A late-night party. A walk across a frozen lake bridge. And then—nothing. When Josh Guimond vanished without a trace, it tore open buried fears and unanswered questions.Josh was a brilliant junior at Saint John's University—a proud scholar and someone with a spark of political ambition. On November 9, 2002, after a party on campus, he headed back across a bridge over Stumpf Lake and simply disappeared. Despite exhaustive searches, digital evidence emerging years later, and renewed attention from Unsolved Mysteries and the Simply Vanished podcast, answers remain elusive. In this true crime with a queer perspective episode, host Jordi and Brad explore the intersection of identity, secrecy, and how a young man's hidden online life may hold the key to an unsolved LGBTQ+ mystery.Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers toasts to queer stories, chilling puzzles, and untold injustices—one cold one at a time. Press play, crack open a beer, and help us shine a light on the coldest corners of queer history.

What if the fabric of our world isn't a sealed container, but a fragile web—pocked with rips, folds, and doorways into somewhere… else? Across the globe, witnesses have described stepping into spaces where the air thickens, time bends, and impossible entities appear without warning. These moments, fleeting yet unforgettable, hint at the existence of portals—dimensional gateways linking our reality to hidden realms.In this episode of Phantoms & Monsters Radio, we'll delve into chilling, first-hand encounters that challenge the boundaries of belief: a California farm stalked by a colossal biped, a Montana experiencer targeted by robotic and extra-dimensional visitors, a Wisconsin home where robed figures rose from a glowing floor, a San Jose cemetery visit interrupted by a diving bat-like humanoid, and a Texas rally where a woman vanished from a locked porta-potty without a trace. Each account forces us to confront the possibility that our perception of reality is incomplete.These reports come from diverse times and places—orchards, cemeteries, forest trails, quiet homes—but share unsettling similarities: sudden appearances and vanishings, bilocation, objects re-materializing from nowhere, and encounters with entities that defy classification. Are these random anomalies, or the signs of persistent and intentional portals? Could they be natural phenomena, hidden technologies, or constructs of an interdimensional intelligence?From subtle shifts in time to face-to-face meetings with beings that seem part human, part machine, tonight we follow the trails left by witnesses who have stumbled too close to the edges of our dimension. As we look over these extraordinary accounts, we'd like to ask you to consider a question: if portals exist all around us, what might be waiting on the other side?

To others such as the Europeans and Americans, it is seen as something scary. And of course horror films see it as the flying form of Bela Lugosi.

These people died, were sent to hell, then returned to the living with terrifying accounts of demons, unbearable heat, and torments so horrific that their warnings about the afterlife might cause you to change your ways.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateTake the WEIRD DARKNESS LISTENER SURVEY and help mold the future of the podcast: https://weirddarkness.com/surveyIN THIS EPISODE: What is it truly like in hell? Of course the only way to find out is to die – and that's a bit extreme if you are just simply curious about the subject. Especially if you find yourself on the wrong side of the faith issue and have to spend an eternity in the “bad place”. But there are some who have reached the edge of life, teetering on the precipice of death, and believe they have experienced the fires of hell, and they were somehow able to return to tell us of their experience. (To Hell and Back) *** Most people are already familiar with the story of the ghost of Abraham Lincoln in the White House, but he is not lonely, not by far. There are many who have claimed to have seen, heard, and even felt ghosts while in the White House… even in the Oval Office itself.

