In February of 2013 in Los Angeles, California, a guest at a downtown hotel turned on the tap in their room. What would come out was a thin, brown trickle of liquid. The hotel started getting call after call, guests complaining about low water pressure, and water that tasted wrong. Maintenance would head up to the roof to check the tanks. Inside, they would find the body of a 21 year old woman who had been missing.
Her death would result in speculation, sensationalism, conspiracy theories, and endless questions. With some claiming a hotel cover up, and others believing she had been tormented by something paranormal.
Today’s perplexing episode is all about the haunting story of Elisa Lam, and the Cecil Hotel.

In Northern California lies a mysterious mountain that you can see from the interstate for miles. Sitting at 14,179 feet above sea level, the area is blanketed in snow and volcanic rock. It sits in the largest national forest: Shasta-Trinity. There are over 2 million acres of land, hundreds of lakes, and five wilderness areas, making this a perfect area for hiking, camping, and spiritual enlightenment.
As for who or what lives here, it depends who you ask. Aside from the wildlife, there are claims of aliens, tall people, Bigfoot, reptilians, and there even stories of an entire underground city with seven to ten foot tall survivors from a sunken continent. Others claim the mountain contains mystical properties. It serves as a focal point for New Age practitioners and a doorway between dimensions.
So today we're going to go through this mountain layer by layer. Looking not just at the rocks, but what is sacred and what is hidden. Why is this place the mecca for spiritual enlightenment and otherworldly presences? Today’s perplexing episode is all about Mount Shasta!

It's the summer of 1725, in a small village called Kisiljevo, in what is now Serbia. A man named Petar Blagojevich has been dead for about ten weeks.
In that time, nine people in the village have died. Some of them, according to the villagers, died within just a day or so of falling ill. Before they died, several of the villagers claimed Petar had come to them in the night, lain on top of them, and choked them. Petar was even said to have visited his son, requesting food. When his son refused to give him anything, Petar killed him with dozens of bites, draining him of his blood.
The villagers are terrified, and they know what needs to be done. They need to open his grave. The villagers pry it open but they find Petar’s body is not decayed. There's fresh blood in his mouth. His hair and nails had grown longer. There's new skin where his old skin has peeled away. So they drove a stake through Petar’s heart. Blood poured from his ears and the mouth. They then burned his body to ash.
A little over a century later, in 1897, a novelist in London will publish a book about a tall, elegant, charming nobleman in a castle, who sleeps in a coffin, and seduces his victims. It would be the story that would go onto shape one of the most iconic pieces of folklore of all time.
Today’s perplexing episode is all about the vampire!

Today, we will be revisiting the story of one of the most influential and iconic rappers of all time. He helped redefine the sound of West Coast hip hop, but he was also a young man who had just as many enemies as he did friends. But his life was tragically cut short at the young age of 25 on September 7th, 1996.
His case has been seemingly cold for over 25 years, and has resulted in endless conspiracies. In July of 2023, a new search warrant was executed in connection to his murder, and now it seems the answers may have been there all along. The Duane Davis trial commenced in August and September of 2026 and a recent docuseries, Sean Combs: The Reckoning put Diddy in the line of fire.
This is the perplexing story and updated episode about the murder of Tupac Shakur.

Kaydra is bringing you a re-mastered Patreon leak today. This has also been highly requested so it seemed like a good one to release onto the main feed.
Jason Corbett, an Irish man living in North Carolina, was brutally murdered in his home on August 2, 2015 by his second wife, Molly Martens Corbett, and her father, Thomas Martens, a retired FBI agent. Both Molly and Thomas claimed they acted in self-defense, but were later found guilty of second-degree murder and sentenced to 20–25 years in prison after evidence and testimony cast doubt on their story.

In the 16th to 18th centuries, hundreds of people across Central Europe engineered their own executions in the hope of dying “in a state of grace.” Suicide was a mortal sin, but murder was a capital crime, and execution after confession was seen as a path to salvation. In this episode we discuss several real cases of so-called “suicide by proxy,” including Agnes Catherina Schickin in 1704, Eva Lizlfellnerin in 1762, and Ursula Waserin in 1723. We’ll look at how religion, law, and despair combined to create a tragic pattern of crimes that were all eerily similar, and ask why authorities took so long to shut down the deadly loophole.
If you or someone you know is struggling, please know you’re not alone. In the US, dial or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. In Canada, call 988.

Kaydra needed a break so for this week, enjoy this remastered rewind of episode 137. This is the story of the unsolved death of Patrick Mullins.
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.

