Some crimes are so heinous that they defy explanation. Dark crimes that leave investigators speechless due to the absolute vileness of the perpetrators. In the fall of 2012 one of these crimes was discovered in a town in the Canadian province of Quebec. A crime of such unthinkable barbarity that it launched one of the largest police investigations in the history of Canada. An international team of investigators were gathered to piece together the evidence and solve this crime of unmatched barbarity that reached across Canada’s southern border into parts of the northeastern US. Those affected by these crimes had no idea how an atrocity of this magnitude could have been committed right under their noses for close to a year.

During the 1960s and ’70s, the world’s two largest superpowers vied to be the first to put a human on the surface of our closest planetary neighbor, the moon. Both the United States and the Soviet Union spent an immense amount of manpower and resources in order to study and map the lunar surface in preparation for this massive endeavor. NASA’s Apollo missions, from 1969-1972, put a total of 12 people on the moon. From these missions, valuable information and data were gathered that perhaps raised more questions than answers for scientists studying our lunar companion. Rocks that had been gathered from the surface-displayed magnetic properties that challenged previous theories of the moon not having a magnetic field. Seismometers placed on the moon picked up incredible readings that prompted remarks that the moon “rings like a bell” during impacts on the lunar surface. Even with the incredible amount of new information learned about the moon to date, scientists are still debating about the origins of the moon

In October of 1307 A.D. King Philip IV of France ordered a series of early morning raids to apprehend members of the Order of the Knights Templar. In 1312 the powerful monarch would conspire with the Catholic Church and have Pope Clement V officially dissolve the holy order of knights. Why would the Catholic Church bend to the will of the French king? What happened to the other chapters of Templars outside of France? What secrets did the Templars possibly possess that made them such a threat to the power structure of the European monarchy?

In 1139 The Pope of the Catholic Church, Innocent II, issued a landmark order that would create a fundamental shift in power throughout Europe and the Middle East. The mandate would establish an order of highly trained knights that would answer to no one but the Pope. The order of knights would be formally charged with the safeguarding of pilgrims traveling to the holy land of Jerusalem and the defense of the lands which had been taken during the Crusades. For their service, they were afforded a multitude of privileges. They were given the first choice of spoils of wars fought in the holy lands. They were made exempt from the local taxes of kings and lords. All donations of things like money and land were to be put under the protection of the Pope himself. This order of knights would quickly go on to accrue vast amounts of wealth and resources. Unfortunately, that wealth and goodwill that they amassed for nearly two hundred years could not save them from a violent purge by one of the most powerful monarchs of

On the evening of August 21, 1955, a family raced into the Hopkinsville, Kentucky police station to report that their house was under attack by a group of alien creatures. These creatures had appeared to try and gain entry to the family’s home and were seemingly fended off by two of the men who opened fire on the creatures. This event is one of the most harrowing tales of an extraterrestrial encounter within the UFO world. The idea that otherworldly visitors would apparently choose to terrorize a family is chilling. In January of 1998, a TV special aired that claimed to be clear documentation of another family being assaulted by extraterrestrials within their own home. The video, seemingly recorded on a handheld camcorder, was said to have captured the disturbing final hours of the McPherson family who disappeared after the night of November 27, 1997.

Throughout the world, there are places that have long been thought to be entrances to the underworld. Openings that linked the mortal world to the terrifying domains of demons and devils. In Fengdu, China it’s rumored that two court officials during the Han dynasty had forsaken their posts to seek eternal life and their city became a gateway to the afterlife. In Iceland the prison of Judas is said to be Mount Hekla after its eruption in 1104 A.D. and that the birds that seemed to flock to its eruptions were actually souls of the damned. In ancient Rome, an area where one could broker deals with gods and speak with the dead were often referred to as a Mundus and one of these was a pit near the very heart of Rome known as Lacus Curtius. Not far from the modern-day city of Prague in the Czech republic sits one of these legendary gateways. A place where winged demons were said to take to the skies in search of victims during the night. A place so demonic that it could only be sealed with the construction of an en

In the early hours of Jan 12, 1975, in Braddock Park in North Bergen, New Jersey local store owner George O’Barski was in his car when the radio suddenly filled with static. Around the same time, a doorman from the nearby Stonehenge Apartments reported seeing strange floating lights. O’Barski would later go on to describe the fantastic encounter he had that night in an interview with known UFO investigator Bud Hopkins. O’Barski recounted how he had seen an object seemingly 30 feet long and floating only 6 feet above the ground. The object landed and humanoid figures emerged from the craft and seemed to collect samples of soil from the ground of the park and then re-embark on the craft lifted back into the air. O’Barski said he returned to the site hours later and was amazed to find holes exactly where the creatures had been. New Jersey is no stranger to UFO sightings and almost exactly, to the day, 6 years prior to Mr. O'barski’s encounter it would seem UFOs had visited in search of something else besides

