Steve Stockton's STRANGE MYSTERIES Episode #19 - There are stories that'll keep you awake at night. Not ghost stories or tall tales around the campfire, but cold, hard facts recorded by police, military officials, and scientists that just don't make a lick of sense. Pull up a chair and let's dive into 10 of the most deeply unsettling, heavily documented mysteries of the unexplained. From the eerie final radio calls of Flight 19 as they vanished into the dark Atlantic, to an abandoned lifeboat found resting on the most isolated speck of land on planet Earth, these are the true historical anomalies that prove reality is far, far stranger than fiction. The ocean is hungry, the woods are deep, and sometimes, people just vanish into thin air. Drop a comment below: Which of these cases gave you the worst chills? Do you have a theory for what happened to the men of the Sarah Joe or the Yuba County Five? Let's discuss! 1. The Disappearance of Flight 19 (1945) 2. The Yuba County Five (1978) 3.

Months after the five friends disappeared, investigators made a haunting discovery: one man was found inside a remote Forest Service trailer stocked with food, fuel, warm clothing, and supplies that could have kept someone alive for months. So why wasn't it enough? Why was the heat never turned on? And what happened to the fifth man, whose body has never been found?Author and archival researcher Tony Wright returns to examine the evidence, overlooked investigative mistakes, and the theories that continue to fuel one of America's most shocking mysteries nearly 50 years later.

Hello Poison Friends! Erin and I are back for a little something different today. I have had a disappearance/mysterious death case on my mind for some time and it felt like the right time to talk about it. We are covering the case of the Yuba County Five. In February of 1978, five young men from Yuba County, California, disappeared one night after a trip to see a basketball game. Each of the men lived with their families and had varying degrees of learning, intellectual, and mental health disabilities. When their car is found, answers only lead to further questions. What happened to the Yuba County Five and why has this been described by some as America's Dyatlov Pass Incident?Thank you to all of our listeners and supporters!

Welcome back to the dark! This week, we are diving into another extended double-feature exploring the ultimate human mystery: what happens when our most fundamental instinct—the drive to survive—completely collapses?We are unpacking two of the most baffling, psychological true crime cases in modern history. Two distinct groups of men, separated by a decade and thousands of miles, who willingly marched into their own bizarre demises, leaving behind evidence that defies all logic and reason.Public Access of this post is available 10:00AM GMT+8 21/03/2026Case File 1: The Lead Masks of Vintém Hill (Brazil, 1966)Two electronic technicians leave their homes, hike up a dense, tropical mountain in tailored suits and waterproof coats, and lie down in the dirt to die. The Artifacts: Resting over their eyes were crude, hand-cut lead masks designed to block intense radiation. The Instructions: In their pocket, a cryptic notebook read: "18:30 swallow capsules, after effect protect metals wait for mask signal." The Anomaly: At the exact time they were scheduled to wait for their "signal," local residents reported a fiercely glowing, orange object hovering silently over the hill. Did they make contact, or was it a fatal miscalculation? Case File 2: The Winter Tomb of Yuba County (California, 1978)Often called the "American Dyatlov Pass," five young men with mild intellectual disabilities vanish on a simple drive home from a college basketball game. The Illogical Escape: They abandoned a perfectly functioning, heated car with plenty of gas to walk 19 miles uphill into a freezing, waist-deep blizzard. The Paradox: Months later, one of the men was discovered starved to death inside a Forest Service trailer. He was wrapped in eight heavy blankets, completely surrounded by a year's worth of military rations and a working propane heater that he refused to use. The Ghost: While four bodies were eventually recovered, Gary Mathias vanished into the High Sierra without a trace. Did an unseen terror chase them into the ice, or were they victims of their own shared paranoia? The Thread That Binds Them: One group died because they believed the universe had something greater waiting for them. The other group died because they were consumed by absolute, blinding terror. In both cases, the logic of the living was replaced by a terrifying alternate reality.I want to hear your theories. Drop a comment below or join the discussion on our social media pages. What do you think the "mask signal" was? And what unseen fear kept the Yuba County Five from opening those cans of food?Turn the lights off, keep your digital footprint secure, and remember... the world is full of ghosts, and not all of them are dead.— The Tale Teller
In February 1978, five young men vanished after attending a basketball game in Yuba County, California. Their car was later found abandoned deep in the snowy wilderness of Plumas National Forest far from their route and with no clear explanation why they went there.As searchers uncovered eerie clues, including a remote trailer stocked with untouched supplies, the mystery only deepened. Four of the men were eventually found, but Gary Mathias was never located. Nearly 50 years later, the case of the Yuba County Five remains one of America's most haunting unsolved disappearances.

