About Still Unexplained

Still Unexplained is a weekly short-form podcast exploring unresolved mysteries across history, science, true crime, and human experience. Each episode follows one case, examines the evidence, and weighs the competing theories behind what may have happened. Some stories are strange, some tragic, some ancient, some modern, but all share the same problem: the facts never quite add up to one certain answer.

   The Swamp Gas Lie

   In March 1966, colored lights hovered over a marsh behind a women’s dormitory at Hillsdale College in Michigan, the night after a farm family near Dexter reported something glowing in their swamp. When Air Force astronomer J. Allen Hynek blamed swamp gas, the country laughed, the witnesses were furious, and Congressman Gerald Ford demanded a real investigation. The man who said “swamp gas” would spend the rest of his life acting like he’d gotten it wrong. So what was really over that marsh?

   The Witch Killing of Lower Quinton

   On Valentine’s Day 1945, seventy-four-year-old Charles Walton went out to trim hedges on Meon Hill near Lower Quinton, Warwickshire, and never came home. He was found pinned to the earth with his own pitchfork, and the murder of Charles Walton became known as England’s witchcraft killing. Scotland Yard’s most famous detective had a prime suspect, the village had its whispers about toads and black dogs, and the official file tells a very different story than the legend does. Eighty years later, Meon Hill still isn’t talking.

   The Death of Poe

   The death of Edgar Allan Poe is one of American history’s strangest unsolved cases. In October 1849, the author was found delirious outside a Baltimore polling place in clothes that weren’t his, after six days nobody can account for, and he died four days later without ever explaining what happened. Election gangs, a rewritten letter, a hospital doctor whose story kept changing, and a name Poe shouted over and over in his last nights. Nearly two centuries later, the questions are still open.
