Perplexity: A Mystery Podcast

On August 22nd, 1678 in Hartfordshire, a piece would be published in a local newspaper titled “The Mowing Devil.” The drawing consisted of a series of concentric rings of crops. In the middle stood a devil wielding a scythe. The pamphlet then told a strange tale. A farmer refused to pay a worker to mow his oat field, swearing he would rather the devil himself mow it. Some argue this was the very first documentation of what has become one of the most iconic symbols of alien activity. According to websites that track this phenomenon, more than 12,000 of these geometric patterns have been reported and in more than 60 countries.Today we are stepping into these fields — where the stalks bend, the patterns form, and the explanations vanish into thin air. Across quiet countrysides and moonlit plains, strange geometric shapes have appeared seemingly overnight — carved into the earth with precision no human hand could easily match.Some say it’s a message… a cosmic signature left by visitors from the great beyond. Others whisper about secret military technology, government conspiracy, or forces of nature we’ve never dared to understand. But one thing is certain — when the dew settles and the dawn light hits the fields, something is watching back.So are these puzzling spirals a hoax? A government conspiracy? Or proof of alien life?

In November 1988, a social worker showed up on Dorothea Puente’s doorstep, in Sacramento, CA just one mile from the Capitol and the Hall of Justice. The social worker, Judy Moise, was looking for one of Puente’s tenants, 51 year old Bert Montoya. He had stopped showing up to his social work meetings and this was his last known address. Dorothea left Judy Moise on high alert. Something about this situation and her demeanor did not feel right. Judy would end up contacting police, who arrived soon after with shovels. This would lead to days of digging in the back garden and a nearly 30 year secret finally coming to light. Beneath the flowers and apricot trees in this Sacramento garden, and behind the lace curtains in Dorothea’s windows, something sinister was happening. This is part 2 of the story of the Death House Land Lady, and female serial killer Dorothea Puente.------WAYS TO SUPPORT & CONNECT:Join the Patreon for perks and ad free episodes!Hit that follow button, drop a 5 star review, and spread the word!!!Buy Kaydra a coffee and get a shoutout!Merch!

Imagine a quiet, tree-lined street in downtown Sacramento in the 1980s. This is F Street and at 1426 sits a small 2 story powder blue Victorian boarding house. The homeowner is a pillar in her community. Well respected and kind. She tends her garden, hands out cookies, and promises vulnerable people a safe place to stay. To local charities and social workers, she’s a hero who takes in those no one else will.But beneath the flowers and apricot trees in her garden, and behind the lace curtains in those windows, something sinister is happening. This truth would come to light on Nov 11, 1988 when police would arrive at the home, searching for missing 51 year old Bert Montoya. This boarding house was Montoya’s last known address. Little did police know this disappearance would lead them to an elderly female serial killer. Rumors of suspicious activity in the homeowner’s back garden led police to dig. They would ultimately find the human remains of 7 victims. In today’s episode, we’re exploring how a grandmotherly caretaker became one of America’s most infamous serial killers, known as the “Death House Landlady.” We’ll walk through her troubled past, the twisted schemes she used to target society’s most vulnerable, and the investigation that finally exposed the horrors hidden at 1426 F Street.If you lived in Sacramento, CA in the 80s, you’ll recognize this name. She is one of the most infamous female serial killers in the U.S. This is the story of Dorothea Puente. ------WAYS TO SUPPORT & CONNECT:Join the Patreon for perks and ad free episodes!Hit that follow button, drop a 5 star review, and spread the word!!!Buy Kaydra a coffee and get a shoutout!Merch!

Today, we’re taking a journey to the heart of New Orleans — a city whose rhythm, flavor, and soul are deeply rooted in Black history. You’ll hear about traditions that have turned resistance into celebration and survival into art. In part 2 of this episode, I’m going to tell you the very dark tale of Madame Delphine LaLaurie and hopefully help you separate the fact from the folklore. This week, we discuss black history, folklore, traditions, and twisted tales from New Orleans, Louisiana.------WAYS TO SUPPORT & CONNECT:Join the Patreon for perks and ad free episodes!Hit that follow button, drop a 5 star review, and spread the word!!!Buy Kaydra a coffee and get a shoutout!Merch!

