Perplexed Podcasts

Strap in for an investigative journey as we delve into the enigmatic world of cults and charismatic leaders. For this episode, we've received invaluable insights from our listener, Colleen, which has allowed us to upturn some significant new information on the Kendrick Johnson case. But hold on, we're not stopping at that! A future episode is already in the works, where we'll shed more light on all the fresh evidence we have on hand.

Taking a detour from the usual religious connotations associated with cults, our studies have led us to the life of Jim Jones - an infamous cult leader with an obsession for religion and death. From a challenging upbringing to becoming a figure of dread, we explore the transformation of Jones and how his life culminated in the tragic Jonestown massacre. We also dive into Jones' early days of activism, reflecting on his anti-racism beliefs and how it shaped him into a radical figure.

As we cross the threshold into the ominous world of Jones' People's Temple, we expose the disturbing reality of manipulation and abuse faced by his followers. The rise to power of the People's Temple is overshadowed by Jones' lust for money and power, intertwined with paranoia and drug use. From shocking accounts of sexual misconduct to a life of servitude, we reveal the chilling truth behind the infamous Jim Jones and the harrowing aftermath that followed. Join us as we navigate through these compelling and shocking narratives, as we endeavor to separate fact from fiction.

Are you ready for a chilling voyage into the unknown? This episode pulls back the inky curtains of mystery surrounding the infamous Bennington Triangle. A place that has become synonymous with unexplained disappearances and phenomena, we journey into the heart of southwestern Vermont to uncover the truth behind these puzzling events. Listen as we recount a series of eerie tales dating back to 1945, with an unsolved murder and a mythical monster that lurks in the shadows.

Our journey begins with the story of the once-thriving town of Glastonbury. We peel back the layers of history to reveal the town's transition from a booming logging community to a ghost town due to deforestation. Then, we step into the realm of legends with the unsolved murder of John Harbour in 1897 and the sightings of the elusive Bennington Monster. As we walk through the chilling tales of Middie Rivers, Paula Welden, James Tedford, Paul Jepsen, and Frida Langer - individuals who mysteriously disappeared without a trace - we promise you a riveting exploration of theories that range from the presence of a ruthless serial killer to the existence of unmarked mineshafts.

We wrap up our expedition into this enigmatic triangle by emphasizing the importance of community engagement and listener support. We discuss how your valuable input, through ratings and reviews, aid us in bringing these engaging conversations to you. We also encourage you to share your stories with us and join us on social media. So buckle up and brace yourself for a riveting journey into the perplexing narratives of the Bennington Triangle, where the line between reality and the supernatural blurs, and not everything is as it seems.

Have you ever questioned the system that is supposed to protect us? Do you feel the shudder of injustice that seems to lurk beneath the surface of some high-profile cases? Today, we take you on a harrowing journey into the story of Kendrick Johnson, a young basketball player whose death sparked allegations of racial bias and an ongoing fight for truth. This is a tale that intersects with the Black Lives Matter movement, illuminating shocking statistics about racism and hate crimes. Through this exploration, we express our unwavering commitment to keep digging into the uncomfortable and shedding light on the unseen.

The path of this narrative takes us into the heart of Val Dosta in the southern United States. A place which has a chilling history of racial segregation, and where KJ's story began. We paint a picture of the Jim Crow laws that enforced racial segregation, the horrifying 1918 lynching of Mary Turner, and the unsettling presence of the KKK. As we unravel the perplexing case of KJ's death, we question the mysterious circumstances surrounding it and the seeming lack of thorough investigation. From the chilling discovery of KJ's body in a school gym to the eerie mystery of his shoes and CCTV footage, we reveal a community's struggle for answers.

Finally, we bring into focus the aftermath of Kendrick's untimely demise. Providing a glimpse into the questionable actions of the Bell family, who seemed to be mysteriously connected to the case. The fight for justice is palpable as we express our concerns on the handling of this case, urging listeners to lend their voice in support of the Justice for Kendrick Johnson organization. A stark reminder that the fight against racism is far from over, and every voice counts. Tune in, engage, and remember: We are stronger in unison.

