  The Somerton Man

  Sep 17, 202623 min

  The coastal suburb known as Somerton Beach, rests quietly within the Australian city of Adelaide. The year is 1948, and one man appears to be resting gently against a rock wall looking out at the early morning waves. Except this man, wasn’t resting… this man was dead. No name, no identity, and no obvious cause of death. The only clues to who this man was and what happened, will create more questions than answers. And hidden in a secret pocket, sewn into the lining of the man’s trousers, was a scrap piece of paper. On it were two haunting words: Tamám Shud. Translated from Persian. It reads - “It is finished,” Credits: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-11-21/somerton-manfamily-photographs-revealed-/101643524 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07-06/sa-police-report-coroner-into-somerton-man-case-very-soon/106869302 https://archives.sa.gov.au/finding-information/discover-our-collection/stories-from-the-archive/but-what-poison-mystery-of-the-somerton-man https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-62314555 https://dangerousminds.net/history/somerton-man-most-baffling-mystery-of-1948-solved/ https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/the-enduring-mystery-somerton-man-one-of-australias-most-puzzling-cold-cases-50795611/ Although every effort is made to ensure that the episode is researched and accurate we cannot guarantee the complete contents is entirely factually correct, and AI tools maybe used to enhance the dramatization of episodes.

  Sally In The Wood

  Sep 7, 202623 min

  In the picturesque countryside within the county of Somerset in England. Drivers carefully travel through the twisting roads the weave in and out of pockets of woodland. There is one stretch of road where within those shadows, the atmosphere changes and the birdsongs fall silent. And then sometimes without any warning a figure steps into the road. Impossible to avoid, drivers hit their brakes and wait for the impact. But there isn’t any, and when exiting the vehicle to examine the area – it’s just an empty road, the figure seen walking into the road has vanished. The unknown figure is the subject of many conversations by the local population – all too aware that folklore warns us that the road is haunted by a witch.

  Heaven's Gate

  Sep 2, 202623 min

  In March 1997, the world awoke to headlines that seemed impossible. Located within San Diego County, California, in the United States. Thirty-nine members of a religious movement were discovered to had died by mass suicide. They were part of Heaven’s Gate, a group founded in the early 1970s. Followers believed that the group leaders, Marshall Applewhite and Bonnie Nettles, were higher level extraterrestrial beings who had taken human form to guide a small number of chosen souls toward salvation and ascension. Their deaths were not chaotic, not violent, and not impulsive. They were the result of decades of evolving doctrine, isolation, and belief in a cosmic salvation.

  The Black Forest Haunting

  Aug 22, 202623 min

  The Black Forest sits northeast of Colorado Springs in the United States. In the early 1990s, one of those isolated houses began to behave as if it was awake when the family asleep. Lights glowed in locked rooms. Voices could be heard whispering and shadows crossed hallways with deliberate steps, pausing in doorways before slipping out of view. The temperature would change for no reason, doors opened by themselves, and metallic sounds echoed from the attic. The activity may have been subtle at first, then it became unmistakable. The forest may have remained silent. The house did not.

  The Mad Gasser of Mattoon

  Aug 8, 202623 min

  It is the late summer of 1944. The town of Mattoon, in the US state of Illinois, has found itself gripped by a fear so strange, so disorienting, that even now — decades later—historians, psychologists, and true‑crime researchers still argue about what really happened. It began with a husband and wife waking up during the night, to a sweet, sickly smell. Suspecting a gas leak they decided to check the kitchen stove downstairs. Yet they found themselves unable to move their legs. Their lips were tingling and then their throats felt tightened. Then by dawn - they were recovered. The cause was unknown, but a story of gas attacks would soon spread.
