IN THIS EPISODE: Between the years 1925 and 1927, a young teenage girl named Eleonore Zugun from Romania, became the most closely observed, investigated and tested poltergeist victim of the 20th century. Her story is terrifying. (The Romanian Poltergeist Girl) *** When you become a celebrity, you expect certain individuals to go past being fans and into being fanatics. Even stalkers. It’s always been that way. Not even Clark Gable was spared – and one woman named Violet made his life a living nightmare. (Dear Mr. Gable) *** There is a rumor that Jacques Cousteau dove to the bottom of Lake Tahoe and filmed a creature but did not release the film saying that “The world was not yet ready for what’s down there”. What is at the bottom of Lake Tahoe? (The Lake Tahoe Monster) *** There is a type of mass murder that draws true-crime connoisseurs like no other… familicide, more often called family annihilation. It is a crime that has invoked horror and fascination in equal measures.  (The Psychology of Family Annihilators) *** (Originally aired October 14, 2020)

  1. Good morning, Fellow Weirdos. A blessed Communion Sunday to you all. This one was too close to home, so I'll leave you to it. (Yes, I survived; both my sons were young adults in the military or going to be. And my ex knew he couldn't make me disappear – not without scars.

  2. This is on , in the background , at the nurses station ( alcove where we document) I’ll definitely listen on my off hours. ( we don’t sit down more than a few mins at the time) also listen to for sleep. Easy listening voice for sleep. I also very much appreciate how you have “ Hope in the darkness”. Mental health is still such a stigmatized topic. Well…I’ll be sure to stay wierd..y’all do the same!

  3. Hi Darren, I enjoyed your video tonight. I heard about Eleanore Zugan before. Hers is a truly strange and well documented story. Poor Clark Gable was targeted because of his fame. Violet thought she could force him to give her money by going to the media. She was completely delusional.
    The stories of familicide are heartbreaking. I am so glad that List was found finally. Each of the cases was horrific and no excuse is sufficient to justify the murders. So sad, especially when children are the victims. 😢❤
