    The Mad Gasser of Mattoon

    It is the late summer of 1944. The town of Mattoon, in the US state of Illinois, has found itself gripped by a fear so strange, so disorienting, that even now — decades later—historians, psychologists, and true‑crime researchers still argue about what really happened. It began with a husband and wife waking up during the night, to a sweet, sickly smell. Suspecting a gas leak they decided to check the kitchen stove downstairs. Yet they found themselves unable to move their legs. Their lips were tingling and then their throats felt tightened. Then by dawn - they were recovered. The cause was unknown, but a story of gas attacks would soon spread.

    The Dybbux Box

    Some objects carry stories. Others carry warnings. And then there are the rare few that seem to carry something else entirely — something that lingers in the air long after the object is gone, like the echo of a voice you’re not entirely sure you heard. This episode is about one of those objects. A small wooden cabinet. Hand carved. Dark. Polished. Unremarkable at first glance. But for the people who have owned it… for those who have touched it… for those who have dared to open it… the cabinet has left a trail of nightmares and ongoing fear. Some say it holds a spirit.  Others say it holds a curse. And a few insist it holds something far older — something that should never have been disturbed. This is… The Dybbux Box.

    Murder In Room 18

    Some places are built on stories. Others are built on secrets. And then there are the places built on something darker — places where the walls seem to remember, where the air feels heavy, where tragedy settles like dust and refuses to be swept away. The United States mining town of Globe in Arizona, a place forged in copper, whiskey, and violence. A place where fortunes were made and lives were lost in equal measure. And at the centre of it all stood a building that locals have whispered about for more than a century. The Drift Inn was a saloon downstairs and a brothel upstairs. Typical of the time, except one room holds a secret darker than the others. — Room 18 — is where two men died under brutal violent circumstances. No explanation, convictions or answers were achieved. But its events have resulted in a haunting that continues to this day.

    Havana Syndrome

    In 2016, inside the US Embassy in the Cuban capital city of Havana, American diplomats and their families begin to hear a sound that cannot be explained. Some of those exposed develop symptoms that affect their senses and cognitive abilities. One by one, those exposed report what they’re experiencing to the Embassy’s medical staff — professionals trained to handle tropical illnesses, environmental hazards, even covert surveillance stress. But this was something else entirely. Their tests show injuries… but no cause. Their patients are suffering… but from what could not be identified. As the reports multiply, a pattern emerges. A pattern too consistent to ignore. Too targeted to dismiss. Too alarming to explain away. And slowly, an unimaginable truth begins to take shape. American citizens, living and working in Havana, are under attack.

    CERN and The Mandela Effect

    Between 2008 and 2012 the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, now referred to as CERN, commenced and completed the creation of the Large Hadron Collider. The world’s most powerful particle accelerator, its purpose was to advance our understanding of fundamental physics. The Collider was able to accelerate two counterrotating beams of heavy ions or protons at speeds close to the speed of light, with the goal of recreating conditions believed to have occurred in the first moments of when the universe came into existence. But what if the Collider did more than that? Whether we knew it or not? What if those who tried to warn us of the dangers were silenced, and maybe some that are trying to bring awareness to the effects of the Collider experiments, are being pushed to the fringes. And what if more of us than we realised, were very aware that the world before and after to Collider existed, are now different?  Social media: Instagram - YouTube - TikTok  Support us - Buy Me A Coffee CREDITS https://www.vice.com/en/article/is-cern-causing-mandela-effect-by-creating-portals-to-alternate-dimensions-an-investigation/ https://www.lightnet.co.uk/cern-the-mandela-effect-and-the-fracturing-of-consensus-reality/ https://mandelaeffects.co.uk/cern-is-cause-of-the-mandela-effect-simulation-theory/ https://home.cern/about/ https://news-nest.com/2025/08/14/worlds-smartest-kid-reveals-cern-opened-a-portal-to-another-dimension/ https://patriotpages.wordpress.com/2026/02/02/max-laughlin-cern-and-the-quantum-portal-hypothesis/ https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=max%20loghans%20ehg%20&mid=8C379B6CA9ACC921773B8C379B6CA9ACC921773B&ajaxhist=0  https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=max%20loghans%20ehg%20&mid=E810AFCBA59B0E53CA36E810AFCBA59B0E53CA36&ajaxhist=0 https://uppbeat.io/t/we-are-all-astronauts/wasteland https://dailydot.com/fruit-of-the-loom-cornucopia https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-mandela-effect/id1615076880?i=1000616780496 Social media: Instagram - YouTube - TikTok  Although every effort is made to ensure that the episode is researched and accurate we cannot guarantee the complete contents is entirely factually correct, and AI tools maybe used to enhance the dramatization of episodes.

    The Watcher

    In June 2014, Derek and Maria Broaddus, after months of searching, completed the purchase of their new property, located in the town of Westfield within the US state of New Jersey. Commencing renovations prior to moving in, the family frequently visited the house to check the progress of alterations. When Derek stopped by the house alone, checking the work that had been done, and then collect the mail from within the mailbox. Derek pulled out a white envelope endorsed with handwriting unfamiliar to him and addressed simply to “The New Owner.” The contents of this letter would start a chain of events that created suspicion, fear, police investigations, and ultimately saw to it, that the Broaddus family would never live their new home.

    The Oakville Blobs

    On a quiet August morning in 1994, the residents of Oakville in the US state of Washington, woke to find something falling from the sky. It wasn’t rain, snow or hail. This was different. Something soft. Something translucent. Something alive — or so people said. Within hours, people began to fall sick. Some animals began dying. And the town found itself at the centre of one of the strangest environmental mysteries in American history.
