Every week Twisted Two's dives into a pair of uniquely terrifying true stories that are worthy of a more in depth look.#1 Area 51 In the middle of the Nevada desert lies a dusty road marked by only a chainlink fence, warning signs and it leads directly to the front gate of Area 51. Shrouded in lore and mystery Area 51 has been the subject of speculation for many decades. It’s unclear what exactly the facilities there are used for but many believe it's a site owned and run by the US government to conduct secret and underground experiments. Of course, there are also the alien conspiracies that tie it to the Roswell UFO crash. And others speculate to the possibility that one of its hangars was used to film and fake the moon landings. Whatever it is that’s going on there, there’s no denying that the government doesn’t want anyone to know about it.So how did Area 51 become synonymous with secrecy and alien cover-up? Initially it was used to develop stealth reconnaissance aircrafts in the 1950’s, particularly the U-2. But in order for this to be built, the government needed a secure, desolate area to build a base; hence the area in Nevada was chosen. #2 Mary CelesteOn December 5, 1872, a British ship named the Dei Gratia DI Grasha spotted an unusual vessel adrift near the Azores. Captain David Morehouse, was surprised that he actually recognized the ship – and it was the Mary Celeste, which had left 8 days before him and crew had set out. The Mary Celeste was bound for Genoa, Italy and should have arrived already so The Captain steered course to offer help knowing something must have gone wrong. He sent a boarding party and discovered that nothing appeared wrong structuraly. Most of the crew's belongings were still in their quarters abut the cargo hold had filled up with about 4 feet of water. All of their rations were left behing including 6 months worth of water and food and barrels of alcohol. However, there were two very unsettling things: first, the only lifeboat on the ship was missing and second, not a single member of the crew could be found. Thus, the legacy of the Mary Celeste had begun. Everything about the Mary Celeste was a mystery and soon word spread about what happened. Rumors and theories soon began to pop up including a mutiny, cargo fumes and even the possibility of an alien abduction.Support the show
