Lose Your Mind

There is a time in our lives when everything and everyone seems harmless. When the world is mostly a mystery and the simple aspects of life are all that matter. If we're fortunate enough, our parents are watching over us and creating a comforting sense of security. But parents can't be around their kids 24/7, they have to work and sometimes they have to play too. There is a fraction of time that sees us as children left under the supervision of friends, family, or sometimes even total strangers... During those small periods of temporary trust we are at their mercy. Join us this week for the Odd News as we explore the first episode of our two part special; Shitty Sitters. 

This week because of our holiday layoff, we are uploading a vintage episode that reviews the most traumatic and horrible deaths caught on film in the deplorable shockumentary "Traces of Death IV: Resurrection." Not to be confused with the Faces of Death franchise, viewing this disgusting DVD left both Mike and Aron scarred for life during this episode of the now defunct spinoff podcast "Reel Judgements." We hope you enjoy this special vintage episode that truly changed our lives. 

Nicknamed "Pee Wee" due to his short stature, there was nothing short or small about the gruesome mayhem that Donald Henry Gaskins brought into the world. Spawned by a broken family, Gaskins fermented in a pool of perversion before his mental framework was erected. Violence, robbery, and rape were common themes in Gaskins' childhood, which he embraced en route to adulthood. In and out of juvenile detention centers and prison, looking back it was anything but a surprise that he matured into a cold blooded murderer. The acts of unforgivable savagery and horror are stomach-churning. Join us this week, if you dare, for Pee Wee's magical murder spree...

The cutting off of ones manhood is less rare than you think but only occasionally publicized. We all remember the dismembered member of John Wayne Bobbit, but in this wince-inducing episode we set our sights on few severed sausages with a lesser known brand names. What happens afterwards? How will these men continue life? The motivation and outcomes of these gory attacks varies but the results are all the same; the agonizing separation of men and their willies. 

The internet can be used for a variety of things, ranging from the mundane regularity of simple office work to keeping in contact with your family and friends. It can also be used for much darker and more nefarious purposes. It can stream disturbing depictions perviously unseen straight into your handheld mobile device or television completely unfiltered. This week on the Odd News we take a look at two different cases where death was streamed to both unaware viewers and even more sinisterly, viewers that salivated over the violence and even encouraged it. Prepare yourself for utter HD filth and depravity as we channel pure horror and broadcast...

THE DEATH STREAM.

This week on the Evil Examined Podcast we invite one of our listeners on to discuss multiple near death experiences and other paranormal happenings. Brian Wemesfelder was just driving down the road with his wife until suddenly, moments later, he was vaulted through the windshield and launched onto the concrete ripping all the flesh off of the front of his skull. After flatlining in the ambulance, he would go on a bizarre journey into the sky and view a plethora of otherworldly sights. Years later, while in a much darker place, he would crash his motorcycle and have a second near death experience that would be of a more sinister and disturbing variety. Brian believes he may have seen a glimpse of both heaven and hell. Additionally, he takes us through some of his psychic experiences in helping people find deceased or missing loved ones and shares the story of a disturbing force in one of the houses he lived in that ended with a horrifying atrocity.  

This week we bring you a second special signature episode recorded directly from the infamous Conjuring House.  The setting for one of the more successful haunted house/possession movies in recent cinema, the Conjuring House has allegedly been the site of many inexplicable happenings ranging from inhuman movements, to bloody surprises, to disgusting smells, to inanimate objects flying, to vicious attacks. In this first episode we detail our initial tour of this creepy old house and outline some of the details from Andrea Perron's books House of Darkness House of Light (volumes 1-3). Andrea Perron was the eldest daughter living in the house when many of these otherworldly events occurred,  eventually causing Ed and Lorraine Warren to launch their demonic investigation. Also, learn if our attempts to contact the dead were successful...

This week on our Halloween Hangover edition we review the disgusting and warped story of Sylvia Likens. Imagine you're sixteen-years-old and left by your carney parents at a strangers house to be cared for. It's a simple deal, they send a few dollars to cover your expenses and you are looked after. But what if the money stopped coming in and the people that were looking after you didn't truly have you best interest in mind. What if they despised you and enjoyed watching you suffer. What if they took deep pleasure inflicting pain on you? In one of our most grueling conversations we trace over the torturous final month in the life of Sylvia Likens, in which atrocity after atrocity was committed against her. 

In our special Samhain edition we take a look at five rotten Halloween horror stories about both tricks and treats. Some so disturbing and unbelievable it's difficult to comprehend how they could have happened. Ask yourself how showing up for a party at the wrong house can lead to the murder of a harmless child? Witness a lesbian love triangle that ends in violent fashion on All Hallows Eve. Hear the terrifying story of a girl that believed she was being followed in the darkness by deranged stalker. Digest the tale of a disturbed man losing his mind when when a hooker steals his Halloween candy stash. Lastly, one of the sickest Halloween murders of all time. Fueled by pure evil  a pair of maniacs destroy a young girl with various tools... 

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...

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...
