During the 1920s, the term poltergeist became popularized to describe the variety of hauntings in which spirits could actually make loud noises and actually move physical objects. In 1938, a Hungarian paranormal researcher named Nandor Fodor investigated the poltergeist haunting of a seemingly average housewife named Alma Fielding. Fodor came away from the experience believing he had solved the mystery of what was really behind poltergeists.

Well, once there lived a little girl named Barbara Newhall Follett, who published her first novel at age 12, and for a time became the darling of the literary world.

In October 1966 a terrible mining disaster occurred in the Welsh village of Aberfan, killing 116 children and 28 adults. One strange thing that occurred following the disaster were the number of stories that began emerging that several children who were killed along with a number of other adults who should have had no knowledge of the flood, began reporting having psychic premonitions of the disaster before it occurred. This led a British psychiatrist named John Barker to create a premonitions bureau, where he collected stories of psychic visions, in the hope that they could one day use this information to save lives.

Between 1896 and 1897, hundreds of sightings were reported of strange airships over the United States and Europe, years before the Wright Brothers' first flight. Were these mysterious airships alien spacecraft? Or the work of clever human inventors? And were they perhaps the work of a secret society of aviators from decades earlier, who were all part of a vast conspiracy?

Hey everyone! While I’m recuperating I wanted to introduce you to my special guest host for this episode, the amazing Nina Innsted of the Already Gone Podcast! The history books generally state that the inventor of motion pictures would either go to Thomas Edison or the Lumiere brothers. But there's considerable evidence that title should actually go to a lesser known inventor named Louis LePrince, who built his first single-lens motion picture camera years before Edison or the Lumieres. The reason you may never have heard of Louis LePrince though is because before the inventor ever got a chance to publicly demonstrate his remarkable invention, he vanished without a trace from a moving train, along with all his plans.

Throughout the annals of true crime you'll often hear certain murders being described as "The Crime of the Century". Back in 1924, the press dubbed the kidnapping and murder of a 14 year old boy named Bobby Franks with that title. But what was especially unusual about the crime wasn't the murder itself. But rather, the two suspects the police arrested. They were a couple of wealthy 19 year old college students named Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb, and when they confessed to the crime they shocked the nation by telling everyone they had done it simply for the thrill of it all.

If you could call a number and say you’re sorry, and no one would know…what would you apologize for? For fifteen years, you could call a number in Manhattan and do just that. This is the story of the line, and the man at the other end who became consumed by his own creation. He was known as “Mr. Apology.” As thousands of callers flooded the line, confessing to everything from shoplifting to infidelity, drug dealing to murder, Mr. Apology realized he couldn’t just listen. He had to do something, even if it meant risking everything. From Wondery the makers of Dr. Death and The Shrink Next Door, comes a story about empathy, deception and obsession. Marissa Bridge, who knew Mr. Apology better than anyone, hosts this six episode series. Listen today at http://wondery.fm/AL_TheConspirators Learn more about your ad choices.

The 1980s were a dangerous time to be a child in Ohio. Throughout the decade, several young girls were abducted, raped and murdered in seemingly connected crimes. Although one man, Robert Buell, would be convicted and sentenced to death for one of these crimes, some investigators believe Buell had an accomplice who was never caught.

Sharing an episode of a brand new podcast I’m loving, called Targeted. Imagine that someone wants to see you crushed. Now, imagine they have the power to easily turn the system against you—to take away your job, your family, your business, even your basic rights like the ability to bank or travel freely. And imagine it didn’t even cost them much to do it. This is the story of those who have been targeted. Targeted uncovers the harrowing stories of people who have been singled out and systematically dismantled—whether for political reasons, personal vendettas, or simply for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Each episode deep dives into the tactics used against them, the devastating consequences, and the remarkable lessons they’ve learned in their fight to survive. Targeted breaks down the playbooks of those who weaponize systems of power, and gives listeners the tools to recognize and resist being targeted themselves. If you’ve ever wondered how systems meant to protect can be weaponized, or what to do if you find yourself in the crosshairs, this podcast is for you. You can find more episodes of Targeted at Targeted.com, YouTube or wherever you get podcasts. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In the late 1600s, King Louis XIV's kingdom was rocked by a deadly scandal that threatened to destroy his monarchy. There was a rash of poisonings going on throughout France, often perpetrated by the king's fellow noblemen who were murdering one another in order to speed up their inheritances or to knock off their rivals. It's a story that includes murder, political intrigue, black magic, sex, Satanism and conspiracies. It's a story that has gone down in history to be known as The Affair of the Poisons.