Forests can be breathtaking — peaceful, quiet, and full of life. But they can also be isolating… and unforgiving.In today's episode, we explore two deeply unsettling disappearances that took place in the forests of California. First, the baffling case of the Yuba County Five — five men who vanished after a basketball game and were later found under mysterious and tragic circumstances in the mountains. Then, the strange disappearance of Sandra Hughes, who entered the woods and was never seen again.Two separate cases. No connection between them. Except for one haunting detail — both walked into the forest… and walked back out.Join the Membership on Youtube! Click HERE Want this episode EARLY & AD FREE?

My guest for this episode is author and researcher Tony Wright, who joined me to talk about his recent book Things Aren't Right: The Disappearance of the Yuba County Five. The book explores the strange and tragic 1978 disappearance of five friends in the Plumas National Forest in Northern California; Ted Weiher, Jack Madruga, Bill Sterling, Jackie Huett, and Gary Mathias. Four of these men had intellectual disabilities while one was diagnosed with schizophrenia. On Friday, February 24, 1978, they left the Yuba County, California area in Madruga's 1969 Mercury Montego to attend a basketball game in Chico, California. Four days later the car they were traveling in was found abandoned on a snow-covered road in the mountains of the Plumas National Forest, some seventy-five miles in the wrong direction from home. Four jurisdictions of law enforcement would investigate and search for the missing men. Psychics were brought in, and there were strange reports of sightings of the five from numerous people. One witness came forward with an incredible story of seeing the men disappear into the forest that night. Yet every lead came to a dead end. About four months after they vanished, four of the five men's remains were found some twelve miles from the car, with one discovered in a US Forest Service trailer with plenty of food and fuel to keep them alive for months. Once described as ‘Bizarre as hell', the case of the Yuba County Five has baffled law enforcement and the families of the missing men for over forty-five years. Tony's meticulous research has rightly earned him the reputation of being one of the foremost authorities on the subject, and his conclusions are likely as close as anyone will come to making sense of what happened to Ted, Jack, Bill, Jackie and Gary. You can find out more about Tony and his book on his Facebook page. Nick Kyle's The Missing Enigma YouTube channel also has some excellent videos about the Yuba County Five case.

The Devil's Ledger — January 12, 2026 The Dead Time of WinterWelcome back to The Devil's Ledger — and to the cold dead heart of winter. For the next six weeks, the world slows down, the nights stretch longer, and the quiet gets louder. Stay alert, stay calm… and stay inside. This week, on The Devil Within, we launch a two-part series on one of the most haunting disappearances in American true crime: The Yuba County Five. Five young men leave a basketball game in 1978 and take the wrong road into the mountains. Their car is found abandoned — functional, not wrecked, and capable of sheltering them — but they left it behind and walked uphill into the snow. No killer. No chase. Just winter, fear, and the terrible power of confusion. On The Ides of April, we conclude The Quiet Death of an Empire with Part Two of the assassination of Tsar Nicholas II, and examine the enduring controversy that Anastasia may have survived the bloodbath. This week on Criminal Mischief, Carolyn delivers an update on the so-called Torso Killer case from New York and New Jersey in the 1970s — including a new jailhouse confession and an exclusive interview with Dr. Peter Vronsky, the author and expert who literally wrote the book on the Golden Age of serial killers. The boys from Taboo Treasures are still on winter break, but they'll be back soon. In This Week in Horror, we recommend We Bury the Dead — a chilling zombie film where a military mistake sparks catastrophe… and the cover-up doesn't go as planned. And don't miss our new daily show on the network: Finding Me with Josh Wolf — honest, hilarious, and quickly becoming a must-listen. See you this week across the Evio universe.

Five men went to a basketball game in 1978 and somehow ended up on a mountain road 70 miles in the wrong direction, where they abandoned their working car and vanished into the wilderness. When searchers found some of them months later, the evidence made even less sense than their disappearance… including finding the body of one man who died of starvation despite being surrounded by food.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE for the ad-free version: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateTake the WEIRD DARKNESS LISTENER SURVEY and help mold the future of the podcast: https://weirddarkness.com/surveyIN THIS EPISODE: Five men disappear, and the more closely you look at the case, the more you question what exactly happened to each one of them.

