Ep. 71 – The Octopus

The mysterious death of journalist Danny Casolaro and his investigation into the organization he called The Octopus.

In 1991, the body of a journalist named Danny Casolaro was found in a West Virginia hotel room with slashed wrists and a suicide note nearby. It turns out, before his death, Danny Casolaro was investigating what he believed was a vast conspiracy involving a shadowy criminal organization he called The Octopus. Was his death a suicide as police ruled? Or was he murdered?

Ep. 70 – The Lost and Found

The history of people who have gone missing in the national parks
New episode!
The national parks system is sometimes called the greatest idea in the history of America. But there’s a dark side to the parks as well. For hundreds of years, people have mysteriously disappeared in the national parks, something that former police officer David Paulides has catalogued in his Missing 411 books. In this episode we discuss some of the creepiest stories, and the legends and history behind those stories.
