In 1930s Ohio, a reclusive inventor named Joseph Cermitsky lived alone in a Victorian house that locals feared. When a drifter vanished near his property, Detective Bob Rosenthal went to investigate. On August 3rd 1937, he found an open window and slipped inside. The basement was filled with strange machines and hidden levers. When he pulled one, the walls shifted, revealing chambers of remains and mechanical traps. As he turned to escape, Cermitsky stood in the corner, silent and calm. What happened next became the town’s most terrifying legend. This episode recreates the night Hamburg’s quiet inventor showed what his machines were really for—and how one detective barely made it out alive.

The Billionaire Who Built Real-Life Squid Game
RSS — DESCRIPTION (≈130 words)In the 1950s, billionaire Jez Bezos invited the world’s desperate to his private island for a chance to win $67 million. The rules were simple — the games were not. If you lost, you never left. By 1967, two former soldiers exposed the truth: a secret control room, betting screens, and a list marked “eliminated.” They freed the survivors and hunted Bezos to his bunker. A lightning strike set his helicopter ablaze. When the smoke cleared, all that remained was a torn black suit — and a tiger licking blood from its paws. This episode follows the timeline, the rebellion, and the mystery of a billionaire who turned competition into carnage.

The Magician Who Made His Audience Disappear
RSS — DESCRIPTION (≈120–140 words)In 1891, New York’s famed illusionist—the Great Zaza—promised one final trick. Before a crowd of 1,600, he asked them to close their eyes and count to ten. Before they reached nine, the room was empty. Only a handful of theater workers remained, each claiming they saw Zaza flee into the night. Officials minimized the incident for decades, calling it rumor and hysteria. Then, in 1963, a film crew in Antarctica found frozen remains—people, animals, even props—matching the disappearances tied to Zaza’s act. This episode lays out the sequence, the witnesses, and the numbers that don’t let the story die. Dates, receipts, and the one question that still cuts through the noise: how do you bury a trick that keeps leaving evidence in the ice?

“Mrs. Cupcake” and the Don Sampson Trial
They were America’s TV triplets—Ron, Don, and John Sampson of Triple Harmony. Then the 1980s hit and John’s plane vanished over the Atlantic. Fame fractured. Ron drifted into a hair-metal sideshow. Don rebranded as a TV karate hothead with lawsuits to match. In 1988, Don dialed 911 in tears: “My brother’s been eaten by Mrs. Cupcake.” His fifteen-foot pet python. An accident, at first—until the autopsy didn’t fit. What followed was years of spectacle: a marathon trial, a 1992 guilty verdict for Ron’s death, and then Don’s prison-written memoir, My Troubled Triple Life, bragging about sabotaging John’s plane. Case reopened. Courthouse recess. Air-vent escape. Seven missing years. In 1999, a tip: someone’s ex-girlfriend might actually be Don Sampson.
