Both were partially nude with no major visible wounds to speak of. Why were these two unrelated people on the banks of a river in the early hours of New Years Day?

His meticulous research took him all across Europe, usually culminating in series of experiments at his purpose-built, fraud-proofed psychical lab. Ever the skeptic, Price was driven by an obsessive mission to not just to expose frauds who claimed they could reach over to the other side, but to find anyone who actually could.

In 1975, Jim Sullivan had all the potential of a classic rocker on the verge of making it big. After the release of his sophomore album, while driving from LA to Nashville, he disappeared somewhere in the New Mexico desert. Did he run afoul of the law?

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.

One night in 1987, the Georgia home of an elderly couple erupted into a geyser of human blood.

An unidentified, well dressed man was found dead on an Australian beach in November 1948. He lay on the sand as if sleeping, with no immediate signs of struggle or foul play. Stitched into a secret pocket in his trousers was a scrap of paper torn from a book of 18th century poetry, with a confusing jumble of letters and numbers scribbled alongside. Was it a cypher for a secret code? Could the man have been a spy? Or was he merely an unfortunate, unclaimed soul? The mystery would remain for over 70 years… This Week's Sponsors: IQ Bar- To get your twenty percent off, just text STRANGE to 64000.

What would you sacrifice to live freely? Would you fight every day, out loud, to defend your way of life? For Marsha P. Johnson, living on her own terms was a non-negotiable part of her existence. Her outspoken activism and advocacy led her to be one of the most prominent figures of the gay rights movement of the 1960s and 1970s in New York City. She was a living legend, until one tragic day in 1992 her body was found floating in the Hudson River. Over 30 years later, her death is still shrouded by questions but her legacy remains unshakable.

Hey, Strange & Unexplained listeners!  We’re off this week for the Memorial Day holiday, but didn’t want to leave you with an empty feed, so we’re featuring an episode from another Obsessed Network show, “Crimes of the Centuries” Crime is so commonplace that it takes something particularly shocking and horrifying to be labelled the “crime of the century.” Even so, many of these crimes have been forgotten or lost to history. Until now.  Each week, award-winning report Amber Hunt takes a deep dive into one of these crimes, telling forgotten true crime tales that you may not have heard before. The episode we’re sharing today, “Chasing a Ghost,” tells the story of the murder of a small-town Pennsylvania police chief, which seemed like an open-and-shut case when it happened in December of 1980.  After all, whoever shot Gregory Adams appeared to have left a driver's license at the scene of the crime.  But investigators soon learned that the case would prove more challenging than expected, with a criminal who seemed to vanish into thin air for decades. We’ll be back with an all new S&U episode next week, so in the meantime, check out “Crimes of the Centuries” wherever you get your podcasts.

In the summer of 1976, a group of college students experienced something otherworldly while on a camping trip in the wilderness of Maine. The mystery surrounding the phenomenon would entangle the men for the next forty years, leading them down a road of experimentation and hypnosis in their search for answers as to what exactly happened to them that night.

Communing with nature sounds nice, sure, but wilderness can hide darkness in it’s miles of untamed trails. No matter how experienced a hiker you are, bad things have a tendency to be lurking out in the woods. Spanning over 2,000 miles from Georgia to Maine, the Appalachian Trail is the longest foot-path in the world, but or some, it’s long walk straight into the hands of a killer.

Before the days of Jack the Ripper, there was another Jack terrorizing the streets of Victorian London. Spring-Heeled Jack, the fashionable shape-shifting Victorian Era boogeyman terrorized citizens from all walks of life for upwards of 50 years without ever directly taking a single life.

For some true crime cases, saturation of the headlines can lead to a rabid thirst for public details so vicious and all-consuming that it transforms an criminal investigation into media frenzy. Entangled in a winding web of misconstrued details, misinformed opinions, and mishandled investigations, the space between “The Truth” and “The Story” can grow wider and wider. In the nearly thirty years since the murder of JonBenet Ramsey speculation has swirled around a number of suspects, including her closest family members.

On a snowy morning in December 1996, John and Patsy Ramsey awoke to find their entire world turned upside down as their beloved six year-old daughter JonBenet lay dead in the basement of their Colorado home. A decades-long media frenzy has swirled around this murder of a child beauty queen. Over the years many fingers have been pointed, but little answers have been found, and the mystery of who killed JonBenet Ramsey haunts the tabloids to this day. There comes a time in every podcast’s life where it must cover the JonBenet Ramsey case, and for Strange and Unexplained that time is now. Come see Strange and Unexplained on Tour!

Can a region absorb the dark energy of its historical monstrosities? Can land become innately evil, soil cursed by the wounds of violence? In Massachusetts the Bridgewater Triangle seems to be a vortex of the paranormal, perhaps created by horrific bloodshed that occurred centuries ago. The history of bloody conflict has given way to ghosts, UFOs, a wide variety of cryptids, satanic activity, and of course, murder most foul. On this episode we trudge into the swamps of the Bridgewater Triangle, and hope to come out in one piece on the other side… Come see Strange and Unexplained on Tour!

Does a monstrous society breed monsters? Hate can twist, contort and mutate into something truly evil within an individual, propelling them to do unspeakable things. In the 1970s, a serial killer stalked the clubs and lounges of San Francisco, targeting gay men. His darkly artistic trademark request to draw his would-be victims led to his nickname, “The Doodler.” His victims lived quietly in fear of being targeted, silenced due to their greater fear of societal discrimination. Fifty years later, the case of The Doodler remains unsolved. Come see Strange and Unexplained on Tour!

What is memory? The Oxford English Dictionary defines memory as the faculty by which the mind stores and remembers information. Or something remembered from the past; a recollection. But the OED doesn’t weigh in on the factual accuracy of those recollections, nor does it mention how or where memories are stored. Our current understanding is that they form and are stored in our brains. Our brains after all are the motherboards of our bodies, but what if memories could also live somewhere else within us?

Grief is a powerful thing. It's extremely personal and can make us act in ways unforeseen. So what happens when an entire nation experiences a loss, as they did in 1865 when President Lincoln was assassinated? The powers that were at the time decided to give the people an outlet for their grief with a small tour of part of the country featuring their dead president. It would be known as the Lincoln Ghost Train, which would serve as a public display of grief and all of it's strange and unexplained forms.  Come see Strange and Unexplained on Tour!

In the mid 1800s, Maggie and Kate Fox convinced the world that they could communicate with the dead. And, for a fee, they'd communicate with your dead through a séance.

18-year-old Joe Pichler had made it big in Hollywood as a kid, co-starring in movies like "Varsity Blues" and the "Beethoven" franchise. Taking a break to finish high school, Joe left Los Angeles and moved back to Bremerton, Washington with his family where he developed a strong friend group and was living a seemingly happy life. So it was a shock when on January 9, 2006, his family found his car abandoned on the side of the road with no trace of Joe. It turned out that he hadn't been seen for days and there were very few clues as to where he'd gone or what had happened to him. 

The cultural fear of vampires stretches back centuries throughout Europe, but in the continental U.S. it took seed from another fear entirely: tuberculosis. The New England Vampire Panic of the 19th-century was a reaction to a deadly disease so mysterious it needed a scapegoat.

In 1971, a man with sunglasses, a raincoat and a small attache case boarded a flight, lit a cigarette and calmly told his stewardess that he had a bomb and a handful of demands.
