A Girl, a Mayan Ruin, and a Crystal Skull | Only One Part of That Story Is True
For seventy years, the Mitchell-Hedges crystal skull was celebrated as proof of a lost ancient civilization — a relic so perfectly crafted that Hewlett-Packard's own scientists said it shouldn't exist — and every word of the story behind it was a lie. *No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast* IN THIS EPISODE: Does the mysterious ancient “Crystal Skull of Doom” really have mystical, paranormal properties? (The Crystal Skull’s Stare of Death) *** Was the unidentified man found dead on an Adelaide beach in 1948 a Cold War spy?

(The Waldron Woods Mystery) *** One pupil discovers that Mystery Meat Monday isn’t the only thing to fear when heading to lunch at the school cafeteria. (The Student In The Cafeteria) *** It’s amazing the extraordinary lengths our world leaders will go to in order to cover up reports of alien aircraft sightings and the like. And we know they are covering them up, because occasionally they do come clean about it – as they did in the 1980s in Britain. (UFOs: When Governments Come Clean) *** A woman wake up to discover her husband has disappeared from the bed and she can’t find him. But after looking through the house, she finds something surprising waiting for her in the bedroom. (I Went Missing From Our Bed) *** A man begins hearing strange noises – only later to discover something extraterrestrial embedded in his ear. (Alien Ear Implant) *** On a hot, sunny, summer Saturday in 1966, three young women in bathing suits left all of their belongings on crowded beach and climbed aboard a motorboat on Lake Michigan. They were never seen again. (Young Women Lost) *** A young boy braves a snow storm and walks miles to the nearest town to try and get medicine for his ailing mother and siblings. On the verge of giving up, a warm-hearted stranger walking his dog comes into sight. But who walks a dog in the middle of a winter snow storm? (A Warm Meeting in Deadly Winter) *** On a quiet street in California sits a stately brick house swarming with paranormal activity… so much so, that Whaley House has been deemed the most haunted house in America.

Meat Rained From a Clear Kentucky Sky — And It Took 150 Years to (Sort of) Explain It
On a cloudless March morning in 1876, chunks of raw flesh fell from an empty sky over a Kentucky farm — and the only preserved piece of evidence still hasn't been fully identified. *No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast* PRINT VERSION: https://weirddarkness.com/150-years-kentucky-meat-shower/ MUSIC VIDEO: https://weirddarkness.com/music-kentuckymeatshower/ WeirdDarkness® is a registered trademark.

A Grave-Robbing Bomber, A Ghost In The Dam, And Babe Ruth's Best Year
A man robs a grave, murders a hermit, and then decides to take up bombing. A ghost has been standing in the same flooded tunnel for over 160 years. Workers may still be sealed inside one of America's most famous landmarks. A gunman holding dozens of hostages picks up the phone and calls a radio station. A soldier walks off base in the middle of the night — and keeps walking. And a real boy named Ken becomes the most famous plastic man in history. | IT HAPPENED ON *DATE* | The Morning Weird Darkness *No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast* WeirdDarkness® is a registered trademark.

The Dover Demon | 3 Witnesses, 2 Nights, No Explanation
In April 1977, four witnesses in a quiet Massachusetts suburb encountered something over 26 hours that has never been identified. Every explanation anyone has offered since has a problem with it. So what exactly did they see on those dark Dover roads that night? IN THIS EPISODE: In April 1962, identical twin sisters died in separate wards of a North Carolina psychiatric hospital on the same night, at the same hour, with no medical cause that autopsies, state investigators, or the FBI could identify. The death certificates still read "ill-defined and unknown" — and sixty years of research hasn't changed that. (The Eller Twins | Did They Will Themselves To Die?) *** In October 1988, a poodle fell from a thirteenth-floor balcony in Buenos Aires, and what happened in the minutes that followed turned an ordinary street corner into one of the strangest documented sequences in Argentine history. Every October, the story circulates again — and nobody who hears it ever quite forgets it.
