The town appeared abandoned, the church bell tower was missing, and the boys looked through the windows of some buildings and saw disturbing things like decaying pig carcasses. Feeling ill, the boys quickly left and seemed to return back to their normal time when they heard the church bells ringing again. The story wasn't taken seriously at the time, but years later, one of the boys told his account to an author researching paranormal events. The author corroborated some of the details and theorized the boys may have briefly traveled back to the 14th century during the time of the plague, which would explain the abandoned town and their sickness. The incident has been used to support ideas around time travel and Einstein's block universe theory, which states that the past, present, and future all exist concurrently.

In September 1982, 12-year-old Mary Kellerman died after taking Tylenol for a cold. That same day, Adam Janus died after taking Tylenol. His family members also took Tylenol and died. In total, seven people across Chicago died after ingesting the tainted capsules. The police warned people over bullhorns not to take Tylenol. Johnson & Johnson recalled over 30 million bottles and stopped production. They introduced new safety packaging to prevent tampering. The FBI investigated suspects like James Lewis, who sent an extortion letter, and Roger Arnold, who bragged about having cyanide. But they never found the perpetrator. It led to significant changes in packaging and safety seals for all consumable products. The case remains unsolved after 40 years.

But his life ended abruptly under mysterious circumstances. Diesel was born in 1858 in Paris to German parents. As a young man, he studied engineering against his family's wishes. After working on refrigeration systems, Diesel became fascinated with engines and their inefficiency. At the time, steam engines were only about 10% efficient and wasted most of their fuel's energy. However, Diesel's mysterious death has fueled much speculation. In 1913, Diesel was traveling by ship to England to meet with a company interested in producing his engines. But his cabin was found empty in the morning, and his hat and coat were found neatly folded near a railing.

According to him, Burisch was tasked with studying an alien artifact called the Looking Glass, which could allegedly see into the past, present and future. The key to operating it? Mysterious ancient Sumerian cylinder seals that the government had acquired. As Burisch and his colleagues used the Looking Glass, they noticed something startling - all possible future timelines appeared to converge on December 21, 2012. This matched theories about the Mayan calendar predicting the end of the world on that day.

But this is no natural phenomenon - these sandy shorelines are being deliberately stolen in the dead of night by ruthless sand cartels. I recently listened to a podcast that shed light on this disturbing trend, uncovering some shocking revelations in the process. In 2008 at Coral Sands Beach in Jamaica, when locals arrived one morning to find their beloved beach almost completely devoid of sand. All that remained were tire tracks from heavy construction vehicles, indicating that around 500 truckloads of sand had been pilfered overnight.

In the early days of America, alcohol was an integral part of daily life and work. People drank constantly throughout the day, and it was totally normal and accepted to drink on the job. This started to raise concerns among some groups, especially conservative Christian women. They formed temperance movements protesting alcohol consumption, with the famous axe-wielding Carrie Nation leading raids on saloons to destroy liquor supplies. Despite their efforts, most people thought nationwide prohibition would never actually happen.

Become a Patron and Get Early Access to Ad-Free Episodes: https://www.patreon.com/tillnpodcast The Lobster War was an obscure conflict between France and Brazil in the early 1960s. It began when France wanted access to large populations of spiny lobsters off the coast of Mauritania, which had recently gained independence from France. Since France could no longer freely take resources from its former colony, it turned to lobster populations off Brazil's coast instead. This launched a dispute between the two countries over fishing rights that escalated over several years. France repeatedly sent lobster fishing fleets with naval escorts to Brazil's waters, which Brazil saw as aggression. At one point France justified taking lobsters by arguing that since they jump along the seafloor, they should be classified as fish, not shellfish. Brazil rebutted this and eventually the two sides took the dispute to an international tribunal, which ruled in Brazil's favor. However, French ships kept illegally fishing, leading to further tensions. The "war" never turned into outright combat but there were provocative naval exercises on both sides. It remained a Cold War standoff over lobster fishing rights until the United Nations Law of the Sea treaty later resolved such maritime disputes.

