The Scarecast Files #8: Dr. Herbert Hopkin's Men In Black Encounter
2024/01/03
When you hear the phrase 'Men in Black,' one of the first things that may come to mind for many of you is the famous science fiction movie series starring Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones. But did you know that the comic the movies were based on, Lowell Cunningham's The Men in Black, was itself based on a popular UFO conspiracy? Men in Black, as the name would suggest, are beings that appear, usually in black suits, often after UFO sightings. Many people who believe they have seen Men in Black saw something unusual in the sky moments before. Another widely reported theme involving these beings is the deep feeling of distress the witnesses feel after the sighting.  One such man who feels he had an encounter with one of these 'Men in Black' was Dr. Herbert Hopkins. In early September 1976, as the first hints of fall were coming to Maine, Dr. Hopkins found himself consumed by a case he had consulted on the year prior. For whatever reason, Dr. Hopkins couldn't shake the story from his mind... until one strange visitor forced him to.

The Scarecast Files #7: Disneyland Deaths | Dolly's Dip
2023/12/31
Many urban legends and myths have been created as stories were shared across generations, often morphing and changing between the decades. However, perhaps the far scarier legends are those that are backed up by real-life events. Since the late 80s, rumors have swirled about a ghost that haunts Disneyland's Matterhorn ride. It started with Disneyland staff members who felt an eerie presence around the Matterhorn, some of them even seeing what they thought was a ghost at a particular point on the track known as Dolly's Dip. What was causing these employees, who worked at the supposed 'happiest place on earth,' to consistently feel like there was darkness along the tracks? To answer that question, we need to go back to 1984.  Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thescarecast/?hl=en TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thescarecast?lang=en Go Subscribe to my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@scarecast Buy Merch: https://thescarecast.com/store/ Contact me through email: mike@thescarecast.com for any story requests or inquiries, concerns, or advertising inquiries.

The Scarecast Files #6: Disneyland Deaths | Debbie Gail Stone
2023/12/30
On July 8, 1974, guests at a Disneyland attraction called America Sings, which had six rotation stages showing different acts, were waiting for the next act to start when they heard a bone-chilling scream. Many of the guests thought the scream belonged to the show; however, after one guest noticed what appeared to be a girl stuck in between the ride’s rotating stages, the attraction was immediately put to a stop. Another staff member would discover that the attraction's hostess, 18-year-old Deborah Gail Stone, had been fatally crushed. It's unknown how Deborah ended up in her fatal state. After the tragedy, Disneyland installed safety lights and breakaway walls to ensure such accidents would never happen again. Also, it seemed that Deborah Stone herself wanted to prevent others from meeting the same fate. Before the attraction was permanently closed in 1988, several cast members reported hearing a disembodied female voice telling them: "Be careful."

2023/12/13
Have you ever seen a UFO? It's a question that propels us into the realm of the inexplicable, inviting contemplation of the uncharted territories beyond our understanding. Encounters with Unidentified Flying Objects prompt diverse reactions—skepticism, intrigue, wonder, and sometimes fear. These sightings, often recounted as surreal experiences, challenge our conventional notions of reality.

The Scarecast Files #4: The Man Who Ruined Trick-Or-Treating (Ronald Clark O'Bryan)
2023/11/01
On Halloween night in 1974, in Deer Park, Texas, seemed like any other Halloween night... Ronald Clark O'Bryan, along with his children and several neighbors, embarked on a trick-or-treating adventure. They encountered a darkened house, its porch lights extinguished, but Ronald insisted they knocked on the door for treats. Impatient, the group left after no one answered, but Ronald stayed behind, claiming to have received some expensive Pixy Stix candies. That evening, he allowed his eight-year-old son, Timothy, to have one, which tragically led to the child's vomiting and convulsions. Rushing Timothy to the hospital proved futile, as the young boy passed away within an hour after consuming the candy. Investigators suspected foul play and discovered that the Pixy Stix candy was laced with enough cyanide to end two adult males. Suspicion fell on Ronald, as the homeowner of the house he claimed to get the candy from had a solid alibi, as he worked at the airport. Further investigation revealed Ronald's financial troubles and the multiple life insurance policies he took out on his children that same year. It became evident that he had plotted to poison the candies, framing an innocent stranger to secure a hefty insurance payout. Ronald was ultimately sentenced to death, receiving a lethal injection on March 31, 1984.
