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!

Today, we’re opening the vault of the unwanted, the uncanny, and the utterly cursed. From a box that plagued multiple owners with nightmares and faulty technology, to a chest that killed multiple recipients, these cursed objects carry with them the weight of tragedy—and the promise of terror.So pour yourself a drink, dim the lights, and join me... if you dare. Because for today’s episode, we’re peeling back the cobwebs and stepping into the shadowed world of cursed objects—where once you touch them, they never really let you go.Today’s episode is all about the legends of the dybbuk box and the conjured chest.-------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. Today’s episode is all about dragons.Special thanks to Charlie Leopold for editing this week's episode.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 exploring one of the most famous mysteries of all time. 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?

In March of this year, I dove deep into the Satanic Panic, or so I thought. I left that week thinking the Satanic Panic was nothing more than a baseless moral panic, one that ended up ruining the lives of many innocent adults, and brainwashing children into having false memories, thinking they had suffered horrific abuse. But what if I told you that yes, while all of that is still true, there were others during that time hiding in the shadows, doing the very things people during the panic feared?And… what if I told you they may have had help from some of the most powerful people in the world?Today, we will be exploring one of the most unsettling mysteries of the 80s, and chilling ties to the Central Intelligence Agency.

Today we will be discussing the most feared monster in all of Filipino folklore. These shapeshifting creatures appear as humans during the day, and transform into horrifying predators at night. They have been described as having backward feet, reversed toenails and bloodshot eyes. These creatures are so deeply ingrained into Filipino beliefs, that some rural areas of the Philippines continue to hold the belief in this creature today.This is the story of the Aswang.LIMITED TIME: use code SUMMER50 to get 50% off your first month on Patreon ------WAYS TO SUPPORT & CONNECT:Join the Patreon for perks and ad free episodes starting at just $2/month: Patreon.com/perplexitymysterypodcastHit that follow button, drop a 5 star review, and spread the word!!!Buy Kaydra a coffee and get a shoutout: https://buymeacoffee.com/perplexitymysterypodcastMerch: https://www.bonfire.com/store/perplexity-mystery-podcast/ be sure to tag us on Instagram in your merch!Subscribe to the YouTube channel! https://www.youtube.com/@perplexitymysterypodcastWebsite: https://perplexitymysteryp.wixsite.com/perplexityFollow Perplexity on Instagram and TikTok @PerplexityMysteryPodcast.CONTACT: Have a story to tell or want to request a topic?

Vladimir Pokhilko was the president of AnimaTek, a software company based out of San Francisco, CA. The conclusion of his legacy for the last 2 decades has been as follows: not seeing a way out of his financial troubles, in 1998, Pokhilko brutally murdered his 39 year old wife, Yelena Fedotova, and their 12 year old son, Peter, before he completed suicide. But recently, a 2022 documentary has attempted to re-write this narrative, coming forward with multiple experts and witnesses, alleging Vladimir Pokhilko was not a murderer at all: he was targeted by a Russian mob. He and his family were actually murdered. But could this be true? Or is it just a baseless conspiracy theory?This is the story of the Tetris Murders.Astonishing Legends: https://astonishinglegends.com------WAYS TO SUPPORT & CONNECT:Join the Patreon for perks and ad free episodes starting at just $2/month: Patreon.com/perplexitymysterypodcastHit that follow button, drop a 5 star review, and spread the word!!!Buy Kaydra a coffee and get a shoutout: https://buymeacoffee.com/perplexitymysterypodcastMerch: https://www.bonfire.com/store/perplexity-mystery-podcast/ be sure to tag us on Instagram in your merch!Subscribe to the YouTube channel! https://www.youtube.com/@perplexitymysterypodcastWebsite: https://perplexitymysteryp.wixsite.com/perplexityFollow Perplexity on Instagram and TikTok @PerplexityMysteryPodcast.CONTACT: Have a story to tell or want to request a topic?

