In November of 1985, 67yr old Dexter Stefonek was driving back from his son's home in Oregon to his home in Wisconsin. During this long journey, Dexter decided to pull off at a rest area in Montana. That ended up being a fateful mistake. Dexter's burned car was found at the Bad Route Rest Area with no sign of Dexter. Four months later, his body was discovered at a landfill 17 miles from the rest area. Since 1985, the case has remained unsolved, but perhaps, that is about to change. Join us as we...
This week we take on the heartbreaking disappearance of 12yr old, Jared Negrete. Jared was hiking with his Boy Scout Troop on Mt. San Gorgonio, when he began to tire and, subsequently, fall behind the rest of his group. Once his group lost sight of him, he was never seen nor heard from again.

Perhaps the craziest, and most miraculous, aviation story ever. On April 28, 1988, a Boeing 737 flight suffered extensive damage after an explosive decompression in flight. This explosion lead to the fuselage tearing off mid flight, leaving passengers exposed to the elements at 24,000ft!!! From there, the story only gets crazier. Just us as we discuss the insane case of Flight 243 Doc: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYa7Fq5Ec6c&t=2151s
We’ll be discussing some very bizarre, and rather disturbing, lost media cases. As the name suggests, ‘lost media’ is a term used to describe media that is nonexistent, missing, or unavailable to the public. Media that has either been lost or hidden. Some of these pieces of media are highly unnerving and are honestly better left unseen. That’s exactly why we’ll have Chris take a look at all of them! Go back to Ep. 117 and check out volume I as a precursor to volume II
This week we head to a mysterious lighthouse that sits approximately 1.2 miles off the coast of Oregon. Tillamook Rock Lighthouse has seen its fair share of trouble since day one.

In 1946, 8yr old, Katherine Van Alst went missing from her family’s camp site in Devil’s Den State Park. In an unlikely twist, she was found alive 6 days later…but, get this, she was found 30+ miles away and 600ft higher in elevation than from the location she had gone missing. Search and rescue crews got a lucky break when Katherine calmly emerged from a nearby cave and simply said, “here I am!” That’s just the tip of this very bizarre iceberg. All may not be as it seems in this case.
This week we head to Watertown, NY to take a walk in a park. Unfortunately, for us, this is no ordinary park. We’re headed to Watertown’s infamous Thompson Park Interdimensional Vortex. The name pretty much says it all. As the story goes, somewhere in the park, is a supernatural vortex. This vortex is said to transport those who discover it to somewhere else in the park…..or even worse, to another dimension. For these reasons, and many more, it’s known as “Watertown’s Area 51.” Become a Patron: ...

Bit of a detour for episode 127. The haunted Nashville church will be episode 128. This week we’re headed to the clear blue skies over the UK to discuss one of the most terrifying mishaps in aviation history. You won’t believe this! In 1990, a British Airways flight, headed from the UK to Spain experienced something never seen before. As the aircraft was cruising at 23,000 feet, two of the six cockpit windows suddenly burst apart due to adverse air pressure effects. This led to captain Tim Lanca...
Episode 126: The Remarkable Survival Story of Poon Lim. This week we discuss the nearly impossible survival story of Poon Lim. On November 23 of 1942, Lin was serving as a steward on the SS Benlomond, a British cargo ship. Unfortunately, a German submarine torpedoed the Benlomond. This sent the vessel and it’s crew into the depths of the south Atlantic. From there, Lin’s story only gets crazier.

We’re in week #3 of Hudson Valley Horror Month, and this week we’ll be diving into the beautiful Hudson River to search for Kipsy. Kipsy is the name given to a reputed river monster living in the depths of the Hudson River. The Hudson is no stranger to having unusual guests. We’ve had sightings of manatees, dolphins, seals, and even a dogfish shark. Large Sturgeon also call the river home. However, all pale in comparison to the sightings of the very large unidentifiable cryptid, Kipsy. Could Kip...
Hudson Valley Horror Month continues when we pay a visit to Smalley’s Inn in Carmel, NY. Throughput the years, there have been a number of paranormal encounters reported to have taken place within the walls of this small Putnam County tavern.

