Don’t Go Night Swimming | Michelle Von Emster

When a body washed ashore near San Diego, it was a mystery as to what happened. Missing limbs and pieces of flesh torn from the body, many assumed it was a vicious shark attack. But upon closer inspection, that may not have been the case. Many Autopsies, and a few reexaminations later. shark attack was ruled out. So what happened to Michelle Von Emster that fateful day in April of '94?

Operation Midnight Climax

I got nothing for a witty title here. Operation Midnight Climax was an off-shoot of sorts of MKUltra, so you know it's got some terrible stuff associated with it. From LSD and other mind-altering drugs, to blackmail and mind control, Midnight Climax had it all when it comes to shady government experiments on its unknowing, and non-consenting public!

Some People Suck | Richard Speck

While maybe not as known as say Ted Bundy, Richard Speck was still a notorious criminal who slipped through the cracks of the justice system one too many times. One night in 1966, Speck broke into a boarding house for nurses at a local hospital, and murdered 8 women. This is Specks story in part.  Spoiler: He's a piece of crap.

My Apartment Caught On Fire | Let’s Talk About Another One

Yes, my apartment went up in a blaze. Thankfully the fire department was quick and nobody was injured, but much of the complex got damaged. The unit that caught was below me, and I had my windows open at the time (wasn't home when it started), so sadly my microphone got damaged by a mixture of smoke and heat. There will be a donation link below if you care to help fund a new one. But today's episode is about a fire as well. One that claimed far too many lives in New Orleans in 1973. Listen for the whole story surrounding the 1973 UpStairs lounge fire.

Jaws, But In Real Life | The Shark Arm Murder

Sorry for the lateness of this, but you should expect that by now...   The Shark Arm Murders refer to a notorious criminal case that took place in Sydney, Australia, in 1935. The case gained significant media attention due to its bizarre and macabre nature.  In April 1935, a large tiger shark was caught in the waters near Coogee Beach. When the shark was displayed at the Coogee Aquarium Baths, it vomited out a human arm with a rope tied around its wrist. The arm was promptly identified as belonging to James Smith, a missing ex-boxer and small-time criminal.

Road Trip Gone Wrong | Jamison Family Disappearance

So, I'm back after a bit of a surprise break again. My bad! Anyway, we're back with another true crime case this week, and it's the mystery surrounding the Jamison Family and their strange disappearance. It happened back in 2009 when the family, Bobby, Sherilynn, and daughter Madyson, packed everything up and went in search of some land to build a home upon. Only they never found the land, and they never returned. It wasn't overly surprising to friends that they vanished as the parents, Bobby and Sherilynn, had issues with substance abuse and drugs. They were also into the occult, which, of course is the actual reason for their vanishing. I hope you picked up the sarcasm there... Anywhoo, the theories about their disappearance are vast and varied. And I'll go over all that in the episode!

Chat GPT Helped Solve The Somerton Man

Okay, not really. But it did help me write this script! This is a topic I've been wanting to touch base on, but everybody has covered it much better than I could ever have. So I tested out Chat GPT to see if it could lend any more insight on the topic. It... It did not. But it did write me a nice summery of events that was condensed down to a nice ten minutes. I'm not going to give you much info about it here as, well, the episode is short enough that if I type anything here, I'll give away everything! So listen!

The Sun, The Light, and the Moon | Greek Goddess Theia

Let's take a break from the dreary true crime stuff for a sec and look at some fun ancient history and mythology for a change! Today we're talking about Theia, who is sort of a forgotten God now-a-days, but in ancient Greece, she was super important. She is responsible for basically all the light around us, and out ability to see... period. She's the Goddess of the sun, light, sight, and wisdom, among other things. Her role became a little less important as time went on, but through her kids, Helios, Eos, and Selene, her legacy lived on.

Family Feud | George Arsoniadis

Back in '05 a man did the unthinkable. After what can only be assumed to be a pretty bad family squabble, George Arsoniadis decided he needed to kill his sister in the very condo they had just moved into together. It wasn't even a week after they moved that neighbors complained about a foul smell coming from the unit. Police got involved, and not long after, George was arrested and sat in jail.  The police found something out of a horror movie in the dwelling - body parts stashed in freezers and all sorts of gruesome pieces of evidence. George faced trial, and the outcome might just cause your blood to boil.  Our sponsor: www.morbidlybeautiful.com https://www.morbidlybeautiful.com/ Merch:  www.redbubble.com/people/horrorshots https://www.redbubble.com/people/horrorshots/shop Youtube https://www.youtube.com/horrorshots Website: Horror Shots https://horrorshotsimages.wixsite.com/horrorshots Instagram: ominousoriginspod Twitter: @horrorshotsprod Facebook: Horrorshots Patreon: www.patreon.com/horrorshots https://www.patreon.com/horrorshots

This Is Why I Hate Water | The Bluebelle

Back in the early 60's, a guy wanted to take his family on a private cruise. That's all. He chartered a ketch out of Florida and spent a week at sea with his family, the ship's captain, the captain's wife. What they didn't expect was to never be heard from again, except for one touch as nails little girl. She was known as the Sea Orphan, but her real name was Terry-Job Duperrault. Upon hearing of her survival, the other survivor, who was thought the be the lone one, Julian Harvey asked to be excused from talking to the police. He then went to a motel and slashed various parts of his body, killing himself. In what was believed to be an insurance fraud situation gone awry, Harvey killed his wife, then what he thought was the entirety of the Duperrault family, before escaping a sinking ship. It's a fascinating tale with a lot of crazy details, so you'll just have to listen!

