The Disappearance of Joanna Lopez

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 can see, the picture itself offers little in way of identification of this young lady.The screen remains as is, with this photo, no voice-over explaining the case, nothing but a phone number of the Chicago police missing children division. The image stayed on the channel for hours with nothing but the eerie sound of static in the background.From there, it only gets weirder. Till this day, no one has been able to identify Joanna Lopez. That is, if she even existed at all.

The Expressionless

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 that her face seemed to have some bizarre human-like mask covering. From there, things only got worse!!! Join us next week as we take on the legend of The Expressionless.

The Taos Hum

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!

Pont-Saint-Esprit: The Town That Went Mad

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 suicide. Deaths were even reported!Theories range from a bacteria ridden flour used on bread baked in the town to a bizarre CIA experiment.Join us  as we send Chris to France to nibble on some marbled rye!

Isidor Fink

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.

The “Woman Of The Rain” Painting

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 within their home. On one particularly unnerving event, someone encountered a shadow that resembled the woman in the rain lurking about their apartment. Join us  as we discuss this horrifying painting. Then we discuss the troubling painting I have within the walls of my own home. Troubling times……indeed.

Doveland, Wisconsin : The Town That Vanished

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 science experiment gone wrong to, the existence of a wormhole or some type of parallel universe. We’ll examine each and everyone of these theories.Join us next week as Blueballs and I send Chris directly into the eye of the storm. That’s right, Chris is headed to Loveland to report his findings!

Andrew Carlssin : The Time Traveling Insider Trader

his week we’re taking on the bizarre case of stock trader, Andrew Carlssin. In 2003, the FBI arrested Andrew on suspiciousion of insider trading. That was after he turned $800 into $350 million in a few months on the stock exchange. Apparently he invested in over 150 high risk stocks. Hitting on all of them.Upon his arrest, and subsequent interrogation, Andrew claimed that his remarkable success was due to the fact that he was indeed a time traveler from the year 2256. This obviously seems like bullshit. However, Andrew provided police with upcoming dates on world events that have yet to happen. His “predictions” happened to be spot on!!!The story only gets stranger from there. Andrew was released on $1 million dollar bail paid for from an unnamed individual. At that point Andrew simply vanished. He was never seen nor heard from again!Police searched all possible avenues on Andrew’s background. They never found any evidence of his existence prior to his 2003 arrest. For all intents and purposes, he was a ghost!!!Criminal or time traveler? We’ll find out. Join us this week for this remarkable story!

Sam The Sandown Clown

This week we head to the Isle of Wight to take on one of the most bizarre "extraterrestrial" encounters of all time. In 1973, two young children came across this 7ft tall, robot-like creature in an isolated meadow. This friendly being introduced himself as "Sam" and he proceeds to tell the children he is not of this earth. However, all  may not be as it seems with Sam. Perhaps he wasn't as friendly and innocent as he seemed. Could it be that Sam had much more sinister intentions in mind...that is, if he really even existed! Join us this week as we take on Sam the Sandown Clown.
