Small Town Murder Mystery: Orville Gibson

A dairy farmer is found dead in a small Vermont town, but was it murder...or an elaborate suicide plot to frame his enemies? The mystery surrounding Orville Gibson's death was a world-wide sensation news story at the time, and remains unsolved to this day, with two prevailing theories. Was he lynched by vengeful neighbors, or did he stage his own death to take down the town that scorned him?

Werewolf Serial Killer

Image
Werewolf Serial Killer Spain’s first documented serial killer, Manuel Blanco Romasanta, claimed to have killed his victims while suffering from the curse Lycanthropy. Simply put, he claimed to be a werewolf. Romasanta’s case was bizarre and his trial lasted nearly a year before ultimately being sentenced to death. But that’s neither the beginning nor the end of the tale of “The Werewolf of Allariz.” With special guest R.J. Blake.

The Bloody Benders

  In 1873 it was discovered that a family known as the Benders had been killing travelers along the Osage Mission Trail in Labette County, Kansas. We know surprisingly little about the evil Benders. In fact, they may not have been a family at all. Their heinous acts of violence are still discussed to this day making the Bloody Benders the stuff of legend and folklore.   Special guest John M Keating joins the pod for both episodes of the Bloody Benders!   Learn more about John M Keating: https://johnmkeatingacting.com/   His Movie: https://tubitv.com/movies/670622/the-concessionaires-must-die   Join Patreon for exclusive content  https://www.patreon.com/astudyofstrange   Theme Music by Matt Glass  https://www.glassbrain.com/   Instagram: @astudyofstrange   Website:  www.astudyofstrange.com   Hosted by  Michael May   Email stories, comments, or ideas to astudyofstrange@gmail.com!  ©2022 Convergent Content, LLC...

Months later, their bodies were found near the sight of the crash, but some strange evidence points to them having died somewhere else entirely.  With special guest Brooke Seguin!  https://www.instagram.com/30minutemusicals/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/astudyofstrange Theme Music by Matt Glass https://www.glassbrain.com/ Instagram: @astudyofstrange Website: www.astudyofstrange.com Hosted by Michael May Email stories, comments, or ideas to astudyofstrange@gmail.com ©2022 Convergent Content, LLC  -------------- Links: https://unsolved.com/gallery/arnold-archambeau-ruby-bruguier/ https://www.grunge.com/725658/the-mysterious-deaths-of-arnold-archambeau-and-ruby-bruguier-explained/ ...
