Strangeful Things!

• The Crescent Hotel
  Constructed in 1886, the Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas is still kicking. In fact, my friend got married there not too long ago. It has a long and storied history. And tell that story we shall.  We won't shy away from the ghosts. We will tell it all: from the healing waters that tricked […]
• Jeffrey Epstein - Episode 4
  Took a while, but there is enough out on Epstein now to finally finish this off. Well, for the time being.  We really don't want to become the Epstein show but there was no way we could not follow up on the summer of coverup, the autumn of lies, and the winter of...the Department of […]
• Jeffrey Epstein - Episode 3
  We started this story with a guy who had no qualifications and all the access in the world. By the end, he was dead in a jail cell that somehow had no working cameras, no guards paying attention, and no real answers. In this final part of the Epstein series, we cover the "suicide" that […]
• Jeffrey Epstein - Episode 2
  We continue with the awful story of that peice of crap Epstein. We know he had a ridiculous life full of private jets, mansions, and famous friends who acted like hanging out with a convicted predator was just another Tuesday.  But this is when it all started to look like it MAYBE might catch up […]
• Jeffrey Epstein - Episode 1
  You ever notice how rich people never seem to get in trouble for anything? Like no matter what they do, they end up with more money, more houses, and zero consequences?  We have been here before. Remember the Franklin Scandal?  How about Johnny Gosch?  Or those Qidiots imagining things when they could have just looked […]
• Henry Louis Wallace
  You know, here on Strangeful Things we have talked about a lot of malicious scumbags, and this week is no different, but it sort of is different in that we are dealing with a killer who does something I have never personally experienced and it is not an aspect of his physical violence. It is […]
• Luigi Lucheni
  This week, we're taking a scalpel (or, more accurately, a janky pawn-shop file) to the life of Luigi Lucheni—the anarchist who assassinated Empress Elisabeth of Austria in 1898. We dig into Lucheni's trash fire of a childhood, the rise of anarchism in Europe, and the absolute disaster that was monarchy back then (and honestly, now […]
• The Atlas Vampire
  This episode, we are diving into Stockholm's darkest unsolved murder—The Atlas Vampire case of 1932. We trace Lilly Lindeström's journey from Malmö to the Atlas district, unpack the chilling (cause it is cold!) Walpurgis Night timeline, and dissect the staged crime scene and blood-drinking rumors through the lens of a scholarly paper I found with facts […]
• Smiley Face Killers
  We are going to head to multiple locations to track down the real story on the theory of the Smiley Face Killers. The sad story starts with someone from my own alma mater, Fordham University and has literally never ended. Is there an organized group of serial killers kidnapping and murdering young men, or do […]
• The Monster of Florence Part 2
  The case isn't solved just because the cops said it was. In part two of Monster of Florence we dig through the mess of suspects, confessions, and conspiracy theories—including Satanic cults, horny Sardinians, and one particularly persistent picnic trio. If Italy's goal was to confuse everyone forever, mission accomplished. But! Never let it be said […]
