What Happened to Netta Fornario? A Chilling Unsolved Mystery | Episode 7

In November of 1929, a woman was found dead on a remote Scottish island, lying on a cross carved into the earth, partially unclothed, with a knife nearby and no clear signs of violence. Her name was Netta Fornario. What should have been a straightforward case of exposure quickly becomes something far more unsettling. In the days leading up to her death, Netta claimed she was under telepathic attack, receiving messages from beyond the veil, and described a haunting vision of a rudderless boat drifting across the sky. She had come to the island of Iona with purpose, she was deeply involved in occult practices, trance work, and what was known as “Green Ray” elemental contact. She wasn’t just interested in the supernatural. She believed she was interacting with it. So what really happened on the moor that night? Was it exposure to the elements, a medical episode, or something far more deliberate? Could it have been murder? A psychic attack? Or did Netta go looking for something on Iona—and find it? In this episode of Odd Things Considered, we break down the life, beliefs, and final hours of Netta Fornario, and explore the theories that continue to surround her death nearly a century later. Because some stories don’t just end… They linger. 🔍 Follow the podcast for more mysterious and strange stories!

A Word in the Trees: The Lost Colony of Roanoke | Episode 4

In 1587, 115 English colonists arrived on Roanoke Island to build the first permanent English settlement in the New World. By the time Governor John White returned just three years later, the colony had vanished without a trace. No bodies. No signs of struggle. Just a single word carved into a tree: CROATOAN. For centuries, historians have puzzled over the fate of the lost colony—did they integrate with local tribes, fall victim to conflict, or meet a more mysterious end? In this episode, we dig into the history, the theories, and the eerie folklore surrounding Roanoke’s disappearance. From the archaeological evidence on Hatteras Island to a chilling pattern of disappearances tied to the word CROATOAN—including a ghost ship, a vanished author, and Edgar Allan Poe’s dying breath—we’ll explore whether this was simply an early colonial tragedy… or the beginning of something much stranger. 🔍 Follow the podcast for more mysterious and strange stories!
