Best of 2024: The Death of Harry Houdini [VIDEO]

In 1901 Montreal, two members of the elite Redpath family were found dead from gunshot wounds in their luxurious mansion. The family’s intense secrecy around the deaths bordered on pathological. This bizarre behavior only intensified a curiosity that persists today about what has become a classic Victorian-era whodunnit.

The Redpath Family Murders

In 1973, eight Americans attempted to summit Aconcagua, the highest mountain in the western and southern hemispheres. Only six returned. Sounds like the notoriously deadly mountain collected two more victims.

Death on Aconcagua

Ned Doheny, the only heir to one of the world's richest oil baron was found shot to death next to his childhood friend and secretary Hugh Plunkett in 1929. Investigators at the time ruled it a murder-suicide. But to this day, the crime is a source of rumor and speculation. Was it a muder-suicide or just made to look that way? Or was it tied to a bigger scandal involving millions of dollars, government contracts and bribery of a cabinet member.

The Death of Ned Doheny

On September 4, 1985, a British tabloid published a story attributing dozens of fires to a painting of a crying boy that had been mass produced in the 50s. After each fire, nothing survived but the painting, unscathed. Was the painting cursed by the spirit of the crying boy, or was it a hoax?

Curse of the Crying Boy

In 1969, the Manson Family disrupted the “Summer of Love” when they murdered multiple people across a two-night span in Los Angeles. After Charles Manson and his followers were caught later that year, one of the strangest and most highly-publicized trials in American history followed. This is the story most people know. But some believe the Manson Family may have at least one more victim…the man who was defending one of their own.

The Mysterious Death of the Manson Family Lawyer

In 1897, locals of Aurora, Texas reported a UFO had crashed in their town. They supposedly discovered the body of an extraterrestrial, buried it in the cemetery, and never spoke of it again.

I Fought the Law: The Death of Bobby Fuller

An alternative-history conspiracy theory has been taking root on YouTube and Reddit forums. It alleges that a long-enduring, advanced society called Tartaria built much of our perennial architecture worldwide. After a catastrophic mudslide took out most Tartarian citizens, the theory goes, their remaining buildings are now being systematically dismantled to suppress the truth about their origin. How much of this theory is true? And why is it gaining traction right now?