Established in 1867, Fort Concho was built along the banks of the Concho River in San Angelo, Texas to protect frontier settlements, patrol and map the vast landscapes of West Texas, and to quell local threats. Hundreds of soldiers lived here, they would have comradery here, a second family, but they also experienced extreme trauma, battles, violence, bloodshed. And it seems some of the residents of Fort Concho never left. As you continue to venture through San Angelo you will also find many other haunted hot spots, from haunted hotels to a haunted university. So let’s get into it. This is the story of Fort Concho and some other haunted hot spots in San Angelo, Texas.------Donate to the Wilma June Nissen Amplified DNA Fund: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-support-dna-tech-to-find-wilma-june-nissens-killer------WAYS TO SUPPORT & CONNECT:Join the Patreon for perks and ad free episodes starting at just $2/month: Patreon.com/perplexitymysterypodcastHit that follow button, drop a 5 star review, and spread the word!!!Buy Kaydra a coffee and get a shoutout: https://buymeacoffee.com/perplexitymysterypodcastMerch: https://www.bonfire.com/store/perplexity-mystery-podcast/ be sure to tag us on Instagram in your merch!Subscribe to the YouTube channel! https://www.youtube.com/@perplexitymysterypodcastWebsite: https://perplexitymysteryp.wixsite.com/perplexityFollow Perplexity on Instagram and TikTok @PerplexityMysteryPodcast.CONTACT: Have a story to tell or want to request a topic?

In a remote area of Siberia in June of 1908, there would be a massive explosion. According to most scientists, this explosion was caused by an asteroid that exploded with the power of 250 Hiroshima bombs. This explosion would be spotted around the world and have ripple effects. But at the time, hardly anyone knew it had happened because this area of Siberia was so incredibly remote. It wouldn’t be investigated until years later and scientists still can’t be one hundred percent certain of the cause. This explosion has led to thousands of scientific studies, and fascinating conspiracy theories. This is the story of the Tunguska event.----------------------WAYS TO SUPPORT & CONNECT:Join the Patreon for perks and ad free episodes starting at just $2/month: Patreon.com/perplexitymysterypodcastHit that follow button, drop a 5 star review, and spread the word!!!Buy Kaydra a coffee and get a shoutout: https://buymeacoffee.com/perplexitymysterypodcastMerch: https://www.bonfire.com/store/perplexity-mystery-podcast/ be sure to tag us on Instagram in your merch!Subscribe to the YouTube channel! https://www.youtube.com/@perplexitymysterypodcastWebsite: https://perplexitymysteryp.wixsite.com/perplexityFollow Perplexity on Instagram and TikTok @PerplexityMysteryPodcast.CONTACT: Have a story to tell or want to request a topic?

In the 1800s, a cemetery in Brunswick, NY opened to the public. The 22 acres were lush and green. Today, the cemetery is abandoned. While it is full of historic monuments and markers, many areas are falling apart and it is often vandalised. The cemetery is only open to the public one day out of the year. This place is chalk full of urban legends, stories of tragic deaths, and alleged paranormal activity. Some even say this place is a Gateway to Hell. This is the story of the Forest Park or “Pinewoods” Cemetery.Go check out Believing the Bizarre! https://believingthebizarre.com----------------------WAYS TO SUPPORT & CONNECT:Join the Patreon for perks and ad free episodes starting at just $2/month: Patreon.com/perplexitymysterypodcastHit that follow button, drop a 5 star review, and spread the word!!!Buy Kaydra a coffee and get a shoutout: https://buymeacoffee.com/perplexitymysterypodcastMerch: https://www.bonfire.com/store/perplexity-mystery-podcast/ be sure to tag us on Instagram in your merch!Subscribe to the YouTube channel! https://www.youtube.com/@perplexitymysterypodcastWebsite: https://perplexitymysteryp.wixsite.com/perplexityFollow Perplexity on Instagram and TikTok @PerplexityMysteryPodcast.CONTACT: Have a story to tell or want to request a topic?

