#250 Mr Fritz the Haunted Ventriloquist Doll from World War Two

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe Mr Fritz, a potentially haunted, or possessed ventriloquist doll from the era of World War Two. Billy Booth was a US soldier sadly killed towards the end of the war, just before the Prisoner of War camp Billy was captured within was liberated. Billy, a former children’s entertainer, had brought a little light relief to the camp with his ventriloquist act and to keep his memory alive, Billy’s friends sent Billy’s doll Mr Fritz to Billy’s family after they were free. The doll was freaky as sh!t and ended up being passed from owner to owner before ending up in the hands of a magician who knew how to limit the dolls now otherworldly activity for you see, Mr Fritz, continued to move by himself. It’s been said that this tale holds the most legitimate evidence of paranormal activity ever discovered. Because we said it.

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe the David Lang disappearance of 1880 Tennessee. Th 23rd of September 1880 had been a hard morning on David Lang’s farm. It would get even harder for the rest of the family after Judge August Peck visited with his brother in law Mr Wade because no sooner had the gentlemen arrived than David Lang quite literally vanished in to thin air. Yes, David Lang basically blipped out of existence. He was there then he wasn’t. Was David a Victorian era magician? Was this an alien abduction? Did David slip in to some kind of pit or cavern? Did David step on a fairy and live to regret it? Or was this all an elaborate plan to escape family life on the farm? There’s also the possibility that this never happened at all, sure, but we have evidence. Limited evidence. Including an alleged statement of truth from one of the witnesses… Alongside the case we ponder… Can horses sense disturbances in the cow force? How does time travel freaking work, exactly?

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe the mysterious faces of Bélmez de La Moraleda. Since 1971, María Gómez Cámara’s family residence has been plagued by mysterious faces. First, one appeared in the floor and María’s husband and son pretty much merked it but soon enough, more would appear. The mayor got involved to ensure that the mysterious faces could be studied but study after study have conflicted each other and these faces, remain, unexplained. Could they be ghosts? Spirits visiting María? Purely coincidental markings? A hoax? Do we have a ghost artist on our hands? The problem is that many of these faces are in different styles and can’t be fully explained by modern science. But can we explain them?

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe a close encounter between an 18 year old herdsman and a group of aliens aboard a mini death star aka flying saucer. The aliens may or may not have had a leader and may or may not have landed using more archaic technology than that available to them because at that point, that technology wasn’t available to them. But was Alexey slabbed? Alexey thinks so and a repeat visit some 40 years later may or may not confirm it. There was also another witness to this event… All that and more on this deep probe.     Probe us: Email: [email protected] Instagram/Threads @ ButItWasAliens Twitter @ ButItWasAliens Facebook: @ ButItWasAliens - join Extraterrestrial Towers     Music:  Music created via Garageband.

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe a family that tried to let it go. Let it go. But every time they did, it came right back. That ‘it’ was an Elsa doll from Disney’s Frozen. The doll was 6 years old and the battery should’ve run out long ago but this Elsa may have been powered by something else. The doll also started speaking a different language to the pre-programmed settings. Was this one ghosts, demons, negative paranormal energy, or was a family member to blame? Alongside that, we discover that Mr Moonwalker can’t finish.

Sally was visited by a body part and following that, dark figures appeared to follow Sally and her family wherever she went.

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe the Oak Island Money Pit in Nova Scotia, Canada. First discovered in 1795 but also possibly first discovered centuries earlier, this hole has been probed many a time by many a company. Most of those companies went bankrupt and pulled out of the hole. The hole, Daniel’s hole to begin with, had many a log inside. It wasn’t just logs in this hole, there was a mysterious inscribed stone and evidence of past exploration. But was there treasure buried inside and did that treasure once belong to a pirate or explorer who couldn’t reclaim what was once theirs? If so, did they booby trap the hole, or was a curse placed upon the Money Pit? Did seven people need to die before the treasure could be found and if so, how many people have actually died looking for this treasure?

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we head back to 1980, travelling from Oklahoma to New Mexico as we probe whether Myrna Hansen and her boy were abducted by a UFO, after observing a cow being abducted prior. Did the aliens accidentally take the family or did they want to leave no witnesses behind? Because her description was so accurate, the military believed that Myrna went to a weapon storage facility where alien greys and humans may have worked side by side. Did this one happen as explained, or was this a case of hypnotic regression gone crazy. Alongside that… Do you know any Pokemon jokes? Let Mr Moonwalker know, he loves them!

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe whether famous historical figure and Patron Saint of France Joan of Arc was visited by angels, demons, aliens or something else entirely. Joan, more likely Jeanne or Jehanette and who wasn’t from Arc, was born in 1412 and may have been the foretold one - a prophecy had foretold that an armed virgin would save France. That prophecy may have come from Merlin. Joan insisted on a meeting with the Dauphin, the uncrowned Charles the 7th and indeed, was eventually granted an audience with Charles whereby Joan was able to identify the man she had never met (the man who was at that time wearing somebody else’s clothing). This all somehow led to Joan accompanying military forces before beginning to command those forces in their continued success driving the English back. Eventually, Joan’s mission was successful - Charles was crowned king and France was pretty much saved. Joan’s desire to attack those who opposed Charles continued however and Joan was eventually captured before being handed over to the English for execution following a farce of a trial. The whole time, Joan conducted herself well. Joan was indeed executed before eventually becoming Patron Saint. But where did Joan’s messages come from? Those messages did indeed do as Joan herself claimed they would do. Some alternatives explanations are covered… All that and more on this week’s file.     Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/butitwasaliens   Store: https://butitwasaliens.co.uk/shop/     Probe us: Email: [email protected] Instagram/Threads @ ButItWasAliens Twitter @ ButItWasAliens Facebook: @ ButItWasAliens - join Extraterrestrial Towers     Music:  Music created via Garageband.
