Lose Your Mind

Imagine you're 16 and on your way home from an overnight party with friends. You finally arrive home after the long evening and pull the front door of your house open and see your dad sitting in a chair, well part of him... Actually his head has been decapitated and placed in a bowl of punch which is sitting in the chair. This is what Ryan Brooks stumbled upon during the autumn season in Bellaire Ohio back in 1985. The gruesome act was the tipping point in a series of disturbing events that would lead to a small town canceling Halloween due to fears of a conspiracy that a cult of devil worshipping satanic maniacs were attempting to hunt them down. No one was safe, no one knew who the next target might be. Join us this week for the night that Halloween was canceled, as well as two other stories about Halloween traditions that went horribly wrong. From your friends at Evil Examined Happy Halloween...

You're laying in bed late at night relaxing after a hard day of work when suddenly outside your window you hear the deafening noise of helicopter blades cutting through the cold night air, blinding lights blast through your window and relentless automatic gunfire erupts in the city streets. This is America, war doesn't just happen unannounced in the dead of night, or does it? In addition to black helicopter incidents we take a look at the disturbing multigenerational effects that Agent Orange continues to have on both Vietnam and the soldiers who fought there. As an additional bonus we discuss a vile pest referred to as the kissing bug and a vomit inducing medical fad that has since gone out of style... 

Picture waking up one day and the man or woman lying beside you in bed is not who they seem. They look, talk and act exactly how you remember them but deep down you know the truth. They're an imposter. A devious doppelgänger that has somehow bewitched your loved one and there's only one way to save them. Only murdering the evil rendition will bring back your significant other... Welcome to Capgras Delusion. Also, speaking of murder, what can drive a man to take the life of his own child? What about five of his own children for that matter? Every human seems to have a braking point. Some imaginary line in the sand that once crossed, will cause horrifying events to manifest in one's reality. Meet a man pushed so far to the edge that even his own babies aren't safe...

There’s a lot of awesome moms out there, many awesome ladies that would give their life to protect their child. But what about the ones that aren't so pure? There's always an opposite side of the spectrum. A dark, disturbing, sinister side... This week we take a look at a pair of depraved mothers that are pure evil. The unspeakable acts they committed against their children are so horrifying that it’s hard to believe that they even happened. 
This pair of demonic mommies will likely make us appreciate are own more so than ever. We examine the crime of 27-year-old Krystle Villanueva who cut her young daughter's head off for simply asking for a bowl of cereal. If that is not nasty enough, we will also discuss Ka Yang, the 34-year-old Californian who cooked her one month old baby in a microwave. Join us for the details of a Cereal Killer and nauseating Microwave Massacre if you dare...

When we hear people recount their near death experiences many are able to communicate vivid details of what they believe to be heaven but what about those whose karma didn’t earn their entry into the pearly gates? What about those who saw hell instead... Take the disturbing case of Matthew Botsford who in March of 1992 was minding his own god damn business after finishing up a meal inside a restaurant before being shot in the head with an uzi and vaulted into a horrifying 27 day coma. The morbid and demonic things that he was forced to endure and witness forever impacted him. Join us this week as we go to hell... 

This weeks episode has it all, strange creatures with unearthly powers that seem indestructible no matter how savage the opposition is. Bizarre portals opening up in the sky and leading to only God knows where. Shapeshifters able to melt and remold, transforming into the wickedest creations. Mutilated animals destroyed by a diabolical force, and of course some unidentifiable flying craft sailing through the pinkish skies looking down upon us. This week prepare for an experience like no other, journey with us to the infamous Skinwalker Ranch...

What do you think of when you hear the word saint? Would a saint steal? Would a saint lie? Would a saint kill a woman? This week on the Forbidden Five we go though a list of saints from a sinister side of the spectrum. One's with sins and skeletons that will raise your eyebrows and leave you question your faith. These ain't your father's saints... or are they? Should they be famous or infamous? Are they worthy of the reverence of the masses or just scum from the gutter like all of us?

This week we take a look at some particularly disturbing Odd News that ranges from strange, to disgusting, to downright heinous. First we dive into an alarming series of horse mutilations that are plaguing the beautiful green pastures in France. Could it be the work of a sinister cult of horse-hackers? Then we discuss a family that showed their love a little too deeply, in the recent case of an incestuous romance between a 63-year-old mother, and her 43-year-old son. The duo of deranged family flames could be facing an extraordinary prison sentence. Lastly, a twisted New Jersey couple commits unspeakable acts against their newborn baby...

Feeling a little warm? Well this week we raise the temperature to explosive, ash inducing conditions. What if you went to the store for a pack of smokes and when you returned your mom looked like an ashtray? A boneless pile of soot that would have been better suited for a fireplace. SHC can allegedly happen to anyone, anywhere, at any time. Some of the sweat worthy cases that we cover seem like they may have a means of explanation, while others are far more difficult to rationalize. Join us this week as we try to decide if SHC is real, or if the people telling these tales are just blowing smoke up our asses... 

This week on the Odd News we discuss the bizarre case of Mercy Brown. After both her mother and sister died of consumption, Mercy and her brother Edwin fell ill. Eventually the 19-year-old New England girl died on January 17, 1892. The locals became convinced that Mercy was rising from the grave and feeding on her sick brother, helping continue to foster his illness. The only way to be able to know for sure is if they dug up her graved and checked... In addition we discuss the recent online murder confession of pro wrestler Marty Jannetty. Known for posting strange statements on his social media accounts this time Marty is being investigated by the police, but the real question is, should we have mercy on Marty?

Is Andrew Basiago going to be the future president? Did he time travel to Lincoln's speech and witness the Gettysburg Address? Basiago claimed that between 1962-’72 the U.S. government ran a covert op called Project Pegasus. They crafted futuristic technologies such as teleportation and physical time travel. Did he travel to Mars via teleportation over forty times? Did he build a rapport with extraterrestrials? Does he believe in Sasquatch? Will the future president of the United States be this bizarre man, and if so, would we be worse off? This week we try to answer these questions and share our own strange ramblings about the enlightenment we achieved via near death experience...

The Belgian UFO Wave and the mysterious disappearance of Frederick Valentich are two examples of inexplicable strange sky phenomena. One event that spread over a two year period and was witnessed by thousands while the other was a singular event which became a frightened pilot's final testament. Lastly Chicago's 2006 O'Hare Airport UFO sighting saw a massive metallic disc hover over various airport personnel before vanishing in seconds and punching a hole through the overcast. Accompany us into the clouds this week as we being our three part trilogy with 10 year Air Traffic Control veteran "John the Aviator" and break down the most credible UFO cases in history.

Then last but certainly not least, the 2007 sighting of a pair of gigantic yellow UFOs over the English Channel that were witnessed by multiple pilots. 

In the final volume of our trilogy we put the magnifying glass on the famous Phoenix Lights incident that transpired in 1997. An event that left residents so awestruck it stopped baseball games in progress as a massive silent black craft overtook the skies above frightened townsfolk. Additionally we look at the Hudson Valley UFO wave and answer the question; have government fighter pilots ever fired on UFOs? All that leading up to an analysis of the most recent event in which the United States Government confirmed the existence of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena...
