Episode 102 - Jan Baalsrud Part 1

Wed, 11 Mar 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Our story takes place in Nazi-occupied Norway in 1943, in the frozen fjords and mountains of the Arctic north. It follows the almost unbelievable ordeal of Jan Baalsrud, a Norwegian resistance fighter whose mission behind enemy lines goes catastrophically wrong. What follows is a desperate fight for survival across some of the harshest terrain on earth — a story of avalanches, frostbite, starvation, and one man pushed far beyond what should be humanly possible to endure. It is also a story about the courage of ordinary people, villagers and strangers who risked everything to help him stay alive while German forces hunted for him across the mountains.

The main source for today’s story is the remarkable book We Die Alone by David Howarth, which reconstructs Jan’s journey in extraordinary detail using interviews with the people who helped him survive.

Episode 101 - Brink's-Mat Robbery

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 20:45:28 GMT

On 26 November 1983, armed robbers broke into a Brink’s-Mat security warehouse near Heathrow Airport in London expecting to steal cash. Instead, they discovered a vault holding 3,000 kilograms of gold bullion along with diamonds and money, worth about £26 million at the time.

The gang escaped with the gold, which was later melted down and laundered through criminal networks, fuelling one of the largest money-laundering operations in British history. Much of the gold was never recovered, and the robbery became linked to years of organised crime and several mysterious deaths connected to the case.

Epusode 99 - The 1970 Bhola Cyclone

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 20:27:57 GMT

In November 1970, a powerful cyclone struck the low-lying coast of what was then East Pakistan (now Bangladesh). A storm surge estimated up to ten metres high swept across islands in the Ganges Delta, submerging entire villages overnight. Between 300,000 and 500,000 people were killed, making it the deadliest tropical cyclone in recorded history. The disaster exposed major failures in relief efforts and intensified political tensions that would soon lead to the Bangladesh Liberation War.

Episode 98 - Bruce Saunders

Wed, 04 Feb 2026 14:00:00 GMT

In November 2017, the death of Queensland man Bruce Saunders was first reported as a horrific workplace accident involving a woodchipper on a rural property near Gympie. But almost immediately, police sensed something was wrong.

What followed was one of Queensland’s most disturbing murder investigations — a case involving betrayal, life insurance, staged evidence, and a brutal attempt to disguise murder as misadventure.

This episode unpacks how investigators unravelled the truth, what the forensic evidence revealed, and how those closest to Bruce became the central focus of a chilling conspiracy that shocked the Sunshine Coast and beyond.

This episode examines the events surrounding Tia’s disappearance and murder, drawing on court records, sentencing remarks, and coronial findings. It traces the social and personal pressures in Tia’s life, the role of familiarity and misplaced trust, the coercion of eyewitnesses, and the long aftermath for her family.

The second begins on a quiet backroad, where another man accepted a ride from a stranger on what should have been an ordinary drive home. Two different places, two different moments, but the same unsettling truth: both of them were much closer to death than they realized at the time.

Today’s true story takes place in Australia, in the early 1960s — a time when the country felt unstoppable.

New suburbs were rising, families were buying homes, and people believed the future could only get better.

But sometimes, the smallest choices — the ones that seem meaningless — end up rewriting everything.

This is a story about that kind of moment.

It starts with luck — a life-changing twist of fate — and ends with a nightmare that no one could have imagined. This story is about the finer details, and the notion that the smallest clues really do make the biggest differences

Episode 81 - Two men one Ghost

Wed, 22 Oct 2025 14:00:00 GMT

Today’s story will be told in two parts… taking place in the lives of two men — both of whom fought in the First World War.

These men did not serve together. In fact, they came from very different worlds, wore different uniforms, and carried different burdens. Yet both served the same country — Italy, a nation already fractured by the chaos of war, and soon to be haunted by something far stranger than battle.

Through a series of coincidences, confusions, and cruelties that only the fog of war can offer… their paths would converge in a spectacular way.

And none of it — not a single part — would take place on the battlefield.

When their stories finally overlapped, the resulting scandal would capture the world’s imagination — a mystery so extraordinary that even a century later, historians still debate what really happened.

