SERIOUSLY STRANGE | Hosted by Rob Gavagan

3 Horrific Things People Did While High | SS #75 In this episode, we examine three drug users who took being high to a totally new and terrifying level. Rob highlights the harrowing consequences of drug use through disturbing real-life stories. It begins with Ricky Castle, whose descent into drug addiction and occult activities ultimately culminated in a violent murder driven by delusions. The narrative then shifts to the case of rapper Big Lurch, whose PCP use led to a horrifying act of cannibalism. Finally, the video recounts the tragic events caused by Dale Nelson's alcohol and LSD-induced rampage, resulting in multiple murders and acts of cannibalism. 3 Pranks That Went Horribly Wrong | SS #35 April Fools' Day may inspire mischief, but be careful not to go too far. But I suppose that doesn't really matter all the time, does it? This episode explores the consequences of seemingly harmless pranks that resulted in tragic outcomes. It recounts incidents involving reckless behavior, such as a firefighter's fatal pursuit of pranksters, a girl accidentally shot during a scare prank, and elderly sisters killed due to a covered stop sign. Terrifying Mental Disorders | SS #9 This episode explores three intriguing psychological disorders: Capgras delusion, Alien hand syndrome, and Walking corpse syndrome. Capgras delusion involves a person believing loved ones are imposters due to brain trauma or mental conditions, leading to significant distrust and chaos in relationships. Alien hand syndrome causes a person's hand to act independently without their control, sometimes engaging in harmful or inappropriate actions. Walking corpse syndrome, also known as Cotard's delusion, makes individuals believe they are dead or decaying despite being alive, with varying levels of severity. 5 SCARY True POKÉMON GO Experiences | SS #66 There's no doubt that Pokémon Go is a revolutionary game that gets people out of the house.

Belle Gunness [NEVER CAUGHT] | SERIAL KILLER FILES #12 Say hello to the first female serial killer of the series. And she was never caught! Belle Gunness was a Norwegian-American serial killer born in 1859. She gained notoriety in the early 20th century for luring men through Lonely Hearts ads and matrimonial agencies to her farm in La Porte, Indiana. Belle is suspected of murdering numerous suitors for financial gain, including collecting life insurance. The exact number of her victims remains uncertain, but estimates range from 14 to over 40. In 1908, her farmhouse burned down, revealing multiple bodies on the property. Belle's fate is unknown, as she was not found among the dead, leading to speculation that she may have fled. The REAL LIFE Buffalo Bill [UNSOLVED] | #ANATOMYofMURDER #22 Robert Janczewski was every bit as twisted as the infamous movie character he inspired: Buffalo Bill from The Silence of the Lambs. On 4 October 2017, 19 years after the murder of Katarzyna Zowada, police arrested 52-year-old Robert Janczewski in Kraków's Kazimierz district. Investigators searched his apartment and found blood in the bathroom. As a result, the bath and frame were secured for further testing. He was a person of interest in 1999 but had not been arrested. Janczewski fit the psychological profile as he was trained in martial arts, knew the victim, visited the victim's grave, and had a history of harassing women. He had previously worked in a dissecting lab, where he dealt with human corpses. He also worked at the Cracow Institute of Zoology, where he could observe the process of preparing animal skins. His employment was terminated the day after he killed all of the institute's rabbits during his shift; he couldn't explain his actions. Janczewski was charged with aggravated murder with particular cruelty. He maintains that he did not know Katarzyna Zowada. As of September 2019, Janczewski has not yet been released. Investigators requested a closed trial. The Casanova Killer - Paul John Knowles | ANATOMY OF MURDER #13 Known for his good looks and killer charm...and his love for murdering women, Paul John Knowles was an American serial killer active in the 1970s. Known for his charming demeanor, he embarked on a killing spree across several states, targeting both men and women, particularly hitchhikers. His crimes involved robbery, assault, and rape. Knowles left notes at crime scenes, taunting law enforcement. He was captured in 1974 after a high-speed chase, convicted of multiple murders, and killed by an FBI agent in December 1974 during an escape attempt. The total number of his victims remains uncertain. Send us a Text Message. Please Support the SHOW by donating today! Support the Show.

In this podcast: An American Honor Killing, the horrifying UNSOLVED Girl Scout Murders, the tragic death of Judith Barsi, and the sad story of Holly Jones. 1. An American HONOR KILLING | ANATOMY OF MURDER #9 A fun-loving teenage girl murdered in the name of "honor"... Palestina Zein "Tina" Isa was an American teenage girl murdered in an honor killing in St. Louis, Missouri by her parents, Zein and Maria Isa. Her death was recorded on audiotape during FBI surveillance of Zein Isa due to his association with the Abu Nidal Organization (ANO).

Maria Isa was later resentenced to life imprisonment and died in prison. 2. Horrifying UNSOLVED GIRL SCOUT Murders | ANATOMY OF MURDER #11 The Girl Scout murders refer to a tragic event that occurred at Camp Scott, a Girl Scout camp in Oklahoma in June of 1977. Three young girls, Michele Guse, Lori Farmer, and Denise Milner, were sexually assaulted and murdered in their tent. The case remains unsolved, but suspicion fell on an escaped inmate named Gene Leroy Hart, who had a criminal history. Hart was later apprehended but acquitted of the murders in a trial. Evidence was re-tested and tested for DNA a few years ago and the results have now concluded that Hart was the killer. Lori Farmer’s mother, Sheri Farmer, has felt the pain of this crime for 45 years. She says she and her husband Bo have some peace, but there will never be closure. Gene Leroy Hart died in prison just a few months after he was acquitted of these murders. He was in prison for another crime. UPDATE: Killer Identified in 1977 Girl Scout Murders (link) 3.

On May 12, 2003, while walking a friend home, she was kidnapped, sexually assaulted, and strangled by Michael Briere. After dismembering her body, Briere attempted to discard the remains by placing them in two bags and used weights to try to sink them in the Toronto Harbour. The bags were found the next morning.
