Episode 204: The Lost Colony of Roanoke Feat. Graveyard Tales *IS LIVE*!
Image 01: The Lost Colony of Roanoke is one of the most famous and highly debated unsolved mysteries.
Image 02: When the original Roanoke settlers were dropped off, they had not anticipated staying through the winter without additional provisions. Their temporary fort did not protect the settlers from the elements and they had no means of agriculture. Any possible resupply ship was stuck in England due to conflict with the Spanish.
Image 03-06: The Roanoke settlers depended on the neighboring Algonquin tribe to provide food. The Algonquin had a thriving village and employed seasonal hunting/fishing/farming tactics to keep the community fed year round; However, as the Algonquin began to fall sick, tensions rose between the settlers and their neighbors. Images drawn by John White.
Image 07: The settlers ransacked a nearby village and placed a chief’s head on a stick as a warning. In retaliation, a settler named George Howe was struck by 16 arrows and beaten with a club.
Image 08: When John White finally returned to Roanoke, three years had passed. The settlement was completely destroyed and the only clue as to the whereabouts of the settlers was a tree carving suggesting a local island called Croatoan.
Image 09: Throughout the 1930s, several stones dubbed “The Dare Stones” were discovered. These stones, allegedly signed by one of the Roanoke settlers, detailed the
whereabouts of the new Roanoke settlement and spoke of attacks by local tribes.
Image 10: In May of 2012, new evidence on
Walter Raleigh’s “Virginea Pars” map suggests a hidden fort which could be where the Roanoke settlement moved. The hidden fort is written in invisible ink and can only be viewed with special lighting. What do you guys think? Did the settlers get turned into trees? Was this story required reading in your history book at school?

Episode 202: The Mayhem Murder, A Black Metal Conspiracy *IS LIVE*!
Image 01: At the forefront of the Norwegian black metal scene was “Mayhem”, a band which became famous for their demonic sound and live displays of violence and gore. Pictured here: Front man “Dead” (left) and founder/guitarist “Euronymous” (right) in their signature co**se paint.
Image 02: Euronymous founded Mayhem under his own label with himself as the front man.
Image 03-04: In an attempt to secure himself a role in Mayhem, “Morbid” front man Dead sent a letter requesting consideration as lead singer. The handwritten letter included his blood stains and a crucified rat atop an upside down cross. Dead was said to sniff decaying animal carcasses before performances and cut himself live on stage.
Image 05: In April of 1991, Dead’s co**se was discovered by Euronymous with a shotgun wound to the head. Euronymous allegedly sent photo postcards of the death scene out to other black metal bands along with pieces of Dead’s cranium to be used as amulets. Pieces of Dead’s skull can be occasionally found online for sale (pictured).
Image 06: The bootleg “Dawn of the Black Hearts” Mayhem album features cover art of Dead’s co**se.
Image 07: Mayhem’s new bassist, “Burzum” founder Varg Vikernes, aimed to bring attention to the black metal scene by publicly burning Christian churches in Norway.
Image 08: By 1996, over 50 churches in Norway had been attacked, all publicly believed to be associated with the black metal crowd. The cover of Burzum’s “Aske” (ashes) album features the destroyed Fantoft Stave Church of Norway.
Image 09: To avoid criminal association with the black metal scene, Euronymous shut down his black metal label and record shop. Varg denounced Euronymous’s decision.
Image 10: In August of 1993, Varg stabbed Euronymous to death with a pocket knife and served 21 years in prison for his crime. In light of the situation and cultural implications of the 80s/90s “Satanic Panic”, public opinion of whether or not something darker lingered within the Mayhem lyrics has always been hotly debated. What do you guys think? Is the murder regular haunted or is it hAuNtEd?

WHO’S READY FOR A WONDERFULLY WHIMSICAL MONTH OF LGH CONTENT?? Here’s your November episode schedule! We’re starting off strong with The Backrooms, let’s see what else is in store for you this autumn month 🦊 🍂 🍄‍🟫 👻

06/11/2024

Welcome to the photo dump for “Episode 201: The Backrooms”! Have you ever heard of The Backrooms? The Backrooms are widely considered to be the most popular and prolific internet urban legend in existence. The Backrooms are often depicted as an endless series of empty, yellow-lit rooms with old, stained carpet, fluorescent lights, and monotonous, beige walls. These rooms are said to feel like a surreal or dreamlike version of an ordinary office or storage space, giving an unsettling and otherworldly impression. People end up in The Backrooms by accidentally “no-clipping” out of reality, a concept borrowed from video game jargon, where one passes through boundaries in a game. In the Backrooms mythos, this happens unintentionally, leaving individuals stranded in this strange, featureless space.
