Between The Cracks

Doveland, Wisconsin

Episode 110: The Town That DisappearedThis 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.

Gef The Talking Mongoose

This week we head to the Isle of Man 🇮🇲 to take on the tale of a talking mongoose named “Gef.” Naturally, you’d assume, that this is nothing but an urban legend, etc…..but once we dug a little deeper, the story becomes more and more unnerving. Dare I even say, believable?!! Join us this week as we interrogate Gef and get to the bottom of this, once and for all.

The Haunted John Copcutt Mansion

This week we travel to Yonkers, NY to take a look at the haunted John Copcutt Mansion. Copcutt, a wealthy industrialist, constructed the mansion was in 1854. After his death, the mansion was purchased by St. Casimir's Church. It was soon converted into a convent, and then later a rectory. From the onset on construction, the locals seem put off by some bizarre paranormal force. However, when the church took over, things only intensified.
