Oddities of New England Part 3: The Borden Murders

Strangeology

Show Notes

In the Summer of 1892, wealthy business owner, Andrew Borden and his wife, Abby were murdered in their home in cold blood - hacked to death by an axe. The primary suspect became their youngest daughter, Lizzie Borden. Although affluent in Fall River, MA, the Borden family went through its fair share of tragedy and dysfunction, all leading up to this point. After a year of investigation, being jailed, indicted and put on trial, all of the evidence pointed towards Lizzie being the perp, but to everyones shock, she was found innocent. So, who was Lizzie Borden, and how and why did this all happen? And more importantly, did she get away with murder?

Hey All! I'm still alive! Life has been a whirlwind the past couple months and I've unfortunately not had the time I need to get my next few episodes recorded. I have had time to make some short form content for social media most weeks, so if you're missing the show, check out the social links below on your preferred platform. We're planning to be back ASAP with new podcast episodes and companion youtube videos for them. With your support in sharing the show, or becoming a member on my patreon, or buying some merch you can help my family and I out a ton.

What if the ancient Sumerians weren't writing mythology - but recording something that actually happened? In this deep dive edition of the show, we go way beyond the YouTube episode to explore the Anunnaki, the Nephilim, the Book of Enoch's fallen Watchers, and the global flood narratives that echo across every continent. We dig into the genetic anomalies hiding in human DNA that science still can't fully explain, mysterious stone ruins in South Africa that nobody has properly explored, and elongated skulls turning up in places they shouldn't be. Something happened to our species - and the deeper you look, the stranger it gets.

In this edition of the Strangeology Podcast, we dive deep into one of the most chilling conspiracy legends of the 20th century: the alleged 1943 naval experiment that supposedly made United States naval vessel vanish, teleport, and possibly tear open the fabric of time itself. This is the story of the Philadelphia Experiment. From whispers of secret military technology and electromagnetic invisibility to the bizarre claims of a man claiming to have been there, and wound up jumping through time, to the nightmare stories of sailors fused to steel. This is a story where science, paranoia, and the impossible collide. Was it all a hoax, a misunderstanding, or evidence that something truly unnatural happened in the waters near the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard?

In this deep-dive episode of Strangeology, we break down the original 1966–1967 Mothman sightings in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. From the red glowing eyes near the TNT Area to the terrifying car chase at 100 mph, we follow the timeline of events leading up to the tragic collapse of the Silver Bridge. Along the way: UFO sightings, Men in Black encounters, Indrid Cold, and the psychological and paranormal theories that still divide researchers. Was Mothman a misidentified owl? Mass hysteria? A harbinger of disaster? Or something far stranger? Nearly 60 years later, the Mothman mystery remains one of the most compelling unsolved cases in American folklore — and the deeper you look, the darker it gets.
