Unsolved Mysteries

There's an old saying "Dead men tell no tales", but nothing could be further from the truth...

During the long periods of staying at home last year, I have to confess I got hooked on a radio soap opera or two, and I watched several movies and television series. One of these was the Netflix reboot of the long-running television series, Unsolved Mysteries.

If you're not familiar with it, the show uses re-enactments and interviews to retell the circumstances of mysteries that are unsolved. The series covers crimes, tales of lost love, unexplained history and paranormal events, and viewers are encouraged to provide information that might solve the mystery.

The truth is sometimes stranger than fiction, and in the United States alone there are several cases on record in which the police, in finding no clue on which to work, have been led directly to the murderer by a force we call the supernatural. 

So I'm sure you can imagine my excitement, when I discovered in the RUSC archives, shows from the original Unsolved Mysteries radio series, from 1936, starring Stanley Peyton! (pictured above) 

In the radio series, there are little known mysteries of the entire world, unexplained true happenings, the puzzling and weird practices found in voodooism, strange stories of zombies, ghost ships and serial killers. As far as thrillers go, it's fabulously creepy, edge-of-your-seat stuff!

I've begun adding them to RUSC today, starting with the story of Lizzie Borden. It is perhaps the most incredible murder case, which resulted in the perpetrator of the double murder being saved from the gallows by a most extraordinary chain of circumstances...

I hope you'll enjoy listening to this new series on RUSC. 

Happy listening my friends,