Veach was known for making bad inventions and posting hiking videos where he brought minimal provisions. In a YouTube comment, he claimed there was an M-shaped cave that gave off strange vibrations. This sparked an internet mystery to find the so-called M Cave. Under pressure from his followers, Veach went to search for the cave again but disappeared. His phone was found but no other sign of him. The internet theorized the government or aliens took Veach after he found a secret base. Months later his girlfriend revealed he likely went to the desert to take his own life due to depression. She believes he made up the cave story for views. But conspiracy theorists refuse to believe her and think there's more to the story. Overall it's a sad tale of a struggling YouTuber who got caught up in internet fame and disappeared under mysterious circumstances.

Originally from Ireland, Baptiste moved to Salt Lake City where he got a job as a gravedigger. In 1862, he was caught robbing the grave of a notorious outlaw and exiled to a deserted island in the Great Salt Lake. The island owners would check on him every few weeks. After finding one of their cows slaughtered, they realized Baptiste had escaped, likely by building a makeshift boat. This sparked a massive manhunt, but Baptiste was never found. Some believe he made it to Montana to live as a miner, while others think he drowned in the lake. In 2010, his body was finally located and exhumed.

Brahe was born into a noble family but then kidnapped by his wealthy uncle Jørgen as a child. Jørgen wanted Brahe to become a lawyer but Brahe was fascinated by astronomy. After Jørgen's death, Brahe inherited his wealth and built an elaborate island observatory to pursue his interest in studying the stars and planets. Some quirky anecdotes are shared, like Brahe wearing a prosthetic bronze nose after losing his real one in a duel and befriending an elk he found in the woods. Brahe made important contributions to understanding planetary motion despite having no telescopes. He trained Johannes Kepler and created detailed astronomical observations that Kepler later used to derive his famous laws of planetary motion. Ultimately Brahe died at just 54 years old due to complications from a bladder infection he got from holding in his urine too long at a royal event.

Tonda decided to take the winnings as an annuity rather than a lump sum. Her co-workers sued her saying they had a verbal agreement to split any winnings, but Tonda won the case. However, the legal issues and stress led to divorce from her husband. The IRS then said she owed $2 million in gift taxes for giving money to family. After legal fees and splitting the annuity in the divorce, Tonda was only getting around $90k annually and owed the IRS. She got a job as a casino dealer in Biloxi to make ends meet. Her ex-husband kidnapped her to try to get lottery money but she shot him in self-defense. The lottery win ruined Tonda's life through legal troubles and greed from others.

Heemeyer had a history of disputes with local government and businesses, feeling they were corrupt and conspiring against him. After being fined by the city for using an illegal septic tank, Heemeyer decided to get revenge. He reinforced a bulldozer with concrete and steel to make it bulletproof. Inside he installed monitors so he could see outside through bulletproof glass portholes. On June 4th he drove the bulldozer through town, destroying buildings belonging to his enemies - the city hall, newspaper, concrete plant, and others. SWAT teams and police were unable to stop the bulldozer. After over an hour of destruction across town valued at $7 million, Heemeyer drove into a store basement and got stuck. He then took his own life inside the rig. The event was dubbed the "Killdozer Rampage."

Become a Patron and Get Early Access to Ad-Free Episodes: https://www.patreon.com/tillnpodcast This episode of the podcast covers the history of chiropractic care and its founder, D.D. Palmer. It starts by explaining how D.D. Palmer was practicing magnetic healing in the late 1800s but then discovered chiropractic when he adjusted the neck of his janitor, who was deaf and regained some of his hearing. D.D. claimed this was due to fixing misalignments in the spine called subluxations. He soon started a chiropractic practice and school, touting it as a cure-all treatment. However, his son B.J. Palmer wanted it to be more of a business than a medical practice or religion. The two feuded bitterly, with B.J. even allegedly running over D.D. with his car at a parade. After D.D.'s death, B.J. took over the Palmer School of Chiropractic, which still exists today. The podcast discusses the contentious relationship between chiropractors and medical doctors, with the American Medical Association long considering it pseudo-scientific quackery. A lawsuit in the 1990s changed that somewhat, leading the AMA to recognize it can provide pain relief but not treat medical conditions. The hosts admit going to chiropractors themselves but are skeptical of claims it can cure other ailments.
