Lose Your Mind

A sad day for Evil Examined. Sorry to everyone, I wish it could be different.

As promised, this week we bring you back to the place where dreams die and hope fades away. Where a rancid evil lurks with reckless abandon and sinister motive. If you enjoyed our Extra Evil episode "Going to Hell" from a few months ago, then buckle up and find you best flame retardant garments, because this week we are headed back. This trip promises to be just as painful and horrifying as the first. Get ready to BURN IN HELL...

At a young and impressionable age we look to our parents to guide us though the early years. To help us get our footing and understand right from wrong, and appropriate from inappropriate. But during those critical developmental years, there are others that also have a profound impact on us. A picture box that is the potential gateway to anything and everything: Television. This week we take a look at those who chose to integrate themselves into careers that, by default, entangled them with a younger and naive audience. Was it simply because they enjoyed being around children? Or do their choices have a more nefarious reasoning behind them?

This week's Odd News segment is filled with weirdness, melancholic atmosphere, and downright sickening content. In honor of woman's month, learn about the bizarre case of a woman who had a strange side effect attached to her monthly mensuration. Learn one of our own guests bizarre techniques to combat the monthly purge. Learn the story of a man in Japan whose wife went missing after a devistating tsunami. He's been searching for her for decades without fail, what are the odds he might ever see her again? And lastly, the sickest headline of them all: The Vile Vet.

A question we as a society often find ourselves asking is; is an individuals moral fiber determined at conception or is it molded by their experiences? The nature verses nurture argument is as old as curiosity. If someone has horrific and ghastly acts committed against them, does it then excuse them in perpetuating the cycle? Probably not, but if not, then does it at least make you consider them in a different light? These are the questions you will need to ask yourself when considering the rough life and times of one of the most notorious female serial killers in history...

Possession is a long debated topic; can your body be controlled by another force? Spiritually it's still a debate, but this week we discuss the indisputable chemical reality. Horror stories of hallucinations and altered states of mind that pushed everyone, from your average everyday citizens looking to dip their toes into hard drugs, to the frequent habitual users that took on a dose that was too heavy, into pure pandemonium. These drug fueled rampages are ones that we can all be thankful that did not happen to be on the warpath for. It probably sounds like a public service announcement but it's really just the disturbing truth. Prepare yourself for the worst as we examine these terrible tweakers!

This week on the Odd News we discuss the dognapping of Lady Gaga's pups. A robbery clearly gone wrong that left her dog walker shot in the chest. Additionally, we discuss what it was like to visit the now defunct and highly bizarre religious theme park in Connecticut called "Holy Land." Amid the ruins of the rotting religious symbolism lays a darker story. One that took place near a 50 ft tall cross between a young girl and an older guy she thought was her friend. Learn the horrific events that transpired there and also get a first hand account of what the strange park is like.

Enter a house that harbors filth of an unspeakable nature. Enter a house that is the cornerstone of neglect and the pillar or perversion. Enter a house where the occupants inside have depravity in their DNA... those that are still alive anyway. This week in a special bonus episode, in celebration of "The Slob" being nominated for the Splatterpunk Awards, horror author Daniel Volpe joins in on this discussion. We review the rather disturbing case of the Massachusetts House of Horrors incident. It doesn't get much more disgusting than this. 

During the evening hours of May 23rd, 2014 Elliot Rodger murdered six people in cold-blooded and disturbing fashion. Then when confronted by police he turned his gun on himself and joined the body count that he'd helped accumulated. Why would young man that came from a wealthy family, and that was enrolled in college with his entire life still ahead of him commit such unspeakable acts? The answer is simple but shocking; Elliot Rodger just wanted a girlfriend. He felt shunned by society's feminine populous and couldn't understand why a 'supreme gentleman' such as himself wouldn't be sought after. He felt entitled to have any woman he wanted, the only problem was that none of them felt the same way...

When you hear the words "Witness Protection" most people think, based on movies, books, and other media, that they understand what the program offers and its overall purpose. But often the true details of what being under witness protection is really like never make the scenes of glorified Hollywood version of events. This week we learn about cases that didn't turn out how most would assume, and even in some circumstances allowed perverse killers to flourish. A man needed protection from the dark criminal underbelly that he'd willingly become a part of. But yet, that same protection was not offered to the unsuspecting general public when a man with a sinister past was plucked and dropped into a completely oblivious community...

No matter how much time we spend trying to keep our children safe and out of harm's way they will always be vulnerable. The creature comforts that have come to be embedded in our DNA are too convenient and important to shun due to their relatively sporadic risks. It is simply impossible now to imagine a world that's not at your fingertips. But make no mistake about it, that comes with a cost... Strangers are in your children's bedrooms, phones, and earbuds. Influencing their actions, manipulating their motions, and spreading evil. This week we take a look at some nefarious beings who sought to introduce a bizarre new game that spread like a disease to the youth. One that only ends once they're dead...

During the new year we all tend to think about the future. We think about what comes next. We think about what we can change about ourselves to make us better. We think about ways that we can make circumstances better for our families and friends. We attempt to evolve to a form that is superior to the prior year's version. But not everyone sees it that way. There are others who will aim to continue their gutter-dwelling goon-like ways. Others who will continue to be selfish and horrible people. Others who look at human life like it's expendable. This week we take a look at a couple of cases of scum like this. Because sadly, regardless of how you aim to be a better human, there will always be those who are ready to put a hot bullet into that new wrinkle that your brain just adopted. 

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. 

This week we are rejoined by 10 year Air Traffic Control veteran "John the Aviator" to examined a few more shockingly credible UFO cases. We finish up our discussion on the 2006 O'Hare Airport sighting and transition into the unnerving 1982 case of Portuguese Air Force pilot Julio Guerra. 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...
