Who are the MIB? Mysterious figures in suits who use little blue lights to remove your memory after UFO sightings and alien contact? Or are they something more sinister than any blockbuster movie you may have seen or comic-book series you may have read? One thing seems certain, in all of their different incarnations, the Men in Black usually have one main purpose: to muzzle witnesses of any strange paranormal phenomena. Sources:“The Real Men in Black: Evidence, Famous Cases, and True Stories of These Mysterious Men and Their Connection to UFO Phenomena” Nick Redfern“True Stories of the Real Men in Black; Off the Record” Nick RedfernHistory.com: “The UFO Sightings That Launched ‘Men in Black’ Mythology“They Knew Too Much About Flying Saucers.” Gray Barker (1956) <Same Guy who wrote “The Silver Bridge” about Point Pleasant and our favorite unprovable creature the “Mothman”>Project1947.com - Project 1947 - UFO documents -1948 - National Military Establishment Office of Public Information Thoughtcatalog.comhttps://www.facebook.com/DrunkenDarknessPodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/drunkendarkness_podcast/patreon.com/DrunkenDarknesshttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaettd55APJYGf5FZcndldw

So sit back, grab your favorite bourbon and get ready because it’s about to get weird. 

Put on your favorite stew and get ready for a delicious tale. This week Amanda is telling Mitch all about Katherine Knight, her flair for violence, the poor souls who found themselves caught in her twisted grasp, and cannibalism?? We went across the world to find a story so wild, so violent, so weird that its hard to believe it could possibly be true. But here we are, so sit back and enjoy the ride. It’s time to get weird….

We are back with Episode 2: Part 2. Back to the late 90's and early 00's. As Amanda takes this episode by the reins and breaks down the aftermath of the "Robin Hood Hill Murders".  Listen in as she breaks down case files and testimony to one of the craziest and most indecisive murder cases you'll ever hear. From botched investigations to a possible forced confession.   As we've said in the past, this was a tough case that was more serious than we typically think about doing but knew it had to be done.  Take both episodes in then be your own judge to what you think really happen back in 1993, in West Memphis Arkansas 

Episode 2, part 1 takes us to West Memphis Arkansas and nearly 30 years into the past were we explore the gruesome, savage and unjust murders of three 8 year old boys. Known at the time as the "Robin Hood Hill Murders".  Amanda, our gifted "Researchologist",  spent a lot of time when going over this case, making sure to provide accurate and informative details.  While as normal, Mitch researched his drinking options but jokes are kept to a minimum during this episode. We understand the sensitive topic that this episode brings into light and while still trying to follow suit of what our podcast is about, we wanted to show the compassion and support for the victims and families of these crimes. 

What happens when you mix, gruesome murder, conspiracy and mystery with one drunk co-host and one beautiful "Researchologist"...... You get Episode 1 of your new favorite Podcast. In Episode 1 we uncover the facts surrounding one of the most infamous murders in Los Angeles California's history, that of Elizabeth Short, better known as the Black Dahlia. So kick back and lets get weird as we dive deep into this haunting tale of beauty, cover-up and and plenty of confession. 

This is your official welcoming to Drunken Darkness!
