THE TRULY BIZARRE
Somethings are just unexplained, or beyond the scope of human understanding. These episodes put a splinter in your mind.
Episode 38: A Glitch In the Matrix- The Mysterious Death of Erin Valenti
In October 2019, Erin Valenti, a 33 year-old successful CEO of a tech company, traveled to California from Utah for business. On the day she was set to return, she made a series of bizarre phone calls to her parents, at one point, stating, ""It's all a game, it's a thought experiment, we're in the Matrix." She was then never heard from again, and police determined that she was "voluntarily" missing. 5 days later, she was found dead in the back seat of her rental car, parked on a street in a residential area of San Jose. No signs of foul play. Clean toxicology report. Official cause of death? "Acute manic episode". Join us as we explore this case and present our (and the internet's) theories on what *really* happened to Erin Valenti.
Episode 28: What Happened to Grace Walden Stephens?
What if I told you that the most credible major witness in the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was also the only one who refused to agree with the official FBI story? Not so odd. But what if I then told you that before the trial of supposed culprit James Earl Ray she was suddenly diagnosed with a mental illness, declared legally unfit to appear in court, and then placed in a psychiatric hospital against her will, for 10 years? Not weird enough? Well, what if I then told you that after being released in order to testify at a new investigation into the assassination, she disappeared *again* before she was unable to testify, only this time, there are no traces of her existing. No obituaries. No internet presence. No medical records. Not even a picture. Join us as we detail one of the most odd aspects of the MLK assassination theories as well as the alleged conspiracy as a whole.
Episode 25: Cemetery Love
Tonight, we discuss the bizarre cases of Anatoly Moskvin, AKA the "Russian Doll Man", and Carl Tanzler, two people who loved the dead a bit *too* much. Moskvin kept a collection of children's corpses that he turned into dolls he believed were inhabited by the spirits of children that could be brought back to life one day. Tanzler was a medical professional that developed an obsession with a patient that went beyond the boundaries of life and death.

Episode 22: Unit 731- The Laboratory of the Devil
During WWII, a covert Japanese military unit known as Unit 731 was created for the supposed purpose of chemical and biological warfare research. The truth was that the unit carried out some of the most horrific war atrocities in modern history, in the form of bizarre methods of human experimentation. Live vivisections of humans, exposure to the plague and anthrax, and weapons testing on live subjects only scratch the surface of the horror show that occurred in what became known as- the Laboratory of the Devil.
