) *** If you hear the words “murder” and “London” you immediately think of Jack the Ripper – but he is only one of many brutal murderers who prowled the foggy city looking for victims. We'll look at some of the most gruesome in London's history. (Murderous London) *** Since it was built in 1981, the Sunshine Skyway Bridge connecting St. Petersburg to Tampa, Florida has been a harbinger of tragedy. The four-mile-long bridge rises like a mastodon 430 feet into the bright sunlight. On or around the bridge, there have been hundreds of suicides, as well as deadly shipwrecks. And in 2016, there was the heinous murder of a child let down by the very system designed to protect her. (The Bridge to Tragedy) *** You've probably seen a street artist in person or on video appearing to defy gravity – floating as in mid-air, hoping you'll give them some of your pocket change. And of course you've seen magicians levitate the beautiful assistant, or levitate themselves. But then there are those who say they can do it for real – no trickery involved. Some are laughable, but others make you wonder.

The rifle sat in a fourteen-year-old's bedroom beside photos of Parkland shooter Nikolas Cruz—which Colin Gray claimed he mistook for "the guy from Green Day."Weeks before the shooting, Colt texted Colin Gray: "Whenever something happens just know the blood is on your hands." Colin Gray convinced himself it was about something else. The morning of September 4th, Colt sent goodbye texts. Colin Gray read them, asked what was wrong, and stayed at work. Nineteen minutes later, four people were dead.Colin Gray guilty was confirmed by his own family. His daughter testified Colin Gray asked her to lie to investigators. His wife said she begged Colin Gray to lock up the guns. Colin Gray took the stand alone, cried, and swore he never saw it coming. The jury rejected every word—Colin Gray guilty on all charges in under two hours.Colin Gray guilty sends a clear message. Crumbleys got manslaughter. Colin Gray guilty of murder raises the stakes. Parental accountability just became very real.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

There are cases that make people question everything they thought they knew about how justice works — and then there are cases like these. The names Brendan Dassey and Kimberly Long have been argued over in courtrooms, in living rooms, and in comment sections for years, by people who cannot let go of the nagging sense that something went terribly wrong. And wrapped around both of their stories is a question that researchers, attorneys, and psychologists have spent decades trying to answer — one that sounds simple until you really sit with it.*No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast*Take the Weird Darkness Survey: https://take.supersurvey.com/QGZCRXPVSIN THIS EPISODE: In 2007, a sixteen-year-old boy was tried and convicted as an adult for the assault and murder of a woman in Wisconsin. But is it possible that Brendan Dassey isn't guilty as we were all led to believe? (Is Brendan Dassey Innocent?) *** After a night of bar-hopping, Ozzy Conde and girlfriend Kimberly Long got into an argument that ended up with Ozzy laying on the floor – dead. Kimberly was sent to prison. At least that's the story the prosectors told. But Kimberly fought for years to try and convince people she was not a murderer. But was she? (Kimberly's Long Struggle to Prove Her Innocence) *** The idea of someone breaking down and confessing to police that they committed a crime – when in actuality they did not do it – seems ludicrous to us. But it happens all the time. Why on earth would someone ever do such a thing? We'll look a bit closer at how it happens.

In this powerful and deeply human conversation, Michael Rearden sits down with John Miles to explore the transformative concept of mattering, why feeling seen, valued, and emotionally connected is essential to our well-being, especially for children.John shares insights from his work and writing on how parental presence, kindness, and intentional connection shape a child's sense of self-worth and emotional resilience. Together, they discuss how modern societal pressures, education systems, and cultural expectations impact mental health and why measuring impact over output leads to a more fulfilling life.This episode is a reminder that mattering is relational, contagious, and begins with small, intentional actions. When people feel like they matter, everything changes families, leadership, communities, and the next generation.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy mattering is foundational to emotional and mental well-beingHow children develop (or lose) a sense of self-worthThe role parents play in helping kids feel seen and valuedHow kindness creates a ripple effect in everyday lifeWhy impact matters more than productivityHow cultural and educational systems influence belongingPractical ways to live and lead with intentionHow small gestures can create lasting changeKey Takeaways✅ Mattering is essential for emotional and mental well-being✅ Children today face unique social and emotional challenges✅ Parental presence shapes a child's sense of worth✅ Cultural differences affect how people experience mattering✅ Kindness creates ripple effects beyond what we see✅ Measuring impact, not output, leads to fulfillment✅ Mattering requires connection and reciprocity✅ Education systems influence self-worth✅ Everyone has the power to make a difference✅ Small actions often create the biggest impact