Back in the 1800s, a gentleman was born with an abnormal condition. It seems Edward, was born with a face at the back of his head. According to legend, the face could whisper, laugh or cry. Mordake repeatedly begged doctors to remove it, claiming it whispered bad things to him at night. Mordake died by suicide at the age of 23. Now the question becomes, was this true or merely an urban legend. Join us as we discuss the truly bizarre case of ole Eddie Mordrake. Become a Patron: https://patron.pod...
This week we’re looking into the tragic story of Tilikum. Tilikum was an Orca who was captured in Iceland in 1983. He was taken from his family at only 2yrs old. From there, he was shifted around to various locations throughout North America until ultimately landing at Sea World in Orlando. As you could imagine, Tilikum didn’t take well to his new surroundings. He was seemingly bullied by the other orcas and caged in a 20x30ft cage during non-show times. This lead to the belief that Tilikum deve...
On December 7, 1927, the SS Kamloops, a Canadian lake freighter, seemingly vanished while navigating the treacherous waters of Lake Superior. Rescue and recovery attempts were unsuccessful. It wasn’t until 50 years later, when the wreckage of the SS Kamloops was found at the bottom of Lake Superior. Just off the coast of Isle Royale, Michigan. From that point forward, things only got increasingly more unnerving. The wreckage proved to be a time capsule. Basically frozen in time due to the cold t...
We have a really interesting one for you coming up in a few weeks. We’ll be discussing some very bizarre, and rather disturbing, lost media cases. As the name suggests, ‘lost media’ is a term used to describe media that is nonexistent, missing, or unavailable to the public. Media that has either been lost or hidden. Some of these pieces of media are highly unnerving and are honestly better left unseen. That’s exactly why we’ll have Chris take a look at all of them!
Buckle up, folks. This case is as bizarre and creepy as it gets. This week, we take on the missing person’s case of Joanna Lopez. The unnerving thing here is that many believe this young lady never even existed at all. On 1/14/89 as a Chicago NBC affiliate was going off air in the early morning hours after the conclusion of the national anthem, a bizarre missing person ad displayed on the screen. It was a very low quality, extremely non descriptive missing person poster of Joanna Lopez. As you c...
This week we take on one of our most bizarre cases to date. Urban legend or not, something is very unsettling about this tale. It seems that in 1972, a woman arrived at Cedar Senai hospital. She was covered in blood and wearing nothing more than a white gown. That’s not even the bad part. Apparently this “woman” had a mannequin-like appearance. That’s right. Although she could move her limbs about, she had absolutely no facial movements. Once the staff got her into a hospital bed, they noticed t...
The week, we head to Taos, New Mexico to examine “The Hum.” What’s the hum you say? Well, it’s a name given to widespread reports of a persistent and invasive low-frequency humming, rumbling, or droning noise audible to many but not all people. Sounds harmless enough, however, it’s driving some residents nuts!! This week we examine the possible causes….perhaps, the reason is much more darker than people think!
This week we head to Pont-Saint-Esprit, France to take a look at how/why the good citizens of this town collectively went mad one summer day! It seems that on August 16, 1951, which started off like any other day, I might add, one by one the residents of this southeastern French town reported feeling ill. Shortly after that, they began having bizarre delusions. Such as the feeling of snakes covering their bodies, as well as flowers growing out of their bodies. Some went so far as to attempt suic...
This week we take a look at one of the craziest “locked door” mysteries of all time. In 1929, in Harlem, 30yr old Isidor Fink was found murdered in his apartment in which many call the “perfect murder.” How is someone shot 3 times in their locked apartment, with no evidence of an intruder, a gun, absolutely nothing. Join us as we throw Chris in a locked room and see if he can make his way out. Unfortunately, for him things don’t go so well. Become a Patron: https://patron.podbean.com/betweenthec...
This week we cover perhaps the most haunted painting we’ve ever come across. This painting, entitled, “The Woman of the Rain” was painting by a Ukrainian artist who said she felt as if her hand was being controlled by a dark presence the entire 5hrs it took to complete the painting. As if that wasn’t bad enough, those that have come in contact with the painting claim to have experienced the following restlessness, nightmares, the sense of being watched, and the feeling that someone is living wit...
This week we head to Doveland, Wisconsin…..or do we? It seems that Doveland never really existed. However, there are many, and I mean many, confirm the existence of this town all the way into the early 1990s. Many people claim to have evidence of the town’s existence. Such as pictures (one shown here), mugs, shirts, etc. Our story only gets stranger from there. Especially when it comes to theories as to why Doveland no longer exists. They range from manmade destruction due to damming to military...
