In late February of 2024, 46-year-old Samantha Tolbert vanished from Carroll County, Georgia, a rural area in western Georgia, along the Alabama state line. At first, Samantha's absence didn't raise an alarm. She kept in touch with her daughter, but it wasn't unusual for some time to pass between calls. That all changed on March 7, 2024, when deputies from the Carroll County Sheriff's Office responded to a call in Tyus, a small community in Carroll County. There, they discovered Samantha's ex-husband was deceased. What stood out immediately was that the vehicle he had driven to the scene wasn't his; it was Samantha's truck, but she was nowhere to be found.Investigators attempted to contact Samantha because she was the registered owner of the vehicle, but all efforts to reach her were unsuccessful. Friends and family they contacted said they hadn't heard from her either. In that moment, the troubling truth came into focus: not only was Samantha's ex-husband dead, but Samantha herself was missing. Suddenly, two stories collided, one ending in death, the other vanished. With Samantha's ex-husband no longer alive, investigators were left with a haunting mystery: what really happened in those final days, and what secrets did he take with him?If you have any information about the disappearance of Samantha Tolbert, please contact Investigator Amber Cardell with the Carroll County Sheriff's Office at 770-830-5916 or email acardell@carrollsheriffga.gov.If you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In August 2020, 27-year-old Michael Bryson vanished from a camping party deep in Oregon's Umpqua National Forest. The gathering at a place known as “Hobo Camp” was supposed to be a celebration — music, friends, and a 21st birthday. But within days it turned into one of Oregon's most haunting unsolved mysteries.Michael was last seen in the early hours of August 5th, walking away from the party under circumstances that have never made sense. His family has never stopped searching. What happened that night? Why do witness stories conflict? And how could such a massive search turn up nothing?This case highlights a disturbing pattern seen in other disappearances: gatherings in remote locations, delays in reporting, and stories that just don't add up.

This episode examines one of Australia's most enduring aviation mysteries. On October 21, 1978, twenty-year-old pilot Frederick Valentich departed Moorabbin Airport in Melbourne on what should have been a routine flight to King Island.Flying a Cessna 182L across the Bass Strait, he expected an uneventful journey of just over 120 miles. Instead, he vanished. Despite an intensive week-long search covering more than a thousand square miles of sea and coastline, no wreckage or trace of the young pilot was ever found.Valentich was ambitious and deeply committed to flying, having logged 150 hours in the air and aiming to build a professional career in aviation. The Bass Strait was known for its unpredictable waters and history of disappearances, but the conditions that evening were favorable, making his disappearance even more perplexing.The mystery deepens when we revisit Valentich's final moments in the air. According to official records, he reported observing a large, metallic object with bright green lights that hovered and darted in ways no known aircraft could. He described it circling his plane and playing what seemed like a terrifying game. Then came an eerie metallic noise, and silence.Witnesses across Victoria and Tasmania also reported strange lights and objects in the sky that night. From Cape Otway to King Island, independent observers described green glows, metallic craft, and lights descending toward the sea.More than forty years later, the Valentich disappearance remains unsolved, a chilling story that continues to provoke fascination and wonder. https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcastMy book 'Verified Near Death Exeriences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In the northern Alberta town of Slave Lake, the nights in late December are long and unforgiving. On December 28, 2019, 27-year-old Joel Judd was staying with a relative in town. By the end of that evening, he had set out for a night out. By the next morning, he was gone, and no one ever saw or heard from Joel again.That night in Slave Lake, Joel went to a local bar where he spent time with other patrons. As the night wore on, Joel left with a few of them. On their way to one person's home, they stopped at a local inn to purchase alcohol. Joel phoned his uncle and told him he was with a friend. Eventually, the group arrived at the home, where the party continued late into the night. At some point in the early morning hours, according to those present, Joel got up and walked out. No one saw where he went, and he never came back.When Joel failed to return to his uncle's, his family grew concerned and later reported him missing. Investigators traced his steps, using banking records to confirm who he had been with that night, which led them to a house on Whitetail Way, a few miles west of Slave Lake's city limits. Despite extensive searches of the property and the surrounding area, no sign of Joel has ever been found.Nearly six years later, his family is still searching for answers. Why did Joel leave that home in the middle of the night? Did something happen after he stepped outside? Is it even true that he walked out on his own? Or did something occur at that house party that has never been revealed? If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Joel Judd, please contact Slave Lake RCMP at 780-849-3045 and reference case#202015563. You may also contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or submit a tip online at https://www.canadiancrimestoppers.org/submit-a-tip/submit-a-tip.If you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Tara Grinstead disappeared from her house in October 2005. The investigation led authorities to various suspects over the years, but sadly, Tara's case went ice cold. Then in 2016, a budding filmmaker (Payne Lindsey) decided to investigate the case in season 1 of his true crime podcast, Up and Vanished. The podcast was a hit and by early 2017, GBI released a statement, they had made an arrest in Tara Grinstead's case. 10 days later, another arrest. The alleged perpetrators? Ryan Duke and Bo Dukes - no relationship to each other, despite the similar last names. After the two men confessed to their part in Tara's disappearance, the case seemed pretty cut and dry, until one of the men took the stand in his own defense and flipped the script. Dig in with Margot as she tells you this most bizarre case that although solved, will leave you asking, Who Killed Tara Grinstead? ⸻