In 1993, the US Government served a search warrant against religious leader David Koresh. Koresh had been at the Mt Carmel Center in Waco, TX with a number of followers, including men, women, and children. The group had been stockpiling weapons and recently the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms and Explosives known as the ATF had received a tip regarding illegal weapons on the premises. The ATF would arrive guns blazing… leading to a 51 day stand off, the largest gunfight on US soil since the Civil War, and arguably one of the biggest news stories in the world. This is the story of the Branch Davidian Compound and David Koresh.

TW/CW: sexual assault and murder of a childA brutal and unsolved murder of a 16 year old girl left residents of a small town in North Carolina completely dismantled. At first glance, little is found about this cold case online. But the further I dug, the more disturbed I became.

TW: sexual assault, murder, extreme violence In September of 1978, 15 year old Mary Vincent was hitchhiking in California. She would accept a ride from a man in a blue van by the name of Lawrence Singleton. Little did Mary know, Singleton was a monster. Mary's life would be forever changed. This is an unbelievable and inspiring case of survival, but also of other lives that were senselessly lost due to insufficient California laws against sexual predators. This is the story of the survival of Mary Vincent and the murder of Roxanne Hayes. ------WAYS TO SUPPORT & CONNECT:Join the Patreon for perks and ad free episodes!Hit that follow button, drop a 5 star review, and spread the word!!!Buy Kaydra a coffee and get a shoutout!Merch!

In some versions of the story of the Garden of Eden, there is a third person: a mysterious vampiress. The story of this Dark Queen can be traced all the way back to 2700 BCE. There are endless myths and legends of her that connect to several religious texts. She is known to wear many faces and is too complex to put in a box. She’s also one of the oldest surviving mythological figures in all of Abrahamic mythology.

On April 11, 2005, a 56 year old man named Wu Shan left his townhome in the Gushan District of Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Over the past few months, the Wu Family had been very reclusive. Nobody had seen Shan leave his household in over a month, so neighbors took notice. Shan Wu then approached a neighbor. He was dirty, disheveled, and he appeared emaciated. He said just a few words to the neighbor: call an ambulance.What the neighbor and police would discover would shock the country and the world and go onto inspire the 2022 movie “Incantation.” This is the story of the Wu Family.-------Merch link: https://www.bonfire.com/store/perplexity-mystery-podcast/?srsltid=AfmBOor6jObuW4_jmnFoT3ibyFfIxBL1hI50LlthjheMTo6emgBneRcQGet 15% off your Comfrt order today! https://www.comfrt.com/KAYDRA48805------WAYS TO SUPPORT & CONNECT:Join the Patreon for perks and ad free episodes!Hit that follow button, drop a 5 star review, and spread the word!!!Buy Kaydra a coffee and get a shoutout!Merch!

Kaydra brings her sister back on the pod to discuss one of the most famous hauntings and iconic murder mysteries of all time. On November 13, 1974, Ronald DeFeo Jr. murdered his parents and four siblings in their beds with a rifle at 112 Ocean Avenue on Long Island. DeFeo would claim he was driven by supernatural forces.The following year, The Lutz would move in, making horrifying claims of the supernatural and fleeing after inhabiting the house for just under a month. Finally, Ed and Lorraine Warren would investigate the home along with many other paranormal groups, claiming demonic and paranormal activity. So is this place actually haunted? Or is it all a hoax? This is the story of the Amityville Horror house.-------Merch link: https://www.bonfire.com/store/perplexity-mystery-podcast/?srsltid=AfmBOor6jObuW4_jmnFoT3ibyFfIxBL1hI50LlthjheMTo6emgBneRcQSpecial thanks to Charlie Leopold for editing this episode!

In this conversational episode, Kaydra is joined by Steven Ray Morris (See Jurassic Right, Ologies, My Favorite Murder, Purrcast).Today we will be stepping back—way back—into a world that’s as mysterious as it is mind-blowing. For over 160 million years, enormous creatures roamed the Earth, living, thriving, and disappearing long before humans ever did. The story of these prehistoric giants is far more complex—and fascinating—than the fossils in a museum case might suggest. From towering predators to gentle giants, these creatures spark both scientific curiosity and wild imagination.So… How did they grow so massive? What colors flashed across their scales and feathers? And, of course, what truly brought their reign to an end? Buckle up, and be listening for any rumbling footsteps because today’s episode is all about dinosaurs!Check out more of Steven here:https://www.jurassicparkpodcast.com/home/were-back-steven-ray-morris-returns-see-jurassic-righthttp://www.stevenraymorris.com/fxib7hkc3xiozuc9qc7ahu58oplaacMerch link: https://www.bonfire.com/store/perplexity-mystery-podcast/?srsltid=AfmBOor6jObuW4_jmnFoT3ibyFfIxBL1hI50LlthjheMTo6emgBneRcQSpecial thanks to Charlie Leopold for editing this episode!

