Strange and Unexplained with Daisy Eagan

In 1967, Australian Prime Minister Harold Holt disappeared while swimming off Cheviot Beach. Given he was an avid swimmer it seemed unlikely that he would drown, no matter how rough the seas were. No one actually saw him go under and his body was never found… so the question remains: is it possible the Prime Minister disappeared intentionally?

In the early 1900s, Harry Price was the preeminent psychical researcher of the English spiritualism movement. His meticulous research took him all across Europe, usually culminating in series of experiments at his purpose-built, fraud-proofed psychical lab.

Bubble, bubble, toil and lots of trouble. The Puritanical witch hunt of Salem, Massachusetts took the lives of 19 innocent people as one of the most dramatic instances of scapegoating in American history. Was there something in the rye?

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.