In today's BLAM Kate and I revisit the JonBenét Ramsey case with new details not discussed previously. We begin by discerning the cryptic ransom note found at the scene, scrutinizing its peculiarities and the hints suggesting a familiarity with the Ramsey household. The unsolved autopsy details and the baffling bowl of pineapple left in the kitchen add an extra layer of mystery to this already perplexing case.

Hold on tight as we delve into the enigmatic interviews and reactions from the Ramsey family. From Patsy's tense interview to Burke's revealing discussion, we explore every hidden corner and scrutinize every nerve-racking detail. The family's controversial decision to have JonBenét participate in pageants didn't escape our attention either. As we analyze the family dynamics, we bring to the surface the secrets and suspicions that were hidden beneath.

The episode reaches its climax as we unmask potential suspects and confront the haunting unanswered questions that continue to shadow this case. We crack open the mystery surrounding Patsy Ramsey's handwriting, 'Santa Bill' McReynolds's strange association with the case, and the perplexing character we know only as Daxis, who had an eerie understanding of the case. Join us for this gripping tour through one of America's most notorious unsolved murders. After all, who doesn't love a good murder mystery?

Ever laugh so hard at the random absurdities of life that you forget the world around you? Well, strap in as we take you on a whirlwind journey from the giggly highs of pantsing pranks and the hilariously misunderstood resting bitch face, to the anticipation of our Patriots day celebration.

But it's not all fun and games. Come join us as we delve into the chilling real-life story of Courtney Kuykendall , a victim of a horrifying phone stalker who invaded the peace of her quiet Washington suburb. This isn’t your typical ‘stranger danger’ tale. It's a story that unearths the terrifying reality of identity invasion and manipulation. This fiend knew everything, from what Courtney and her family wore to the code of their security system. The stalking escalated so much that two neighbouring families began receiving the same eerie calls. With the baffling mystery still unsolved and theories about phone spoofing, roving bugs, and Myspace ringtones floating around, we ask: how safe are we, really, from the eyes and ears of the unseen? Prepare for an episode that will tickle your funny bone one minute, and send chills down your spine the next.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN.......Step back in time with us to 1692, a period of mass hysteria and false accusations that led to the infamous Salem Witch Trials. We're guiding you through a chilling narrative of a community gripped by fear, a community that condemned 30 people to death on charges of witchcraft. This dark chapter in history is sure to leave you with goosebumps.

We'll introduce you to the three women whose tales sparked this frenzy - Sarah Good, Sarah Osborne, and Titchibar. Learn about their lives, their pleas of innocence, and the tragic end they met. Hear about others like them - Rebecca Nurse, George Burroughs, and Giles Corey - who were falsely accused and faced the gallows. Do you think you know the details of this grim chapter in history? Think again, as we bring to light the horrifying stories of eight individuals executed on September 22nd, 1692, and the chilling tale of Giles Corey who died under torture.

Then, stepping into the innocence lost, meet Dorothy Good, a four-year-old child, the youngest of those involved in the trials, kept behind bars for nine months without formal charges. All this culminated in the reversal of many of the witchcraft convictions by the Massachusetts colonial government in 1711, admitting the grave injustices of the Salem Witch Trials. So, wrap up in your favorite blanket, grab a hot drink, and brace yourself for an eerie journey into the past.

Ever wondered if the hair-raising tales of Charlie No Face or the Bunny Man have an ounce of truth in them? Well, buckle up for an eerie exploration into some of the most chilling urban legends, where we pull back the curtain on the real stories behind these spine-tingling tales. But first, we set the mood with a candid chat about our personal triumphs and trials, including a hilarious take on our shared obsession with blankets, and how a hearty helping of carbs has become my secret weapon against chemo-induced sickness.

We'll also recount a daring ascent up the slopes of Ben Nevis and its unexpected challenges, with a little detour into my judo days for good measure. Then, prepare to venture into the shadowy world of urban legends, as we unravel the mystery behind Charlie No Face, the Graveyard Ghoul, and the infamous Bunny Man. We'll examine the origins of these tales and their profound impact on local communities.

Finally, we cap off our thrilling escapade with a closer look at a particularly unsettling fast-food fable: the Kentucky Fried Rat. We'll debate its credibility, and marvel at the formidable power of storytelling. As always, we invite you to share your own urban legends and join our ever-growing community. Don't forget to rate and review us, follow us on social media, and shoot us an email with your captivating stories!
