Marc W Shako’s Weird World

Ep 14: The Roswell Incident

The grand daddy of them all! I thought seeing as every major UFO case is somewhere’s Roswell I’d better look at the original!
Did a UFO crash near Roswell, New Mexico in the summer of 1947 or was the excuse for the ages true and the whole thing nothing more than a weather balloon?
There have been a couple of episodes where I thought I knew what was going on but the more I dug, the more I realised there could be more to the story and this is a great example of that! Let's Get Weird!

Ep 13: The Missing 411

For a while now, folks have been going missing in US National Parks under very suspicious circumstances. Is this straightforward or could there be more going on than meets the eye?
David Paulides started digging and found some strange paralels between the cases. He also found more cases than he bargained for and mystery of The Missing 411 was born!
In this episode, I’ll look at some of the strangest cases that will make you scratch your head!

Ep 12: Creepy Ask Reddit Stories

For our final episode in this series, we have some more stories of the paranormal. This time from social media site Reddit where user posed this question:
“A man once said if you want a good story just ask any random person if there was ever an event in their life they can not explain. Someone almost always has one weird thing that has happened to them. So Reddit, regardless of whatever you believe about the world, what’s your story?”
Some of the answers are, well... You’ll see. Are you ready for some creepy stories?

Ep 11: Operation Gladio

2nd August 1980. The waiting room at Bologna train station is packed, but the hundreds of passengers amassed there are about to have their thoughts of travel plans, dinner arrangements and daily worries scattered to the four winds, because in a moment, a huge explosion will rip through the station.
Sadly, it just the latest in a series of attacks that will work in favour of the right-wing leadership, drawing the left-leaning public into the arms and protection of their government. 
A smart-but-cynical government who are using a disaster for political gain, using the old adage of not letting a crisis go to waste? Not quite. It’s much, much worse than that. So bad it’s almost unbelievable. 
This time, it’s Operation Gladio. Let’s Get Weird!

Ep 10: The Shag Harbour UFO

On 4 October 1967 something crashed into the murky waters of Shag Harbour, Nova Scotia. What? According to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police files, a UFO. One of my all time favourite UFO stories, this one has sightings from multiple witnesses (including policemen and pilots), radar evidence and physical evidence. No wonder they call it "Canada's Roswell".

Ep 9: Spontaneous Combustion

We’ve all seen the photographs: a blackened, charred spot in tucked away in the corner of a closed room, everything else around it seemingly untouched, but lurking conspicuously on the fringe of that scorched black patch, a perfectly preserved untouched human limb.
Today we’ll be sifting through the ashes for answers to the age old conundrum: what is spontaneous combustion, from famous cases to some possible explanations. Are you ready? Let’s get weird!

Ep 8: More True Ghost Stories

Back in episode 4 I told you about some real life experiences I’ve had with the paranormal. I also mentioned that as a kid growing up I spent a lot of time at my Nanna’s pub and that place was seriously haunted. I never saw anything there myself… but my family did. These are their stories.

Ep 6: Bizarre UFO Deaths

On our last UFO episode, I said 95% of UFO sightings can be written off as nothing: weather phenomena; misidentified aircraft; mistakenly identified stars or planets. I also said 5% cannot be explained. Within that subset, there’s an even smaller subset of inexplicable deaths. Today, we’ll be looking at 5 times UFO encounters ended in tragedy. This time, it’s Bizarre UFO Deaths. Let’s Get Weird!

Ep 5: Black Eyed Children

One night in 1996, Brian Bethel was sitting in his car about to deposit a cheque when two boys appeared at his window. Instead of exiting his vehicle, Brian stayed in his car because something about the kids unnerved him deeply. It was only when one of the kids moved closer he saw what was wrong. It was a night he’d never forget and the birth of a mysterious new phenomenon. Who or What are the Black-Eyed Children?
