IN THIS EPISODE: The axe murders of New Orleans took place over a hundred years ago, but \\u201cThe Jazzman Story\\u201d remains one of the greatest mysteries and unsolved murder cases within the annals of American crime. (The Axeman\\u2019s Jazz) *** The investigation of an apparent suicide in 1953 led to an unbelievable theory\\u2026 not only had the victim used LSD years earlier, but it was quite possible it was forced upon him by the Central Intelligence Agency. (The CIA and LSD) *** You don\\u2019t often hear of people being struck and killed by lightning \\u2013 at least not nowadays. But pick up a paper from the early 1900s and you\\u2019d think people were doing it as a hobby. (Death By Electrical Storm) *** January 30th, 1835 was the date of the first attempt at assassinating a sitting U.S. President \\u2013 Andrew Jackson. That fact itself doesn\\u2019t warrant placement in Weird Darkness, seeing as the attempt failed \\u2013 but the story leading up to the attempt, and the attempt itself, certainly earn their place in this episode. (The President and the Madman) *** I\\u2019ll end the episode in the Chamber of Comments, but before that, my last story will the most disturbing one of the episode. Most ghosts are seemingly passive or even benevolent, appearing to scare people only by accident, never by intent. But then there are the stories of violent and angry ghosts \\u2013 spirits that not only bring terror, but also bloodshed and even death by their own ghostly hands. We\\u2019ll look at some famous cases of violent hauntings throughout history. *** (Originally aired November 09, 2020)
