PHINEAS GAGE: A Rod Blasted Through His Head, He Lost Half His Brain, Then He Got Up and Walked Away

PHINEAS GAGE: A Rod Blasted Through His Head, He Lost Half His Brain, Then He Got Up and Walked Away

In 1848, a 13-pound iron rod exploded through Phineas Gage's skull, destroyed half his brain, and flew out the other side—but instead of dying, he sat up, spoke clearly, and walked nearly a mile to see a doctor... and that's just the beginning of the story! Support our Halloween “Overcoming the Darkness” campaign to help people with depression: https://weirddarkness.com/HOPE IN THIS EPISODE: I’ve covered numerous stories here in the podcast on people gone missing, never to be seen again. But it’s much more rare to have a story about a corpse going missing, never to be seen again. (How Daniel Murdock Saved on Funeral Expenses) *** One thing that has always been a constant in human history is adultery; as is the jilted spouse always being angry about it. One thing that has not been a constant is how society judges those involved in the infidelity. In 1885, there were different opinions about both adulterers as well as the one who murders a homewrecker. (Shot By a Jealous Husband) *** Part of the tablet’s translation, according to Isaac Newton, states: “By this means you shall have the glory of the whole world and thereby all obscurity shall fly from you. Its force is above all force, for it vanquishes every subtle thing and penetrates every solid thing.” Cryptic yes, but it appears to indicate immense power for the one who understands and wields it. It comes from the Emerald Tablet – and it’s no surprise there are many now who want to know where it is. (The Mystery of the Emerald Tablet) *** The Shimokubo Dam in Japan is unique in that it is supposedly haunted. I’ve heard of haunted lakes, and haunted roads that go around lakes or past lakes, but I’ve never heard of a lake that was created by a haunted dam. Shimokubo Dam is supposedly so haunted, that Japan says the stream of ghost hunters and paranormal enthusiasts is out of control. (Japan’s Haunted Dam) *** A mysterious creature is reported to be living near a bridge in Zimbabwe which has killed numerous men. What is the Beast of Gwanda Town? (Beast of Gwanda Town) *** A year before the infamous Lizzie Bordon was born, came the birth of Lizzie Halliday – who, though becoming less well known, went on to commit atrocities that would’ve made Lizzie Bordon’s stomach turn. (The Worst Woman on Earth) *** 
His story is legendary. One day while working on the railroad, Phineas Gage tapped on an iron rod that set off an explosion which sent the iron spike through his skull, destroying parts of his brain… yet he lived. But it changed his life… his personality… and it changed the medical and psychological world forever.

NAZI GERMANY DECLARES WAR ON THE LOCH NESS MONSTER: Goebbels Mocks Nessie, Allies Fight Back

NAZI GERMANY DECLARES WAR ON THE LOCH NESS MONSTER: Goebbels Mocks Nessie, Allies Fight Back

When Nazi propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels declared the Loch Ness Monster a hoax to mock British intelligence and Mussolini claimed Italy bombed Nessie to death, the Allies fired back with the ultimate counter-propaganda: the lake monster survived and became a war hero. Support our Halloween “Overcoming the Darkness” campaign to help people with depression: https://weirddarkness.com/HOPE IN THIS EPISODE: You probably saw the title of this episode and immediately thought, “Whaaa?” Well, I’m going to tell you one of the most ridiculous stories I’ve ever heard that is 100% true. The Axis powers of World War II tried to kill the Loch Ness Monster. (The Assassination of the Loch Ness Monster) *** As far back as time is recorded, mankind has had a fascination with Sirius, the Dogstar. But what is so special about it aside from the fact that it’s one of the brightest stars in our sky? Might there be an extraterrestrial connection as well? (Why So Serious About Sirius?) *** UFO reports come in constantly to police stations and online sites dedicated to the subject of Ufology – practically on a daily basis. And many sightings are by people you would consider above reproach such as law enforcement, scientists, military, numerous sightings by pilots… but when you head out into space and see a UFO, as is what happens with astronauts’ reports, that’s something you take a much closer look at. (Code Word: Santa Claus) *** Jimmy Logue left his wife after only two years of marriage. Without first getting divorced, he married another woman – whom he badly mistreated, so she left him. But he had already started an affair with her sister, so he married her next – now on his third wife. He abused her as well. He was also a career criminal – spending half his life living off the spoils of his thievery, the other half behind bars when caught. So it probably comes as no surprise that he was suspect number one when his third wife was found murdered.