Beginning in about the 1980s, a wildfire would spread throughout the US, and by the late 90s, to many parts of the world. These were modern day witch trials. A distorted lens of hysteria had taken over, and the end result would be more than 12,000 unsubstantiated cases of Satanic ritualistic abuse. Lives were destroyed by unspeakable rumors and wrongful convictions. Not even Dungeons and Dragons and heavy metal music were safe. Churches were alleging backmasking was being used by rock musicians to put satanic messaging into their music. People were playing their records backwards to see if they were satanic. And to some extent, one could argue this movement still persists today. This is the story of The Satanic Panic.This episode features Scared All The Time Podcast with hosts Ed Voccola (Rick and Morty, Bless The Harts) and Chris Culler (Blumhouse, The Aviary).

On October 4, 1978 the body of a young female would be found along a rural road in Lyon County, Iowa. She was badly decomposed, partially clothed, and had been bound with rope. She was labeled a Jane Doe and the case quickly turned cold. She wouldn’t be identified until 28 years later in 2006. What happened to this woman and who was responsible remains a mystery to this day.

There are several times in this episode I say "Casey" unintentionally. I am referring to Shawn CASEY Adkins.On December 27, 2010, a 13 year old girl of Mitchell County, Texas disappeared. She was last seen leaving her mother’s house to go hang out with a friend. But she never showed up. It wouldn’t be until March 16, 2013 Hailey’s remains were recovered. 8 years later, a man by the name of Shawn Casey Adkins would be arrested for her murder, who at the time of the disappearance had been dating her mother. He was given a prison sentence but recently on June 26, 2023, Shawn Adkins was released due to lack of evidence. Her death would shake Mitchell County and leave her family heartbroken and desperate for answers. So what happened to her?

On Thanksgiving Eve, November 24, 1971, a northwest flight was commandeered by a man wearing sunglasses, a suit, and carrying a simple briefcase. He became a legend after he parachuted out of the plane with 200,000 dollars and was never seen again. He was later labeled the most clever and bold airplane hijacker of all time. We have just passed the 50th anniversary of the only unsolved airplane hijacking crime to date. So what happened to this guy? Who was he? And why did he do it?

Well known in Ohio folklore, there are humanoid frog-like creatures that stand at about 4 feet or 1.2 meters tall. According to local legend, they were first spotted around 70 years ago, in May 1955. Sightings by locals led to numerous police reports and would later inspire muscles, books, and more recently, even humorous horror found footage. In 2023, this creature even became the city's mascot. But were these sightings nothing more than a hoax? Was it a case of mistaken identity? Or was it an undiscovered creature? A creature from another dimension? This is the story of the Loveland Frogmen.In the second half of the episode, Kaydra also shares several other alleged cryptid encounters from Ohio including tales of Mothman and Dogman sightings.----------------------WAYS TO SUPPORT & CONNECT:Join the Patreon for perks and ad free episodes starting at just $1/month: Patreon.com/perplexitymysterypodcastHit that follow button, drop a 5 star review, and spread the word!!!Buy Kaydra a coffee and get a shoutout: https://buymeacoffee.com/perplexitymysterypodcastMerch: https://www.bonfire.com/store/perplexity-mystery-podcast/ be sure to tag us on Instagram in your merch!Subscribe to the YouTube channel! https://www.youtube.com/@perplexitymysterypodcastWebsite: https://perplexitymysteryp.wixsite.com/perplexityFollow Perplexity on Instagram and TikTok @PerplexityMysteryPodcast.CONTACT: Have a story to tell or want to request a topic?

