Summary
In the early morning hours of July 31st, 2022, an Ohio business park was rocked by the thunderous crash of a car slamming into a brick wall, taking the lives of two passengers.
Shockingly, the driver, 17-year-old Mackenzie Shirilla, somehow survived.
But as word of the wreck spread like wildfire over social media, people couldn't help but wonder: if it had really just been an accident or whether there’d been something more sinister at play.

| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone, some of you may have noticed we've changed this episode. That's because we've |
| 0:04.7 | been taking our audio from our YouTube videos and putting them on the audio platform. And with |
| 0:09.4 | the latest video, we felt it just didn't translate well to audio. So we pulled one from our Patreon, |
| 0:14.7 | which we just happened to watch a documentary on last night. We're still going to post the |
| 0:18.9 | Brighton Road video on our YouTube, |
| 0:25.5 | but after that, we've decided to take a short break doing the YouTube videos. It's a ton of work, and we're a pretty small team. But here's the good news. We're still going to do |
| 0:29.7 | between the madness episodes, but we're going to stick to audio for now, and hopefully I can |
| 0:34.3 | start doing one every week. So, sorry for the confusion, and thanks for listening. |
| 0:39.4 | Follow the Minds of Madness on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, or wherever you get your podcasts. |
