The Watcher

We've finally made it to 100 episodes! For the special event we take a look back at one of our earlier episodes, "The Watcher." With the recent success of the new series by the same name, we're going to be comparing the series to the real life events!
For those not familiar with the story, here is our original synopsis: In 2014, a New Jersey family purchased their dream home. Unfortunately, it turned into the stuff of nightmares. As soon as they moved in, they began receiving bizarre letters. Letters that revealed that they were indeed being watched. Through time, the letters became more ominous. So much so that the family were forced to sell their home at a nearly $500k loss. The perpetrator still remains unknown to this day. This is a creepy one!

The Devil’s Tree

This week we head to Bernards Township in Somerset County, New Jersey, to discuss, what the locals refer to as, the Devil’s Tree. Legend has it that this tree is cursed and if anyone who dares to disrespect it, great tragedies will soon befall them. Sounds unbelievable, BUT…this starts to make more sense once we tell you the atrocities that took place on and near this tree.

The Baker Hotel & The Haunted Hill House

This week we're headed to Mineral Wells, Texas to take a look at two of the most haunted locations in the state. The best part, they're right down the road from each other. We'll be discussing the legendary Baker Hotel and the infamous Haunted Hill House. Wish us luck!

Reincarnation: The Case of James Leininger

 
Perhaps the most compelling reincarnation claim of all time. Next week, we examine the case of James Leininger. Born in 1998, James, by the age of two on, began to recall various events that he said took place in his life. Obviously, at such a young age, this would impossible……..or would it? So many of the details that James described were found to match eerily similarly with the life of James Huston Jr, an American pilot killed in WWII in 1945. From there, the story only gets crazier!
This one is absolutely insane!

Hugues de la Plaza

In the early morning hours of June 2, 2007, Hugues de la Plaza was found dead inside of his San Francisco apartment. Stabbed to 3 times in his chest and neck. Security cameras show Hughes entering the home by himself. Even more bizarre, his door was locked and there was no trace of anyone entering/leaving his residence. Yet, neighbors claimed to have heard a scuffle taking place within the apartment. Police seem to believe this was a suicide, but Hughes family believes he was murdered. This is a case shrouded in mystery and much internet sleuthing since 2007.

Resurrection Mary

Since the late 1930's, there have been a number of reports of a ghostly figure tormenting drivers along the road outside or Resurrection Cemetery in Justice, Illinois. Some encounters have stated that the female apparition will actually speak to you and  request a ride to the cemetery, only to simply vanish upon arrival. There are no shortage of theories as to who and/or what Mary is! Join us this week as we take a ride with Resurrection Mary!

The Legend of Tommy Fitz

This story is truly unbelievable! In 1956, a guy walks into a NYC bar and makes a bet with a fellow patron. The nature of the bet resulted in Thomas Fitzpatrick stealing a plane and landing it directly in front of the same bar from which he had just been drinking at mere moments before! Not only that, he performed the same feat two years later! Buckle up for this one!!

The Turpin Family

This week we tackle one of one of the most disturbing cases in recent history. In early 2018, a teenage girl called 911 and claimed to have been held captive, along with her other 12 siblings, in their family home. She described horrific abuse that seemed almost unbelievable. Unfortunately, it was all true. The worst part was that the culprits were the children’s own parents. This is a case that you won’t soon forget. 

North Brother Island, NYC

This week we take a look at the abandoned North Brother Island in NYC. Throughout the late 1800s through early 1900s, the island was home to Riverside Hospital. A hospital used to quarantine patients with contagious diseases and other ailments. With that aside, the island saw its fair share of unfortunate events that took place along it shores. One being the deadliest maritime accident in US history. In addition, this island housed the infamous “Typhoid Mary” until her dying day. With all these factors, it’s no wonder North Brother Island is considered one of the most haunted places in NYC. Join us this week as we take a dive into the lovely East River to examine these claims.

The Mystery of Santiago Flight 513

Episode 91: Santiago Flight 513. Well this is a BTC first. This week we’re discussing one of the greatest time slip cases of all time…the mystery of Santiago Flight 513. Flight 513 took off from Germany in 1954….however while flying over the Atlantic, the plane simply vanished. For 35 years, this case was closed. That was until the plane landed in Brazil in 1989. When authorities entered the plane, they discovered there were no survivors, simply skeletons of the staff and passengers. Get ready for this one!!!
