EPISODE 109 - Mary Toft and Her Baby Bunnies

TIMESTAMP - Story starts at 16:30
The story of Mary Toft is one of the most bizarre hoaxes in medical history. In 1726, Mary Toft, a peasant woman from Surrey, England, claimed to have given birth to rabbits. She convinced local doctors by presenting them with various animal parts, claiming they emerged during her labor. News of this strange phenomenon spread, and prominent physicians, including the king's surgeon Nathaniel St. André, came to investigate.

Initially, many medical professionals believed her claims, attributing the phenomenon to "maternal impression," a then-popular theory suggesting that a mother's experiences could physically affect her unborn child. However, suspicions grew as more physicians examined her and the circumstances of her alleged births.

The hoax was eventually exposed when Toft confessed under pressure. She admitted to inserting dead rabbits and other animal parts into her body, which she later pretended to give birth to. The story caused a scandal, humiliating the medical community and serving as a cautionary tale about gullibility and the importance of scientific skepticism.

Mysterious PNW Holiday Road Trip: The Staircase Murder

This is a special episode to all of our listeners from the wonderful podcast Mysterious PNW. We hope you love it as much as we do.

Kathleen Peterson's mysterious death in 2001, found at the bottom of a staircase with severe head injuries, led to the arrest and conviction of her husband, Michael Peterson, for first-degree murder. Despite the prosecution's claims of a violent attack, Michael's defense argued it was an accidental fall, and questions about the reliability of forensic evidence and expert testimony persisted throughout the trial. After serving eight years in prison, Michael entered an Alford plea in 2017, maintaining his innocence while acknowledging sufficient evidence for conviction, leaving the case unresolved and controversial.

EPISODE 94 - The Charles Peck Calls

Charles Peck was a 49-year-old man who tragically lost his life in the 2008 Metrolink train crash in California. This crash occurred on September 12, 2008, when a Metrolink commuter train collided head-on with a freight train near Los Angeles, killing 25 people and injuring over 100 others. Peck's story became widely known not only because of the tragedy but due to a mysterious and eerie event that followed his death.

After the crash, Charles Peck's cell phone continued to make calls to his fiancée, family, and friends for several hours. In total, about 35 calls were made from his phone, even though he had died instantly in the collision. The calls gave his loved ones hope that he might still be alive, but when rescuers finally reached his body, they confirmed that he had not survived the crash. His cell phone was never recovered.

The phenomenon has been described as one of the eerie and unexplained elements of the incident, with various theories suggesting the phone's automated system malfunctioned or that it was a technological glitch. Others see it as something more mysterious or symbolic, particularly given that the calls stopped just before his body was found.

This story has captivated many people and is often cited in discussions about unexplained phenomena related to death and technology.

EPISODE 101 - Jack The Ripper PART TWO

TIMESTAMP - Episode starts at 08:40
In the 2nd part of our celebratory episode we are covering Jack The ripper!!
Jack the Ripper is the pseudonym given to an unidentified serial killer who terrorized the Whitechapel district of London in 1888. Known for his brutal attacks on women, particularly targeting vulnerable female sex workers, Jack the Ripper’s modus operandi included slashing the throats and mutilating the bodies of his victims, often removing organs in a way that suggested medical knowledge.

The murders attributed to Jack the Ripper were mainly concentrated in the impoverished East End of London, specifically in Whitechapel. The Ripper’s known victims, often called the “canonical five,” were Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and Mary Jane Kelly. However, some believe there could have been additional victims. The killer's identity remains one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in criminal history, sparking numerous theories, investigations, and cultural portrayals.

Despite the intense media frenzy, extensive police investigations, and hundreds of suspects, no one was ever formally identified as Jack the Ripper. The case has since become a symbol of the public fascination with the macabre and has inspired countless books, films, and theories attempting to reveal the killer's true identity.

EPISODE 95 - The House Of A Thousand Corpses part 1

The Tri-State Crematory was a family-run business that operated for over two decades, serving funeral homes in Georgia, Tennessee, and Alabama. Ray Brent Marsh, who took over the crematory from his father in the mid-1990s, was responsible for handling cremations.
In February 2002, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) received an anonymous tip regarding human remains being improperly disposed of at the Tri-State Crematory. A propane gas delivery driver also reported seeing a human body on the crematory's property. Authorities responded and made a grim discovery. Over 300 decaying bodies were found scattered on the grounds of the crematory in various stages of decomposition.

Some bodies were hidden in buildings, while others were left in the woods or dumped in pits. Despite having received bodies from families for cremation, Marsh had not cremated many of them. Instead, he returned boxes of cement powder or dirt to grieving families, leading them to believe they had received the ashes of their loved ones.

Ever laugh so hard at the random absurdities of life that you forget the world around you? Well, strap in as we take you on a whirlwind journey from the giggly highs of pantsing pranks and the hilariously misunderstood resting bitch face, to the anticipation of our Patriots day celebration.
But it's not all fun and games.

This fiend knew everything, from what Courtney and her family wore to the code of their security system. The stalking escalated so much that two neighbouring families began receiving the same eerie calls. With the baffling mystery still unsolved and theories about phone spoofing, roving bugs, and Myspace ringtones floating around, we ask: how safe are we, really, from the eyes and ears of the unseen?