Today we will be discussing one of the most influential and iconic rappers of all time. Rising from a childhood of activism and poverty, he became an iconic poet, lyricist, actor, and rapper who helped redefine the sound of West Coast hip-hop. But his life was tragically cut short at the young age of 25 on September 7th, 1996. He was brutally shot four times at a red light on his way to a Las Vegas nightclub. Hours before the shooting, he was involved in the assault of a man named Orlando Anderson, who allegedly had ties to the Crips. This murder case went cold for over 25 years, fueling endless conspiracy theories and speculation about who was really behind his killing... or, if this rapper even died at all. However, in July 2023, a new search warrant was executed in connection to the murder. And now it seems the answers may have been there all along. This is the perplexing story of Tupac Shakur. ----------------------WAYS TO SUPPORT & CONNECT:Join the Patreon for perks and ad free episodes starting at just $1/month: Patreon.com/perplexitymysterypodcastHit that follow button, drop a 5 star review, and spread the word!!!Buy Kaydra a coffee and get a shoutout: https://buymeacoffee.com/perplexitymysterypodcastMerch: https://www.bonfire.com/store/perplexity-mystery-podcast/ be sure to tag us on Instagram in your merch!Subscribe to the YouTube channel! https://www.youtube.com/@perplexitymysterypodcastWebsite: https://perplexitymysteryp.wixsite.com/perplexityFollow Perplexity on Instagram and TikTok @PerplexityMysteryPodcast.CONTACT: Have a story to tell or want to request a topic?

The motto of this cult is "Unseen. Unknown. Unheard." They managed to remain hidden for decades and were controlled by a woman claiming to be the female reincarnate of Jesus Christ. She ran this cult for 30 years. She abused the medical system, committing people to psychiatric hospitals without their consent and forcing them to have unethical medical procedures, as well as stealing babies from pregnant women and raising them as her own.She would severely abuse these stolen children for twenty years. She drugged adults and children and manipulated them into giving away their money. She had connections in politics, hospitals, and the education system, and this all was allegedly so she could have the perfect family.This is the story of one of the most evil women in Australian history, Anne Hamilton Byrne and her cult, also known as The Family.This episode features 13 Degrees of Screams podcast.

We've all thought we've heard something and been mistaken. But what if you were persistently having these experiences? What if the sounds were vivid? Like an actual voice or song? What if you plugged your ears and the noise was coming from inside your head?This is different from a hearing problem or when some people say there's a narrator in their head. This is just how normal sound sounds to us, except it seems to be coming from inside your head. I'm talking about auditory hallucinations, also known as paracusias.Within my research into this topic, I also came across something called exploding head syndrome. And do I have some stories to share with you today. These types of experiences can also happen in such a way that the sound appears to come from another room.For me, the big question is, can this all be explained by science? Or could this have something to do with psychic/medium like abilities? Could this have links to the paranormal? I'll leave that up to you.Today we will dive into auditory hallucinations.--------------------WAYS TO SUPPORT & CONNECT:- Join the Patreon for perks, a show shout out, and ad free episodes starting at just $1/month: Patreon.com/perplexitymysterypodcast- Hit that follow button, drop a 5 star review, and spread the word!- Buy Kaydra a coffee and get a shoutout- Get your mysterious merch & tag us on Instagram! - Subscribe to the YouTube channel!- Check out Perplexity's Website- Buy Kaydra an item on her Amazon Wishlist and get a shoutout! - Follow Perplexity on Instagram and TikTokSend your stories and topic requests to [email protected]:1) https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/symptoms/23233-auditory-hallucinations2) Reddit3) Wikipedia4) https://www.syfy.com/syfy-wire/science-is-demystifying-why-some-people-hear-ghosts5) https://www.medicalrepublic.com.au/hallucinations-or-the-whispers-of-ghosts/46186) https://www.sciencealert.com/researchers-are-figuring-out-why-some-people-can-hear-the-voices-of-the-dead7) https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S01918869080009498) https://jcsm.aasm.org/doi/10.5664/jcsm.8790#:~:text=Exploding%20head%20syndrome%20(EHS)%20is,during%20the%20sleep%2Dwake%20transition.&text=The%20attacks%20are%20characterized%20by,%2C%20roar%2C%20or%20buzzing%20noise.

On November 5, 1975, a 22-year old logger named Travis Walton was working in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest near Heber, Arizona. Part of a 7 man logging crew, Walton was a hard worker out of Snowflake, Arizona, and had gotten along with his co-workers without any issue. It seemed like any other typical day. But when 6 loggers would tell police their co-worker, Travis, had been taken by a UFO, things would go from ordinary to perplexing and unbelievable. The Travis Walton UFO incident is one of the most well-known alleged alien abduction cases in history. But was it a hoax? A crime? Or a true alien encounter.
