This month’s unsolved murder case takes us somewhere we haven’t been yet: Hawai’i. I want to be up front before we get into things...this is new territory for me. I have learned a lot about Hawaiian culture while researching for this post, but I’m not naïve or arrogant enough to believe I know everything. If [...]

The Extraterrestrial: Audrey and Debbie Hewins
This month’s alien encounter story was chosen because it shares a theme with our previous post. Audrey and Debbie Hewins are identical twins from Oxford, Maine. Throughout their lives, the Hewins Twins have said they’ve been visited repeatedly by “bald men” - also known as Greys. The twins have taken it upon themselves to destigmatize [...]

The Unnamed: Tempe Girl
This month’s Jane Doe comes with a hefty drug use content warning. The Jane Doe known as Tempe Girl had overdosed less than 24 hours prior to the discovery of their body, meaning we know exactly what they looked like. We have witnesses who spoke to them right before they died. So why has no [...]
Legend Has It: Black Aggie

The Mysterious: The Titanic Switch Theory
For this month’s mystery, we’re dipping our toes into the world of conspiracy theories. For this first venture into such a....widely varied (and often sinister) topic, I wanted to cover something that is not destructive and somewhat debunked. This month, we’ll look at whether the Titanic was actually the ship that sank on April 14, [...]
Creepy Cryptids: The Van Meter Visitor
Today we’re going to cover a very strange cryptid that comes to us from Van Meter, Iowa. It was only sighted in October 1903, and has never been seen again. This cryptid goes far beyond other cryptids covered before in many ways - it was seen by several people for extended periods of time, and [...]
