Ten letters. Ten people who waited decades to say it. Contractors. Archivists. Analysts. A game warden who stopped running solo checks. A detective who never closed the file on Carol Ann Dempsey.

The official scientific explanation for spontaneous human combustion is that you are a candle. Your fat is the wax. Your clothes are the wick. A wrapped pig confirmed it. The report was filed. Everyone went home.One problem. Nobody can explain who lit the match.Tonight Daniel goes through the cases the science couldn't close.Also: Gilberto Valle donated eighty-six dollars to a sick dog in Austria at two in the morning.

An NYPD cop with a badge, a gun, a psychology degree, and a username on a fetish website that I will not be repeating in a place where the algorithm can see me. He never touched anyone. He just wrote things down. Detailed things. Things with oven temperatures. A jury said guilty. A judge said hobby. He currently works in construction. I have chosen not to ask what he builds. The Cannibal Cop - Gilberto Valle. Also a man named DarkMeatDave427 has been banned from four cooking forums and I have follow-up questions."The darkness is your best friend… because you can hide in it."If you want to do something real tonight...

It’s Christmas… but the joy isn’t landing. In this special holiday episode of Piledrivers in the Crypt... demonic Elf on the Shelf incidents, a drunk chain-smoking Santa with a naked Grey alien “helper”... Then we get serious. From Reagan and E.T. to Close Encounters and Taken, Spielberg’s long UFO history becomes the springboard into something darker: what if disclosure never happens because the invasion already did—through AI, distraction, and the slow dumbing-down of the human race?Please consider helping Mikey & my little family:> Website: https://danielgrothe.us/save-mikey> GoFund.Me: https://gofund.me/46b0b4fb> PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/donate/...“The darkness is your best friend… because you can hide in it.”->  Listen to the Archive here! @ danielgrothe.us /.net /.atLet Daniel ...

🎄🩸 Merry Christmas… I guess. 🩸🎄So yeah — the Christmas Special with the Mikes didn’t happen. Shocking, I know.But fear not, my festive little ghouls… predictions were made, holiday feelings were felt (against my will), and the halls are officially decked with bones and existential dread.Listen on all the apps, on my website, and — and I swear on my Art Bell shrine — artbell.us actually works.No irony. No punchline. Reality is weird.🐶 And seriously, before you go back to arguing with your family about nothing:If you can help Mikey, please donate to his fundraiser. Every bit helps, and he’s a better being than most humans you know.Ho ho horror.Remember… the darkness is your best friend because you can hide in it. 🖤Please consider helping Mikey & my little family:> Website: https://danielgrothe.us/save-mikey> GoFund.Me: https://gofund.me/46b0b4fb> PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/donate/...“The darkness is your best friend… because you can hide in it.”->  Listen to the Archive here! @ danielgrothe.us /.net /.atLet Daniel ...

A show that was probably a mistake… I mean, absolutely a mistake. The Mikes are here—yeah, that’s right, for ONE week only. And through some cosmic lapse in judgment I decided to open the wormhole for Larry the Dog.And look, I know… that was a mistake. I admit it. My bad. I’ll say sorry on behalf of both timelines. But listen anyway! It’s painful, it’s emotional, it’s ridiculous—so basically perfect.Do me a favor and crawl over to DanielGrothe.us, or whatever app you use while pretending podcasts make you smarter.And please, for the love of Larry’s glorious memory—help Mikey if you can.Rest in Power, Larry.The real legend.And remember… the darkness is your best friend because you can hide in it.Please consider helping Mikey & my little family:> Website: https://danielgrothe.us/save-mikey> GoFund.Me: https://gofund.me/46b0b4fb> PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/donate/...“The darkness is your best friend… because you can hide in it.”->  Listen to the Archive here! @ danielgrothe.us /.net /.atLet Daniel ...
