Rest in Pieces: The Curious Fates of Famous Corpses

My special guest is Bess Lovejoy here to discuss her book about Rest in Pieces.A “marvelously macabre” (Kirkus Reviews) history of the bizarre afterlives of corpses of the celebrated and notorious dead.For some of the most influential figures in history, death marked the start of a new adventure. The famous deceased have been stolen, burned, sold, pickled, frozen, stuffed, impersonated, and even filed away in a lawyer’s office. Their fingers, teeth, toes, arms, legs, skulls, hearts, lungs, and nether regions have embarked on voyages that crisscross the globe and stretch the imagination.Counterfeiters tried to steal Lincoln’s corpse. Einstein’s brain went on a cross-country road trip. And after Lord Horatio Nelson perished at Trafalgar, his sailors submerged him in brandy—which they drank.From Alexander the Great to Elvis Presley, and from Beethoven to Dorothy Parker, Rest in Pieces connects the lives of the famous dead to the hilarious and horrifying adventures of their corpses, and traces the evolution of cultural attitudes toward death.🔮 Unlock The Vault!

Tonight, my special guest is investigator and author William Ramsey who's here to discuss the very chilling phenomena of The Smiley Face Murders.During a night out with friends on January 25, 2017, 23-year-old Dakota James left his friends at a bar on Liberty Avenuein downtown Pittsburgh. James was presumably going home to the north side of Pittsburgh. Surveillance camera footage from the Cultural District caught James walking through Katz Plaza as well as down an alley toward Fort Duquesne Boulevard. This footage seems to be the last known footage of him alive. The main theory is that he used the alley to cross Fort Duquesne Boulevard to Clemente Bridge to urinate in the Allegheny River. According to his friends, James had been possibly drugged and attempted to be abducted six weeks before his disappearance. Kevin Gannon thinks that James was also drugged on the night he disappeared. Gannon believes that James was then abducted, held for some time, killed and dumped in a body of water. Forty days after Dakota's disappearance, his body was found in the Ohio River near Interstate 79 bridge over Neville Island. His death was ruled as an accidental drowning by the medical examiner. Dr. Cyril Wecht found that the level of decomposition did not fit that of a person who had been in the water for seven winter weeks. Pam James, the mother of the victim, mentioned that her son had no marks on his body, as would normally be found on a body that had traveled down a river for 10 miles and supposedly through a dam. From these findings, the detectives and Dr. Wecht believed that the body was placed in the river beyond the Emsworth Dam on the back channel of the river. Robinson Township volunteer swift-water rescuers Kenny Kisow and Scott Grahn also corroborated these findings and agreed that the body would not have looked as pristine as it did if he had traveled that far and gone through a dam. 🔮 Unlock The Vault!

They told you the Nazis lost. Stewart Swerdlow says that's the biggest lie of the 20th century. In this jaw-dropping episode of Mysterious Radio, Montauk Project survivor and mind-control expert Stewart Swerdlow reveals how the Third Reich didn't fall in 1945 — it went underground, infiltrated global power structures, and is still operating today as a hidden Fourth Reich.Swerdlow drops a bombshell claim most listeners have never heard: that he himself was a Nazi officer, Johannes von Gruber, aboard the USS Eldridge during the infamous Philadelphia Experiment — before an alleged extraterrestrial soul-transfer technology placed his consciousness into a new body. It sounds impossible. He says it's classified history.From there, the conversation goes even deeper into forbidden territory: the Book of Revelation decoded not as ancient prophecy, but as a hidden historical blueprint tracing secret societies, Illuminati bloodlines, Kabbalah and Zohar symbolism, and the elite "Blue Blood" families who Swerdlow claims still run the world. He explains how postwar Nazi officers were allegedly given new identities, body-swapping technology, and protection at the highest levels of government — a claim so explosive that even David Icke has publicly backed Swerdlow's work.Buckle up for a deep dive into Nazi occultism, mind control programming, end-times prophecy, secret government experiments, and the hidden bloodlines connecting World War II to the present day. Is this the missing chapter of history they don't want you to know? Tune in and decide for yourself.🔮 Unlock The Vault!

A comprehensive look at the life and continuing influence of 16th-century scientific genius and occultist Dr. John Dee.• Presents an overview of Dee’s scientific achievements, intelligence and spy work, imperial strategizing, and his work developing methods to communicate with angels• Pieces together Dee’s fragmentary Spirit Diaries and examines Enochian in precise detail and the angels’ plan to establish a New World Order• Explores Dee’s influence on Sir Francis Bacon, modern science, Rosicrucianism, and 20th-century occultists such as Jack Parsons, Aleister Crowley, and Anton LaVeyDr. John Dee (1527-1608), Queen Elizabeth I’s court advisor and astrologer, was the foremost scientific genius of the 16th century. Laying the foundation for modern science, he actively promoted mathematics and astronomy as well as made advances in navigation and optics that helped elevate England to the foremost imperial power in the world. Centuries ahead of his time, his theoretical work included the concept of light speed and prototypes for telescopes and solar panels. Dee, the original “007” (his crown-given moniker), even invented the idea of a “British Empire,” envisioning fledgling America as the new Atlantis, himself as Merlin, and Elizabeth as Arthur.But, as Jason Louv explains, Dee was suppressed from mainstream history because he spent the second half of his career developing a method for contacting angels. After a brilliant ascent from star student at Cambridge to scientific advisor to the Queen, Dee, with the help of a disreputable, criminal psychic named Edward Kelley, devoted ten years to communing with the angels and archangels of God. These spirit communications gave him the keys to Enochian, the language that mankind spoke before the fall from Eden. Piecing together Dee’s fragmentary Spirit Diaries and scrying sessions, the author examines Enochian in precise detail and explains how the angels used Dee and Kelley as agents to establish a New World Order that they hoped would unify all monotheistic religions and eventually dominate the entire globe.Presenting a comprehensive overview of Dee’s life and work, Louv examines his scientific achievements, intelligence and spy work, imperial strategizing, and Enochian magick, establishing a psychohistory of John Dee as a singular force and fundamental driver of Western history. Exploring Dee’s influence on Sir Francis Bacon, the development of modern science, 17th-century.🔮 Unlock The Vault!

Not all hauntings are the same — and understanding the differences might be the key to explaining what's really happening in the places we call haunted. This episode breaks down the different classifications paranormal researchers use to categorize ghostly activity: residual hauntings, where a location seems to replay the same event over and over like a recording, with no awareness of the living; intelligent hauntings, where a spirit appears to interact, respond, and even communicate with the people around it; poltergeist activity, marked by physical disturbances — objects moving, loud noises, doors slamming — often tied to a living person rather than a place; shadow figures, dark humanoid shapes seen at the edge of vision; and demonic or non-human entities, which many researchers and demonologists distinguish entirely from human spirits. We'll dig into the theories behind why hauntings happen, the evidence investigators look for, real documented cases that fit each category, and how to tell the difference between a residual echo and something that's actually aware you're there.🔮 Unlock The Vault!