Some ghost stories feel like fragments — brief glimpses of the afterlife that vanish before you can make sense of them. But what happens when the dead not only show themselves, but intervene to protect the living? One caller recalls sitting in a mall food court when a mysterious woman in a white graduation gown appeared — smiling, waving, radiant. She seemed so real that even family members acknowledged her. But the moment a grandmother turned to look, the woman was gone. Was it the spirit of a lost aunt, trying to connect from beyond? Years later, the encounters grew darker. A cold, phantom hand pressed against the back of the caller's neck — through layers of scarf and coat — when no one nearby could have touched them. Then came the most chilling moment: driving to the library with their sister, when she suddenly begged them to pull over. She insisted their deceased grandmother was speaking to her, warning them of danger. Seconds later, sirens filled the air as they watched a horrific accident unfold at the very intersection they had been heading toward. The haunting didn't end there. The car they drove once belonged to their grandmother — and the sister admitted she sometimes heard her voice while riding inside. Was the vehicle itself carrying her presence, or was it something far more personal, a bond of protection between grandmother and grandchildren? From food court apparitions to life-saving spectral warnings, this story shows that some spirits don't just linger — they guide, they guard, and sometimes, they save. #LadyInWhite #HauntedCar #TrueGhostStory #ParanormalWarning #GrandmasGhost #RealHaunting #FoodCourtGhost #GhostlyPremonition #SpiritsProtecting #RealGhostStoriesOnline Love real ghost stories?

Tonight's episode stitches together a strange patchwork of small-town weirdness — submitted by a listener who grew up collecting odd moments that never quite fit any single explanation. It begins at a high-school sleepover, where a sophomore exploring dark third-floor hallways hears a single, echoing female hum coming from the girls' bathroom. The hum terrifies half the students and later connects — in rumor and research — to an old fire and stories of a missing girl. From there the caller moves through childhood hauntings: a clown-like giggle in an empty apartment, the eerie creak of classrooms that feel “watched,” and the creep of energy in an old school that feels older than its bricks. The episode pivots into the uncanny: while exploring a demolition site, two kids watch a slow, three-light object hang over them, then flicker like liquid and streak away — a sighting that one friend later denies remembering. The show's centerpiece is the strangest claim: during a thunderstorm, the world went translucent — pink-purple and glassy — long enough for the listener and a sibling to zoom mentally through rooms and see anatomy-level detail. Is this an electrical/sensory phenomenon from a nearby lightning strike? A shared epileptic/neurological event? An actual crossing between layers of reality? We do the only thing we can: we tell the story, compare listener theories (residual hauntings, mass suggestion, NDE-like imagery, or electromagnetic effects), and let you decide. #RealGhostStories #HauntedSchool #UFOsighting #ElectromagneticPhenomena #ChildhoodHauntings #ParanormalPodcast #WeirdButTrue #ResidualHaunting #TrueStories #GhostConfessions Love real ghost stories?

In northern Alberta, long roads cut through forest and farmland, connecting small, close-knit communities. It was along these highways in the summer of 2016 that 43-year-old Conrad Jason Ducharme, known to family and friends simply as Jason, was last seen.Jason was believed to be traveling on foot to Dixonville for a tent meeting. He made it there and was later spotted in Manning. But after that, his trail went cold. Known for walking long distances and sometimes catching rides, Jason often stayed with friends or relatives scattered along his route. At first, his family assumed he was with someone else. Only later did they realize no one had seen him, and by then, his trail was already fading.What alarmed them most was that Jason missed his son's birthday at the end of July, something completely out of character. Nearly a decade later, no trace of Jason has ever been found. His family continues to hold onto hope that answers may still come, and that by sharing Jason's story, someone who remembers something might step forward.If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Conrad Jason Ducharme, please contact the Manning RCMP at 780-836-3769 and reference case#: 2016-1416531.
