In 1966, two Brazilian men were found dead on Vintém Hill under bizarre circumstances that continue to perplex investigators and conspiracy theorists alike. Lying side by side, their bodies were discovered wearing matching lead masks—shields with no eyeholes—alongside cryptic notes. Were they victims of a cult ritual, a failed experiment, or something even more otherworldly?

Send us a text Being Dead Serious podcast Episode 91: The Strange and Insane Victorian era: Deadly Homes Is now available. Tonight we are again covering our favorite crazy time period.... the Victorian era! But this time its all about their hilariously but horrific dangers that were lurking in their 19th-century homes! Thank you flammable gas lighting (explosions: a feature!), arsenic-laced cleaning products (cleanliness to die for!), and Crinoline dresses (walking fire hazards!) We don't know how we survived without you! We'll also gasp at the vibrant yet deadly arsenic wallpaper, the "festive" tradition of candles on Christmas trees (what could go wrong?!), and the truly bizarre practice of using Lysol for feminine hygiene (no.... seriously...totally a thing...). Join us for a dark but always funny tour of Victorian domestic disasters that will make you appreciate your (relatively) safe modern home! Stay Strange…

Send us a text Being Dead Serious podcast Episode 90: The Gruesome Tale of Fox Hollow Farm Is now available. Tonight we're diving deep into the Fox Hollow Farm murders, a massive murderer case that you've never heard of but completely shocked the state of Indiana and the nation. We'll examine the evidence, the timeline, and the psychological profile of the alleged killer, Herb Baumeister. But beyond the standard true crime fare, we'll also be exploring a truly unique aspect of this case: the surprisingly frequent and detailed accounts from acquaintances and former associates regarding Baumeister's alleged and rather enthusiastic habit of… irrigating his surroundings.... Join us as we try to figure out if this peculiar behavior offered any clues to his dark psyche. Why does anyone really need 10 bathrooms?! Did Herb have a lucky victim OR was he a secret lover? We'll speculate wildly and probably make some uncomfortable jokes about the damp realities of this case. Stay Strange…

One of the strangest love triangles in history involved a wealthy housewife, her oblivious husband, and a secret attic-dwelling lover who lived above them for nearly a decade?

But as you can probably guess, things didn’t stay quiet.... Eventually, jealousy, tension, and bad decisions led to one of the most shocking true crime cases of the 1920s. So grab a friend, possiblya lover or 4...., get comfortable, and join us as we unravel the jaw-dropping, almost unbelievable tale of The Lover in the Attic. Stay Strange…

Send us a text Being Dead Serious podcast Episode 88: The history of St. Patrick is now available. Forget leprechauns and pots of gold, this story is a wild ride of questionable life choices. Tonight we're unpacking the 'true' story, of our favorite drinking saint which includes: a possible kidnapping, nipple sucking to hitch a ride, divine voices and hallucinations, a basement with a demon who apparently makes you a bitch watering down your favorite Guinness and a sheep-to-blanket conversion rate. So, was St. Patrick really the snake wrangler we all adore or perhaps just Ireland's OG Influencer with a sprinkle of tall tales. Prepare for a history lesson that's less "holy icon" and more "holy moly, that's weird!" Stay Strange…

Send us a text Being Dead Serious podcast episode 83: The Grinning Man is now available. In the 1960s, UFO sightings were everywhere, but one encounter really took the cake: Indrid Cold-the Grinning Man. This wasn’t your average flying saucer situation—oh, no. This guy came with a huge grin, telepathic mind-melds, and a backstory so bizarre it could’ve come straight out of a sci-fi novel (or a fever dream). When West Virginia salesman Woodrow Derenberger crossed paths with Indrid, his life was never the same. But was he actually talking to an alien from a peaceful planet, or just a dude who loved attention and bad acid trips? (It was the 60's after all!) Join us as we dive into the wildest details of the Indrid Cold story, its unexpected ties to the Mothman, and the ultimate question: Was this all just one big grin-filled hoax, or is there a sliver of truth to the grinning nightmare of West Virginia? Buckle up—this one’s about to get wild and stupid. Stay Strange…

Send us a text Being Dead Serious podcast Episode 81:The most dangerous woman in America: Typhoid Mary In this episode, we serve up the hot (and germy) tale of Mary Mallon, aka "Typhoid Mary," the cook who put the fever in flavor. Mary didn’t just whip up mouthwatering meals—she also unknowingly spread typhoid fever to dozens of unsuspecting diners. Who knew her secret ingredient wasn’t love but bacteria? We’ll explore how Mary became America’s first known asymptomatic carrier of typhoid, her refusal to believe she was the problem (spoiler: she absolutely was), and the government’s decision to quarantine her—twice! Was she a misunderstood victim, a stubborn rebel, or just the world’s unluckiest cook? Along the way, we’ll learn about the science of typhoid, why public health officials were losing their minds, and what Mary’s story teaches us about personal responsibility (hint: wash your hands, people). Tune in for laughs, germs, and a story so wild you’ll never look at your kitchen the same way again. Stay Strange…

Ever wonder what happens when someone takes DIY to the next level? Well, Gein did, and let’s just say Pinterest wouldn’t approve. We explore his small-town roots, his overbearing mother, and his “unique” approach to home decor—like lampshades that scream “conversation piece.” Literally. We’ll chat about the mystery of how someone becomes a graveyard ghoul, and maybe answer the age-old question: Is it cheaper to make your own furniture or buy it from IKEA? Spoiler: it’s neither when law enforcement gets involved. Join us as we balance morbid curiosity with inappropriate laughter, and try to figure out what it is about Wisconsin that inspires cheese and skin suits. Warning: this episode contains dark humor, questionable mental health diagnoses, and a whole lot of "Wait, he did what?!" Remember, if you’re laughing, you’re coping! Tune in and stay spooky!…