On the evening of 24 February 1978, five friends from Northern California - Ted Weiher, Jack Madruga, Bill Sterling, Jackie Huett, and Gary Mathias - set off to watch a basketball game. They never returned. Months later, four of them were discovered dead in the snowy wilderness of the Plumas National Forest, seventy miles from their intended route. The fifth man has never been found alive… or dead. The disappearance of the men from Yuba County is a case we have explored before on this podcast. However, in the years since, Bedtime Stories has become aware of previously unavailable information that sheds an entirely different light on this infamous story. Thanks to the work of a diligent investigative writer who has graciously agreed to collaborate on this episode, we may finally be ready to revisit the tragedy of the Yuba County Five.

This week, we're diving headfirst into the creepiest, wildest unsolved mysteries that still keep people awake at night. From the chilling fate of the Yuba County Five, to the eerie disaster at the Dyatlov Pass Incident, to the haunting disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, these stories have everything: confusion, conspiracy, and enough nightmare fuel to keep you side-eyeing shadows in your room. Buckle up, because we're breaking down the scariest real-life mysteries that no one has ever fully solved. But that's not all! We've got our usual chaos brewing. In Emails from the Listeners, one wedding went nuclear when a drunk groomsman locked lips with the maid of honor… while her boyfriend was sitting inside, champagne in hand. Plus, CMo's biggest pet peeve while traveling, because airports really are where sanity goes to die. Over in News, a leaked British tabloid story about a Republican lawmaker's alleged secret sex scandal has strategists Tim Miller and Adam Kinzinger laughing and side-eyeing the whole GOP. And in Not The Drag Queens, we've got Scott Soucek, a “family values” MAGA crusader caught with hundreds of illicit child images. Reminding everyone that the real danger isn't drag queens reading books. Got a question, comment or topic for us to cover? Let us know!

Have you heard the story of these five young men whose disappearance is surrounded in mystery known as the Yuba County five?
The story of the Yuba County 5 is as much a mystery today as it was 50 years ago when it happened. Why did 5 men seemingly drive miles from where they were supposed to be, when they had places to be and things to do, into the remote wilderness? And why were they found in a hidden cabin so far from the car in the middle of a snowstorm?

Tony Wright joins Ed Opperman to talk about the facts and the fictions behind the now legendary case of the Yuba County Five.He's the author of two comic books and a graphic novel with Source Point Press. Tony is an archivist, father, husband, and a lost soul of rock and roll. When he is not writing, he is spending time with his family or enjoying a good meal. Tony has been featured as a Yuba County Five case expert on the Mopac Audio podcast Yuba County Five and was also featured as a case expert on the Motor Trend TV show Auto/Biography: Cold Case.The book explores the bizarre and tragic 1978 disappearance of Ted Weiher, Jack Madruga, Bill Sterling, Jackie Huett, and Gary Mathias in the Plumas National Forest in Northern California. Four of these men had intellectual disabilities while one was diagnosed with schizophrenia. On Friday, February 24, 1978, they left the Yuba County, California area in Madruga's 1969 Mercury Montego to attend a basketball game in Chico, California. Four days later the car they were traveling in was found abandoned on a snow-covered road in the mountains of the Plumas National Forest, some 75 miles in the wrong direction from home.Four jurisdictions of law enforcement would investigate and search for the missing men. Psychics were brought in, and there were strange reports of sightings of the five from numerous people. One witness came forward with an incredible story of seeing the men disappear into the forest that night. Yet every lead came to a dead end. About four months after they vanished, four of the five men's remains were found some 12 miles from the car, with one discovered in a US Forest Service trailer with plenty of food and fuel to keep them alive for months.Once described as ‘Bizarre as hell', the case of the Yuba County Five has baffled law enforcement and the families of the missing men for over 45 years. Tony Wright has meticulously researched this case, earning himself the reputation of being one of the foremost authorities on the subject, and his conclusions are likely as close as anyone will come to making sense of this tragedy.Book https://amzn.to/4niUiIkYou can see a virtual presentation at the Houston Public Library about the Yuba County Five case on Saturday, June 28th from 2pm until 3pm CST.

Described as "America's Dyatlov Pass Incident," the disappearance of five young men has baffled the world for decades. When their vehicle is found abandoned on a rough mountain road, authorities are suddenly filled with more questions than answers. Why did the group of men drive the wrong direction from home and end up on the side of a mountain? Why did they leave the safety of the vehicle to head out, presumably on foot, completely unprepared and underdressed, into the snow? Where did they go? When signs of the men start being discovered, the questions only intensify. Here we are, over 40 years later, still asking.....what happened to the Yuba County Five?
