The Cash-Landrum UFO Attack | Dark Mysteries

Hometown Ghost Stories ·

2025/11/21

On Dec. 29, 1980, Betty Cash, Vickie Landrum, and her grandson Colby encountered a blazing diamond-shaped UFO hovering over a Texas road, spewing flames and intense heat. Surrounded by 23 military helicopters, the object left after 15 minutes. All three suffered severe radiation-like burns, vomiting, hair loss, and long-term illness. They sued the U.S. government, alleging a secret craft, but lost in 1986 due to lack of evidence. The Cash-Landrum case remains one of ufology’s most compelling and

Calgary. New city. Old bones. Devil’s Playground: a schoolhouse torched with every child inside. The field is empty now… except for the laughter that rises when the temperature drops. Deane House: axe murders, a boy in the attic noose, blood that sweats through fresh paint, and a braided apparition still guarding ground that was stolen long before the foundation was poured. Lougheed House: Lady Isabella locked forever at the window. The piano breathes a single chord in the dark. Dead couples

For sixty-six years, Preston Castle stood as a monument to reform and a witness to suffering. Built in 1894 as California’s first institution for wayward youth, its red brick walls saw generations of disaffected youth pass through, some to redemption, others to ruin. When the lights went out in 1960, the building fell silent, but the silence didn’t last. From the boy shot during his escape attempt to the sick left to die in its infirmary, and finally to Anna Corbin, the beloved housekeeper whose

Hometown Ghost Stories ·

2025/10/29

Nestled in the forks of the Licking River just east of Columbus sits the city of Newark Ohio. Incorporated in 1813, the city is known for both its midwestern industrial roots as well as its small town charm. But beneath that charm is a darker side; a haunted side. From the midland theater to the Cedar Hill Cemetery - two locations reputed to be so haunted that the mere mention of them causes locals to go weeks without sleep. But what the city is most notorious for is its old jailhouse, The Licking

Nestled in the shadowy pine woods of Gurdon, Arkansas, the Gurdon Light has haunted the imagination of locals and thrill-seekers for nearly a century. First spotted in the 1930s along abandoned railroad tracks, this eerie orb—glowing white, blue, orange, or green—floats and sways like a lantern bobbing on an invisible cord, sometimes swelling to the size of a basketball before vanishing into the night.Legend ties it to tragedy: In 1931, railroad foreman William McClain was brutally murdered with a

Malvern, Iowa... a forgotten railroad town born in the 1870s, where dreams rusted into shadows. Malvern Manor, once a bustling inn, morphed into a grim nursing home by the ‘50s, shut down in 2005 for neglect. Now? It’s a magnet for paranormal activity. Across the street, sits the Classic Cafe, a former doctors office and mortuary, it is now rumored to be one of Iowa's most haunted restaurants. We spent the night in Malvern on the second stop of our midwest tour. Find out what we caught during our

2025/10/15

Our Midwest road trip kicked off in the small town of Atchison, Kansas. It’s a town often called one of the most haunted in America, and with a population of just over 10,000, that’s probably pretty accurate from a per capita perspective. It’s home to some of the most infamous paranormal locations in the Midwest, including the formidable McInteer Villa, and the much smaller, notoriously haunted Sallie House. This was the first stop on our four part journey through the American heartland, and to say

Led by Andrea Volpe and Nicola Sapone, the group lured victims into ritual sacrifices to seal pacts with darkness.Their horrors began on January 17, 1998, in the misty woods near Somma Lombardo, northwest of Milan. There, they stabbed 19-year-old Chiara Marino through the heart as a "virgin sacrifice," then bludgeoned her boyfriend,

Utica, New York may seem like just another upstate city, but its past is steeped in darkness. From the ghostly apparitions said to haunt the grand Stanley Theater, to the lingering spirits of Hotel Utica, where the apparition of a man in a tuxedo still roams, the city is no stranger to restless souls. And towering over it all is Old Main, the former New York State Lunatic Asylum, infamous for its use of the dreaded Utica Crib and the suffering within its walls. Utica is more than a city... it’s a