To this day, the Roswell UFO incident remains one of the most intriguing cases of an alleged UFO crash and subsequent recovery. The U.S. Military’s explanation and documents that support the claim of a secret military project to monitor atmospheric radiation from nuclear testing are seen, by many in the world of Ufology, as an attempt to continue the 70-year cover-up of what was really recovered on that New Mexico ranch in July of 1947. The common consensus within the UFO world is that some type of alien craft was recovered. What condition it was in and exactly what else was transported to the military base located in Ft. Worth, Texas is still a matter of some dispute. One account, from a firefighter who claimed to have responded to the call of smoking debris, mentioned that not only had he seen military personnel recovering objects from the supposed crash site but also he had witnessed at least 3 unmoving bodies and one still upright and walking around the crash site. In 1995 a 17-minute long film was presen

In 1692 the Puritan colonies of North America had fallen on dark times. The colonists had suffered through two devastating wars with Native American and French neighbors which had left much of the Maine frontier a scorched ruin and produced a refugee crisis. The colonies had their charter revoked and a military governor installed. These circumstances had a visible impact on the towns which inhabited the Massachusetts coast. Towns that had seen growing prosperity and had begun to move away from their austere and devout origins. Numerous religious leaders began to see these unfortunate events as an encroaching darkness which signaled God’s displeasure at the colonists' departures from tradition and purity. There was a call for religious and moral reformation, supporters began to search for any way to prove their devotion and regain the favor of their deity. For hundreds of years, there was one well-known way to thin the ranks of the Devil, to identify those who consorted with the Lord of Lies and cast them

On May 24, 2006 Mark Whistler, Steven King, and George Rayburn had run into each other on the eighth day after the disappearance of their mutual friend Rey Rivera. Prior to the 24th, the men had been active in handing out missing person flyers and putting up posters in the downtown Baltimore area. The group decided to check out the parking garage adjacent to the historic Belvedere hotel near where Ray’s vehicle had been found abandoned days earlier. From the top of the seven-level parking structure, Steven and George, looking out onto the roof of the three-floor attachment of the Belvedere Hotel, would see two brown flip flops that would lead them to the discovery of Ray’s body and bring the search for their friend to a tragic close.

Thanks for following us over to Spotify! We appreciate it. While we are with Spotify, Afterhours will be included with the regular Case Files In 1906 an American astronomer, by the name of Percival Lowell, began his search for a planet beyond Neptune. Based on calculations from the believed irregularities in the orbits of Uranus and Neptune, Lowell and his team pursued the possible trans-Neptunian planet that he was convinced lurked on the edge of our solar system.  Unfortunately, Lowell would die before he was able to discover the object of his search was the dwarf planet known as Pluto. In recent years the possibility of another orbiting body has been raised by groups of scientists around the world. Some astronomers believe this object, that could possibly be as large as Neptune, may be orbiting through the Kuiper Belt where the leftovers of our solar system's formation lay. The existence of this shadowy planet is not doubted by those who believe that we will be able to observe it moving through our sky

In 1957 the U.S. Chemical Corps of Engineers had been producing chemical munitions, using the deadly sarin nerve gas, to fulfill their stockpile requirements set by the U.S. Department of Defense. After filling these quotas, the Chemical Corps pivoted their means of production of VX nerve gas. VX had the sinister reputation of being three times as toxic as sarin when inhaled and almost one thousand times more toxic when absorbed through the skin. With one liter having the theoretical capacity for killing one million people. Many of the men who helped in the development and production of these weapons of unparalleled lethality were former Nazis who, just a little more than a decade before, were building weapons that were intended to be used on Allied soldiers during WWII. But even before Berlin had fallen, many of these scientists who were captured by advancing Allied froces had thrown away their allegiance to the Nazi ideology and professed innocence and ignorance of the multitude of war crimes that happened

During the 1970's the possibility of global nuclear war was still treated as a very real threat. Both the U.S. and Soviet Union were caught in a seemingly endless race of nuclear weapon proliferation. In the northern state of Minnesota, the U.S. had constructed several bases that housed installations for the launch of nuclear ballistic missiles. In 1967 in the nearby state in Montana it was reported that, after a dramatic encounter with a UFO, a number of nuclear missiles housed there had been made inoperable. The seeming interest of these unidentified phenomena in the nuclear weapons constructed by humans has been well documented in the countless sightings of UFOs around and above their facilities. In 1979 did a local sheriff’s deputy possibly encounter one of the devices sent to observe the activities at a nearby military base housing nuclear-tipped missiles? What evidence left several investigators unable to suggest an earthly explanation for the physical damage left to the deputy’s vehicle? This case

