Strange Disappearances, Sleeping Sickness, & The Tunguska Event

Join us on this episode of Weirdest News in History as we dive into some strange and fascinating stories.

First, we head to a remote Scottish island, where three lighthouse keepers at Flannan Isle vanished without a trace. The lamps were still lit, but the men were gone, leaving behind a mystery that’s never been solved.

Then there’s the mysterious Tunguska event in Russia. In 1908, a massive explosion flattened over 80 million trees, yet no impact crater was ever found, and the true cause is still debated today.
We’ll also explore the Lost Colony of Roanoke, where more than 100 settlers disappeared, leaving behind only a single cryptic word carved into wood: “CROATOAN.”

Next is the strange phenomenon known as the Sleeping Sickness, where people around the world fell into deep, prolonged states of sleep, some for years, leaving doctors completely baffled.

Finally, we cover the unusual case of Walter Collins, a missing boy whose return shocked the nation, because the child brought back to his mother wasn’t actually her son, uncovering a disturbing story of deception and corruption.

If that’s weird enough for you, stay tuned for the Weirdest News in History.