Episode 80 - T.O.S. 1981

Tue, 21 Oct 2025 14:00:00 GMT

María Luisa García thought it was just a cold. A little cough, some aches — nothing she hadn’t pushed through before. But within days, her body began to fail her. Her muscles locked, her chest burned, and her skin took on a strange, grey hue. In her small Madrid apartment, her husband watched helplessly as neighbours up and down the street fell ill with the same mysterious sickness. Hospitals overflowed. Children couldn’t breathe. Entire families were struck down overnight. No one knew what was happening — not the doctors, not the government, not the terrified people watching their loved ones waste away. Some blamed pesticides, others whispered of a new virus. But the truth was far more ordinary — and far more horrifying.

Episode 79 - The Philly Killer

Mon, 20 Oct 2025 14:00:00 GMT

Bill Singleton was on his way to the American Legion convention in Philadelphia — a reunion he’d looked forward to all year. The city was buzzing with celebration, the hotels packed with veterans swapping stories, flags waving in the summer heat. But soon after he checked into the grand Bellevue-Stratford Hotel, something strange began to spread through the halls. Men who had marched through wars were suddenly struck by fevers, coughing fits, and crushing fatigue. Within days, dozens were dead — and no one knew why. Panic swept the city as rumours of poison, terrorism, and even government experiments filled the air. Doctors were baffled. The media called it the Philly Killer. And for months, no one could stop it.

From the misty plains of Venezuela and Colombia comes the terrifying legend of El Silbón — “The Whistler.” Once a spoiled young man who murdered his father, his cursed spirit now roams the countryside carrying a sack filled with his father’s bones. His eerie whistle drifts through the night — a haunting tune that rises and falls with the wind. They say if the whistle sounds close, you’re safe… but if it seems far away, death is near. Farmers, drunkards, and those who mistreat their families are his favourite prey. When the air grows cold and the dogs begin to howl, beware — for El Silbón is already walking behind you, counting your sins.

When she could not find the missing dish, she was thrown into the well and left to die. Ever since, her spirit is said to rise from the depths, counting in a trembling voice — “one… two… three…” — always stopping at nine before releasing a piercing scream that chills the night air. Locals say if you listen closely under a sliver of moonlight, you can still hear her counting… still searching for the tenth plate she never lost.

Episode 76 - The Hidebehind

Mon, 13 Oct 2025 14:00:00 GMT

Deep in the shadowy forests of North America lurks the Hidebehind — a creature said to stalk lumberjacks and wanderers who stray too far from camp. Described as impossibly fast and able to twist its body to remain unseen, it hides behind trees whenever looked at directly. Victims vanish without a sound, leaving only splintered tools and echoing whispers in the pines. For generations, loggers told tales of its long claws and hollow hunger — a reminder that in the deep woods, it’s not what you see that should scare you… it’s what’s standing just behind you.

Doomed to wander, these ghostly children are said to climb onto the backs of lone travellers at night, growing unbearably heavy as they demand to be carried to a proper burial ground. Their cries pierce the forest silence, and those who cannot bear the weight risk being crushed to death under the Myling’s grip.

Borley Rectory, in Essex, England, was built in 1862 for Reverend Henry Bull and quickly gained a reputation as “the most haunted house in England.” Over the decades, residents and visitors reported ghostly nuns drifting across the grounds, phantom carriages rattling at night, mysterious writings appearing on walls, and objects moving on their own. The case drew national attention in the 1920s and 30s when famed paranormal investigator Harry Price studied the site, publishing accounts that cemented its reputation. Critics later accused Price of exaggeration or fraud, while skeptics pointed to drafty halls, trickery, and mass hysteria. Even so, the Borley Rectory legend has endured, making it one of Britain’s most famous and controversial haunting stories.

After living with the phenomena for more than a decade, they sought help from famed demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren, who declared that a powerful demonic presence was responsible.

In the 1830s, a wealthy Kentucky man commissioned a finely crafted wooden chest — and unknowingly unleashed nearly two centuries of tragedy. According to legend, the cabinetmaker, cheated and mistreated, cursed the piece with a rootwork spell. From that day on, death and misfortune seemed to strike anyone who stored their belongings inside: infants who slept in blankets from the chest, adults who handled its contents, even owners who tried to destroy it. Passed down through generations, the so-called “Conjure Chest” left a trail of mysterious deaths so long that it now resides in the Kentucky History Museum… locked, sealed, and never to be opened again.

Believing she was possessed, priest Daniel Corogeanu and four nuns bound and gagged her, chained her to a cross, and deprived her of food and water for days. The case shocked the world — not only for its medieval-style ritual in the 21st century, but for the bitter clash between faith, mental health, and the law that followed. As the trial unfolded, questions mounted: was this a case of devout protectors battling evil, or a deadly act of neglect and abuse?

