29 SEP. 2026 · Two of the strangest documented mysteries in history — and what the files actually say.
CASE 1 — THE DEVIL'S FOOTPRINTS (Devon, England, 8–9 February 1855). After a night of snow, hoof-shaped prints appeared over roughly 40 to 100 miles, crossing rooftops, walls and haystacks. Reported in The Times and the Illustrated London News within days.
CASE 2 — THE DYATLOV PASS INCIDENT (Ural Mountains, USSR, 1–2 February 1959). Nine experienced hikers cut their way out of their tent and fled into the storm. All died. The Soviet inquiry closed the case citing a 'compelling natural force'; in 2020 Russian prosecutors named a slab avalanche.

29 SEP. 2026 · Three cases of 'possession' that left a paper trail — a royal commission, a doctor's published report, a criminal trial.
CASE 1 — LOUDUN (France, 1634). Ursuline nuns, a priest named Urbain Grandier, and a trial that ended at the stake.
CASE 2 — WATSEKA (Illinois, 1878). Lurancy Vennum, 13, says she is a dead girl named Mary Roff — and lives with the Roff family for months. Documented by Dr. E. W. Stevens.
CASE 3 — ANNELIESE MICHEL (Klingenberg, Germany, 1976). 67 exorcism sessions; she died at 23 of malnutrition. Her parents and two priests were convicted of negligent homicide in 1978.

28 SEP. 2026 · Three killers. Three cases the police could never close. In each one, the murderer left a signature — an axe, a scrap of paper, a cipher — and no name.
CASE 1 — VILLISCA (Iowa, 10 June 1912). Eight people killed with an axe in their sleep; the mirrors covered, a slab of bacon left by the bed. A minister confessed, then recanted; two juries could not decide.
CASE 2 — THE SOMERTON MAN (Adelaide, 1 December 1948). A well-dressed man dead on a beach, labels cut from his clothes, a torn scrap reading "Tamám Shud" sewn into a hidden pocket. Identified by DNA in 2022 as Carl Webb — the cause of death is still unknown.
CASE 3 — THE ZODIAC (California, 1968–69). Five confirmed murders, four ciphers, letters to the press. The 340-character cipher was cracked in 2020. The name never was.
Which of the three do you think will be solved first? Tell me on YouTube — the full video with reconstructions: https://youtu.be/5H6Qmsjeu-w

The Boy in the Box, the Golden State Killer & Bear Brook — Three Cold Cases Solved by a Cousin's DNA
27 SEP. 2026 · Three cold cases. Three ordinary objects — a car door handle, a steel barrel, a cardboard box — that waited decades to tell the truth. Then one new science asked them a single question: who touched you?
CASE 1 — THE GOLDEN STATE KILLER (California, 1976–2018). Forty years of silence, then detectives swab a car door handle in a craft-store parking lot.
CASE 2 — BEAR BROOK (New Hampshire, 1985–2019). A hunter kicks open a barrel in the woods. Four victims, one man who lived under other people's names.
CASE 3 — THE BOY IN THE BOX (Philadelphia, 1957–2022). A child found in a box stamped "Fragile". It took 65 years, 9 months and 13 days to say his name: Joseph Augustus Zarelli.
Which of the three stays with you? Tell me on YouTube — the full video version with reconstructions is at https://youtu.be/tA9COk0Gy9A
