What if your dream home turned into your worst nightmare home?



For the Broaddus family, their 2014 purchase of 657 Boulevard in Westfield, New Jersey, turned into nothing short of a shared nightmare.



Just days after purchasing their idyllic new home, the Broaddus family began to receive a series of unsettling letters from a stalker calling themselves "The Watcher" of the home. These letters contained disturbing details about the family and the history of the house, as well as thinly-veiled threats against their children, leaving the Broadduses shaking with fear and questioning who was behind it. The police were just as baffled as anyone else, and ultimately could not identify the source of the shocking letters.



In the end, they were forced to sell the house off at a steep loss several years later, without ever having moved in, and the letter writer is still out there, somewhere in the ether, having never been identified or brought to justice.



Join Ivan and Nate on this most excellent episode as they attempt to figure who the Westfield Watcher was, and what his or her motives were.

In December 1968, Tokyo witnessed a crime that continues to baffle authorities, armchair detectives, and neckbeards nearly 60 years later.

A cunning young man decided that the world was his, and hatched a genius plan – a plan so bold, that some would even call it stupid. However, its brazen nature, paired with the unquestioning compliance of the average human being ensured its success.

As the old saying goes: if it’s stupid but it works, it’s not stupid.

The robber, along with the cash, disappeared into the wet, misty streets of Tokyo like tears in rain, having never been formally identified.

Deep within the swampy jungles of Central Africa lurks a legend: Mokele-mbembe. This name, translating roughly to "one who stops the flow of rivers" in the Lingala language, refers to a creature said to inhabit the Congo Basin. Described as a monstrous, long-necked sauropod, Mokele-mbembe has captured the imaginations of cryptozoologists and locals alike for centuries, sparking debate over whether it's a relic from the dinosaur era or a product of folklore.



Join Ivan and Nate as they pack their heaviest weaponry and head out on a journey down the Congo River, not in search of Kurtz, but rather, what some believe to be the last remaining dinosaur on Earth: Mokele-Mbembe.

In August of 1993, the hit television series Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers dropped on the Fox Kids network and took America's youth by storm. Toys, Halloween costumes, and other merchandise were flying off the shelves, and the creators of the show were flyin' high.

To this day, the series is still running; proving its staying power and giving birth to multiple generations of fans; bridging the gap between young kids and old crusty neckbeards who refuse to grow up.



However, a suspicious amount of death, bad luck, greed and other negativity has loomed over many of the show's cast members over the last few decades, causing many to wonder:

Is there a CURSE on the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers?
