About this listen
In 1995, a 21-year-old electrical engineering student named Mike Marcum called into Coast to Coast AM with an extraordinary claim: he'd built a device that could make objects travel through time.
He'd thrown a metal screw into an electromagnetic field and watched it vanish for a full second before reappearing several feet away.
Mike's ambition was bold. He wanted to scale up the device, make it big enough for a person to step through, and travel to the future to get winning lottery numbers. But he needed powerful transformers—so he stole six from a local power station, causing a massive blackout. He was arrested and spent 60 days in jail.
After his release, radio listeners sent him parts and money to build a bigger machine. In 1996, Mike announced he was 30 days from completion. Then, in 1997, he vanished.
Tonight on Mysteries at Bedtime, we investigate what really happened to "Madman" Mike Marcum.
