    The Crescent Hotel

    Constructed in 1886, the Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas is still kicking. In fact, my friend got married there not too long ago. It has a long and storied history. And tell that story we shall.  We won't shy away from the ghosts. We will tell it all: from the healing waters that tricked people into going into the ankle twisting hills of Eureka Springs in the first place, to the time when it was a school, to the time when it was a FAKE CANCER HOSPITAL WITH A SPECIAL SCREAMING ROOM, to the time when my friend got married. Good stuff. Long and storied history.  But the really interesting one i's about the scam hospital.

    Jeffrey Epstein - Episode 4

    Took a while, but there is enough out on Epstein now to finally finish this off. Well, for the time being.  We really don't want to become the Epstein show but there was no way we could not follow up on the summer of coverup, the autumn of lies, and the winter of...the Department of Justice breaking the law. This is far from over, and now I am starting to wonder if we should dust off the Franklin Coverup.  Nah. That would be crazy. For now, enjoy!  I guess. If that is the right word.

    Jeffrey Epstein - Episode 3

    We started this story with a guy who had no qualifications and all the access in the world. By the end, he was dead in a jail cell that somehow had no working cameras, no guards paying attention, and no real answers. In this final part of the Epstein series, we cover the "suicide" that kicked off a thousand conspiracy theories, the people who still believe the lies, and the survivors who never stopped fighting. We also talk about the fake Epstein files, the real ones (probably), and how nothing at all is resolved. It doesn't wrap up neatly. It doesn't feel fair. And it still isn't over.

    Jeffrey Epstein - Episode 2

    We continue with the awful story of that peice of crap Epstein. We know he had a ridiculous life full of private jets, mansions, and famous friends who acted like hanging out with a convicted predator was just another Tuesday.  But this is when it all started to look like it MAYBE might catch up to him. In this episode, we cover the cops who actually tried to do their jobs (props where they're due), the prosecutors who definitely didn't, and the first time Epstein almost got in trouble—but then we found out the fix was in. Also: Jizzbag Maxwell was right there, luring in girls like a rich sociopath camp counselor while the system (except for the Palm beach cops) tied itself in knots trying not to look too hard. Justice? Not even close. But the cracks were starting to show.  And hey, we know the ending so...

    Jeffrey Epstein - Episode 1

    You ever notice how rich people never seem to get in trouble for anything? Like no matter what they do, they end up with more money, more houses, and zero consequences?  We have been here before. Remember the Franklin Scandal?  How about Johnny Gosch?  Or those Qidiots imagining things when they could have just looked at things that were actually happening? Well, this time, one of them got kind of in trouble. But not really. Because even when they do get caught, the system finds a way to fold the whole thing up and tuck it under the rug like it never happened.  Oh, and kill him, but that is almost incidental at this point. In this episode, we start the story of Jeffrey Epstein—con artist, predator, "finance guy" (with no actual qualifications), and all-around piece of shit. And if you think this is just one bad guy doing bad stuff, you have not been paying attention.

    Henry Louis Wallace

    You know, here on Strangeful Things we have talked about a lot of malicious scumbags, and this week is no different, but it sort of is different in that we are dealing with a killer who does something I have never personally experienced and it is not an aspect of his physical violence. It is more along the lines of cosmic cruelty.   You will see what I mean. Also the Charlotte, NC police department screwed up this whole thing so badly that they had to "change" the way they ran their homicide department.  Since Charlotte is my current home town I need to stress the fact that I do not think that the nonsense they pulled 35 years ago, that I didn't know had happened until a week ago, has NOT been forgiven. By me, anyway. Nor by the Supportive Community - Mothers of Murdered Offspring, the one actual good thing that came out of this tragedy. Support them. Give them some money.

    Luigi Lucheni

    This week, we're taking a scalpel (or, more accurately, a janky pawn-shop file) to the life of Luigi Lucheni—the anarchist who assassinated Empress Elisabeth of Austria in 1898. We dig into Lucheni's trash fire of a childhood, the rise of anarchism in Europe, and the absolute disaster that was monarchy back then (and honestly, now too). We'll follow Cece's last days, break down what "propaganda of the deed" actually meant, and ask what happens when someone murders a symbol, not a person. Also: was Lucheni martyred or snuffed out? Did the system silence him, or did he just flame out? And how much does any of this still matter today? A lot, it turns out.

    The Atlas Vampire

    This episode, we are diving into Stockholm's darkest unsolved murder—The Atlas Vampire case of 1932. We trace Lilly Lindeström's journey from Malmö to the Atlas district, unpack the chilling (cause it is cold!) Walpurgis Night timeline, and dissect the staged crime scene and blood-drinking rumors through the lens of a scholarly paper I found with facts and whatnot.   Not saying I solved it, but....I should not imply something otherwise because I did not solve it. At all. Sponsored by Magic Mind—boost your focus at http://magicmind.com/strangefulapr
