Episodes

In February 1993, Air Force officer Gary Sudbrink received a series of eerie phone calls at his parents’ home in New York. The voice on the line—mechanical, distorted—seemed to know intimate details about Gary’s life and warned him of hidden dangers. The calls came shortly after a UFO sighting and left behind a chilling mystery: who, or what, was really on the other end of the line? This is the unsettling true story of the Gary Sudbrink case—a tale of strange voices, unexplained knowledge, and the lingering fear that someone was watching.SURVEYObscurata Discussed FACEBOOK GROUPThe BOOKBY US A COFFEESubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITESource Information:https://www.thinkaboutitdocs.com/1993-gary-sudbrink-incident/https://www.ufocasebook.com/texasufophonecall.htmlhttps://www.phantomsandmonsters.com/2020/05/the-gary-sudbrink-incident-are-ets.htmlhttps://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/10y73lm/the_gary_sudbrink_incident/https://www.ufoinsight.com/ufos/cover-ups/the-gary-sudbrink-incidenthttps://mysterioustimes.com/2020/09/the-unexplained-case-of-gary-sudbrink-and-the-strange-phone-calls/https://www.ufosfootage.uk/2021/03/the-bizarre-case-of-gary-sudbrink-and.htmlThanks so much for listening, and I'll catch up with you again next Thursday.Sarah & Rog xxSURVEY https://podcastsurvey.typeform.com/to/mDi5IVFf Hosted on Acast.

In the shadow of Lion Rock, the seaside village of Piha has become the setting for one of New Zealand’s most unsettling mysteries. Since 1992, six people have vanished without a trace along its black-sand beaches and windswept cliffs — including a young woman last seen speaking to a streetlight before walking into the night. Some cases hint at tragic missteps, others at something far more sinister. With theories ranging from mental illness to murder to Māori legend, the Black Coast Vanishings have left a community divided and afraid. This is the story of Piha — a place where beauty hides danger, and people disappear.SURVEYObscurata Discussed FACEBOOK GROUPThe BOOKBY US A COFFEESubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITESource Information:https://www.odt.co.nz/lifestyle/magazine/black-coast-vanishingshttps://www.hauntedauckland.com/site/piha-beach-hauntings/https://justwatch.com/nz/tv-show/the-black-coast-vanishingshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Iraena_Asherhttps://newzealandmissing.wordpress.com/2015/08/10/cherie-vousden-missing-person-piha-2012/https://interactives.stuff.co.nz/2019/05/black-coast-vanishings/https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/black-coast-vanishings-why-do-people-go-missing-in-piha/6G7WAVU2W5EVDK2AGT2AIKQZSM/Thanks so much for listening, and I'll catch up with you again next Tuesday.Sarah & Rog xxSURVEY https://podcastsurvey.typeform.com/to/mDi5IVFf Hosted on Acast.

In 1976, the small town of Circleville, Ohio began receiving anonymous letters - threatening, accusing, and frightening in their knowledge of the private lives of the community. Over the next two decades, the mysterious writer exposed secrets, predicted tragedies, and turned neighbour against neighbour. When a deadly trap was discovered and a man went to prison, the letters continued, raising the question: was the real author ever caught? This is the story of the Circleville Letters - a case where fear arrived not in the night, but in the mail.SURVEYObscurata Discussed FACEBOOK GROUPThe BOOKBY US A COFFEESubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITESource Information:https://www.cbsnews.com/news/circleville-letters-ohio-rumors-secrets/https://www.cbsnews.com/news/circleville-letters-author-unmask/https://www.cbsnews.com/pictures/circleville-letters-mail-gallery/https://www.cbsnews.com/video/the-circleville-letters/https://unsolved.com/gallery/poison-pen-murder/Thanks so much for listening, and I'll catch up with you again next Tuesday.Sarah & Rog xxSURVEY https://podcastsurvey.typeform.com/to/mDi5IVFf Hosted on Acast.

In November 1928, a quiet Pennsylvania farming community was shaken to its core when a respected local man was brutally murdered in his own home—stabbed, beaten, and set on fire. His killers claimed he was a witch, casting spells that had cursed their lives. What followed was a chilling descent into superstition, folk magic, and fear — a murder born not of greed or hatred, but of a deep belief in hexes, curses, and dark rural lore. This is the story of the Hex Hollow Witch Murder.SURVEYObscurata Discussed FACEBOOK GROUPThe BOOKBY US A COFFEESubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITESource Information:https://www.americanhauntingsink.comhttps://www.thesquonkandthehag.comThanks so much for listening, and I'll catch up with you again next Tuesday.Sarah & Rog xxSURVEY https://podcastsurvey.typeform.com/to/mDi5IVFf Hosted on Acast.

In August 2016, an ordinary Australian family of five vanished without warning, abandoning their phones, passports, and sense of reality.

Part 3. In 1959, the icy slopes of Russia’s Ural Mountains became the stage for one of the most chilling cold-case mysteries in modern history when nine experienced hikers vanished in the dead of winter. What rescuers found weeks later—bodies scattered, tents shredded from within, and strange injuries defying logic—hinted at a night of terror shaped by forces neither natural nor entirely understood.SURVEYObscurata Discussed FACEBOOK GROUPThe BOOKBY US A COFFEESubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITESource Information:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyatlov_Pass_incidenthttps://www.history.com/news/dyatlov-pass-incident-soviet-hiker-deathshttps://dyatlovpass.comhttps://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/has-an-old-soviet-mystery-at-last-been-solvedhttps://www.nature.com/articles/s43247-021-00120-0https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/scientists-may-have-solved-dyatlov-pass-incident-180976957/https://www.bbc.com/reel/video/p08sy0fb/the-dyatlov-pass-incidenthttps://www.kp.ru (search “Dyatlov” or “Zolotaryov” for archives)Thanks so much for listening, and I'll catch up with you again on Thursday.Sarah & Rog xxSURVEY https://podcastsurvey.typeform.com/to/mDi5IVFf Hosted on Acast.
