In March 2001, 11-year-old Bethany Leanne Markowski vanished without a trace during a scheduled visit with her father. He claims she walked into the Jackson, Tennessee mall — and then she was simply gone. No witnesses. No confirmed sightings. No answers. Now, more than two decades later, Missing In Hush Town returns for a powerful second season to re-examine Bethany’s case with fresh ears and renewed urgency. Working alongside Bethany’s family, retired and current law enforcement, journalists, and those who have never stopped searching, this season digs deep into the events leading up to her disappearance, the early investigative missteps, and the haunting question that still hangs over Hush Town: Where is Bethany Markowski? Join us as we trace Bethany’s story, amplify the voices of those who love and miss her, and uncover new perspectives that may help bring her home.

TW: sexual assault, murder, extreme violence In September of 1978, 15 year old Mary Vincent was hitchhiking in California. She would accept a ride from a man in a blue van by the name of Lawrence Singleton. Little did Mary know, Singleton was a monster. Mary's life would be forever changed. This is an unbelievable and inspiring case of survival, but also of other lives that were senselessly lost due to insufficient California laws against sexual predators. This is the story of the survival of Mary Vincent and the murder of Roxanne Hayes. ------ WAYS TO SUPPORT & CONNECT: Join the Patreon for perks and ad free episodes!

a conversational episode discussing the paranormal, Adam's podcast, and what we're watching and reading this October

On April 11, 2005, a 56 year old man named Wu Shan left his townhome in the Gushan District of Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Over the past few months, the Wu Family had been very reclusive. Nobody had seen Shan leave his household in over a month, so neighbors took notice. Shan Wu then approached a neighbor. He was dirty, disheveled, and he appeared emaciated. He said just a few words to the neighbor: call an ambulance. What the neighbor and police would discover would shock the country and the world and go onto inspire the 2022 movie “Incantation.” This is the story of the Wu Family. ------- Merch link: https://www.bonfire.com/store/perplexity-mystery-podcast/?srsltid=AfmBOor6jObuW4_jmnFoT3ibyFfIxBL1hI50LlthjheMTo6emgBneRcQ Get 15% off your Comfrt order today! https://www.comfrt.com/KAYDRA48805 ------ WAYS TO SUPPORT & CONNECT: Join the Patreon for perks and ad free episodes!

Today, we’re opening the vault of the unwanted, the uncanny, and the utterly cursed. From a box that plagued multiple owners with nightmares and faulty technology, to a chest that killed multiple recipients, these cursed objects carry with them the weight of tragedy—and the promise of terror. So pour yourself a drink, dim the lights, and join me... if you dare. Because for today’s episode, we’re peeling back the cobwebs and stepping into the shadowed world of cursed objects—where once you touch them, they never really let you go. Today’s episode is all about the legends of the dybbuk box and the conjured chest. ------- Merch link: https://www.bonfire.com/store/perplexity-mystery-podcast/?srsltid=AfmBOor6jObuW4_jmnFoT3ibyFfIxBL1hI50LlthjheMTo6emgBneRcQ Get 15% off your Comfrt order today! https://www.comfrt.com/KAYDRA48805 ------ WAYS TO SUPPORT & CONNECT: Join the Patreon for perks and ad free episodes!

Kaydra brings her sister back on the pod to discuss one of the most famous hauntings and iconic murder mysteries of all time. On November 13, 1974, Ronald DeFeo Jr. murdered his parents and four siblings in their beds with a rifle at 112 Ocean Avenue on Long Island. DeFeo would claim he was driven by supernatural forces. The following year, The Lutz would move in, making horrifying claims of the supernatural and fleeing after inhabiting the house for just under a month. Finally, Ed and Lorraine Warren would investigate the home along with many other paranormal groups, claiming demonic and paranormal activity.  So is this place actually haunted? Or is it all a hoax? This is the story of the Amityville Horror house. ------- Merch link: https://www.bonfire.com/store/perplexity-mystery-podcast/?srsltid=AfmBOor6jObuW4_jmnFoT3ibyFfIxBL1hI50LlthjheMTo6emgBneRcQ Special thanks to Charlie Leopold for editing this episode!  Get 15% off your Comfrt order today! https://www.comfrt.com/KAYDRA48805 ------ WAYS TO SUPPORT & CONNECT: Join the Patreon for perks and ad free episodes!

