Charles Albright: The Eyeball Killer 1:11:08

14 днів тому1:11:08

1:11:08

In the early ’90s, the bodies of women began turning up around Dallas—murdered, and missing one chilling detail—and soon, the name “The Eyeball Killer” would haunt the headlines. When the bodies of several women began turning up in the early ’90s, there was one eerie detail connecting them all—something missing that pointed to a far more sinister obsession. As the police followed the clues, suspicion fell on a seemingly upstanding man with a passion for art, anatomy, and taxidermy. But was Charles Albright the monster behind the murders, or was something even stranger going on beneath the surface? We peel back the layers of a case that’s as unsettling as it is unforgettable.

In August 1994, Oakville, Washington, was the target of a strange, unexplained event: a shower of translucent blobs, not rain, fell from the sky. The gooey substance coated everything in sight, from windshields to grass, leaving residents and animals sick with inexplicable symptoms. Was it a freak weather anomaly or something more disturbing? Theories have swirled for years, from bombed jellyfish to secret military experiments. But despite numerous investigations, the true origin of the blobs remains a mystery. Now, with reports of similar occurrences just a few miles away in 2025, the question lingers: What really fell from the sky that summer? In this episode, we dig into the chilling details of the Oakville blob incident and the questions that still haunt the small town, and could possibly reveal a much darker truth.

The Genius Killer: Edward Rulloff's Criminal Mind, Part Two 1:05:00

8 weeks тому1:05:00

1:05:00

Part two dives into the chilling story of Edward Rulloff, a 19th-century scholar-turned-serial criminal whose brilliance masked a deeply antisocial and violent nature. Despite multiple arrests and a murder conviction, Rulloff repeatedly evaded justice, charming intellectuals and manipulating legal systems with ease, much like Ted Bundy. His eventual execution and the postmortem study of his unusually large brain sparked debates that reshaped early neuroscience, especially around psychopathy and moral responsibility. Join us as we discuss how Rulloff’s legacy endures as both a cautionary tale and a pivotal case in the history of criminal psychology. Edited by Maxwell Holechek…
