Strange and Unexplained with Daisy Eagan

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. Over a century later, the mystery remains: was this monster truly a lunatic on the loose, or merely an urban legend?  This Week's Sponsors:  Manukora - Head to manukora.com/STRANGE and use code STRANGE to get a free pack of compostable honey sticks with your order!  Cerebral - Go to cerebral.com/STRANGE for 50% or more off your first month of therapy!  Lumi - To learn more about microdosing THC go to microdose.com and use code STRANGE to get free shipping & 30% off your first order  

In 1974, The Lady of the Dunes was discovered dead on the beach in Provincetown, Massachusetts. Who was she? How did she end up on the beach? And what monster was behind her gruesome murder?

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. The sisters became so famous for their private, as well as public, readings, that an entire new religion--Spiritualism--was ushered in to make sense (and profits) of it all. It was all going so well. The were rich and world famous. What could possibly go wrong? Come see Strange and Unexplained on Tour!
