  • Terrifying & True | The Lead Masks Case: Brazil’s Unsolved UFO Death Mystery

    Terrifying & True | The Lead Masks Case: Brazil’s Unsolved UFO Death Mystery
    Apr 13 2026
    The Lead Masks Case is one of the strangest unsolved mysteries in true crime history: two Brazilian electronics technicians, found dead on a hillside in Niterói, Brazil, wearing homemade lead eye masks, with a cryptic note instructing them to take capsules, await a signal, and use the mask afterward. In this episode of Terrifying & True, we dig into the eerie facts, the failed investigation, the missing cause of death, and the theories that have kept this bizarre case alive for decades—from UFO encounters and occult experiments to poison, fraud, and murder.

    This is the kind of case that feels too strange to be real: raincoats in the brush, missing money, removed watches, a note that reads like a ritual checklist, and no clear answer for what killed Miguel José Viana and Manoel Pereira da Cruz. The deeper you go, the weirder it gets. If you love unsolved mysteries, paranormal true crime, UFO cases, bizarre deaths, Brazilian mysteries, and strange historical cases, this episode is built to pull you all the way in.

    Inside this episode:
    • The 1966 deaths of two technicians on Morro do Vintém
    • The infamous lead masks and the chilling note
    • Capsules, signals, and “protect metals”
    • Witness claims, missing money, and possible companions
    • The autopsy delay that doomed the case
    • Why the official cause of death remains unknown
    • Theories involving UFOs, spiritualism, poison, and homicide

    If you’ve ever been fascinated by cases where the evidence seems to point everywhere and nowhere at once, The Lead Masks Case is an all-timer. It is eerie, unresolved, deeply atmospheric, and still haunting more than half a century later.

    We’re telling that story tonight.

  • Unknown Broadcast | Old-Time Radio Horror Stories of Fate, Ghosts, Mystery, and Justice

    Unknown Broadcast | Old-Time Radio Horror Stories of Fate, Ghosts, Mystery, and Justice
    Apr 12 2026
    Unknown Broadcast slips once more into the Weekly Spooky feed with old-time radio horror stories, classic OTR suspense, vintage radio mystery, ghostly encounters, occult dread, and fatal justice. This week’s transmission moves from a war-haunted tavern to strange magic, from death-shadowed streets to a whispered tale of punishment waiting in the dark.

    🔫 The Bullet — A weary veteran tries to leave the war behind, only to find that memory, guilt, and death may still be waiting for him at the end of the bar. A grim radio suspense tale of trauma, fate, and the one thing that never truly misses.
    🪘 Pollack and the Porroh Man — Skepticism walks into older, darker forces as reason collides with ritual and unseen power. The air turns uncanny, and what begins as doubt drifts toward occult horror and a reckoning with forces that do not care whether you believe in them.
    🕯️ A Passage to Benares — Mystery, death, and the afterlife intertwine in a tale that feels dreamlike and fatal all at once. This one carries that rich classic radio horror mood where every revelation only makes the darkness deeper.
    ⚖️ Justice — The night belongs to The Whistler, and judgment arrives with a smile that sounds almost merciful. Greed, suspicion, and consequence tighten like a noose in a story where justice may come late, but never empty-handed.

    If you love Unknown Broadcast, classic OTR horror stories, old-time radio suspense, vintage mystery podcasts, ghost stories, and eerie audio drama from the shadows of broadcasting history, this episode is waiting for you.