In June 2024, a woman in Columbia, Maryland, took her dogs out for a routine late-night walk—only to find herself locking eyes with an 8-foot-tall, white-furred entity lurking at the edge of a powerline field. It didn't growl. It didn't charge. She just watched. When she retreated into her apartment and locked the door, the knob rattled seconds later. A silent message was delivered: You are not alone. That same month, new reports have surfaced from Alabama, West Virginia, Oregon, and North Carolina—dozens of them—each describing eerily similar encounters with upright, canine-like beings.Are we truly facing a rise in cryptid canine activity? Or are we simply becoming more aware—more connected—through the digital lens of our curiosity and fear? In tonight's presentation, we'll explore the possibility that something fundamental is happening… but also ask the more complex questions. Are we witnessing a surge of actual phenomena—or a modern myth evolving in real time?Let's begin by walking the timeline: From historic Rougarou tales whispered in Louisiana's swamps, to the snarling beast that shattered a kitchen door in Clarksville, Maryland, to a man in Oregon who swears a creature watched him release a mouse into the woods before vanishing into the trees. These accounts span generations and geography—but now, they're being shared faster, louder, and more often than ever. Could social media, Reddit threads, YouTube videos, and even AI-generated visuals be shaping our perception? Could the so-called "Digital Dogman" be a modern folklore fed by virality, deepfakes, and algorithmic belief bubbles?At the same time, there are real-world shifts that can't be ignored. Wildlife habitats are shrinking. Climate extremes are forcing animals into new territories. The post-pandemic boom in hiking, camping, and rural living has driven humans into areas we once left alone. More people may be simply encountering what's always been there—or misinterpreting what they want to believe is there. And let's not forget the psychological factors: heightened global anxiety, uncertainty, and our deep-rooted tendency to anthropomorphize shadows in the dark.Still, we can't dismiss the sincerity of the people coming forward. Whether it's a mistake, a trick of the light, or something we haven't yet classified—what matters is that witnesses are being shaken to their core. And that demands our attention. So tonight, we look at it all: the genuine reports, the hoaxes, the social media influence, the science, the speculation—and the enduring mystery. Stay with me. And if you've seen something you can't explain, I want to hear from you.

Holmes, Richard Ramirez, and Gary Ridgeway. But what happens when the serial killer hasn't even reached adolescence? We'll look at some chilling murders that were carried out by children, which will change the way you look at youthful adolescents from now on. (Killer Kids) *** Are there traits you can look for in a child that might indicate if they will become a killer later in life? We'll look at three traits believed to be indicators. (Predicting a Killer) *** You can teach a dog to roll over and fetch. You can teach a cat to use the toilet. Lions and tigers have been trained to jump through hoops of fire to thrill spectators at circuses worldwide. And even a gorilla has been taught some basic sign language. But would you believe there was once a horse that could do arithmetic? (The Horse Who Could Do Math) *** William Stead was a newspaper editor and journalist in the 1890s. His beat wasn't the fashion scene or stock market, nor was it the arts district or even politics. He covered the paranormal. And it wasn't hard to come up with stories, because all he had to do was to call up someone from the underworld for an exclusive interview. (Words From Beyond The Grave) *** If you move into an old house, it always feels awkward at first. After a while though, it begins to feel like home. For some people, if the house is a bit older, perhaps that odd feeling of being watched never really goes away. But if your house was built 270 years ago, you probably should just assume you've got a spook or two already residing there before you sign the mortgage.

July 22, 1989. Peoria, Arizona. Rob Page, the husband of 32-year old Pam Page, claims that she disappears from their home and leaves behind a letter revealing that she ran off with another woman named “Sarah”. Rob also says that Pam took one of their dogs with her, along with most of her personal possessions and $60,000 in cash that she was keeping inside the safe of the video store she owned. However, Rob does not immediately report Pam missing to the police and constantly changes his story about what happened and it is soon discovered that Rob typed up the letter himself and forged Pam's signature on it. Investigators are also unable to confirm that this mysterious “Sarah” actually existed, but while there is suspicion directed towards Rob, there is not enough evidence to charge him with anything and no trace of Pam is ever found. On this week's episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explore a controversial spousal disappearance which was featured on “Unsolved Mysteries”. If you have any information about this case, please contact the Peoria Police Department Criminal Investigations Bureau at (623) 773-7097.

