Did the U.K.’s Most Infamous Family Massacre End in a Wrongful Conviction? For decades, questions have circled the Whitehouse Farm murders. The British justice system has made it extraordinarily difficult to get definitive answers.

Get ready for episode 2 of our White House Farm Murders 3-part series. It'll be available this Thursday, but episode 1 is available now. Link is to Heidi Blake's article, such a great source, but wait until after you've listened to all three episodes to read it πŸ˜†

This was a very twisty case! It was close to our neck of the woods. We covered it in our pod in May 2021, episode #197.

2 Oregon men die from exposure in a forest after they went out to look for Sasquatch Sasquatch is a folkloric beast thought by some to roam the forests, particularly in the Pacific Northwest.

We want there to be a place for sasquatch out there as much as anyone, but please be smart about it. Those bigfoot reality shows you watch on basic cable have crews and staff, and are as real as a $40 Rolex. Be careful out there.

Tesla Cybertruck Owner Finds Grass Growing Inside His Truck – Trapped Water & Dirt Buildup Create a Fertile Environment for Plant Life A Cybertruck owner was surprised to find plant life growing inside his truck. After he made the discovery, the owner said, β€œGrass growing in my Cybertruck. It's Really Green, but I don't want it, and ...

The cybertruck is pretty weird all by itself, but did you know you could grow a little farm in them?

Kid Nation When 40 kids try to forge a new society in the desert it soon descends into chaos.

40 kids left alone in a ghost town sounds like great TV, right? We did an episode on this back in June (#325) and now you can watch this doc about it on Vice and Apple TV

This was, of course, the last true war on Christmas! - we talked about it on our Christmas Day episode #261 a couple years ago

Federal regulators prohibit drone flights in dozens of locations across New Jersey The Federal Aviation Administration is temporarily barring drone flights over critical infrastructure at 22 locations in New Jersey amid mounting concerns about a flurry of reported drone sightings.

Today's podcast episode is an update of the latest in the NJ drone hysteria. Now the FAA has temporarily banned drone flying in parts of the state. Interesting...

These photos don’t show the drones reported in New Jersey An aviation mystery is in the air this holiday season, and the internet is buzzing with theories. Since mid-November, pe

Fake news about the drones just mucks up genuine efforts to find out what’s going on. Trolls doing this don’t care, but when you pass this along on social media you are a useful idiot for assholes. Please take 30 seconds to fact-check.

MTG’s New Drone Theory Is Her Most Unhinged Yet Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene continues to speculate wildly about the drones.

This kind of thing doesn't help. Please stop politicizing things you don't understand. The New Jersey drone phenomenon deserves an intelligent explanation and more transparency from the government, but this kind of childish stupidity only makes that harder.

Ooh, we haven't heard of this lake monster before - it sounds like something we'd love to talk about on our podcast. Is it completely fictional or based on something real? We love your art!!

'Drone sightings' prompt worries, but these theories could explain what's happening Federal authorities including the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security say these sightings are mostly not drones at all.

The Chinese? The Iranians? Extraterrestrials? A new NFL spygate? Who or what is behind the drones blanketing New Jersey? Listen to a new Weird World Weird News Special Report: The Drones that Ate New Jersey! uploaded today.
