She wasn't allowed to talk about her family life with anyone - and it wasn't until she was 23 that she was told why... Next we're talking about the infamous and super creepy Westfield Watcher. Several days after Maria and Derek Broaddus closed on the almost 4,000-square foot home, they received a letter from someone who claimed to be watching the home and that his family had been watching the home for years. The Broaddus family purchased the house for $1.3 million to raise their three children, not far from where Maria Broaddus had grown up, but the idyllic home turned out to be less than wonderful...

Happy Friday! Get ready, these stories are CRAZY... First, we're talking about the supposed reincarnation of the Polluck twins - John and Florence Polluck lost their girls in a tragic car accident in 1957.. A year later, Florence gave birth to twins, which John thought were his girls reincarnated. John sounds a little crazy, but the personality traits, birthmarks, and even memories the twins had of their late sisters are too freaky to just be a coincidence... Then, we're talking about the longest flight ever, Santiago Flight 513 - On September 4, 1954, Santiago Airlines Flight 513 departed from Aachen, West Germany, destined for Porto Alegre, Brazil. The flight should have taken around 18 hours, instead, it took 35 years. On October 12, 1989, without any contact with air traffic controllers, Santiago Flight 513 was spotted circling the Porto Alegre airport, where it eventually made a successful landing. Upon opening the doors, authorities found something still more shocking: the skeletons of 92 people, buckled into their seats.

Today we're discussing two landmark alien-abduction cases - Antônio Villas Boas and Barney and Betty Hill. Antônio Villas Boas was a Brazilian farmer who claimed to have been abducted by extraterrestrials in 1957. The night he was abducted, he was picked and probed, gassed in a trapped room and ended the night having sex with a super hottie alien and getting her pregnant. Although his story sounds silly as hell; Boas took it to the grave. In addition, the amount of radiation that Boas had absorbed after that event, still confuses medical experts and physicists to this day. On the night of Sept. 19, 1961, Barney and Betty Hill were driving on a rural highway to their home in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. On an isolated road snaking through the White Mountains, the couple later recounted, they saw a bright object that appeared to be following their car. They arrived home around 5 a.m., unable to account for two hours of the night but feeling that something terrible had happened to them. It took a while, but the Hills eventually remembered the life-altering event that befell them on that lonely stretch of highway: They’d been abducted by f*cking aliens. Check out our website!

A familicide is a technical term for “family annihilation” which basically refers to the killing of one’s entire f*cking family. Today, we're each sharing a horrifically disturbing story of a familicide. Happy Friday! First, we're talking about the super recent familicide of the Watt's family. Last year, a**hole Chris Watt's, murdered his pregnant wife Shanann and two daughters, (4-year-old Bella and 3-year-old Celeste), and then stuffed their bodies in oil tanks. Although Watts initially denied having any involvement with his wife’s and daughters’ deaths, he later confessed. Then, we're talking about the New Zealand Bain family murders. After nearly a quarter-century, this whole case still confuses TF out of us. Either Robin Bain killed all but one of his family and then himself, or his son David murdered his parents and three siblings, in June of 1994. Initially convicted of the murders, David was found not guilty in 2009 at a second trial after spending 13 years in prison. Check out our website! Contact us! Support the show

Then, we're talking about the freakiest cult ever, Heaven's Gate. Heaven's Gate was a UFO cult, which we love; but also led to the largest mass suicide in U.S. history, which we hate.

The "Reptilian Elite" suggests that in ancient times, a group of advanced reptiles from the Alpha Draconins star system came to Earth and infiltrated the governments of the ancient civilizations in order to control all the humans and enslave them and became their rulers and bred with other humans to form crossbreeds so that their DNA can infiltrate the minds of humans. With their DNA inside our systems, they can control us by making us dumber, slower, and weaker and therefore easier to control.
