This episode is a listener request! “Buried Alive!” The phrase alone is terrifying, but for Barbara Mackle, this became her reality. In this episode, we will cover her horrific ordeal by sharing her story in some of her own words, giving you a firsthand account of her unimaginable experience. From the kidnapping to the aftermath, this is one you will not forget and it is a local case for us. Thank you, Gary M. for the recommendation! Book mentioned in the episode: 83 Hours Till Dawn by Gene Miller in collaboration with Barbara Jane Mackle - it was the book that went missing thrice and was paid for twice!

TW: violence, kidnapping, claustrophobia, and suicidal ideation

It is safe to say that most have heard of the Bermuda Triangle, but have you heard of the Nevada Triangle? It's an area in America that stretches across part of the Sierra Nevada, where on average 3 planes go missing every month. What about the Michigan Triangle? A ship was found capsized with 11 crew members that just vanished. Or the Dragon’s Triangle? An area south of Tokyo, in the Pacific Ocean, where the events are described as being “paranormal”...We hadn’t heard of these either and decided to dive right into these dangerous and potentially paranormal polygons, plus many more around the world. A lighter episode than most, but just as creepy!

Junko Furuta's case is widely known in Japan and even worldwide. It is one of the worst and most notorious crimes to ever be committed by juveniles in Japan. She endured over a month of brutality and her perpetrators received infuriatingly light sentences. ***TW: Take caution when listening as this episode will contain graphic details of torture.
