We’ve made it to episode 20! And we are back for a fun one! Ready for a detailed account of being taken aboard an alien ship? There is no doubt that the story of Betty and Barney Hill left its mark on the world. It inspired the alien encounters we know today through movies and stories. Did it really happen?! Well, we lab rats think so, but we will leave it up to you! As we always do!

In 1970s Germany, 16 year old Anneliese Michel began exhibiting disturbing symptoms including blackouts, paralysis, swollen hands, blackened eyes and scary visions. After a long visit to the hospital with no relief in symptoms, her parents became convinced their daughter had been possessed by a demon. 
Anneliese would be subjected to 67 exorcisms that would eventually lead to her death at only 23 years old. Kendra will review all the details of this sad case and we will discuss if we think it was true demon possession, undiagnosed health complications or religious fanaticism that went too far. Could her death have been prevented with more medical intervention? We even have audio from the exorcisms to listen to. This case did eventually land the priests and parents in court for neglectful homicide. 
Listen now and decide for yourself what you think of the most documented case of exorcism known to date!

A dark episode but an important discussion! Jessica brings us the unbelievably violent and horrific case of Junko Furuta. Her sadistic perpetrators were four teenage boys. But that was just the beginning. What she endured is beyond anything you can imagine one person being subjected to.
This week, we do not analyze the root cause of why sick people do what they do. Instead, we tell her story to honor her and bring awareness. Her case may be extreme and difficult to listen to, but she is one of the many women and children preyed upon in this world and something must be done. She did not receive justice. She deserves justice. And the millions of those taken whose stories have not been told, deserve our attention.

Andrea Yates made headlines in June 2001 for one of the most unimaginable crimes, drowning her five children, ages 6 months to 7 years old, one by one in her family bathtub. Immediately, from the outside this seems like an unspeakable crime deserving of the harshest punishment possible, including the death penalty.
However, this is a case that truly cannot be judged so quickly. Join Kendra this week in discussion around the circumstances leading up to Andrea’s heinous crime. Get ready for some impassioned discussion around the pressure on women to be perfect mothers, gender roles and expectations within a family, the flawed mental healthcare system in the US and the influence religion can have on vulnerable minds.

What do all these famous tales have in common? Okay, books and movies, yes… but let’s go back in time. Way back. These fairy tales had a dark beginning, but we wouldn’t have them today if it wasn’t for two very ambitious and determined brothers. This week Jessica takes us down the windy path of the Brothers Grimm and reads us a few stories that you won’t see put out by Disney anytime soon.

We are visiting a new country this week on Lucid Lab! Kendra takes you to Russia to investigate one of the most disturbing and prolific serial killers, Mikhail Popkov, otherwise known as The Werewolf of Angarsk. From 1992-2010, he roamed the streets of Siberia looking for women he deemed as unchaste and deserving of punishment. His form of punishment? Pain, suffering, sexual assault, dismemberment and death in the most brutal ways possible. 
 
This case will make you question many things such as who can you really trust? The scariest part of this whole story, Mikhail was a respected cop during the time he committed all of these murders!

Unicorns… Dragons… Mermaids… Ghosts… Angels… Why not Giants?! Did they exist? Chime in this week while we have a fun discussion about giants and the evidence that suggests, why yes, they did exist (maybe they still do!) and ancient texts from all over the world that report the same details. If you believe in dinosaurs, giants aren’t too far off. They are just taller, angrier, and hungrier dudes than we’re used to.

It's our first Lab Reports! We have chosen a very special topic for this inaugural listener stories episode; the ongoing case of Mikayla Jones. We felt this was an important story to bring to our audience as we want to be a voice to help the Jones family get the justice they deserve for their daughter.
 
Mikayla was a beautiful 18 year old girl who died under mysterious circumstances in Washington County Missouri in May 2021. This is a story of small town corruption and how quickly they wanted to write off Mikayla's death as a voluntary drug overdose. Mikayla had zero history of drug usage so anyone who knew her is certain she did not die in this way. 
There are 3 people involved in her death that have not been properly punished and it seems the authorities in the area aren't acting appropriately to investigate this case. Listen now to hear all the details of this ongoing case and help us bring light to this horrible injustice. Let's get some national authorities into Missouri to complete a proper investigation!
