- Up All Night: Irish Glory Holes | 349
This week we head over the pond to uncover the buzz surrounding a peculiar hole at Ireland's famed Portmarnock beach. Was it a cryptic meteorite crash site as claimed by a fervent local astronomy buff, or is there a more terrestrial and perhaps cheeky explanation? Prepare for twists, turns, and a bit of Irish wit as we delve deep into the heart of this sandy conundrum. Don't let this episode "beach" you by; it promises a tide of laughter, intrigue, and a touch of the unexpected. Listen now and let the conspiracy unravel!

Original Description:
The horror continues in Blurry Photober with a mega episode about the Barnabet axe murders. Flora is joined by authors Alan Gauthreaux and Dr. Daryl Hippensteel as well as numerous Louisianans to explore the ghastly tale of the Barnabet axe murders. Southwestern Louisiana was terrorized in 1911-12 by brutal axe murders. One young woman was pinned with not only perpetrating them, but possibly masterminding more. Hoodoo and Voodoo were found to be involved, which the media picked up at the time and ran with. Hear the shocking story and how it ended, told via news articles and criminal justice perspectives. And make sure to head to Alan’s YouTube channel for much more content and grab Alan and Daryl’s books! Just remember, for this episode of Blurry Photos, content is very graphic. Listener discretion is advised.

Join us as we diving headfirst into a double shot of unadulterated strangeness. In our first stop we jet-set to the surreal world of commercial aviation, where an unexpected in-flight reptilian revelation left a woman demanding immediate removal from the plane. The woman insisted that her fellow passenger was an undercover reptilian humanoid, causing a flight disruption of truly extraterrestrial proportions. Was it a genuine encounter with a shape-shifting humanoid, or just a case of pre-flight jitters gone wildly out of hand? Or, more than likely, just a hoax!
Then we voyage to the chilly depths of Scotland's Loch Ness, where recently, a gaggle of gobsmacked tourists claim to have spotted none other than Nessie herself, surfacing from the murk to say hello! Was it the legendary Loch Ness Monster making a personal appearance or just a haggis having a swim? We're on the case, leaving no stone unturned or flipper-print uninvestigated.

Buckle up and clasp on your spectral seatbelts as we cruise on the SS Hysteria this week! We're embarking on an otherworldly journey across the goosebump-infused waters of the Venetian Lagoon to dock at Poveglia Island, the top-ranking spook-fest on the global haunted chart!
Brace yourself as we delve into narratives of histories so terrifying, they make a haunted house look like a tea party. Encounter mentally unstable medical professionals and phantoms who've forgotten how to use the exit door. Poveglia's got a macabre menu that includes everything from mass graves of those lost to the plague, to asylums so eerie they'll send shivers shimmying up your spine. Plus, Conspiracy Bot is here and that is terrifying enough!
Are these specters the result of too much spicy Italian food before bed, or are they ethereal inhabitants who've decided to turn their temporary stay into a long-term lease? Grab your EVP recorder and your bravest pair of underpants and join us as we probe the spectral assertions clouding this malevolent mound of mayhem.
