What was Ghostwatch? It was a paranormal investigation broadcast on Halloween night by the BBC. Presented by highly renowned British journalists and famous TV personalities, this ninety minute special horrified eleven million viewers. With disturbing footage of a family besieged by infernal presences, and an ending so shocking it elicited a national outrage, this televised report was without precedent. Because unbeknownst to many who tuned in that fateful All Hallow’s Eve, the events of Ghostwatch were entirely fabricated. But was this mockumentary a successful prototype for the found footage horror films to come? Or did the Ghostwatch hoax spark an outbreak of genuine trauma?

The movie Bloodsport was based on his life. He kickstarted JCVD's career and inspired the Mortal Kombat franchise. Everything was a lie. In the 1980s, Frank Dux, a martial arts expert and former CIA operative-turned LA martial arts instructor successfully sold the story of his life to a movie studio in order to the get the movie "Bloodsport" made. The movie effectively jumpstarted the career of its star, Jean-Claude Van Damme. It wasn't until years later that we found out that none of his story was actually true.

Garth Brooks was the undisputed king of music in the late 90s. Then he decided to become another person. At the heigh of Brooks' success, he suddenly disappeared from the public eye. In his place came a rock ringer named Chris Gaines - a guy who supposedly had been performing since the mid-80s and was a huge, multi-platinum rock ringer. However, he was actually just Garth Brooks in a weird emo wig. Brooks proceeded to release an entire album as Gaines - and even starred in an hour-long episode of Behind the Music about Gaines' life.

He published a comic strip throughout the 20s, 30s, and 40s. Nobody knew he was actually black. In the 1920s, a cartoonist named George Herriman came on the scene. He developed a strip called Krazy Kat, which is one of the strangest, most revered newspaper comics of all time - considered by many to be the greatest comic ever made. For the entirety of Herriman's life, the public thought he was white. It wasn't until his death that we learned he hid his racial identity in order to make it in the world of comics. But in retrospect, his work is the key to understanding his complicated relationship with his own racial identity.

He's a beloved video game characters from the 90s, but his creator has gone off the rails in recent years. In the early 90s, Earthworm Jim exploded onto the scene as an absurdist take on video game platformers. Eventually he was spun off into a comic, a cartoon, a toy line, among other things. But the creator of Earthworm Jim has expressed some views in recent years that really make it hard to enjoy the beloved character.

They experimented on unwilling subjects in the 1950s to control peoples' minds and create super soldiers. And it's all real. In the early 50s, as WWII was ending the Central Intelligence Agency was being formed in the United States, paranoia was high about the technologies and weapons of war that were being developed in Russia and China. In order to anticipate a perceived threat of experimental mind control techniques being developed by foreign actors, the CIA implemented its own research arm with a goal of creating ways of controlling peoples' minds and even turning people into sleeper agents against their will. It's one of the most horrifying things that the US government has ever done that we know of.

In the 1920s, Henry Ford, inventor of the assembly line, tried to create a utopian capitalist city in Brazil. It was essentially a slave camp. During the late 1800s and early 1900s, American companies discovered a wealth of natural resources in Central America and basically decided to take it for all its worth. Tons of American corporations pillages the countryside, taking over countries, buying up all their land, and forcibly becoming their largest source of economy. In 1928, Henry Ford, founder of Ford Motor Company, tried his hand at it with a rubber-mining company town he dubbed Fordlandia. It was a hilariously epic failure. -- Get the Mystery Treehouse Simple Code Hybrid Album and Comic! https://bit.ly/simplecodecomic Watch the Simple Code Comic Album Video Trailer! https://bit.ly/simplecodetrailer -- Join our Discord server! https://bit.ly/deepcutsdiscord -- Pick up some Deep Cuts T-Shirts and other merch! https://bit.ly/deepcutsmerch -- Get the official Deep Cuts shoulder patch! http://bit.ly/deepcuts_patch -- Listen to our album, a 9 song rock opera about the rise and fall of Napster! https://open.spotify.com/album/6INdubx1dAEKNwuoWzs9Oo?si=z4ljoBAYTFqRXKWVzvWEfg Learn more about your ad choices.

