EP 44: D.B COOPER MYSTERY - THE HIJACKER WHO DISAPPEARED WITHOUT A TRACE AND STILL HAUNTS AMERICA

Hello Spooky Kooks!This week's episode we're diving into the D.B Cooper mystery. This is an infamous case that remains unsolved despite the FBI chasing suspects through decades. On Thanksgiving Eve 1971, a man calling himself D.B Cooper hijacked a Boeing 727, secured a $200,000 ransom and parachuted into the night - Never to be seen again. No body was ever found, there have been no confirmed sightings and for many, no closure to the case. Decades have passed and theories have mounted as high as the suspect lists and all we have is a trail of clues that refuse to add up. We go through the socioeconomic climate in the pacific north west at the time to see if that could hint at a motive, we explore airport security in 1971 and how this made the perfect stage for hijackers, we explore the timeline of what happened that day, breakdown the most compelling suspects, evidence and theories, and bring up the unanswered questions that haunt both official investigators and amateur sleuths. Was Cooper a criminal mastermind, a desperate man with nothing to lose or simply a man who had all his ducks in a row and that night the stars perfectly aligned for him.

EP 41: THE DISAPPEARANCE OF NANCY GUTHRIE - WHAT DO WE REALLY KNOW SO FAR

Hello Spooky Kooks!Join us for this week's episode breaking down the recent abduction of 84 year old Nancy Guthrie. On January 31st 2026, Nancy joined her family for dinner and games before she was dropped back to her house. On February 1st, the next morning, Nancy was due to go to her friends house to watch a virtual church service but never arrives. Her family are contacted who then call 911 and police attend her home to do a welfare check, but Nancy is not there, and chillingly, captured on her security camera is footage of a masked man, suggesting where ever she is, she did not go on her own accord. Days turned into weeks and weeks into months, yet we still do not have answers to what happened to Nancy. Police whilst investigating, will only give limited information to the public causing speculation and theories to run wild online and spread like wildfire often blurring the line between fact and fiction. In this episode we go over the known confirmed timeline from law enforcement before we look at some of the common theories to see if there's any weight to them. As this is an ongoing recent case, our thoughts are with Nancy's family, friends and community. We also want to remain optimistic that Nancy is safe and well although statistically it is not looking good. Whatever the outcome, we hope that her family receive the answers they are desperately searching for.

EP 40: VANISHED IN THE BENNINGTON TRIANGLE - THE MYSTERY NO ONE CAN EXPLAIN

HELLO SPOOKY KOOKSHere we are at Episode 40, can you believe it? Neither can we! — forty deep dives into the strange, the eerie, and the unexplained. Wild, right? Yet here we are, heading straight into one of New England’s most unsettling mysteries: the Bennington Triangle.Tucked into the dense wilderness around Glastenbury Mountain, the Bennington Triangle is a place where the forest is older than the towns that surround it — a place where sound seems to fade too quickly, where the light thins beneath the trees, and where people have vanished without leaving so much as a footprint behind. It also sits along the Appalachian Trail, adding another layer of intrigue to a landscape already steeped in folklore and unease.Between 1945 and 1950, this quiet corner of Vermont became the centre of a baffling series of disappearances. First came Middie Rivers, an experienced woodsman who knew the terrain better than anyone. Then Paula Welden, a college student whose case sparked one of the largest searches in state history. James Tedford vanished next — a man who boarded a bus and simply never arrived at his destination. Paul Jepson, a young boy, disappeared while under the briefest supervision. And finally Frieda Langer, whose case remains the most perplexing of all.Each disappearance unfolded under circumstances that defied logic. No clear tracks. No reliable sightings. No evidence strong enough to point investigators in any direction. Just a growing sense that something in those woods was beyond ordinary explanation.In this episode, we break down each case, trace the timelines, and explore the theories — from the grounded to the uncanny. We look at the land itself, the legends that cling to it, and the unsettling patterns that have kept the Bennington Triangle one of America’s most enduring mysteries.Remember to comment your thoughts or theories below as we love to hear them all and please do give us a follow if you want to see more Spooky and Kooky content.
