Strange and Unexplained with Daisy Eagan

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?

Could you identify when you were under attack, even if you couldn’t see it?

Out of nowhere they’re struck by invisible vibrations and overwhelming pressure to the head, causing extreme dizziness, temporary blindness and memory loss, known as Havana Syndrome.

Does life imitate art? Does Bart imitate life? Does Homer know more than he’s letting on?? Despite being a work of fiction and, yes, a cartoon, in 34 years on the air The Simpsons seem to have predicted the future a truly astounding number of times. We’ve all heard that truth is stranger than fiction, but is it possible that our most absurd and speculative fiction could come true?

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.

Her groundbreaking songs poised her for greatness, but soon the male-dominated scene spearheaded by the likes of Bob Dylan had sucked out all the air around her. Connie Converse never got her due. Then she disappeared without a trace, never to be seen again.

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.

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.