In 2016, in Rochester, New York, Laura and Craig Rideout were going through a bitter divorce that pitted the couple's seven children against their father. When Craig's body was found in the woods just hours after his disappearance, suspicion quickly fell on Laura and her boyfriend, Paul “PJ” Tucci. But as the story unfolded, it revealed a shocking betrayal of a loving father by his own family.Today's snack: Utz Original, Kettle and Crab chips (thanks Amy and Doug!)Support us on PatreonSourceshttps://www.peacocktv.com/watch/playback/vod/GMO_00000000334998_01/c667c682-6fe3-39b6-a974-a355b8ddba64?orig_ref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F Dateline The Devil's Bathtub Season 25, Episode 48https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/2017/08/13/surveillance-videos-show-tucci-rideouts-hours-before-murder/539677001/ surveillance footage from Walmarthttps://medium.com/@deborahhalber/the-untidy-murder-of-craig-rideout-275506da6cedhttps://www.reddit.com/r/UnresolvedMysteries/comments/mz2vix/craig_rideout_casedevils_bathtub_did_pj_get_away/ good write-up on Reddithttps://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/2018/07/19/craig-rideout-murder-anniversary-paul-tucci-laura-colin-alex-where-they-now/778756002/ pictureshttps://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/2018/07/19/craig-rideout-murder-anniversary-paul-tucci-laura-colin-alex-where-they-now/778756002/?gnt-cfr=1&gca-cat=p&gca-uir=true&gca-epti=z114741v114741d--52--b--52--&gca-ft=150&gca-ds=sophihttps://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/2017/09/23/craig-rideout-murder-what-nbc-dateline-didnt-tell-you-about-case/676837001/https://13wham.com/news/local/new-evidence-the-rideout-jury-never-heardhttps://www.whec.com/archive/an-in-depth-look-at-the-rideout-family/https://www.whec.com/archive/laura-rideout-appeal-for-new-trial-denied/https://www.whec.com/archive/in-depth-colin-rideout-claims-his-mother-let-him-take-the-fall/https://www.whec.com/archive/in-depth-the-colin-rideout-interview/https://thecinemaholic.com/where-are-laura-colin-and-alexander-rideout-now/https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/2017/10/04/paul-tucci-wife-death-liver-disease-rideout-murder-case/731153001/https://www.wxxinews.org/local-news/2016-12-02/four-indicted-in-the-death-of-craig-rideout-including-family-membershttps://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3709125/Mom-sons-accused-cleaning-blood-slaying-victims-home.htmlhttps://www.whec.com/archive/an-in-depth-look-at-the-rideout-family/https://www.newspapers.com/image/721723185/?match=1&terms=craig%20rideouthttps://source.colostate.edu/parental-alienation-means-matters/#:~:text=Parental%20alienation%20is%20when%20one%20parent%20intentionally,ends%20or%20when%20they%20are%20still%20together 

When scientist Edward Bloom demonstrated humanity's first anti-gravity device to the world, a single billiard ball punched through his chest at the speed of light — and the only question that remains is whether the man who aimed it knew exactly what would happen.*No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast*Take the Weird Darkness Survey: https://take.supersurvey.com/QGZCRXPVSIN THIS EPISODE: “The Billiard Ball” is a science fiction murder mystery short story by author Isaac Asimov, written in September 1966 and first published in the March 1967 issue of “If”. The story is based on a journalist's tale on the events that occurred when an antigravity device was discovered. The story describes the relationship between the creator of the device, billionaire inventor Edward Bloom, and his old college friend James Priss, a Nobel Prize-winning theoretical physicist who discovered the theory on which Bloom's invention is based.

A mysterious figure in a wide-brimmed hat and trench coat has been appearing in bedrooms across the world for centuries — and scientists are uncovering disturbing patterns in who sees him and why.*No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast*Take the Weird Darkness Survey: https://take.supersurvey.com/QGZCRXPVSIN THIS EPISODE: Thousands of people across dozens of countries have reported waking paralyzed in the night, staring at the same featureless figure in a wide-brimmed hat standing in the corner of their room. The trail of documented evidence behind who he is — and where he came from — runs through classified government files, unexplained refugee deaths, and a common allergy medication sold at every pharmacy in America. (The Hat Man: Why Thousands See The Same Ominous Figure In Their Bedrooms) *** Scientists are strapping heart rate monitors on haunted house visitors, equipping them with skin conductance sensors, and running them through chainsaw-wielding pig-men in abandoned factories — and what they're finding about why humans deliberately seek out terror is reshaping how we understand fear, anxiety, therapy, and the human brain itself.

Between 1081 and 1903, roughly 20 Japanese Buddhist monks voluntarily endured a grueling three-year process of starvation and isolation — sealing themselves alive inside stone tombs in pursuit of becoming Buddha in their own bodies.*No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast*Take the Weird Darkness Survey: https://take.supersurvey.com/QGZCRXPVSIN THIS EPISODE: One of the greatest monsters ever to be brought to the screen was The Mummy, portrayed by Boris Karloff. We have, of course, seen numerous recreations of the creature since the original Universal film, but still, the image is grotesque and frightening no matter the incarnation. To see a mummy in real-life is that much more shocking. But real fear… real terror… would be if you yourself were to be mummified… while still alive. (To Be Mummified Alive) *** In the days that followed the rescue of 11-year-old Terry Jo Duperrault from the wreckage of the yacht called the Bluebelle, it would became clear that a storm hadn't destroyed the ship, as the previously-rescued captain, Julian A. Harvey, had said earlier. A storm hadn't killed everyone aboard… Harvey himself had. (The Final Voyage of the Bluebelle) *** When a loved one passes away, we sometimes wish we could speak to them one last time. Some people report they received phone calls or voicemails they believe are from their deceased loved ones. Sometimes they come through as eerie otherworldly static, while other times the ghostly caller is able to communicate one last message. We'll share a few true stories from people who have received phone calls from the beyond. (Phone Calls From Beyond The Grave) *** If you buy a furnished home and move the furniture to clean the floor – and the furniture moves back on its own – you can be pretty sure you've just moved into a haunted house.
