The Grim Curriculum ·

2024/02/24

Brazil is certainly no stranger to UFO sightings and Extraterrestrial events. In 1996, Varginha, Brazil, became the focal point of a widely reported UFO incident. Multiple witnesses from all walks of life claimed to have seen odd, vaguely humanoid creatures in the area. Amidst the sightings (and smellings), local military personnel were deployed, sparking speculation of a government cover-up. Despite official denials and some conflicting accounts, the 1996 Varginha Incident is one of our favourite

Episode 92: Killdozer: The Story of Marvin Heemeyer

The Grim Curriculum ·

2024/01/20

Today's case is probably one of the most extreme versions of taking matters into your own hands. Marvin Heemeyer was a guy with some serious grudges against those in his community. So serious in fact, that one day he decided that he would seek what he felt was the justice he deserved. He did so throughout the course of 127 minutes when he drove through the town of Granby, Colorado in his specially modified bulldozer that would later be dubbed “The KillDozer”.

The last time we saw Roch Theriault and the Ant Hill Kids, things were starting to go downhill, and quick. Even after Roch was hospitalized he did not lose his power over his followers, in fact he was able to produce a pretty positive public image for a short while. Roch and other group members were eventually incarcerated and their compound was complete razed by authorities but even this did not slow down the madness and horror. He had them all in his grip and was not letting go. Have a case
