    (True Crime) The Witchcraft Murder of Charles Walton pt. 1

    The Witchcraft Murder of Charles Walton — Part One On Valentine’s Day, 1945, 74-year-old farmworker Charles Walton left his cottage in the English village of Lower Quinton for a day’s work beneath Meon Hill. He never returned home. His brutal murder would draw Scotland Yard into a mystery that became entangled with whispers of witchcraft, ancient superstitions, and the unsettling folklore of the English countryside. In part one of this two-part From the Void investigation, we enter the world Charles Walton knew, retrace the circumstances surrounding his death, and explore how an unsolved killing became one of Britain’s most chilling mysteries. Where does the evidence end—and the legend begin? 🎃 Our Halloween journey is just getting started.

    (UFO/UAP) UFOs Over Wisconsin pt 1

    In the spring of 1975, a quiet corner of Wisconsin became the setting for a UFO encounter that would eventually grow into something much stranger. In Part One of UFOs Over Wisconsin, we travel to Elmwood, Wisconsin, and meet George Wheeler—a local police officer who reportedly considered himself a skeptic when it came to UFOs. That changed one April night. While on patrol, Wheeler encountered an enormous orange object in the sky—something unlike any conventional aircraft he knew. What began as a single unexplained sighting would leave Wheeler watching the skies, camera and binoculars close at hand, wondering if whatever he had witnessed might return. But Wheeler wasn't the only one seeing strange things over Wisconsin. In this first installment, we explore the setting surrounding the Elmwood encounters, the reports beginning to emerge from the region, and the first chapter of a case that would eventually become one of Wisconsin's strangest UFO stories. And George Wheeler's most extraordinary encounter was still to come. In Part Two: More sightings. Strange effects on vehicles and electronics. A second encounter involving Wheeler. And the events that would transform a local UFO report into an enduring Wisconsin mystery. From the Void explores the strange, unexplained, and unknown—from UFOs and unsolved mysteries to paranormal encounters and the stories that exist somewhere between fact, folklore, and the void.

    (Mystery) The Great Lakes Triangle

    The Bermuda Triangle may be the world's most famous region of unexplained disappearances—but few people realize North America has its own. Stretching across the waters of Lake Michigan lies an area where ships have vanished without a trace, aircraft have disappeared from the sky, strange lights have been reported for generations, and even experienced captains have simply… disappeared. In this episode of From the Void, we journey into the chilling legend of the Michigan Triangle. We'll explore the mysterious disappearance of Northwest Airlines Flight 2501, the baffling story of Captain George Donner, ships that sailed into history and never returned, and the growing collection of unexplained sightings that continue to fuel speculation today. Is there something unusual about this stretch of water? Are these tragedies simply the result of Lake Michigan's notoriously unpredictable weather? Or could there be another explanation waiting beneath the surface? Join us as we separate documented history from folklore and investigate one of America's most overlooked mysteries.

    (UFO/Abduction) Human Encounters with Aliens & Dr. John Mack

    👁️ Episode Overview What happens when a Pulitzer Prize-winning psychiatrist from Harvard University risks everything to study one of the most controversial phenomena of our time? In this episode, we explore the life and work of John E. Mack—a respected academic who turned his attention to individuals claiming to have experienced alien abductions. Were these encounters psychological? Symbolic? Something else entirely? Or did Dr. Mack uncover something that challenged the boundaries of reality itself? 🛸 The Abduction Research Dr. Mack began interviewing individuals who reported: • Missing time • Encounters with non-human entities • Medical examinations aboard unidentified craft • Recurring, lifelong experiences Unlike many skeptics, Mack approached these cases without immediately dismissing them as delusion. His key findings: • Most experiencers showed no signs of psychosis • Many accounts were remarkably consistent across individuals • Experiences often carried deep emotional and transformative impact 🎧 Listen & Follow If you enjoyed this episode: • Follow From The Void wherever you listen • Share with someone who loves unexplained mysteries • Check out our merch 👕 https://from-the-void.printify.me/ 🔗 Sources & Further Reading • Abduction: Human Encounters with Aliens – John E.

    (UFO/Abduction) The Travis Walton Abduction pt. 2

    For five days, Travis Walton was missing. No body. No evidence. No explanation. Then—he came back. In Part 2, we pick up where the story turns from a disappearance into one of the most controversial and debated UFO encounters in modern history. What Travis described wasn’t just an abduction story—it was something stranger… more fragmented… and far less like the narratives that would come later. This episode explores: • Travis Walton’s firsthand account of what he experienced • The now-famous polygraph tests administered to the crew • The media firestorm that followed • Skeptics, investigators, and the enduring debate: hoax, trauma, or something unexplained? Nearly 50 years later, the Walton case remains one of the most studied—and divisive—UFO encounters ever recorded. 🧩 What We Cover 👁️ Travis’s Account • Regaining consciousness in a strange environment • Descriptions of the beings he encountered • The interior of the craft (and why it differs from typical “alien” reports) • The moment he returns—and what condition he’s in 🔥 Support the Show If you’re enjoying From The Void, you can support us by: ⭐ Leaving a review 👕 Checking out our merch www.fromthevoidpod.com Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/from-the-void-podcast1430/exclusive-content