Sadly Natalie Wood Didn’t Float

Back in 1981, an incredibly talented actress supposedly fell overboard and drown by complete accident. That is if you believe the original reports on Natalie Wood. However, if you believe the updates from around 2011 and beyond, the actress's death was no mere accident. Married to Robert Wagner, and on a boat with Christopher Walken, Wood apparently got into an argument with her husband before everything went silent. This is according to the boat captain. He went to check on the couple when he discovered that Natalie was nowhere to be seen, and only a calm Wagner in his cabin saying that Natalie took the dingy and fled the boat. Other reports from a nearby boat say they heard a woman calling for help for about half an hour before the cries ceased.  Our sponsor: www.morbidlybeautiful.com https://www.morbidlybeautiful.com/ Merch:  www.redbubble.com/people/horrorshots https://www.redbubble.com/people/horrorshots/shop Youtube https://www.youtube.com/horrorshots Website: Horror Shots https://horrorshotsimages.wixsite.com/horrorshots Instagram: ominousoriginspod Twitter: @horrorshotsprod Facebook: Horrorshots Patreon: www.patreon.com/horrorshots https://www.patreon.com/horrorshots

Real Life Respawn? | The Pollock Twins

Death is a weird thing. It's really one of the few things in the universe we know about, but know almost nothing about. What really happens when we die? Do we go in the clouds, does everything turn black, or do we maybe come back as another person; almost like a respawn in a video game. Well, if you believe what happened to the Pollocks, then its certainly the latter. The Pollocks were a young family in the mid 1950's, they had two daughters and lived a small, peaceful town in England. Everything was great until it wasn't. Thanks to a distraught woman who downed a few too many pills, the two Pollock girls were run down at ages 11 and 6. The tragedy was brutal, and took it's toll on the parents - that is until they unexpectedly gave birth two identical twins a year later. Twins who had shockingly similar characteristics to their late sisters, even down to birthmarks and scars. It's a bizarre story, and one you'll have to listen to all the way through.

Every Toronto Hockey Fans Worst Nightmare | Matthew Hoffman, The Leaf Killer

Yes, you read that wordy title right. in late 2010 a man by the name of Matthew Hoffman entered the home of the Herrmann's, killed Tina (Mom), Kody (Son), and Stephanie (mom's friend), dismembered them and stashed them away. On top of that, he kidnapped 13-year-old Sarah and kept her captive for four long days. He did unspeakable things to poor Sarah who, when found, was just worried about her school attendance.  Hoffman was dubbed the leaf killer not just because he was profession tree trimmer, but more so due to the fact his home was filled floor to ceiling with leaves. Just thousand and thousands of leaves. Learn more about this strange guy and his heinous crimes in the episode.

Oni Oni Oni! | The Oni

A region I have neglected for far too long has been Asian, and Japan more specifically. The culture in the east is so rich and depthy that I feel bad for not covering more of it. So today I bring you the Oni! The Oni is a monster of sorts that has a varied origin story. Some say it's a demon, others a spirit of some kind. To some, they are protectors, others; tormentors. One thing most can agree on though is that they are scary AF. They generally have the same description throughout time, and the mask is one that is famous the world over.

Weird Suspects In A Weird Case | Dardeen Family Murders Final

Yes, today we're looking at the conclusion of the Dardeen Family Murders. Sadly there isn't much of a conclusion to the case, but we had to close it out by looking at the main suspect, and how he may or may not have been involved. Tommy Lynn Sells was sitting on death row in Texas for another murder when he confessed to killing the Dardeens. While he knew some of the details of the case, he had a hard time keeping his story straight, and he didn't really reveal many details outside of what was publicly known, and when he did, they were vague guesses, or so some thought. Also, I meant to get this up yesterday, on the big ol' V-Day. So excuse the references to that in there. Let's just pretend I have my crap together and it went up when it was supposed to.