In this conversational episode, Kaydra is joined by Steven Ray Morris (See Jurassic Right, Ologies, My Favorite Murder, Purrcast). Today we will be stepping back—way back—into a world that’s as mysterious as it is mind-blowing. For over 160 million years, enormous creatures roamed the Earth, living, thriving, and disappearing long before humans ever did. The story of these prehistoric giants is far more complex—and fascinating—than the fossils in a museum case might suggest. From towering predators to gentle giants, these creatures spark both scientific curiosity and wild imagination. So… How did they grow so massive? What colors flashed across their scales and feathers? And, of course, what truly brought their reign to an end? Buckle up, and be listening for any rumbling footsteps because today’s episode is all about dinosaurs!

In 1994, a 13 year old boy named Nicholas Barclay would vanish from San Antonio, Texas. His disappearance never made the news. As time passed, his family knew the chances of him being alive were incredibly slim. But they were desperate for some type of closure. Over 3 years after Nicholas disappeared, his family would be contacted, saying Nicholas had been found alive in Linares, Spain. But how did he get all the way to Spain? Who had taken him? His family had so many questions. And when Nicholas stepped off the plane and was back in America… something felt off. He looked different. Sounded different. And the truth, once uncovered, would shock Nicholas’s family and the world. This is the perplexing story of the disappearance of Nicholas Barclay.

In the north eastern United States, there is a mountain range that is millions of years old and stretches for thousands of miles. For centuries, people who have walked these rolling hills have reported dark happenings, inexplicable phenomena, things that prowled the peaks searching for souls. These woods are strangled in fog. The pines lean in too close, their roots rising like ribs from the earth. And if you dare venture through, you might hear a soft humming. A hum older than blood, older than time. But don’t go searching for the source, don’t you dare. People say these mountains keep what wanders too deep. Today’s episode is all about history, legends, and encounters in the Appalachian mountains.

Today we will be discussing a creature that has managed to stay relevant since the beginning of time. A creature that continues to engage, terrify, and perplex people all around the world. We see them in books, television, and endless folklore stories. Scale-covered titans with emerald eyes, beasts of fable flame, guardians in the mist. With wings unfurled, they ride the sun, their shadows cast across the hills.To some they are mythical, to others they are a symbol of power, rage, intelligence. Eternal keepers of the right, who soar where mortals dare not roam. Today’s episode is all about dragons. Special thanks to Charlie Leopold for editing this week's episode.

Today we will be exploring one of the most famous mysteries of all time. On January 25, 1959, a group of 10 Russian students, all experienced hikers, would head to Mount Otorten in the northern Ural Mountains of Russia for a 16 day exploration. The trip had been organized by the hiking team of the Ural Polytechnic Institute and they were sent out on an approved route. 1 hiker would return early due to illness, but the other 9 would continue on their voyage. Just over 1 week into their excursion, the 9 hikers would die mysteriously. This mystery has led to countless theories ranging from the supernatural to foul play and government cover up. This is the perplexing story of the Dyatlov Pass Incident.

In late January 2013, there was an eerie sight in the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico in Bradenton, FL: an unmanned vessel, floating in silence. The boat was out of gas, the anchor was missing, and so was the driver. Where the driver of the boat had gone, and what happened to him still remains a mystery today. No facts, no answers, just theories. A father, a husband, a teacher, a man who had so much more life to live. This is the story of the disappearance and unsolved death of Patrick Mullins. If you have information on the death of Patrick Mullins, please contact the Manatee County Sheriff's Office at (941) 747-3011.
