Strange and Unexplained with Daisy Eagan

Any place that is a repository for transitory people is bound to attract some wayward souls looking to free themselves of their corporeal body. It seems the more fancy the hotel, the more ghosts it plays host to. Chicago’s ornate Congress Plaza Hotel is said to be one of the most haunted in the country. It’s cursed guestbook features killer clowns, a staggering number of tragic deaths, and one of the most notorious serial killers in American history.

S3 Ep21: Turn on, Tune in, and Disappear: Where are Mitchell Weiser & Bonnie Bickwit?

In 1973, two teenagers ventured to a festival in upstate New York to see their favorite bands play. With just a few dollars in their pockets and a hitchhiking sign that read “To Watkins Glen”, no one knows if they ever made it to the concert. There they stood, two kids on the side of the road with sleeping bags strapped to their backs, slowly fading in the rearview, never to be seen again. Their disappearance would become one of the oldest missing persons cases in United States history.
