    The Max Headroom Broadcast Intrusion: Chicago's Unsolved TV Hijacking

    On the night of November 22, 1987, television viewers across Chicago witnessed something that shouldn't have been possible. During two separate broadcasts, an unknown person wearing a Max Headroom mask suddenly hijacked local television signals and appeared on screen, delivering a bizarre stream of nonsense, strange jokes, and unsettling behavior before disappearing just as quickly as they arrived. More than three decades later, nobody has ever been identified, arrested, or publicly connected to the intrusion. In this episode, we dive into one of the strangest unsolved mysteries in broadcasting history, explore how the hijacking happened, examine the leading theories about who was responsible, and ask the question that still lingers today.. who was behind the mask? 🎧 Macabre Mondays is a true crime and paranormal podcast hosted by Alejandra and her husband Tom.

    The Disappearance of Asha Degree

    In the early morning hours of February 14, 2000, nine-year-old Asha Degree disappeared from her home in Shelby, North Carolina. Witnesses reported seeing a young girl walking alone along Highway 18 in the middle of a storm. Days later, searchers found possible traces of her. Months later, her backpack surfaced buried miles away. And for years, the case seemed frozen in time. But more than two decades later, investigators announced new evidence, new searches, and a direction nobody expected. Today we’re breaking down the timeline, from the night Asha vanished to the most recent developments in one of North Carolina’s most talked-about missing person cases, Shelbys Sweetheart. 🎧 Macabre Mondays is a true crime and paranormal podcast hosted by Alejandra and her husband Tom.

    Listener Confessions Pt. 4

    Tonight, we’re handing the mic over to you. In todays Listeners Confessions episode, we dive into real stories sent in by our Macabre Mob, each one more chilling than the last. From a face to face encounter with a black eyed child (yes… those black-eyed kids 👀), to eerie backroads that feel like they don’t want you to leave, to unexplained hitchhikers who may not have ever been there at all. We also get into the kind of experiences that hit a little too close to home. Sleep paralysis. Shadow figures watching from the corners. And something even more unsettling, shadows that don’t just watch but maybe, they mimic?  Huge shoutout to everyone who submitted their stories. You guys make these episodes what they are!
