  • EP8 - 10 Scary Stories from the Colorado Street Bridge | Pasadena, CA

    EP8 - 10 Scary Stories from the Colorado Street Bridge | Pasadena, CA
    Apr 11 2026

    A few weeks ago, I visited the Colorado Street Bridge in Pasadena, California—one of the most haunted locations in Southern California and a place infamous for its long history of incidents and paranormal hauntings. I went there with a couple of friends as part of Joshua Amen’s weekly paranormal scavenger hunt, and being on (and beneath) the bridge immediately brought back all the chilling stories listeners have sent me over the years.

    In this first volume, I share 10 terrifying encounters tied to the Colorado Street Bridge—stories of shadow figures, “ghost jumpers,” faceless apparitions, demonic roars, and things that stalk you from the darkness under the arches. You’ll also hear a quick rundown of the bridge’s past, from its construction in the early 1910s to the 150+ lives believed to have been lost there, and the hauntings people still report today.

  • EP7 - 5 Strange Cases Involving Scientists and Defense Employees

    EP7 - 5 Strange Cases Involving Scientists and Defense Employees
    Apr 4 2026
    In this episode, we follow a chilling pattern that no official agency has ever laid out in one place: a nine‑month window where scientists, analysts, and officers tied to America’s air and space power either vanished or had their lives ended violently, while the official narratives stayed fragmented and strangely incomplete.We start by going much deeper into the disappearance of rocket‑alloy pioneer Monica Jacinto Reza, whose work on the Mondaloy superalloy helped the U.S. break its dependence on Russian RD‑180 rocket engines, and who walked into the Angeles National Forest on a familiar trail in June 2025 and simply never came back. From the scrubbed “green burial” memorial and missing cell‑phone forensics, to a mysterious hiking companion known only as Subject A.Then we move to New Mexico, where Los Alamos employee and DOE advisory board member Melissa Casias returns home in the middle of the day, only for her family to later find both her personal and government LANL phones apparently wiped back to factory state on the very day she vanishes along Route 518.At Wright‑Patterson Air Force Base, we revisit the brutal triple incident involving AFRL project manager Jacob Prichard, finance specialist Jaymee Prichard, and top‑secret‑cleared analyst 1st Lt. Jaime Gustitus — a so‑called “domestic” case that still has no publicly stated motive and is being driven not by local homicide but by Air Force counterintelligence investigators.We also examine the murder of fusion physicist Nuno F.G. Loureiro outside Boston, targeted by a heavily prepared gunman who also carried out a mass shooting at Brown University after years of quiet planning, burner phones, and a pre‑staged storage unit in another state.Finally, we look at the murder of Caltech astrophysicist and NEO Surveyor scientist Carl Grillmair, shot on his rural porch by a man who had already been caught once on the property with an illegal rifle, then inexplicably released under a “dismissed in the interests of justice” gun case only eleven days before the homicide.Across these cases, the same eerie themes keep surfacing: wiped devices at nuclear and space institutions, missing phone data in an era where every step is usually logged, investigations steered by agencies that think in terms of threat surfaces, and a trail of elite technical workers whose deaths are labeled “motive unknown” or treated as isolated anomalies. No one in authority is saying these events are connected — but when you line them up side by side, the pattern that emerges might be too sharp, and too unsettling, to ignore.DISCLOSURE: All information in this episode is based on publicly available sources, open‑source research, and my own analysis. The patterns and connections discussed are speculative and intended for discussion and storytelling purposes only. Nothing in this episode should be interpreted as an accusation of wrongdoing by any individual, agency, or institution, nor as a statement of fact about classified programs or ongoing investigations. Listeners should remember that in many of these cases, official information is limited, and reasonable people can disagree about what the available evidence means.About The Scarecast:The Scarecast pulls you straight into the dark edges of real life.

  • EP6 - The Disappearance of William “Neil” McCasland

    EP6 - The Disappearance of William “Neil” McCasland
    Mar 25 2026

    On February 27, 2026, retired Air Force Major General William “Neil” McCasland walked out of his Albuquerque home and vanished, leaving his phone and glasses behind but taking his gun, wallet, and backpack. Once commander of Wright‑Patterson’s secretive lab and linked to UFO insider Tom DeLonge, McCasland disappeared just days after President Trump ordered the release of UFO and alien files. In this episode, we unravel his classified past, his eerie ties to UFO disclosure, and the leading theories about what really happened to the general who knew too much.
