Disturbing Lost Media Volume II

We’ll be discussing some very bizarre, and rather disturbing, lost media cases. As the name suggests, ‘lost media’ is a term used to describe media that is nonexistent, missing, or unavailable to the public. Media that has either been lost or hidden. Some of these pieces of media are highly unnerving and are honestly better left unseen. That’s exactly why we’ll have Chris take a look at all of them! Go back to Ep. 117 and check out volume I as a precursor to volume II

The Disappearance of Katherine Van Alst

In 1946, 8yr old, Katherine Van Alst went missing from her family’s camp site in Devil’s Den State Park. In an unlikely twist, she was found alive 6 days later…but, get this, she was found 30+ miles away and 600ft higher in elevation than from the location she had gone missing. Search and rescue crews got a lucky break when Katherine calmly emerged from a nearby cave and simply said, “here I am!” That’s just the tip of this very bizarre iceberg. All may not be as it seems in this case.

Thompson Park Vortex

This week we head to Watertown, NY to take a walk in a park. Unfortunately, for us, this is no ordinary park. We’re headed to Watertown’s infamous Thompson Park Interdimensional Vortex. The name pretty much says it all. As the story goes, somewhere in the park, is a supernatural vortex. This vortex is said to transport those who discover it to somewhere else in the park…..or even worse, to another dimension. For these reasons, and many more, it’s known as “Watertown’s Area 51.”   Become a Patron: https://patron.podbean.com/betweenthecrackspodcast   Here's our Magic Mind link: https://www.magicmind.com/JANbetween

British Airways Flight 5390

Bit of a detour for episode 127. The haunted Nashville church will be episode 128. This week we’re headed to the clear blue skies over the UK to discuss one of the most terrifying mishaps in aviation history. You won’t believe this! In 1990, a British Airways flight, headed from the UK to Spain experienced something never seen before. As the aircraft was cruising at 23,000 feet, two of the six cockpit windows suddenly burst apart due to adverse air pressure effects. This led to captain Tim Lancaster being ripped from his seat and sucked out of the window. Luckily, his legs snagged on some of equipment, which gave crew members time to grab him and hold on for dear life. Find out what happens later this week as we discuss the unbelievable events surrounding British Airlines Flight 5390.   Here's our Magic Mind link: https://www.magicmind.com/JANbetween   Use our code: BETWEEN20

Poon Lim

Episode 126: The Remarkable Survival Story of Poon Lim.  This week we discuss the nearly impossible survival story of Poon Lim. On November 23 of 1942, Lin was serving as a steward on the SS Benlomond, a British cargo ship. Unfortunately, a German submarine torpedoed the Benlomond. This sent the vessel and it’s crew into the depths of the south Atlantic. From there, Lin’s story only gets crazier. After two hours in the ocean, he managed to make his way onboard an eight-foot wooden raft. He’d stay on that very raft for 133 days. That was, until he was found by three fishermen off of the coast of Brazil.

Edward Mordrake

Back in the 1800s, a gentleman was born with an abnormal condition. It seems Edward, was born with a face at the back of his head. According to legend, the face could whisper, laugh or cry.

Now the question becomes, was this true or merely an urban legend.
