Arcanum Obscura

Back to a little true crime, this was an odd case since there isn't much info and it stills remains unsolved today. There were plenty of rumors but not much evidence to work with, then the disappearing and reappearing case files. This case is possibly tied to a serial killer but after nearly 50 years it's still unsolved.

Due to job schedules and holidays we haven't been able to get together to record, and if your a listener you tend to know what that means. We ramble on and talk way too much to get to a story, so... that's what happened.

This week, UAP’s, this week is less about sightings and more about the gov’t acknowledging UAP’s, their definition of what constitutes a UAP and the federal site where we can go to view casefiles and conclusions investigations.

We are back, and as you know if we miss a week we tend to banter more then usual, now we've missed a month due to holidays and vacations and we did have a plan for the episode but decided we're going to ramble way too much so lets just do a soup episode. So, soup episode number three is here for your ears to devour.

We have some updates this week on previous episodes. First we have the Missouri Dungeon case, this is the case of the woman who escaped the homemade dungeon of Timothy M. Haslett. This case is still underway and during her captivity Haslet had threatened her by saying he had two other victims hat hadn't made it out. We know this wasn't just empty threats anymore and one earlier victim has been ide...

This week we have some strange deaths to talk about. Nate comes with the always unusual spontaneous human combustion. Most of us have heard about the woman he talks about; images of the scene are pretty prevalent when you look into this strange phenomenon. After that, and too not get into too much detail here, I go into some hospitals in South Africa that seem to have a probably with bodies in cei...

We are back, the hurricane prevented recording last week but here we be. This week we are going with the idea Nate had a few weeks back, talking about strange stories that were reported by people in the military.

We had an idea for this weeks episode, we had intended to talk about strange paranormal or supernatural occurrences reported during wartime, or within the military. At the last minute I changed the plan, I wanted to talk about my sister and her murder. Its not a crazy story nor is it very long with tons of characters and wild strange twists, it's just what happened. I believe I have mentioned...

Nate had an idea for looking at some supernatural and paranormal incidents during wartime. We have all heard of the common ones like foo fighters and gremlins though we may still delve into them. As he was looking for some he came across this reddit story and decided to share it. Honestly after hearing it and learning this is only the 1st part of 5 I'm going to go read the rest because it was...

We've talked about skinwalkers before but this week I thought it may be interesting to dig through some subreddits and find personal encounters with skinwalkers, so we come with a few stories of different peoples experiences with possible skinwalkers. I read through several and decided on a few that felt pretty interesting.

This is a pretty rough case like some others I have done, while reading and researching the case I found that thankfully a lot of the explicit details weren't presented in the sources I read from, this doesn't in anyway lessen how horrible this case was and what was done to these individuals but what I can only describe as monsters. I apologize for how I'm talking in this episode, due...

Nate takes control this week and brings some stories of crimes committed through. We've all heard some of these stories, not necessarily the ones Nate brings today, but warnings and unfortunate events that happen due to people either giving out too much information on the internet and social media or being lured through chat to real life locations. One of the stories Nate has in this episode i...

This was a tough episode, not as in hard to talk about, but hard to write anything for so we take a different approach this week. I have a list of strange possibly morbid traditions from around the world and tell them to Nate then we talk a little about each one.

After a two week hiatus we are back with some Florida man stories. It is a crazy place down here and I'm sure you've all heard some crazy stories about this state so we decided to share a few crazy ones we found. The main one I cover is actually really close to where I live and I heard nothing of it until specifically looking for Florida man stories.

First up the story of Patty Hearst and the Symbionese group. Was she a willing or unwilling participant? Did she have Stockholm syndrome? It's a tricky one to tell given some of the things that happened. After that I have a short snippet about the great Wisconsin cheese heist.

If you've listened to a good amount of our episodes you may know I tend to bring the horrific stories compared to what Nate brings to the table. This week is no exception, I start us of with The Hi-Fi Murders, what is initially believed to be a robbery in 1974 takes a much darker turn, sadly leaving three dead and two scarred for life. Following that up Nate talks a little about the Geezer Ban...

True crime this week. Nate talks about something he found on reddit, the story of Tom Justice, a bank robber who was known as the Choir Boy and later the Bicycle Bank Robber, I do prefer the first name do to why they called him that and I also feel what he did with what he stole also fit that name. Then I talk about the murder David Auchterlonie. It's a sad tale of a pointless murder, or a thr...

Another true crime episode. This week I have The Kurim Case which is a pretty horrific case involving children, though not much for details on that part of the case. The was more focus on the perpetrators and the bizarre twist. Nate follows that up the the case of Mr. DuBoise, to be honest, this case pissed me off, not to give anything away but the evidence was ridiculous as well as all those invo...

For anyone who doesn't know, a soup episode is where we just talk and joke and ramble on about anything. No stories, no creepy games, nor any true crime. Just us rambling about whatever. I explain the soup episode origins in the episode, but if the talking part of our podcast is your least favorite part I'd skip soup episodes.

This week we have another creepypasta game. This time around it's The Devil Game, a little game/ritual to someone the devil in order to talk to him, asks questions, and possibly play some mind games. This one is a bit longer then the other "games" ones we've done but I enjoyed reading it and thought our listeners may as well. We recently missed a couple weeks of episodes and now...

We missed a couple weeks of recording, first Nates work schedule interfered with one week, then the next week I was dying of an illness.... see... a witch turned me into a newt..... I got better though. So we are back and this week we have some fun stories, we have a very tall woman who makes a very strange sound and hunts children, then we have some crazy yokai you can enjoy. We also have a whore...

Some more reddit stories this week. Everyone loves some r/nosleep stories! I won't go into too much about the stories. One is the story of someone playing one of those cursed games, mainly one involving an elevator. The second story is one that involves voices in your head and big money prizes!

Since we had the big Solar Eclipse last week I thought it may be cool to go over some different beliefs about Solar Eclipses from around the world. Some blame the actions of disgruntled gods, others giant celestial animals, and even one with an angry kid. We hope you enjoy.

Some interesting Cryptids this week. First up is the strange flatwoods monster, I personally hate this thing now, but Nate brought it to the table so I'll just add my hate for this thing onto Nate, he could use some more. Then we have the creepy looking Fresno Nightcrawlers, I've seen videos and even a few shows looking into these things. I'm not gonna say for sure but one thing I can...

Another true crime week. First, Nate reads a story about Marcus Wesson, I really can't say much about this aside the guy is a monster, disgusting, a murderer, amongst many many other things. I've personally covered some pretty bad stories here and now it's Nates turn. Aside from the few descriptive words of this man, he's a cult leader who had children with his children and his chi...