In 1994, a 13 year old boy named Nicholas Barclay would vanish from San Antonio, Texas. His disappearance never made the news. As time passed, his family knew the chances of him being alive were incredibly slim. But they were desperate for some type of closure. Over 3 years after Nicholas disappeared, his family would be contacted, saying Nicholas had been found alive in Linares, Spain. But how did he get all the way to Spain? Who had taken him? His family had so many questions.And when Nicholas stepped off the plane and was back in America… something felt off. He looked different. Sounded different. And the truth, once uncovered, would shock Nicholas’s family and the world. This is the perplexing story of the disappearance of Nicholas Barclay.This episode features Jules from FireEyesMedia and Missing In Hush Town:https://fireeyesmedia.comhttps://missinginhushtown.comspecial thanks to Charlie Leopold for editing this episode!

In the north eastern United States, there is a mountain range that is millions of years old and stretches for thousands of miles. For centuries, people who have walked these rolling hills have reported dark happenings, inexplicable phenomena, things that prowled the peaks searching for souls. These woods are strangled in fog. The pines lean in too close, their roots rising like ribs from the earth. And if you dare venture through, you might hear a soft humming. A hum older than blood, older than time. But don’t go searching for the source, don’t you dare. People say these mountains keep what wanders too deep. Today’s episode is all about history, legends, and encounters in the Appalachian mountains.Get 15% off your Comfrt order today! https://www.comfrt.com/KAYDRA48805------WAYS TO SUPPORT & CONNECT:Join the Patreon for perks and ad free episodes!Hit that follow button, drop a 5 star review, and spread the word!!!Buy Kaydra a coffee and get a shoutout!Merch!

Today we will be discussing a creature that has managed to stay relevant since the beginning of time. A creature that continues to engage, terrify, and perplex people all around the world. We see them in books, television, and endless folklore stories. Scale-covered titans with emerald eyes, beasts of fable flame, guardians in the mist.With wings unfurled, they ride the sun, their shadows cast across the hills.To some they are mythical, to others they are a symbol of power, rage, intelligence. Eternal keepers of the right, who soar where mortals dare not roam.

On January 25, 1959, a group of 10 Russian students, all experienced hikers, would head to Mount Otorten in the northern Ural Mountains of Russia for a 16 day exploration.The trip had been organized by the hiking team of the Ural Polytechnic Institute and they were sent out on an approved route. 1 hiker would return early due to illness, but the other 9 would continue on their voyage. Just over 1 week into their excursion, the 9 hikers would die mysteriously.This mystery has led to countless theories ranging from the supernatural to foul play and government cover up.

In late January 2013, there was an eerie sight in the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico in Bradenton, FL: an unmanned vessel, floating in silence. The boat was out of gas, the anchor was missing, and so was the driver. Where the driver of the boat had gone, and what happened to him still remains a mystery today. No facts, no answers, just theories. A father, a husband, a teacher, a man who had so much more life to live. This is the story of the disappearance and unsolved death of Patrick Mullins.If you have information on the death of Patrick Mullins, please contact the Manatee County Sheriff's Office at (941) 747-3011.Get 15% off your Comfrt order today! https://www.comfrt.com/KAYDRA48805------WAYS TO SUPPORT & CONNECT:Join the Patreon for perks and ad free episodes!Hit that follow button, drop a 5 star review, and spread the word!!!Buy Kaydra a coffee and get a shoutout!Merch!

In 1973, a new term would be coined that perplexed people around the world. The term was coined after a bank robbery in Sweden snowballed into a 6 day standoff involving 4 hostages. The hostages were all released unharmed, and they refused to testify against their captors in court. Additionally, the victims seemingly showed adoration for their captors, and hostility against police.So was this a survival technique… or was it something much more perplexing?
