Episode 108: Time Travelling Objects

Since the age of just 2, Middlesborough-born Carl Edon spoke of a past life he remembered living: that of a World War 2 German airman, who perished after his plane was shot down in 1942. Following Carl’s tragic murder at the age of just 22, a shocking discovery was made in his home town that prompted his family to ask the most unsettling of questions: was Carl telling the truth for his entire childhood? Had he really been reincarnated? Join Chyaz as she explores this bizarre yet utterly compelling story.Mental health resources UK: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.mind.org.uk/ ⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mental health resources Global:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://unitedgmh.org/support/ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Where to find us!

When 27 year old Andre Daigle went missing after a night out playing pool with a friend, his family and friends were immediately concerned. A missing persons search ensued across the New Orleans area, but despite their enormous efforts no sign of Andre emerged. Meanwhile, two thousand miles away in California, Andre’s sister decides to seek the help of a psychic in an attempt to locate her missing brother. What transpired next is both extraordinary and heartbreaking. In this episode, Chyaz Samuel explores one of the most remarkable, compelling examples of a psychic witness’ involvement in a true crime case in recorded history…Mental health resources UK: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.mind.org.uk/ ⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mental health resources Global:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://unitedgmh.org/support/ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Where to find us!

In December of 1872, a ship named the Mary Celeste was found adrift in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. When the salvage crew boarded the vessel, they discovered that it was in good shape, yet it was entirely deserted: a true ghost ship. But what on earth happened to the 10 souls who had been on board? And why had they abandoned the Mary Celste so far from shore?

Meet Helen Duncan, the Scottish psychic medium who became one of the most famous séance leaders in the nation…as well as the last person to be imprisoned in Britain under the Witchcraft Act of 1735. But if you thought this incident took place sometime in the 18th century, you’d be mistaken. Would you believe that Helen was actually locked up as recently as 1944? This is just one of the endless bizarre details in this incredibly strange tale, which spans two World Wars and countless scandals.

Did you know that many of the phrases we use on a daily basis have fascinatingly strange origins? In this episode, Chyaz explores the weird history behind the idioms and sayings that form part of our everyday conversations, and debunks some of the common explanations that aren’t quite as accurate as we might have thought.

The strange and mysterious death of Elisa Lam at the former Cecil Hotel in 2013 went from a local missing person case to a worldwide spectacle in a matter of days. When bizarre CCTV footage of some of Elisa’s movements in the hostel’s elevator went viral, internet sleuths quickly started forming increasingly outlandish theories as to what could have happened to her. But is the truth behind her tragic passing much easier to explain than the online posts would have you believe? In Part 2 of Episode 100, Chyaz explores the facts of this unusual case, addresses and debunks some of the most viral theories and highlights some of the exceptionally weird coincidences linked with the story.Mental health resources UK: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.mind.org.uk/ ⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mental health resources Global:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://unitedgmh.org/support/ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Where to find us!
