The Hands
Laurah is out sick this week; please enjoy the full release of Premium Episode 64, The Hands. In Southwestern England, a legend grew along the road now known along the B3212—one that involved an invisible entity that forced drivers off the roads and into dangerous, and even fatal, accidents.

The Hands Resist Him
Laurah is recovering from Covid. Thanks for your patience! Back in 2000, one of the first viral "haunted" Ebay auctions listed an allegedly cursed painting titled The Hands Resist Him; it was alleged to spark all kinds of supernatural activity, which surprised exactly no one who'd gazed upon the spooky work. But was it actually plagued by any sort of ill-luck or tied to true ghostly activity?

Laurah's out sick; please enjoy a re-release of one of our favorite episodes. A Washington man named Jason Padgett loved partying, muscle cars, and getting buff at the local gym, and would have been content to live his life singing karaoke and chasing girls--until a fateful attack changed his worldview. . . quite literally. When he woke up the next day after receiving serious blows to the head, Jason realized that he could see things that others couldn't. And he didn't know what to make of them.

INTERVIEW: Laurah Norton (Lay Them to Rest)
I was lucky enough to get an advance copy of Laurah Norton's new book: "Lay Them to Rest: On the Road with the Cold Case Investigators Who Identify the Nameless."

In her book, she focuses on one case in particular, Ina Jane Doe, whose partial remains were found in a state park in Illinois in January of 1993. The incredible part? Laurah and her team of experts managed to...

Special: The Elves
As a little holiday treat, we wanted to share one of our favorite episodes with you again — ad free — to enjoy this weekend. Arizona might not seem like the typical setting for holiday magic, but for decades, some mysterious local “elves” have turned a spherical, scrubby-looking desert juniper out on I-17 into what has to have been one of America’s more unlikely Christmas spectacles; but who are they, and why are they so determined to light up the lonely landscape?
