Summary

IN THIS EPISODE: Was the Unidentified Cape Cod Murder Victim an Extra in Jaws? Horror author Joe Hill thinks so. (Murder On The Set of Jaws) *** Of the many mysterious and ominous places on earth, many bodies of water are said to be cursed, haunted, or both. For whatever reason these lakes have drawn about them tales of misfortune, terror, and death, and they continue to elude rational answers. I’ll share some of the strangest. (Cursed Lakes) *** At the dawn of the 20th Century Ambrose Bierce was one of the most famous writers in America. And then he mysteriously vanished. (The Disappearance of Ambrose Bierce) *** Charles Willey experienced hundreds of fires on his property in the summer of 1948 – but how did they start? (The Macomb Firestarter) *** Two men interested in the same woman – all three spending a day together. Not a good plan from the start. Add a bit of alcohol and you just may have a powder keg ready to explode. (Rum, Jealously, and Murder) *** Over the course of just two years, Christopher Duntsch operated on 38 patients in the Dallas area, leaving 31 paralyzed or seriously injured and two of them dead. It’s no wonder he was given the morbid nickname of “Dr. Death”. (Doctor Death) *** A child’s game of hide-and-seek turns to terror. (The House At The Front) *** In the Outback of Queensland, Australia, ghostly orbs of light have been frightening people for centuries. What do we know about the mystery of the orbs and what are some of the theories about what they could be? (The Min Min Orbs) *** Are extraterrestrials secretly watching over us and saving us from our own destruction? (Our Alien Protectors) *** Was the mass suicide at Jim Jones' commune in Guyana in 1978 a CIA mind control experiment? (Welcome to Jonestown)

0:00.0	As you know, I've been working to lose weight for a while, but I love bread, which is pretty much 100% carbs.
0:08.0	One slice of wheat bread is about 12 carbs.
0:10.7	That's 24 carbs if you're making a sandwich and that's just the bread before you put anything
0:15.5	into the sandwich. But I saw an ad online for Hero Bread that claimed zero carbs.
0:21.3	I was skeptical. I tried other Zero-carb breads in the past that were absolutely horrid.
0:27.4	But I clicked and ordered a loaf of their seedbread and their white bread.
0:31.2	Not only did it feel and taste like actual bread, I've gone back to making
0:35.5	sandwiches like I did before my low-carb diet. I can have a grilled cheese without worry.
0:40.6	I make many pizzas by toasting the white bread and using it like pizza crust.
0:45.0	So I went back and found that Hero Bread also has hot dog buns, so I jumped on that.
0:49.7	Again, zero carbs. They have zero-carb hamburger buns, dinner rolls, tortillas, and more, even
0:56.0	croissants. I asked them if I could please work with them and they said yes, so now you can
1:01.9	get Hero Bread by visiting Weird Darkness.com slash Hero.
1:06.0	That's Weird Darkness.com slash Hero.
1:09.0	And if you create a subscription, you can even save 10% on everything you order.
1:13.0	If low-carb is your life right now, try Hero.
1:16.0	Weird Darkness.com slash Hero.
1:20.0	So far on my low-carb journey I've lost over 50 pounds. Everybody is different but it appears
1:26.5	slashing the number of carbs I consume has had the biggest impact for me. And discovering
1:31.9	built bars has made the journey a lot easier by replacing
1:35.7	my high-carb, high-sugar desserts with something it still tastes like a candy bar, but only
1:41.1	has 150 calories, is low-carb, and is packed with protein.
