I've badly broken my arm and im in a brace for another 2 months. At the moment I can do very little as the pain is horrible.
I would love some rabbit holes to get lost in. I love....cant think of the name....argh conspiracy theories! And also spooky things too. But anything would be good please just to take my mind off this!

a bit of local lore to where I grew up - read the Wikipedia page for Mary Toft … gives whole new meaning to the term “rabbit hole” 🤣

The Sandown Clown, very odd. There are loads of YouTube channels discussing whether it was an alien or a local tramp.

Have a look at Larry Stylinson or the ramblings of Benedict Cumberbatch’s fans, the Cumberbitches.

That's really weird, never heard of it!

Listen to Uncanny on Podcasts, very strange/spooky stories but interesting. Hope you feel better soon

Listen to joe marler’s things people do podcast, it is genuinely fascinating and I have learned so much completely useless information

Finland isn't real is a fun one.

delilabell · 04/11/2025 20:32

Oh these look good thank you. Keep them coming please!

I find the podcast You're Dead to Me very diverting. It's funny, educational and the host sets a cracking pace (BBC Sounds).

There was this crazy conspiracy theory a few years ago that the US federal government killed all the birds and replaced them with drones to spy on people.

Came here to say this but couldn’t remember the name. Thank you for posting it as I’m now back down this rabbit hole myself!

I bet there are some useful pointers in The Twyford Code, by Janice Hallett.

Hilda Murrell.

I’ve only just heard about her and it’s quite a rabbit hole to fall into.

Whilst waging its "war on drugs" in the 70s/80s, America's government was simultaneously flooding its own country (see black communities) with crack cocaine to finance war in Nicaragua.

Denver International Airport
Rosslyn Chapel Carvings
The Death in ice valley podcast is a good mystery

Totally agree and any episode Cariad Lloyd is in is very, very funny.

CakeyCat · 04/11/2025 21:48

cunny corner podcast is brilliant, I’m on episode 4.

Becca the Albuquerque Jane Doe.
Bella in the Wych Elm was once mentioned on a thread like this.
The disappearance of Joan Risch has fascinated me for a long time. I recently read a very good book about the case.
These aren’t conspiracy theories but have definitely sent me down rabbit holes.
I’m not sleeping very well at the moment so finding this thread before going to bed wasn’t the best idea 😂 especially the one about the Sandown Clown? Never heard of that one before. Very creepy!
