In this episode of Unexplained America, your host Lisa discusses the State of Wisconsin Vs. Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier for the attempt in the first degree with use of deadly weapon charge of crime against Payton Isabella Leutner--this case would make National and International news when the suspects story of how a fictional character named Slenderman was to blame for their attempted murder of their friend.
On Saturday May 31st of 2014, three 12 year old girls were celebrating the birthday of one with a slumber party sleepover the night before. Around 8 am the three headed out to a park about .5 mile from the birthday girls home. Two of the girls would brutally attached 1 of the girls and leave her in the woods in the park with 19 stab wounds. Blessedly she was alive enough to pull herself out of the woods to cry for a bicyclist to help her.
Listen to the miraculous story of Payton Leutner's survival and then Morgan and Anissa's court proceedings all the way to the current day.

In this episode of Unexplained America, your host Lisa will be discussing "The Omen"--OG style with OG guest host Amber (Ambie).
Rober Donner directed this incredible Horror/Mystery right off the heels of the very successful "Exorcist" which came out in 1973. "The Omen" starring the talented and according to Amber 'yummy' Gregory Peck, Lee Remick, Harvey Stephans, and David Warner--came out to mixed reviews but ended up being the highest grossing box office hit in 1976 with $60 Million to it's cost of only $3.99 M.
We discuss everything from chimpanzees to turbin wearing and the book of Revelations.
Note--nothing even remotelu serious in this episode! Enjoy!!

In this episode of Unexplained America, your host Lisa will finish discussing the group Heaven's Gate, picking up where I left off in Part 1 in the year 1986,
Listener Discretion-Mental Illness/Unaliving ---
On Wednesday, March 26, 1997, the San Diego County Sheriff's office received a 911 telling them that there was a mass unaliving at the location of 18241 Colina Norte in Rancho Sante Fe. The deputies really thought that this must be a crank phone call. When the deputies go to the house what they find there is anything but funny. They find 39 bodies at this location--they will received 1500 calls from around the country from concerned family and friends of these individuals. Hearts will be broken and the leader (Herff) will be on the cover of Time Magazine--but not for any good reason.
We will also discuss the present day and my email exchange.--Make sure to listen to the end because I had two add on thoughts that I forgot.
Listen to the whole episode for a deep look at the group.

In this episode of Unexplained America, your host Lisa will discuss the group Heaven's Gate, primarily, diving into the groups leaders Bonnie Lou Trousdale Nettles and Marshall "Herff" Applewhite Jr.
Listener Discretion-Mental Illness/Unaliving --more in Part 2.
On Wednesday, March 26, 1997, the San Diego County Sheriff's office received a 911 telling them that there was a mass unaliving at the location of 18241 Colina Norte in Rancho Sante Fe. The deputies really thought that this must be a crank phone call. When the deputies go to the house what they find there is anything but funny. They find 39 bodies at this location--they will received 1500 calls from around the country from concerned family and friends of these individuals. Hearts will be broken and the leader (Herff) will be on the cover of Time Magazine--but not for any good reason.
In this Part 1, I discuss the background and history of Bonnie and Herff. I will outline their beginnings and how they met and how the group began.
The time frame I cover in this episode is 1927-1986; in 1986 Bonnie's family will find out that she passed away on June 19, 1985. During Bonnie's life the group was NEVER called Heaven's Gate but went by H.I.M. Human Individual Metamorphosis or they went by Total Overcomers Anonymous.
Listen to the whole episode for a deep look at the group.

In this episode of Unexplained America, your host Lisa will discuss the Friday the 13th 'inspired' horrible, tragic case of Sharon Gregory.
Listener Discretion-brutal murder, mental health issues, and the awful unaliving self.
On October 24, 1988, 18 year old Sharon Gregory is home alone; she lives with her identical twin Cheryl and her parents Edward and Barbara. Around 12:30pm Cheryl comes home and finds Sharon in a pool of blood in their upstairs bathroom and she phones the police.
This tragic situation is alarmingly shocking for the small town of Greenfield, Massachusetts. Greenfield did not see any or much crime much less a murder.
Very quickly the Greenfield Police Department and the Massachusetts State Police close in a suspect; a 19 year old named Mark Branch. Mark was a friend of a close friend of the twins and Sharon had told Cheryl she was afraid of him.
Ultimately, this case would involve a month long man hunt, tragedy for two families, and a deep, uncomfortable fascination with horror movies and longing to be the villian in the movies.
Listen to hear full details.