Can’t Arrest Me if I’m Dead | The Dardeen Murders

Back in '87 a man was thought to have murdered his entire family. However, that didn't last too long as his body was found roughly a day later. That man was Keith Dardeen, and he was originally thought to have been the perpetrator of a truly heinous crime. Unfortunately, his body too was found some ways away from the scene.  This left police stumped. Nothing was taken from the house, and his wife, Elaine, had not been sexually assaulted in any way. There didn't appear to be a motive, though the area of Illinois that this took place in had become a bit of a hotbed for criminal activity. The family had even planned on moving back to Keith's hometown due to the increase in crime. The details of the murder are pretty brutal, and certainly aren't for the faint of heart, so consider this your warning.  Our sponsor: www.morbidlybeautiful.com https://www.morbidlybeautiful.com/ Merch:  www.redbubble.com/people/horrorshots https://www.redbubble.com/people/horrorshots/shop Youtube https://www.youtube.com/horrorshots Website: Horror Shots https://horrorshotsimages.wixsite.com/horrorshots Instagram: ominousoriginspod Twitter: @horrorshotsprod Facebook: Horrorshots Patreon: www.patreon.com/horrorshots https://www.patreon.com/horrorshots

It’s Getting Hot Inside | Spontaneous Human Combustion

So yeah, sometimes people burn from the inside out and ultimately die. Even odder still is that this seems to happen for no reason whatsoever, they just melt away, leaving nothing behind by a greasy stain and their feet. Now, even odder-er is that usually in these cases, everything around them is near spotless. If the person goes up while sitting in a rocking chair, the chair unmarred by the flame. Just the person seems to catch ablaze, and then, poof, just as quickly as it happened, it stops. Of course there are some science type people out there who don't really believe that somebody could just burst into flame without an ignition source, but those same people always just say that a cigarette ember travelled through the air from Chicago to Toronto and lit poor Sheila on fire.  Anyway, it's a pretty interesting topic with a few notable cases throughout history.

The Last Moments of Cindy James |Final

I'm back to finish up the Cindy James story, and sadly, it doesn't have a happy ending. Poor Cindy spent the better part of a decade being harassed and tormented by an unknown assailant. She was left terrifying messages, her home was broken into, and her place set on fire on multiple occasions. The RCMP investigated and spent more than a million dollars on looking into these events for Cindy, until eventually they sort of gave up. The said she was likely doing this to herself and that was that.  Well, that was that until she died. She was found in the backyard of an abandoned house, hogtied, with a cocktail of drugs in her system. Around the scene was graffiti, and everything pointed to murder. Her stalker had finally got her... Right? Well, the RCMP concluded that this was a suicide, if you can believe that. During an inquiry into the case, a knot expert said she could have tied herself up before the effects of all the narcotics in her system kicked in. I don't know if I believe that. Regardless, her case was eventually closed citing the entire thing as an unknown event.

I’m Back, and We’re Talking About Cindy James | Part One

Yes, I know, it's been a hot minute, and I'm deeply sorry for that. But we're back talking some true crime, Canadian true crime nonetheless. Cindy James went through quite the ordeal in the 80's as she was stalked, intimidated, assaulted, and all around harassed for years. Many suspected it was her ex-husband, but the number of accounts and witnesses suggest maybe it wasn't. What Cindy endured was, frankly, ridiculous. I won't go into all the details here, but she did end up in the hospital multiple times. Despite the best efforts of a P.I. and a boyfriend who was a cop, the harassment continued. She moved, she changed her number, and even changed her car colour to hide her identity, but it was to no avail. The perpetrator seemed to know her every move, leaving a letter for her the day she arrived home from a lengthy trip. But what happened in the end? Well, you'll have to tune into the next episode... and listen to this one too...

Happy Halloween, Ya Filthy Witches!

Yes, it's Halloween, so what better time to drop an episode about witches? Well, one witch anyway, and she went by the name Alice Kyteler. She was more or less a black widow in the early 1300's, bagging herself a small fortune in the wake of a bunch of dead husbands. For her lifestyle, she was naturally branded a witch, the first in Irish history even, to an extent.  This is Alice Kyteler, Happy Halloween!

Camp Crystal Lake, But For Real? The Keddie Cabin Murders.

Back in April of '81 a terrible act took place in the cabins of Keddie, California. It's like something out of a movie, really. A young girl returned to her cabin after a night at her friend's place, however not all was well when she walked on a brutal scene. Before her lay her mother, brother, and her brother's friend, all dead. But not just dead, but rather killed in such a vicious manner that it'd be almost uncouth to talk about. What she didn't see was her other siblings. Thankfully two boys sleeping in a room not more than 10 feet from where the murders took place were unharmed. However, the youngest sister was nowhere to be found. The investigation was rife with corruption and just terrible police work - like every crime scene on this podcast, really. And partly because of that ineptitude, the case was never solved.

There’s Aliens In Them Hills in Lubbock

Aliens seem to love the south, I mean, why wouldn't they? It's warm, there's that infamous southern hospitality, there's Mexican food, man, if I were an alien, I'd go there. But that's beside the point, today we're looking at aliens, and a case that took place in Lubbock, Texas. This is an interesting one for the sole reason that the most prominent witnesses were actual real life doctors. Not Medical Doctors, but just regular old doctors of other things. Nevertheless, the credibility for the sightings couldn't have been held in higher regard.  There was, of course, an investigation into the sighting, which a lot of people saw, not just a handful of doctors. The conclusion of said investigation... well, that lead to a bit of disappointment and none answers. But it's still a fun look into some aliens, so if that's your jam, then you're in for a treat!