You left your keys on the counter, just like you always do. But now — they're gone. Not lost. Not misplaced. Gone. You turn the house upside down, retracing your every step, you even check the couch cushions several times. Nothing. Days later, you see your keys. Sitting on the counter. Exactly where you left them days ago. Like they never left at all.
You tell yourself it's just forgetfulness. You laugh it off as a trick of the mind. But what if it wasn't? Today we're revisiting time slips, stories of portals opening, objects disappearing and reappearing in other locations, and allegations that it was all facilitated by the government.
Are these moments where time stopped? or bent? Did the government create another version of now? Did this even happen?
Today’s perplexing episode is all about The Montauk Project, Camp Hero, and the Philadelphia Experiment.

Then in bold letters, running down the length of the doors you read the words: “Caravan to Catch a Killer.” You wonder what it’s for.
Seated at the wheel is an older woman with shaggy bangs and silver blonde hair. She’s a mother and her name is Dr. Maggie Zingman. Maggie has logged hundreds of thousands of miles, determined to get eyes on her daughter’s case. Her daughter was a bright and funny eighteen-year-old college student when she was brutally murdered in her Tulsa apartment in the fall of 2004. Her killer remains at large.
Today’s perplexing episode is all about the murder of Brittany Phillips and her mother’s journey for answers and change.

Homicide tip line: 918-798-8477
Email homicide: cityoftulsa.org
Crime stoppers: 918-596-COPS (if you want to be anonymous)
Maggie is asking everyone to do 2 things:to take 5 minutes to write their local news stations, “have you heard about Maggie Zingman? The woman who’s driving all over the U.S. in her van, ‘Caravan to Catch a Killer?’ She’s bringing awareness to her daughter’s unsolved cold case while helping other families.”
Tell 5 friends to do the same thing. Then those 5 friends tell 5 friends and so on. This is the spider effect. Maggie believes this is what we need to get Brittany and her loved ones some semblance of closure.

Imagine late one night you’re relaxing at home, settling down for bed when suddenly your phone lights up. It’s an unexpected call from a family member. You answer but all you hear is static. But then… for just a second — you hear something else. A voice. “Hello? Is that you?” It sounded like them. It sounded like they said your name. But now there’s no answer. Just more static. You hang up confused… must have been an accidental call.
But then, just a few moments later, you get a different phone call. News that alters your life forever. That family member who just called you? They passed away hours ago. But you heard their voice… how could this be possible? Today we're diving into one of the strangest corners of the paranormal. To try and answer the question: are ghosts capable of speaking through our technology... and if so, what do they want?
Today’s perplexing episode is all about paranormal phone calls and the mysterious case of Charles Peck.

Today we're going back to a nineteen-day reign of terror that paralyzed one of America's fastest-growing cities. We’re going back to an event that left behind questions that still haunt investigators and the community today. Today’s perplexing episode is all about the Austin serial bombings.

Shownotes
Somewhere off the coast, a naval sonar operator watches a mysterious object silently descend into the ocean at a speed that shouldn't be possible for anything built by human hands. The object also doesn’t make a splash. Just... suddenly drops and vanishes into the black deep water.
There have been thousands of reports like this around the world for many many years. Objects coming in and out of the water, vanishing beneath the waves and reappearing miles away, and unbothered by pressures that would crush a submarine like a soda can.
Stories have been told through the handwritten logs of old sailors; massive glowing lights shimmering beneath the ocean’s surface. Military pilots around the world have reported objects plunging into the sea and never resurfacing. And today, you can watch footage capturing these objects over the years. The Pentagon has no explanation — and has even gone on record saying “no comment.”
So what are these objects? What are they doing? What do they want? And what does it all mean? Is it possible what we’ve thought about alien travel has been wrong all along?
Today’s perplexing episode is all about the dark mystery of underwater UFOs.

On October 9, 2020, 27 year old Taylor Parker calls police. She tells dispatch she needs an ambulance. She needs to get to the hospital right away because she just had a baby. A state trooper finds a distraught Taylor in the driver’s side of the vehicle on the side of the road. The placenta was in Taylor’s pants, the umbilical cord was still attached, and her baby was not responsive.
At first to police, this seemed like a dire emergency for Taylor and her newborn baby. But then, things started feeling off. The state trooper noticed dried blood covering Taylor’s body head to toe, yet there was no blood in the car. Then, when she was taken to the Idabel hospital, Taylor refused a vaginal ultrasound. With the testing medical personnel were able to do, doctors quickly determined Taylor had not given birth. Their hearts sank.
Whose baby was this? What happened? And where was the mother? This is the story of Taylor Parker, Reagan Hancock, and Braxlynn Sage.