It was an indie comic that became a seminal 90s point & click adventure game. Its the little franchise that could and still endures to this day. In the late 1980s, Steve Purcell created Sam & Max - a zany, madcap comic about a buddy cop duo of a talking dog and a weird bunny rabbit creature named Sam & Max. Then he got a job as an animator at the famed Lucasfilm Games studio. Eventually, he was approached to make a game based on the characters. For the next few decades, this franchise persevered solely based on Purcell's unstoppable insistence on cheerleading for these two delightful characters. And, somehow, we've gotten dozens of pieces of media about these beloved talking animals.

He had secured funding to open up his own medical practice in Florida - and he was the world's youngest practicing physician.

They claimed a team of home school kids excavated a dinosaur skeleton and it proved the Earth was only 6,000 years old. The entire thing was a lie. In the early 2000s, a small religious home school supply company released a documentary. The movie claimed to depict a group of 30 home school kids discovering and excavating a fully-intact Allosaurus skeleton - the first of its kind ever found. The documentary was massively popular on the religious home school racket, and made the company owner, Doug Phillips, rich. However, as time went on, people would slowly discover the truth - that the entire thing was a lie. And Doug Phillips was hiding something even darker.

They gave him the Tonight Show and then took it away and it created a nationwide outcry. But how do we feel about it now? In the late 2010s, Conan O'Brien was handed the hosting gig for the mother of all late night talk shows, The Tonight Show. However, after several months, slipping ratings, and a weird time slot kerfuffle with previous Tonight Show host Jay Leno, Conan ended up walking away from his dream job. The fallout of it sent a shockwave through the late night world as well as Conan's fans, and people rallied around the unfortunate comedian.

Who was Lou Pearlman? He was the manager behind some of the biggest boy bands of the ‘90s and 2000s, including the Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC. However, following the post-boy band boom, he was outed for screwing over many of the artists he worked with out of their hard-earned money before getting arrested for one of the largest Ponzi schemes in American history.

He created some of the most memorable daytime television in history. He also claims he was assassinating people for the government the entire time. In the mid-60s, Chuck Barris got his start producing daytime television. He produced shows such as The Dating Game, The Newlywed Game, and even was the host of the Gong Show. But, all the way, he struggled with inner demons and family tragedy. And, according to him, was also working for the CIA as an assassin.

For decades, this motel in Colorado had a secret network of surveillance rooms in the ceiling where the owner spied on his guests. Nobody knew until recently. The man was Gerald Foos, and he purchased a motel in the 1960s, outfitted it with a secret crawlspace in the ceiling where he could watch people inside of their rooms, and spent years spying on his guests - witnessing things like drug deals, lots and lots of sex, and potentially a murder. One day he decided to tell a journalist - Gay Talese. The two men would keep the secret for years until they finally decided to tell the world.

Part 2 of an exhaustive multi-episode deep dive into the mega conspiracy movement, QAnon. Dating back hundreds of years, people have spread anti-semitic conspiracy theories about Jews conspiring to kidnap and murder Christian children to drink their blood. And throughout the 20th century a radical shift in the nature of reality, the meaning of truth, and our collective trust in authority, occurred and slowly eroded any semblance of a collective worldview. All of these things have contributed to a world where QAnon can exist. On this episode of Deep Cuts, we will explore the ancient origins of the beliefs of the movement and the events that took place that got us here. -- Watch HyperNormalisation by Adam Curtis https://www.amazon.com/HyperNormalisation-Adam-Curtis/dp/B08L6KBTLB -- Join our brand new Discord server! https://bit.ly/deepcutsdiscord -- Pick up some Deep Cuts T-Shirts and other merch! https://bit.ly/deepcutsmerch -- Get the official Deep Cuts shoulder patch! http://bit.ly/deepcuts_patch -- Listen to our album, a 9 song rock opera about the rise and fall of Napster! https://open.spotify.com/album/63C5uu1tkzZ2FhfsrSSf5s?si=q4WItoNmRUeM159TxKLWew -- Additional incidental music credits: D.Catalano https://wekeepoddhours.bandcamp.com The Deadboy Detectives Learn more about your ad choices.