In this episode of Unexplained America, your host Lisa will discuss the 'Crime of the Century' -the kidnapping and death of Charles Lindbergh Jr. --AKA Baby Charlie--Listener discretion of kidnapping/death of a child.
This is Part 2 and this will have one more part--in Part 2, we pick up on the night of March 1, 1932, we begin with the police showing up at the Lindbergh home, the ransom note and other evidence collected at the scene.
By March 6th, 1932, the kidnappers send a 2nd notice advising to keep the press coverage down about the ransom and increasing the ransom from $50,000.00 to $70,000.00.
Within days, a Dr. John Condon, offers his own money and his help in being a liason for the Lindbergh's and the kidnappers.
On March 12, 1932, Dr. Condon meets with the kidnapper--a man going by the name "John"--this meeting happens in a cemetery and the kidnapper wears a hat, coat, and handkerchief over his face. He speaks with a German accent according to Dr. Condon. In this meeting, they agree that Dr. Condon will hand over the ransom but wants some evidence of the baby first so kidnapper states he will send the baby's white sleeper.
The white sleeper is sent to Dr. Condon with another letter. A couple of weeks go by with several back and forth notes but finally a meeting is set up for April 2, 1932, to exchange the actual ransom. This meeting happens-the money is exchanged. The kidnapper gives Dr. Condon written instructions on where Baby Charlie is....however, this is all false. The baby who was supposed to be on a boat was not found.
On May 12, 1932, a truck driver pulls off the road to use the bathroom--he is 4 miles from the Lindbergh's home. He finds a badly decomposed body. The police are called, the Lindberghs are called and an autopsy is done. By Friday May 13, 1932, the baby is fully identified as Charles Augustus Lindbergh Jr.. Now the Lindberghs's are fully devastated and the hunt is on for a killer and not just a kidnapper.
This episode will track the route taken for authorities to finally make an arrest on September 19, 1934.

In this episode of Unexplained America, your host Lisa will discuss the 'Crime of the Century' -the kidnapping and death of Charles Lindbergh Jr. --AKA Baby Charlie--Listener discretion of kidnapping/death of a child.
This is Part 1 of a 2 Parter--in Part 1 we are going to begin with Charles Lindbergh Sr.-his youth and his father's youth as his father was an attorney/politician who was a U.S. Congressmen.
We will discuss Charles traveling back and forth between his farm home in Little Falls, Minnesota to Washington D.C. We will discuss his college time, his love for aviation which leads him to becoming a 'Barnstormer' and finally to his entry into the U.S. Army where he trained and graduated first in his class for the Army Air Service Reserve Pilot program.
At the time of the crime (1932) Charles was the most famous man in America and really the world because of his winning the award for flying solo Transatlantically from New York City to Paris, France in 1927. The award was posted by hotel magnate Raymond Orteig in 1919--many men had attempted this flight but many had failed so when Charles accomplished this flight in the 'Spriti of St. Louis' plane he instantly became famous and hounded by the press.
We will further discuss Charles meeting Anne Morrow in 1927, her background, their marriage in 1929 and having Baby Charlie in 1930 upto the horrific events on the night of March 1, 1932, when they realize their precious baby boy was not in his nursery.

In this episode of Unexplained America, your host Lisa along with the hosts of Cryptids Across the Atlas-Cody and Elaine Johnston discuss the Mothman of Point Pleasant.
We will discuss the events of November 15, 1966, in the small town of Point Pleasant, West Virginia, when two young couples (Roger and Linda Scarberry and Steve and Mary Mallette) were out late driving around and were petrified by the sight of a large black creature, with glowing red eyes was on the side of the road looking at their vehicle.
Linda would describe the creature as a "slender, muscular man" about 7 feet tall with wings. The young couples would be soo terrified they reached speeds they said of 100 miles per hour to escape the creature who flew like a helicopter and raced right with them. They immediately sought the help of the sheriff and then the press caught wind.
Many other stories emerged that happened before this evening and after this evening. We will discuss all of the events around November 15, 1966, the history of the area of Point Pleasant. A deadly bridge collapse almost 1 year later that was "linked" to the mothman by frightened community members and then all the possibilities of what the Mothman could have been.

