Murder In Mandan Feature film director Brian James O'Connell came across the case of a North Dakota man arrested for the brutal killing of four people in 2019, and became so intrigued that he traveled to North Dakota to attend part of the trial. On this episode of A Study Of Strange, Brian shares details of the bizarre case that shocked the city of Mandan, ND. The alleged killer, Chad Isaak, professed during his trial that he was not the murderer, but all of the evidence pointed directly to Isaak. Evidence that includes security camera footage of a man with a distinct walk, just like Isaak's, the discovery of the murder weapons, blood on and in his truck, and more. What makes this case even more strange is that there appears to be no motive. No connection with the killer to the victims. Today we attempt to make sense of the senseless, and share recent news related to Chad Isaak. Join Patreon to get access to special content and a free giveaway for the next 50 days! Visit www.as...

What do spies have to do with a murder in a small New Hampshire town in 1918? Maybe nothing or maybe everything. Today we explore the strange murder of Dr. William Dean with guests, actor Tara Perry ("The Fresh Beat Band", "12 Hour Shift", "Ghosts of the Ozarks"), and her husband, filmmaker Jordan Wayne Long ("Ghosts of the Ozarks").  During World War I, there were reports of strange lights in the mountains of Southern New Hampshire. Paranoia was at an all time high and people believed the strange lights were signals to and from German spies, possibly even communicating with U-boats off the Eastern coast of the US. The government was so concerned that they sent agents to investigate the signal lights, which never stopped during the course of the war. Caught up in the midst of what seems like the plot of a spy novel, was a resident of Jaffrey New Hampshire, Dr. William Dean. One quiet night in August of 1918, Dr. Dean ventured towards his barn t...

Special guest Yuri Baranovsky , the writer/producer behind the horror film "The Summoned", joins the podcast "A Study of Strange" to learn about the mysteries and folklore surrounding The Bennington Triangle. This Vermont location is the setting for at least five strange disappearances starting in 1945. No known connections exist between the victims except their location and strange details.   The Bennington Triangle was a name given to the area in 1992 by Vermont author Joseph A Citro. Most accounts briefly mention a history of odd things in Vermont from UFOs, to Bigfoot like cryptids, and curses, but there is never much detail about such legends. Today, on this episode on A Study Of Strange, we attempt to track down those stories and see if they could be connected to the missing persons of The Bennington Triangle.  Thank you for listening!
