Podcasts about Vanished

It was Christmas Day 2017 when 35-year-old David Horn Jr. vanished from Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania. At the time, Dave was living alone just around the corner in Trainer. That evening, the Philadelphia Eagles were set to play the Las Vegas Raiders. Dave had been born and raised in the Philadelphia area and was a devoted Eagles fan. Spending a holiday night at a neighborhood pub to watch the game would not have been unusual for him. What was unusual was that as other fans were filing in to settle down for the Christmas night game, Dave walked out of the bar. No one ever saw or heard from him again.Dave had plans to leave for a trip to Las Vegas right after the holiday, so when he went quiet, friends and family assumed he was already there. But in early January, Dave's father went to check on him and found an unsettling scene. Dave's truck was still parked outside. Inside, the lights and TV were on, and his belongings appeared untouched. Even the plane tickets for his upcoming trip were sitting out in plain view. Then his father noticed the basement door had a broken window with what looked like blood on it.By then, precious days had already passed. As his family retraced his steps, they confirmed that the last known sighting of Dave was at the pub in Marcus Hook. They learned he had ordered an Uber that evening, but the ride was canceled. After that moment, his trail went cold. Nearly eight years later, Dave's loved ones are still searching for answers about what happened that Christmas night and why he never made it home.If you have any information about the disappearance of David Horn Jr., please contact the Trainer Borough Police Department at (610) 494-7399.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.

Hollywood has no shortage of scandals and tragedies, but some of the most haunting cases involve celebrities who simply vanished without a trace, leaving behind nothing but mysterious clues and unanswered questions.IN THIS EPISODE: Showbiz is full of not just celebrities, but also of crime and murder. But even stranger are those cases where someone famous simply disappears without a trace, and without an explanation. *** North Carolina's Great Dismal Swamp is full of horror stories – but the worst might be the fact that the swamp appears to swallow people alive. (Swallowed Alive In Great Dismal Swamp) *** A weeping man called the police to tearfully apologize for murdering his victims… but that didn't stop him from continuing to kill again and again. (The Weepy Voiced Killer) *** In Hindu culture, it is believed if certain post-death rituals are not conducted on those who have passed away, the deceased's family would not prosper and there would be misfortunes aplenty. One family in Bhutan had to learn that the hard way. (The Stoning Ghost of Sombek) *** An apparent incident involving a “gigantic cigar-shaped UFO” somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean in May 1963 wasn't reported for almost 20 years, when a witness to the event finally came forward through a written letter of the incident. (The Atlantic UFO of 1963) *** In a beautiful little town in North Wales, children ran through the graveyard, searching for little men with big eyes and long ears. They were searching for strange fairy folk – the ‘brownies' of Bangor. (The Brownies of Bangor) *** Serial killer Ed Gein was caught and arrested for his crimes in November of 1957 – but that didn't mean Gein's neighbors would see the end of his influence on their lives. (Selling Ed Gein) *** Four people take a trip to France and stay at hotel that appeared too good to be true – because it was.

We head to South Africa to start this week.  Two South African men vanished from separate hospitals in recent years - only to be discovered days later, their bodies found in the strangest of places. Official explanations have never added up. Were they murdered? And if so… was their murderer human? Or something else entirely?  Then we'll head to England, where, perched high above the sea on the island's northeast coast, the ruins of Whitby Abbey have stood for nearly fourteen centuries - silent, watching, and supposedly haunted.Then,  a Veteran shares with us his tale of something from the other side reaching out and grabbing him. Who did this soldier show up with as he was not alone. Lastly, a young girl moves in a new home that she immediately hates. What lives there and why does it hate her so much? Do you want to get all of our episodes a WEEK early, ad free? Want to help us support amazing charities? Join us on Patreon!Want to be a Patron?

Today we examine the unusual phenomena associated with the Alaska Triangle, a remote region known for a disproportionately high number of unsolved disappearances and paranormal sightings. The NaturalNews.com article focuses on the staggering count of over 20,000 missing persons in the past 50 years, connecting the area to UFO sightings and alleged cryptid creatures like Bigfoot and the Wendigo, while also mentioning theories involving military testing and magnetic anomalies. The HISTORY video transcript echoes these facts, noting that over 16,000 people have vanished since 1988 and discussing both the challenging Alaskan terrain and supernatural explanations, such as local monster folklore like the Montiak and theories about geological anomalies creating inter-dimensional portals. Ultimately, both sources suggest that while the environment is rugged, the sheer scale of the disappearances leads many to believe something extraordinary or mysterious is occurring. Join us as we discuss The Alaska Triangle, 20,000 Vanished!