Part 1 of an exhaustive multi-episode deep dive into the mega conspiracy movement, QAnon. In November of 2016, amidst a monumental presidential election, WikiLeaks obtained 20,000 private emails from former White House Chief of Staff, John Podesta, and released them to the public. A handful of the emails contained references to various foods such as pizza. Seemingly innocent, but little did anyone know that it would spark the beginning of one of the biggest conspiracy movements of all time, destabilize the political climate of the United States, and eventually result a massive riot at the Capitol building in Washington D.C. -- Join our brand new Discord server! https://bit.ly/deepcutsdiscord -- Pick up some Deep Cuts T-Shirts and other merch! https://bit.ly/deepcutsmerch -- Get the official Deep Cuts shoulder patch! http://bit.ly/deepcuts_patch -- Listen to our album, a 9 song rock opera about the rise and fall of Napster! https://open.spotify.com/album/63C5uu1tkzZ2FhfsrSSf5s?si=q4WItoNmRUeM159TxKLWew -- Additional incidental music credits: D.Catalano https://wekeepoddhours.bandcamp.com The Deadboy Detectives Learn more about your ad choices.

Batman is one of the most well-known fictional characters of all time. He was completely stolen from his original creator. In the late 1930s, a new comic book character hit newsstands across the country. He was called The Bat-Man (later on just Batman), and he quickly took the nation by storm. Over the years he could go on to become one of the most popular characters - comic book or otherwise - ever conceived. And, as we all know, he was created by Bob Kane. He was credited as the sole creator, writer, and artist behind Batman, he appeared in countless interviews as the creator of Batman, and he even had a cameo in the 1989 Batman movie. However, he didn't actually create the character at all, and in fact shameless stole credit from another man. On this episode of Deep Cuts, we delve into the truth behind who created Batman. -- Join our brand new Discord server! https://bit.ly/deepcutsdiscord -- Pick up some Deep Cuts T-Shirts and other merch! https://bit.ly/deepcutsmerch -- Get the official Deep Cuts shoulder patch! http://bit.ly/deepcuts_patch -- Listen to our album, a 9 song rock opera about the rise and fall of Napster! https://open.spotify.com/album/63C5uu1tkzZ2FhfsrSSf5s?si=q4WItoNmRUeM159TxKLWew -- Additional incidental music credits: The Deadboy Detectives Learn more about your ad choices.

An obsessed Sherlock Holmes fan lived out a bizarre and tragic real life Sherlock Holmes murder mystery. In the early 2000s, Richard Lancelyn Green, an obsessed Arthur Conan Doyle scholar and biographer, began down a path of obsession. He was searching for some lost papers on Conan Doyle that would allow him to write the definitive biography, but they had somehow fallen into the hands of an auction house to be sold to private collectors instead of a museum archive like they should have been. He was devastated. And a few weeks later, he turned up dead in his apartment. Did he commit suicide? Or was he murdered?

He created Sherlock Holmes, the world's most famous detective. He also believed in fairies and magic. Throughout the late 1800s and early 1900s, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's literary creation, Sherlock Holmes, took the world by storm and became one of the most popular characters of all time. Holmes was known for his dedication to science and his brilliant deduction skills, and the man who created him equally valued these skills and - by many accounts - largely based the character on himself. However, as his life progressed he lost interest in Holmes, and instead became passionate about studying the paranormal, psychics and mediums, and literal fairies.

