Castles & Cryptids Alanna and Kelsey

Ahoy cryptic cuties! This week we come bearing tales of two voyages that suddenly went very wrong. Kelsey covers the disappearance of Annette Mizener, a passenger aboard a carnival cruise in 2004 who mysteriously went overboard.

Alanna wraps things up with the Hawks, a lovely retired couple who just wanted to sell their yacht so they could spend more time with their grandchildren, a decision that would end up costing them everything.

Stay safe if you find yourself out on the open ocean (maybe bring a flare gun and a lifejacket?) and until next time keep it cryptic.

Abandoned, lonely, often forlorn, how can places seem so sad and neglected? What makes a ghost town a ghost town?
We explore some lost settlements and what happened to them, really. Sometimes it's a loss of income and prosperity, othertimes, something more destructive and very final. Whether the town died out, pardon the pun, or came to a catastrophic end, it's an tale worth telling and we say, put on your safety goggles and your hiking boots!

Hey cryptic cuties, you know we had to take advantage of the month of May to cover some airplane crimes.

Kelsey tells the story of Japan Air Lines Flight 123, when a typical trip turns into a fight to keep an uncontrollable plane in the air and save the lives of hundreds aboard. Alanna closes out the ep with Canadian Airlines Flight 108, and how investigations into its demise lead to a cowardly husband and his crazy plot to escape his life.

It's a wild ride this week, if your oxygen mask deploys make sure you put it on yourself first before helping others, and until next time, keep it cryptic!

This week, we had fun finding some other amazing animals, they may not all be psychic wonder horses, but damn are they wonderful!!

Kelsey keeps us up with the Koko shenanigans, you know like the Kardashians? Ok it's a stretch, but Koko reaches new heights in communication and very human traits, like ...being horny?? She's an enigma, like all of us!

To cap it off, Alanna tells some war stories of animal heros, like Unsinkable Sam, and two very, very good doggos.

Hey cryptic cuties, we thought it was about time we took it back to our roots, our Canadian roots that is. This time we bring to you 2 very interesting unsolved cases that couldn't be more different from each other. Kicking things off, Kelsey dives into a robbery that takes a surprising turn when the thieves return some of the items to prove they were the real robbers. Alanna shares the tragic tale of the babes in the woods, 2 unidentified children's remains, and the decades long search for answers. We hope you enjoy, recommend us to a friend (especially if their Canadian lol). Until next time, keep it cryptic!!

Ok, we could have called this episode a pseudoscience and a psychic horse, but I liked the alliteration so there we are. We love any fringe science, powerwe don't quite understand and stories about wild history with a dash of animal hijinks. This one has it all!
So grab your furry friends and a nice apple for two wild rides!
Kelsey covered the history of lie detector tests and their rise and fall in the courts and what we think of them today. We pick apart the science from the not- so science parts of the polygraph machine.
And Alanna comes in clutch with a 1920's story of a mind-reading mare from Richmond, Virginia. Could her spot-on predictions be truly a sixth sense? We sure wish we had her inside sport's knowledge, maybe she talked to the racehorses and got the edge...

Hope you enjoy, and, hey(or should I say neigh?), let us know, we aren't psychic! So drop us a rating and refer a friend! Keep it Cryptic!