When Massachusetts housewife Betty Andreasson watched five grey beings walk through her solid kitchen walls in 1967, it would unlock decades of suppressed memories revealing a lifetime of alien encounters that began when she was just seven years old.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateTake the WEIRD DARKNESS LISTENER SURVEY and help mold the future of the podcast: https://weirddarkness.com/surveyIN THIS EPISODE: In March of 2000, a New South Wales mother did the unthinkable: and twenty-three years later the first officer on the scene shares what he encountered; and it is extremely disturbing. We'll look inside the mind of the sadistic murderess, Katherine Knight. (Katherine Knight: Cannibal Killer) *** Image is everything, as they say – and nowadays it seems the perfect image is to either have all of the right curves in all of the right places – or to be stick thin. But imagine being so thin that you could pass for a living skeleton. Such was the life of Claude Ambroise Seurat. (The Living Skeleton) *** Essie Dunbar was 30 years old when she had an epileptic seizure that left her doctor certain she was dead. However, when her sister arrived at her funeral and asked to see her one last time, the story goes that Dunbar sat right up inside her coffin. (The Premature Burial of Essie Dunbar) *** Did King Solomon possess a magical ring – given to him directly from heaven – with which he could control Astaroth, a Prince of Hell?  (The Ring That Could Control Demons) *** Two men are recovering after surgery in their hospital beds in two different hospitals, two years apart – one in 2017 and the other in 2019. Both men suddenly disappear from their beds without a trace – until later, when both men are found dead, in the ceiling of their respective hospitals. Two different men. Two different hospitals. Two years apart. Both disappear and are later found in the hospital ceilings. What happened? (The Bodies In The Ceiling) *** But first… although not the first high-profile claim of alien abduction, the extraordinary case of Betty Andreasson is considered by many to be one of the most important and unique. Not least because the incidents stretch over several decades and share details with many other cases over the years. We begin with that story.

Holmes allegedly killed as many as 200 people by luring visitors to his lair during the Chicago World's Fair in 1893. The 100 rooms of the house he built, were filled with trapdoors, gas chambers, staircases to nowhere, and a human-sized stove. But now, some historians say many of the gruesome stories about Doctor Holmes may be myth! (The Doctor And His Murder Castle) *** Michael Swango was an MD. He was a doctor. But the MD after his name could just as easily have represented “Master of Death”, or “Many Dead” - because there were. Up to sixty of his patients died by his own hands before he was stopped.

It is simply the crime of a vile-tempered bilious wretch, far too many of whose like are still at large, perpetuated not only on a victim who had more case to feel aggrieved at them than he at her, but perpetuated with every suggestion of premeditation.” Why did William Sindram murder Catherine Crave?

When UFO researcher Budd Hopkins discovered three women who experienced eerily similar fake job interviews before their alien abductions, he uncovered a disturbing pattern that suggested something far more calculated than random encounters.IN THIS EPISODE: Three alien abductees investigated by the late Budd Hopkins are intriguing, not so much for the abductions themselves, but of a seemingly trivial detail involving bizarre interview scenarios that each woman experienced. As Hopkins investigated these curious setups further, he arrived at the conclusion that they are seemingly another layer of the alien abduction phenomena. Of particular concern is the notion that these truly strange encounters are suggestive of an end goal of a hybridization program being directly connected to alien abductions. And that the people themselves were actually alien-human hybrids, carrying some part of the mission to this concerning agenda. Of course, what the end goal of this alien-human hybridization program might be is another topic of debate. Are aliens looking to invade Earth discreetly without us even being aware of it? Or might they simply leave and venture elsewhere once their program's goals have been achieved? Tonight we'll look at the strange case of the multiple-abductions of one woman, and testimonies of other abductees who, while abducted, were manipulated somehow to believe that what they were seeing was ordinary people, items, and buildings - as opposed to the possibly grotesque and horrifying reality that was truly in front of them at the time. Was it done through mind control? Alien implants?