The origins of the world's biggest banana company are darker than you could ever imagine. In the late 1800s, several enterprising American businessman saw an opportunity to move into Central America and build successful companies growing, shipping, and selling bananas to the masses. Several fruit companies cropped up during this time, but none bigger or more powerful than the United Fruit Company - which would later become known as Chiquita Brands International, seller of Chiquita Bananas. But in order to become the biggest banana brand in history, the company would have to leave behind a trail of blood, exploitation, military coups, slavery, and genocide. On this episode we dive deep into the incredibly bleak origins of Chiquita Banana. -- Pick up some Deep Cuts T-Shirts and other merch! https://bit.ly/deepcutsmerch -- Get the official Deep Cuts shoulder patch! http://bit.ly/deepcuts_patch -- Listen to our new album, a 9 song rock opera about the rise and fall of Napster! https://open.spotify.com/album/63C5uu1tkzZ2FhfsrSSf5s?si=q4WItoNmRUeM159TxKLWew -- Additional incidental music credits: D.Catalano https://wekeepoddhours.bandcamp.com The Deadboy Detectives Learn more about your ad choices.

Who were The Cat Dancers? They were a trio of performers who embellished their dance routines with captive big cats. Originally a duo, Ron and Joy Holiday teamed up with Chuck Lizza and embarked on a thirty year odyssey of fame, love, and devastating loss. Because when they added a white tiger named Jupiter into their orbit, the dance troupe paid the ultimate price. But were The Cat Dancers simply victims of a series of catastrophes, or was there more prowling beneath the surface?

One of the most famous movie directors was involved in the death of a legendary actor and two children on his set. In the early 1980s, hot off the heels of several hit movies, director John Landis was hired to direct a segment from the Twilight Zone movie being produced by Steven Spielberg. After a series of shady decisions - most of them illegal, Landis ended up directing a scene at 2:30 AM featuring an actor, two small children, a bunch of fake rain and explosions, and an actual helicopter. The night would end in tragedy. On this episode of Deep Cuts, we take a look at the shocking deaths on the set of the Twilight Zone movie. -- This Week's Listener Memes: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/u8ol72y6fc38050/AACxKGDVELyj02LMjuDTwr6ha?dl=0 -- Pick up some Deep Cuts T-Shirts and other merch! https://bit.ly/deepcutsmerch -- Get the official Deep Cuts shoulder patch! http://bit.ly/deepcuts_patch -- Listen to our new album, a 9 song rock opera about the rise and fall of Napster! https://open.spotify.com/album/63C5uu1tkzZ2FhfsrSSf5s?si=q4WItoNmRUeM159TxKLWew -- Additional incidental music credits: D.Catalano https://wekeepoddhours.bandcamp.com The Deadboy Detectives Learn more about your ad choices.

He fooled the world into believing he had telekinetic powers, but his true secret was much darker. In the late 1970s, James Hydrick came onto the scene claiming to have the ability to move objects with his mind. This landed him in newspaper articles, owning a handful of martial arts dojos, and making several television appearances where he demonstrated his powers. For a while it seemed like he had fooled the world...until he had a VERY bad week, and his lies were revealed. But that wasn't the worst thing that would come out about Hydrick in the end. On this episode of Deep Cuts, we explore the deceptive life of James Hydrick. -- This Week's Listener Memes: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/7qpdggp3ezhedbr/AACWUdj24uzjn_xsLwIt00d0a?dl=0 -- Pick up some Deep Cuts T-Shirts and other merch! https://bit.ly/deepcutsmerch -- Get the official Deep Cuts shoulder patch! http://bit.ly/deepcuts_patch -- Listen to our new album, a 9 song rock opera about the rise and fall of Napster! https://open.spotify.com/album/63C5uu1tkzZ2FhfsrSSf5s?si=q4WItoNmRUeM159TxKLWew -- Additional incidental music credits: The Deadboy Detectives Learn more about your ad choices.

He invented the Satanic Church to shock people, but he had an immeasurable impact on our culture. In the 1960s, Anton LaVey founded the Church or Satan, wrote the Satanic Bible, and became one of the most infamous figures in history.