Last week, you learned about Heather Caras' life, her disappearance, and the trail of confusion that followed. On January 24, 2025, Heather had planned to take her younger son on a special outing after a minor disagreement the night before. According to him, that morning, Heather said she was going outside to start her vehicle, but she never returned. After waiting for some time, he walked to school to tell someone that something was wrong.What followed was a series of strange events. Instead of involving social services, local residents were called in to look after Heather's children, a decision that struck her friends as deeply concerning. When photos of Heather's home began circulating, they showed some rooms inside her home in disarray. Her friends weren't sure whether Heather had made the mess herself, searching for something, or whether someone else had ransacked the house.The next day, one of Heather's neighbors found her truck parked at Beaver Bay, miles west of her Linton, North Dakota home. The scene was baffling: a trail of footprints in the snow that ended abruptly, and a new pair of shoes, the same brand Heather always wore, left behind, but not a pair her friends recognized. To make matters worse, there were conflicting accounts about her phone. Some said it was found in the truck; others pointed to photos showing her purse and phone still sitting on a counter inside her home.Back home in North Carolina, Heather's friends tried to make sense of it all. Locals seemed to be pointing fingers in every direction, and sometimes, back at Heather herself. Then came a press release from the Emmons County Sheriff's Office that left them in shock. It said that Heather “may have previously reached out to an unknown prior acquaintance living out of state to assist in leaving the area and may have taken steps to avoid detection or being located.” To those who knew her best, that explanation wasn't plausible. Heather was devoted to her sons. The idea that she would simply walk away from them, from everything, didn't fit the person they knew.Months later, at the end of May, Heather's remains were found in a field miles from where her truck had been parked. But finding Heather didn't bring answers. It only deepened the mystery. How had she ended up there, in the freezing cold? Why would she have gone there at all? The medical examiner couldn't determine the cause or manner of her death. There were no signs of trauma, and toxicology tests indicated that there were no drugs in her system that could have caused an overdose. Her death was ruled undetermined.Yet, despite that uncertainty, the Emmons County Sheriff's Office publicly stated that the autopsy “confirmed what investigators had believed all along,” that there was no foul play, and that Heather had suffered a mental health crisis. For her friends, that statement felt like a rewriting of history. From the beginning, officials had said Heather left voluntarily with an unknown acquaintance. Now, they claimed this had been their belief all along. It felt like an easy way to close the book on a case that still didn't make sense.Today, we're going to explore where things stand now that Heather has been found, take a closer look at her life in the months before she vanished, and the questions that still linger today.If you have any information about the disappearance and death of Heather Caras, please contact the Emmons County Sheriff's Office at 701-254-4411.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.

This week on Paranormal Activity: Monday Mailtime, Producer Dom unpacks two listener stories that challenge the boundaries of time, memory, and the spaces we think we understand.First, Daniel takes us to the cobbled alleys of Bruges, Belgium, where a mysterious art gallery seemed to appear out of nowhere and then vanish without a trace.Inside, the portraits didn't just watch him… one of them moved.Was it an artistic illusion, or did Daniel step into a place lost to history?Then, Ben shares what happened during a quiet winter in Sheffield, while housesitting for his cousin.In the attic sat an old Remington typewriter, silent for decades.Or so he thought.When the keys began clicking on their own, it felt like more than just coincidence, especially when one key pointed to a message from beyond the grave.Two stories. Two impossible places.One question: Can the past ever really let go?A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On the remote southern coast of Alaska lies the ghost village of Portlock. Once a thriving fishing community, now swallowed by the wilderness. In the 1930s and '40s, villagers began to vanish without trace, their bodies later found torn apart and scattered across the rugged terrain.OBSCURATA - Apple Spotify AmazonThe BOOKBY US A COFFEEJoin Sarah's new FACEBOOK GROUPSubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch Links:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portlock,_Alaskahttps://www.adn.com/alaska-life/2022/08/21/the-true-story-of-portlock-the-alaskan-ghost-town-scared-away-by-a-hairy-monster/https://www.alaskamagazine.com/authentic-alaska/history/the-mystery-of-port-chatham/https://alaskabeacon.com/2022/10/31/was-portlock-really-destroyed-by-an-alaskan-bigfoot/https://www.legendsofamerica.com/ak-portlock/https://www.the13thfloor.tv/2016/11/15/the-haunting-of-portlock-an-alaskan-ghost-town-abandoned-by-its-terrified-inhabitants/https://www.historicmysteries.com/portlock-alaska/https://cryptidz.fandom.com/wiki/Nantiinaqhttps://www.sitnews.us/Kiffer/Portlock/Portlock.htmlhttps://www.homernews.com/life/ghosts-of-portlock/Thanks so much for listening, and we'll catch up with you again tomorrow.Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds," Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licenced under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licencehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/;;;SURVEY Hosted on Acast.
