Welcome to What The Heck season 4! This podcast explores unexplained phenomena using stories gathered from various sources, then applies an academic research method to find theories and solutions for each one. So far, we've been unsuccessful in finding any concrete answers, but a few of the stories we've covered have been solved. Today, we're looking at the mysterious death of Netta Fornario. Her body was discovered in 1929 after a search that took place overnight. In the days leading up to her disappearance, she had been acting erratically on the island of Iona.She had been there for only a few months. Who was Netta Fornario? What was she doing on Iona? Is this the episode where we discover that magic is real? Does it even make sense? Listen in to find out!