In this episode of Unexplained America, your host Lisa discusses the gruesome and tragic cases of the Green River Killer AKA Gary Ridgway and an in-depth look at the 20 year investigation that finally caught him.
In August of 1982, Dave Reichert was called to a double homicide...this call was very chilling because he had just worked a case in the exact location 3 days before.
The location was a rural area at the time close to Kent, Washington, along the Green River. Kent was located very close to Seattle in King County. An area, that unfortunately, that had already had the horrors of a seriel killer in 1974--Ted Bundy.
On that day in 1982, Dave did not realize it but there would be 3 young women found brutally murdered and dumped by the Green River and so many more bodies would show up over the next few years.
In this episode, which is a Part 2 of a 2 Part series we will cover the time frame of 1987 to Current times.
I'll be touching on all things investigative to the point where Gary Ridgway is officially arrested November 30, 2001 and at that time for the three deaths of Opal Mills, Marcia Chapman and Cynthia Hinds--the count would eventually lead to a conviction in 2003 of 48 women and then rise to 49. The actual count of victims per Gary would be upwards of 80-100.

The episode opens with a conversation between President Lyndon B. Johnson and William Fulbright.
Gage goes over the events surrounding the tragedy that unfolded on August 9, 1965, when a fire broke out at the Titan II Missile facility in White County, Arkansas--near my hometown.
This tragedy involved the deaths of 53 workers at the facility-all who died from smoke inhalation while performing remodelling duties there at the silo.
Gage will go into the specifics about the silo, about the missiles, the accident and the aftermath.

In this episode of Unexplained America, your host Lisa discusses the 1974 Christmas horror movie "Black Christmas".
To end the year off, I wanted to review and watch a Christmas horror film--one that I had never seen. So first, I found a list of the top 25 BEST Christmas movies ever.
On the list was like "Gremlins" (IMO NOT a horror film) and also "The Nightmare Before Christmas" --equally not a horror film to me. However, there were 3 movies that stood out. They were 1970's/80's which for me, are the best horror movie era. So, I chose 3 that I could see. "Black Christmas", "Christmas Evil-1980", and "Silent Night, Bloody Night" -1972--
I had the listeners vote for which movie they wanted me to review and "Black Christmas" was pretty unanimous.
So, in this episode, I go through the details of the movie, I go through the entire film, so yes. spoil alert but it's a 1//2 century old so doesn't count. I give my feelings and notes on the film from when I watched it with Daryl and also his thoughts.
I end the episode with a my unexplained rating--so listen for that.
Thank you all so much for being on this journey with me and I have a lot planned for 2026!! Stay tuned!!

In this episode of Unexplained America, your host Lisa discusses "The Licked Hand" folklore story.
I was thinking about this awful story I heard at a slumber party one time when I was a kid--and it was about a girl who had friends over for a slumber party and there was a killer on the loose. So this girl and her friends went to bed and they were in their sleeping bags and the girl had a dog sleeping with her.
During the night, the girl would reach down to get a reassuring lick from her dog and all night long her dog would reassure her. When the girl woke up in the morning, her friends had all been killed and so had the dog. Written in blood on the wall or mirror --didnt't remember was something like "Killer lick also".
So, I'm thinking of this awful story and also how much fun slumber parties are and I'm thinking I'll cover this for the podcast but where did I hear this story?? And have others heard this story??
I proceed to ask all the ladies in my family, all of my lady friends, all my friends on Facebook and only 1 actual person has heard this story...I do proceed to google and find I'm NOT crazy, nor did I make this up...so here is the episode about variants, possible times when this story came up and more scary stories along the same line.

In February 2024, Laken was living her best life. She had roommates, she had completed her undergraduate studies at the University of Georgia and was now in the Augusta University Nursing Program in Athens, Georgia.
On February 22, 2024, Laken left her home around 8:55am to go running--this was something Laken did on the regular--Laken had ran cross country in high school and was a very accomplished runner and very dedicated to it.
Laken sent a text to her mother and tried to call her mother but there was no answer. By 9:11 am, Laken's cell phone made a 911 call but there was no one on the line. The operator tried repeatedly to hear someone and also to call the person back but there was no one there and no call back.
After a couple of hours and no Laken, Laken's family and friends were worried. They were calling each other, calling Laken and no answers. Two of Laken's roommates had shared location with Laken and they tried to follow her location but all they found was one of her air pods lying on the ground. Even more worried, they phone 911 and get help.
By 12:38 pm on the 22nd, police find Laken's body and her friends and family and the whole community will be shattered forever.