In 221 BC, after a swift and brutal campaign of reunification, the king of the Qin nation declared himself sole ruler over the lands that would later become modern-day China. Giving himself the title of Shi Huangdi, or “First Emperor”. For nearly two thousand years a majority of the records and descriptions the world had of the first emperor of China were from sources 100 years after his rise to power and rule. An entire era lost to time. But from one of the most referenced texts from the dynasty that followed the Qin, the Han dynasty, there was the description of the First Emperor’s lost tomb. A magnificent complex and structure unmatched by anything in the known world. Rivers of flowing mercury, torches fed by mermaid oil, treasures gathered from all the corners of the realm to be laid with the first Emperor. Once thought only to exist in legend, it wouldn't be until 1974 that villagers digging wells would uncover lifelike clay warriors buried in the earth that would point to the lost tomb of the Dragon

In the United States, there are a few contenders for the title UFO capital. You might think it’s New Mexico, with its sprawling deserts and history of UFO crashes and secret military bases. You may guess it’s California, covering two-thirds of the west coast and the location for the sensational Battle of Los Angeles in 1942. Both guesses would be wrong. After compiling data on UFO sightings throughout the US, it turns out that the state you're most likely to spot unidentified aerial phenomenon is Vermont. Located in the northeastern U.S., known as the “Green Mountain State”, Vermont has a history with UFOs stretching as far back as the mid 17th century. On an August evening in 1968, two teenage summer camp workers got to experience the Vermont UFO phenomenon up close and personal.

During the 1700’s thousands of French settlers were expelled from the Northeastern region of North America and were forced to return to France or resettle in various other areas. One of the most popular destinations was the then Spanish colony of Louisiana. Over the following century, these recently arrived French and the area’s Native American cultures blended into what we now call Cajuns. Although, bloodlines and customs were not the only things that ended up mixing together. Legends of a shapeshifting terror also took form from the shared beliefs of both groups. An unholy beast that stalks the swamps and bayous with an uncontrollable thirst for blood. The creature has many supposed beginnings,  a witch's curse, The soul of an unbaptized child given to the swamps to be raised by alligators, the origins of the beast are as murky as the waters of the bayous themselves.

In May of 1967, Stefan Michalak was out hunting for quartz when a group of geese had seemingly been spooked by two glowing cigar shaped objects. Michalak’s encounter at Falcon Lake would go on to produce one of Canada’s most well known UFO encounters. A little less than a decade later and about 100 miles west, over the skies of the town of Carman another incredible phenomenon took place. Beginning in early 1975 town residents began observing a strange object crossing their skies with alarming regularity. The object appeared so frequently that those who watched the skies, trying to catch a glimpse of the object, allegedly began to ascribe human characteristics to the object and even gave it a proper name. According to author Grant Cameron, the phenomenon would produce incredible sightings and encounters for nearly two years and coincide with some of the most tense years of the Cold War.

Set in what is now the Rubio Woods Forest Preserve just 18 miles southeast of Chicago, Illinois sits an unassuming plot of land that houses an estimated 150 graves. These graves, the first burial taking place in 1844, have long been untended and are in various states of disrepair. Visitors and paranormal experts who have visited the grounds have reported feelings of despair and isolation while walking among the headstones and in the surrounding forest. Coupled with the vandalization of numerous gravestones there have been recorded incidents of illegal exhumation of some of the human remains. Perhaps, it is these acts of desecration, many which happened during the 60’s and 70’s, that have led to the appearance of so many haunting apparitions that are associated with the area and have earned it the title of one of the most haunted cemeteries in the U.S. This casefile, join the Theorists as they go looking for the fiesta at the phantom house in...Bachelor’s Grove Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/

Holding the title of UFO capital of Scotland, the city of Bonnybridge racks up around 300 mysterious sightings a year. In 1992 the first sighting was reported by businessman, James Walker, who claimed to have seen a ‘star-shaped’ flying low over the road he was driving on and blocking his path. Within a few years, an impressive number of reports of mysterious objects began to populate the local newspapers and put Bonnybridge on the map with 600 sightings taking place just between 1992 and 1994. While Bonnybridge may hold the title for close encounters of the first kind, 15 miles southeast in the town of Livingston, one man holds the title for close encounters of the fourth kind. A little over a decade before Bonnybridge became known as UFO hotspot, a forestry worker had a harrowing experience that, due to his credibility as a witness, was filed as an actual case of assault by a UFO.