Shownotes
In the shadows of mystical forests, beneath the surface of murky lakes, and even in our own backyards, there continue to be reports of unidentifiable creatures from all around the world. Stories of cryptids have been passed down for centuries. They often have similar physical descriptions, despite being from other sides of the globe. Are these simply myths passed down through generations, or are they fragments of truth waiting to be uncovered?
While there are hundreds of cryptids out there, today we are talking about just two. First, I will take you deep into the forests of central Vermont, chasing one of New England's most enduring — and genuinely unsettling — pieces of folklore.
Then we are heading to the flat and wide open spaces of the central Kansas prairie. Specifically, a body of water outside Inman, Kansas, known officially, as the Big Sinkhole.
Today’s perplexing episode is all about the Northfield Pigman and Sinkhole Sam!

Shownotes
On April 26, 2010, 16 year old Ali Lowitzer from Spring, TX disappeared just after stepping off of her school bus. She told her mother Jo Ann she was walking to her job at the local Burger Barn, excited to pick up her pay check. This would later be confirmed by multiple eye witnesses. Ali stepped off the bus, sent a text message to her friend, then her phone shut off. No trace of Ali has ever been found. Over 16 years later, her loved ones are still searching for answers.
I had the amazing opportunity to connect with Ali’s mother Jo Ann at Crime Con this year and immediately felt connected to her. If Ali were still here, she and I would’ve graduated at the same time. We would be the same age. Jo Ann is sweet, she’s gentle, she’s a hard worker. And she’s still fighting every day for her missing daughter.
Through this talk with Jo Ann, I also learned she and her family were the ones doing cell phone pings, putting up the missing persons fliers, getting surveillance footage, logging into Ali’s email, and organizing searches.
Police didn’t do much of anything for Ali. They didn’t even issue an Amber alert. They labeled her a runaway. Today, Jo Ann works with her hands to feel closer to her artistic daughter. She connects with other moms of missing children. She advocates for her daughter on social media and at advocacy events. She joined Texas EquuSearch and got formal training, searching for other missing persons.
And she feels she’s found her voice throughout this process. Jo Ann even said sometimes she wonders if her daughter went missing so that she could help find someone else that’s missing. It was an absolute honor to hear Ali’s story through the words of her mother’s heart. And I simply adore her. I know you will too.
Today’s perplexing episode is all about the case of missing 16 year old Ali Lowitzer.

By day, this state seems like a beautiful and vibrant place to live. There's mountain views, and spots that feel like an artist’s safe haven. It’s a place that feels alive with music, crafts, and color. But beneath the vibrant surface lies a much older story. This state was officially founded in the late 18th century but it’s been shaped for centuries by Appalachian folklore. This state has long been a crossroads of cultures, beliefs, and… something harder to explain.
Locals will tell you these mountains have memories. That the fog rolling through the valleys isn’t always weather. Stories pass from porch to porch, from bartender to late-night patron—stories of a haunted bridge that was the backdrop for a dark tragedy, ships and crew that seemingly vanished into thin air with no explanation, and unfathomably dark happenings in a boarding school that was supposed to help children. Some call these legends. Others call them warnings.
So today, we’re traveling to the east coast of the United States, and visiting a state where history and the unexplained seeming to blur together. Today’s perplexing episode is all about haunting history and folklore out of North Carolina.

53 year old Melissa Casias from Taos, New Mexico, disappeared under very mysterious circumstances on June 26, 2025. The case seemed to generate no promising leads and quickly go cold. Her remains were recently found in a remote heavily wooded area on May 28, 2026. Melissa’s case has gotten a lot of attention… but arguably for all the wrong reasons. There has been an unbelievable amount of speculation, misinformation, and just straight up conspiracies and lies about Melissa. These have even come from major news sources.
It seems before we can know what happened to Melissa on June 26, 2025, people will have to start getting loud with the facts. So today, Kaydra is bringing on Gina and Amber from Weird True Crime. They have been working with Melissa’s family and combing through the police reports from day one. Verifiable information only. Kaydra talks through all of the rumors point by point including the missing scientists conspiracy to get clarification for her listeners. You will also hear a lot of information I guarantee you aren’t hearing anywhere else.
This is the perplexing story of Melissa Casias.

Shownotes
We lived in these dwellings for millions of years… sleeping, creating life, preparing food, and performing rituals. Our ancestors have worshipped their limestone and crystal, believing them to possess mystical properties. Today, some still believe these burrows harness energy and amplify paranormal activity. Others believe creatures lurk in the shadows, crawling along the walls and stealing the souls of any who dare to enter. Some curious explorers have gotten lost and met their demise, dying alone in the dark.
From history, to folklore, to creatures, to disappearances, and deaths, there are endless stories from these dark caverns.
Today’s episode is all about caves!
