    Podcast Summary

    • Brandon Lawson disappearanceDespite extensive searches, no trace of Brandon Lawson was found after his 911 call mentioning being chased ended abruptly, leaving theories ranging from plausible to supernatural as possible explanations.

      The disappearance of Brandon Lawson on a dark Texas highway in 2013 remains a baffling mystery with numerous theories ranging from plausible to the supernatural. Brandon, a 26-year-old oil field worker, had recently struggled with drug addiction and had an argument with his girlfriend before leaving their home to cool off. He called his brother for help after running out of gas, but the call ended abruptly with Brandon mentioning being in a field and being chased. His truck was later found abandoned with no signs of him. Some theories suggest drug-induced paranoia, foul play, or voluntary disappearance, while others propose more unusual explanations such as alien abduction, interdimensional shift, or skinwalker encounter. Despite extensive searches, no trace of Brandon was ever found. The case continues to intrigue and disturb those who hear his haunting 911 call and ponder the unanswered questions.

    • Disappearances of Brandon Lawson and Asha DegriDespite extensive investigations and numerous theories, no clear answers have emerged in the disappearances of Brandon Lawson and Asha Degri, leaving their families and communities searching for truth and hoping for answers

      The mysterious disappearances of Brandon Lawson and Asha Degri have left their families and communities searching for answers, leading to various theories ranging from the supernatural to government conspiracies. Brandon, last seen in Texas, may have encountered a skinwalker, time slip, or ghost lights, while Asha, who vanished from North Carolina, was spotted on the highway hours before her disappearance. Despite extensive investigations and numerous theories, no clear answers have emerged in both cases. The families and communities remain hopeful and continue their efforts to find the truth.

    • DisappearancesThe unexplained disappearances of Asia McClan and Lars Metank serve as reminders of life's fragility and the importance of seeking answers, with ongoing investigations providing hope for new leads.

      The world continues to be filled with mysteries that capture the public's imagination, such as the disappearance of Asia McClain in North Carolina and Lars Metank in Bulgaria. These cases, which remain unsolved, have left families and communities searching for answers and fueled endless speculation. While some theories may be grounded in real-world explanations, others veer into the realm of the unexplained. Regardless, the disappearance of these individuals serves as a reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of seeking answers. In the case of Asia McClan, the FBI continues to investigate, releasing age-progressed images and hoping for new leads. Lars Metank's disappearance has become one of Europe's most perplexing missing person cases, with no trace of him ever found. The mysteries surrounding their disappearances continue to haunt investigators and captivate the public, leaving us all to wonder what really happened.

    • Unsolved DisappearancesDespite advanced technology and surveillance, unsolved disappearances like those of Lars Mntank and Johnny Gosh remind us of the complexities of human experiences and the limitations of our understanding.

      Even in an age of advanced technology and surveillance, the unexplained can still happen, as evidenced by the unsolved disappearances of Lars Mntank and Johnny Gosh. Both cases have left lasting impacts on their communities and have sparked numerous theories and investigations. Despite extensive efforts, the causes of their disappearances remain a mystery. The cases of Lars and Johnny serve as reminders of the complexities of human experiences and the limitations of our ability to fully understand them. While some may be quick to jump to far-fetched conclusions, it's important to remember that the truth is often more nuanced and complex than we might initially assume. The families and friends of these individuals continue to seek answers, and their stories serve as a reminder of the importance of staying open-minded and persistent in the face of uncertainty.

    • Missing children investigationsThe disappearance of high-profile children in the 1980s led to the creation of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the FBI's missing persons file, but some cases from the early 2000s in Florida remain unsolved despite renewed attention and resources.

      High-profile missing children cases in the 1980s, including Johnny Gosh's disappearance, led to significant changes in how missing persons cases are handled in the US. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children was founded, and the FBI's National Crime Information Center created a missing persons file. However, despite decades of investigation, Johnny's whereabouts remain unknown. In Naples, Florida, in the early 2000s, the disappearances of Felipe Santos and Terence Williams raised suspicions of a deeper, sinister issue. Corporal Stephen Calkins' inconsistent stories and suspicious behavior led investigators to focus on him, but lack of physical evidence left the cases unsolved. The families of Felipe and Terence were left devastated, and their disappearances remain some of Florida's most haunting unsolved mysteries. The cases brought renewed attention and resources through the involvement of filmmaker Tyler Perry and civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump, but justice remained elusive. The passage of time has done little to ease the pain for those left behind.

    • David Glenn Lewis disappearanceSuccessful Texas attorney and former judge, David Glenn Lewis, disappeared in January 1993 and was later identified through DNA evidence in Washington state, leaving investigators baffled by his sudden travel and unfamiliar clothing.

      The disappearance and subsequent identification of David Glenn Lewis in Washington state in 1993 remains one of the most intriguing and perplexing unsolved mysteries in both Texas and Washington state histories. Despite extensive investigations, the circumstances surrounding his disappearance and death continue to baffle investigators and the public. Theories range from voluntary disappearance to foul play, but the truth remains elusive. The case began in January 1993 when David, a successful attorney and former judge in Amarillo, Texas, went missing. His disappearance was discovered when his family returned home to find him missing and his vehicle parked near the Potter County Courthouse. The case took an unexpected turn when, on the same day David went missing, a man wearing military-style fatigues and work boots was killed on a highway in Moxie, Washington. The man was later identified as David Glenn Lewis through eyeglasses and DNA evidence. The mystery deepens as investigators continue to explore why David traveled over 1600 miles in less than 72 hours and why he was wearing unfamiliar clothing. The case remains open and unsolved, leaving many questions unanswered.

    • Maura Murray DisappearanceDespite appearing normal, Maura Murray, a nursing student, disappeared in 2004 leaving her car at an accident scene, with theories ranging from intentional disappearance to abduction or harsh weather conditions.

      The disappearance of Maura Murray, a nursing student from Haverhill, New Hampshire, in 2004, remains a mystery that has captivated the public's imagination. Maura, who grew up in a loving family and excelled in academics and athletics, appeared normal in the days leading up to her disappearance, but there were signs of underlying stress. On February 9, 2004, she emailed her professors about a family emergency and disappeared with her belongings, leaving her car at the scene of an accident. The investigation into her disappearance has been complex and challenging, with theories ranging from her intentionally disappearing to escape pressures or starting a new life under a new identity, to her succumbing to the harsh weather conditions or being abducted by a stranger. Despite extensive searches and media attention, Maura remains missing, and her family continues to hope for closure.

    Listen Now: Hysterical

    Listen Now: Hysterical
    Hysterical investigates a mysterious illness that spreads among a group of high school girls in upstate New York. What is causing their sudden, often violent symptoms? Is there something in the water or inside the school? Or is it “all in their head?” The series examines the outbreak in LeRoy, NY, believed by some to be the most severe case of mass hysteria since the Salem Witch Trials. In his search for answers, Dan Taberski (9/12, Missing Richard Simmons, Running from Cops) explores other seemingly inexplicable events of the last few years – CIA officers being crippled with nausea and vertigo; cops OD'ing from exposure to fentanyl – and discovers they’re far more connected than we realize.   From Wondery and Pineapple Street Studios, this 7-part series forces us to grapple with the mysteries of our own minds, and reckon with a contagion that we thought was long dead, but may be the defining disorder of our time.   Follow Hysterical on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts. You can binge all episodes of Hysterical early and ad-free right now by joining Wondery+ at Wondery.fm/Hysterical_UnexplainedEncounters. Learn more about your ad choices.
