A Study of Strange Convergent Content, LLC

Agatha Christie was a world-renowned author of crime fiction, and her vanishing in 1926 made headlines around the globe. For 11 days, she was nowhere to be found, and theories about her disappearance were rampant. Was it a publicity stunt? A case of revenge? Or something more sinister? It's alleged that Agatha Christie never spoke of those 11 days, but on this episode we look into some of the details of this strange story that are often overlooked, and hear from Christie herself.

Albert Ostman's shocking encounter and kidnapping by a family of Sasquatch in 1924 is still a hotly debated topic. Was he telling the truth? Did he really spend almost a week living with Bigfoot? Are Bigfoot real? Maybe a six year old kid, and budding cryptozoologist, will have an answer. 
Is this an appropriate story to share with my son? Probably not but the nightmares haven't been that bad....

Before the infamous Salem Witch Trials in Massachusetts, the majority of witch accusations and executions in North America took place in Connecticut. But, the Connecticut Witch Trials were once forgotten by history, and some details, records, and accounts are still largely unknown. Can the terrifyingly absurd witch trials teach us anything about humanity?
 
On this episode of the podcast, we're joined by brother and sister, Sean and Sinead Persaud of Shipwrecked Comedy, who grew up near Salem, absorbing a lot of the witchy history of New England.

Are zombies real, and where did the concept of a mindless, walking dead person originate? On this two part series we look into the history of the zombie, its ties to Haitian history, and explore the handful of stories of zombification that have been studied. Stories include the  account of Clairvious Narcisse and the strange zombie tale of Felicia Felix-Mentor.

In 1901, one of Canada’s most wealthy and powerful families found themselves players in a real murder mystery. Ada Redpath and her son, Jocelyn Clifford Redpath, were found shot to death in their home. The murder weapon (or weapons) were found near the bodies, and it was concluded to be a murder-suicde. Why then is this a mystery? Police never investigated, the bodies were hastily buried, and the Redpath family never spoke of that night. It’s a story filled with secrets and, maybe, lies.