Episode 58 - Duffy's Cut

Wed, 20 Aug 2025 14:00:00 GMT

In 1832, 57 Irish immigrants were hired to build a stretch of railroad outside Philadelphia. Within weeks, they were all dead, officially from cholera. But buried skulls showed signs of violence. No records. No graves. And a ghost story that refused to fade.

This is the true, chilling mystery of Duffy’s Cut, where history, injustice, and something darker converge.

Mon, 18 Aug 2025 14:00:00 GMT

She was dubbed “The Mary Celeste of the Pacific.” In 1955, the MV Joyita set out from Samoa on a routine cargo run—and vanished. Weeks later, she was found adrift, half-submerged, and eerily intact… but her entire crew and passengers—25 souls—were gone without a trace. The ship’s radio was tuned to emergency frequencies. Her lifeboats were missing. Blood-stained bandages were found on board. Food and cargo remained untouched.

No bodies were ever recovered. No mayday was ever heard. And no one knows what really happened.

Was it piracy? Mutiny? A terrifying encounter in the vast Pacific?

In this eerie true tale, we dive into the bizarre and unsettling story of Don Becker, a former NFL player whose life took a dark turn after a brutal murder landed him behind bars. But it wasn’t just violence or regret that haunted his prison cell. According to Becker, the walls began to weep… literally. Water oozed mysteriously from the cell’s stone blocks, soaking his bed and floor—sometimes forming crosses. Was it divine punishment? A supernatural message? Or simply the delusions of a guilty mind?

Mon, 11 Aug 2025 14:00:00 GMT

The Ammons haunting, also known as the “200 Demons House” case, is one of the most infamous alleged possessions in modern American history. In 2011, Latoya Ammons and her three children claimed to experience terrifying paranormal activity in a rental home in Gary, Indiana, including levitation, strange voices, and demonic possession. Their story drew in police officers, doctors, and child services, many of whom signed affidavits testifying to bizarre events. While skeptics suggest psychological, environmental, or financial motives, believers view it as a rare and chilling case of true demonic infestation.

Episode 60 - Monte Cristo Homestead

Sun, 10 Aug 2025 05:44:11 GMT

Perched on a hill overlooking the small town of Junee, New South Wales, Monte Cristo Homestead has been called Australia’s most haunted house — and for good reason. Built in 1885 by wealthy grazier Christopher Crawley, the Victorian manor was a symbol of success… but behind its ornate façade lies a grim history of sudden deaths, tragic accidents, and chilling cruelty. Over the decades, residents, visitors, and even the current owners have reported ghostly apparitions, phantom footsteps, sudden cold spots, and the unmistakable smell of burning straw. From the fatal fall of a Crawley child to the gruesome deaths of workers and servants, Monte Cristo’s reputation as a hotspot for the supernatural has only grown. Today, it stands as both a meticulously restored museum and a place where the past refuses to rest.

On July 12th, a group of American circus performers got into a late-night tavern brawl with members of Toronto’s local fire brigade. The next day, the firemen returned to get revenge. They stormed the S.B. Howes Star Troupe Menagerie and Circus, tearing down tents, injuring performers, and wrecking the grounds. It wasn’t just about clowns and pride — the riot revealed the raw tensions of a city divided by class, religion, and loyalty. The circus didn’t start the fire. It just lit the fuse.

In 19th-century Edinburgh, William Burke and William Hare found a gruesome way to profit from the booming demand for medical cadavers. Rather than rob graves like other “resurrectionists” of the time, they took it further—murdering at least 16 people and selling the fresh corpses to an eager anatomy professor. What began as a quick scheme spiralled into one of the most notorious true crime stories in history, exposing the dark underbelly of science, greed, and moral decay in the age of enlightenment.

Wed, 30 Jul 2025 14:00:00 GMT

The Babington Plot was a deadly game of spies, secrets, and betrayal in the court of Elizabeth I. In 1586, young Catholic nobleman Anthony Babington conspired to assassinate the Protestant queen and place Mary, Queen of Scots, on the throne. But he walked straight into the trap of Elizabeth’s ruthless spymaster, Sir Francis Walsingham. What followed was one of history’s first modern intelligence operations—complete with forged letters, double agents, and coded messages—and it sealed Mary’s fate. Tudor espionage didn’t just shape a kingdom; it built the blueprint for all spycraft to come.

Big Nose George Parrott was a train robber, outlaw, and all-around menace in the American Wild West.
