In our first Patreon-suggested episode, we discuss various different cases of individuals who are alleged to have intentionally faked their own disappearance. In many of our earlier episodes this is a common theory for many unexplained vanishings, however it is extremely difficult to prove the individual’s intent. In some cases there is no evidence of foul play or abduction; it simply appears that they just dropped off the face of the earth. In other scenarios it would appear that the missing individual took a more careful approach to orchestrating the events in order to look like they were abducted or killed.
There are various reasons an individual might be motivated to commit such an act: perhaps they are trying to avoid debt or escape from an individual, gang, or the law. Or perhaps someone is just so overwhelmingly bored with their life they wish to start over. However the legal and financial implications of doing so are staggering. Check out this episode and learn all about what it takes to successfully disappear.

The Jersey Devil is one of America’s most well known and oldest monster story. This hybrid creature’s origin supposedly dates back before the formation of the United States even. Combining the body parts of numerous different animals, this horrifying creature was rumored to be the spawn of the Devil itself. This monster allegedly lurks in the deep woods of New Jersey, scaring unsuspecting hikers with its blood curdling scream.
