Strange and Unexplained with Daisy Eagan

In 1967, a 50-year-old Canadian mechanic took a weekend trip to one of his favorite spots for rock collecting about 100 miles east of Winnipeg.  Unfortunately for Stephen Michalak, the weekend getaway turned out to be anything but relaxing. Michalak returned from Falcon Lake a shell of a man, covered in mysterious burns and recounting a tale that would become Canada’s best documented UFO case.  This Week's Sponsors: Grammarly - Go to grammarly.com/PODCAST to download for FREE today Microdose - Get 30% off your first order plus free shipping today at Microdose.com promo code STRANGE  Ritual - Get 20% off your first month for a limited time at ritual.com/STRANGE Cook Unity - Go to cookunity.com/DAISY and enter code DAISY before checkout to get 50% off your first week

Payton, Morgan, and Anissa, three average tween girls from Waukesha, Wisconsin shared a love of fantasy, science fiction, scary stories and video games. But beneath the surface of seemingly mundane, somewhat nerdy interests, lay something sinister. Unbeknownst to Payton, Morgan and Anissa had begun to be sucked into the dark side of internet lore. The girls believed that a being called Slenderman was waiting for them to pledge their allegiance to his dark lordship, and what he wanted most was for the girls to kill.  This Week's Sponsor:  Smalls - For 50% off your first order, head to Smalls.com/STRNAGE and use code STRANGE.

Some mysteries seem impossible, but few actually are. But with no logical explanation to be found, could you solve the unsolvable? Is there even such a thing? Today we look at two impossible cases. First, a man is found shot to death with three bullet wounds in his body, alone, with no gun, inside a locked and bolted room. What happened? Any guesses? How about this one: a woman boards a completely empty train car very much alive. Less than a minute later the still-empty train car pulls into the next station. Somehow she has been stabbed in the back, still alone in the car and now very much dead. Who done it? Your guess is as good as ours.  This Week's Sponsors: 3 Day Blinds - Right now you can get 3 Day Blinds buy one get one 50% off deal on custom blinds, shades, shutters, and drapery.

Since the early 1800’s, tenants have reported strange bumps in the night at the residence of Borley Rectory. Objects mysteriously move and doors lock on their own, scrawled writing appears on walls of empty rooms, a centuries-old nun walks the misty gardens, and long-dead residents seem to cozy up in their former bedrooms. The hauntings spanned generations until our old pal Harry Price came to town and put the Rectory through his psychical research tests… would Borley pass?

A conman can only be as good as the systems that prop him up, and in the case of Richard Walter that happened to be the very system he was defrauding. Through lies and omissions, and a fake twinge of an English accent, Walter convinced the powers that be within the US Justice System that he was a subject matter expert in all things criminal, despite the fact that he had no real training or experience to speak of. Walter’s so-called ‘expert’ testimonies led to false convictions and destroyed lives, all for the glory of one man who wanted to be at the center of it all.  This Week's Sponsors: Grammarly - Go to grammarly.com/PODCAST to download for free today Embrace - Head to embracepetinsurance.com/STRANGE to sign up for pet insurance today Cook Unity - Go to cookunity.com/STRANGE and enter code STRANGE before checkout for 50% off your first week Smalls - Head to smalls.com/STRANGE and use promo code STRANGE at checkout for 50% off your first order PLUS free shipping

We humans are made of a hodge-podge of parts that sometimes feels like they were designed by someone with a dark sense of humor. It is amazing, and frankly terrifying how little we actually do understand about the inner workings of our bodies. From vestigal twins and disappearing tumors, to x-ray vision and picking up radio waves with your teeth, its no wonder that some people believe in gods and demons. In some cases, no amount of science can explain the bizarre unknown of the human body.

What if you could go back in time? When you got back, would you tell everyone you’d done it? Would anyone believe you? In the summer of 1901, two well-to-do women went for a stroll in the gardens of Versailles and claimed to have slipped back in time. They witnessed scores of people dressed in the garb of the French Revolution and even claimed to have interacted with Marie Antoinette herself. Could it be possible they truly had stepped through the garden gate and back into history?  This Week's Sponsors:  Cook Unity - Go to cookunity.com/STRANGE or enter code STRANGE before checkout for 50% off your first week  GreenPan - Head to greenpan.us and use promo code STRANGE and you'll receive 30% off your entire order plus free shipping on orders over $99  Microdose - To learn more about microdosing THC go to microdose.com and use code STRANGE to get free shipping and 30% off your first order 

In the early 1990s a mysterious new creature burst onto the cryptid scene, first terrorizing Puerto Rico then the Southwestern US. The menace attacked and killed animals and livestock with vampiric ferocity, earning itself the name “Chupacabra”. Witnesses claimed it looked like an alien mixed with a kangaroo, with leopard spots, chicken hands, wolf feet, and dinosaur spikes. Could this monster be real? Or was the Chupacabra merely a goat-eating figment of our worst imagination?

Is it bad vibes? Evil energy? Trapped souls? What is it that makes one place seem to attract more tragedy than others? In the early 1900’s the Dudgeon family took up residence on a swampy swath of land in White Cloud, Michigan. During their tenure on the land, their bullish behavior and unsavory deeds caused chaos, ended lives, and turned the Dudgeon Swamp into a place feared by locals to this day.
