Happy lottery stories seem few and far between, so let’s focus on the larger than life case of 19-year-old Briton, Michael Carroll. He quickly became one of the most infamous winners - starting his fame by collecting his winnings wearing a police tracking anklet.

Michael then went about spending his newly found fortune responsibly, investing in his future and keeping a low profile… except he did none of those things.

In November 2022, an unknown killer was on the loose in Idaho and Reddit was determined to track them down.

On the morning of Sunday the 13th, police received a frantic 911 call from a student home near the University of Idaho. A girl in the house seemed to be ‘unconscious’ and not responding.

But when officers arrived, they discovered that the student in question wasn’t unconscious. She was dead. Her boyfriend was found in the room with her—also dead. And in another bedroom on the third floor, two more students—dead as well.

I think we can all agree that an itch you just can’t scratch is one of the worst feelings around.

Which makes me wonder… How would you scratch an itch if you were stuck in an airtight suit, with hours before you could take it off? Could you? And if not, how do people like astronauts stay sane?

Santa Claus. Kris Kringle. Jolly old St. Nick. The man goes by many names, but his mission has always remained the same. To spread joy and prosperity to children. That and to judge them. Which is fine for some reason.

In Russia he goes by Father Frost. In Germany he bears an uncanny resemblance to Belsnickle, another bearded gift giving character. He’s just like Santa, only slightly more terrifying.

But who is he really? Where did he come from? Is he the only one of his kind? … or are there others?

On March 18th, 1964, just after 1 PM, a 38-year-old man named Arthur Robinson drove his car down a dirt path off of Hazleton Municipal Airport Road in the Milnesville area—just northwest of the airport.

The path led to an abandoned strip mine turned dumping ground.

Robinson was there to dump ashes, but when he parked, stepped out, and walked to the edge of the embankment…
He saw something 26 feet down amidst the garbage.

A small lifeless body.

For nearly six decades, police chased leads, interviewed thousands, and traveled tens of thou...

A mysterious phenomenon baffled medical professionals when a group of individuals seemed to suddenly die in their sleep, leaving no clear explanation. To understand what could be happening, investigators explored folklore from cultures across the globe.

So what is this nightmare? And, can it suddenly kill you while you’re asleep?

On May 13th, 1985, the United States government bombed its own citizens on live TV, destroying 61 homes and killing American men women, and children in the process.

That morning, five hundred police officers had surrounded a single rowhouse in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Its occupants were given fifteen minutes to come outside and surrender.

But when the 15 minutes had passed and no one had came out, the neighborhood became a battlefield. Explosives ripped through walls, water cannons tore in through the freshly made holes, and police officers with shotguns, sniper rifles, M16s, and even sub-machine guns unleashed...
