The unsettling connection between Charles Manson and the Beach Boys. The infamous skyjacking of D.B. Cooper. Some well-known 1960s urban legends.
Episode 266 puts a wrap on Spooky Season with a chilling dose of GenX nostalgia.
How did one of the most beloved American bands of the 1960s become connected to one of the most infamous 20th-century names? The story of Charles Manson and The Beach Boys is one of fame-seeking, the counterculture world of Southern California, and what happens when evil is denied what it truly wants. We go through the details in a creepy deep dive.
It is a story so shrouded in mystery that the name of the perpetrator isn't even correct. In 1971, a man calling himself Dan Cooper hijacked an airplane, got his ransom, and parachuted into the desolate, stormy night in the Pacific Northwest. What happened to the man who became better known as D.B. Cooper? Why has this case been so difficult to solve even 55 years later?
Some spooky tales are built to last. In this week's Top 5, we look at some well-known 1960s urban legends. A few of these might sound familiar, as they have been told for generations after. How many of them have you heard of?
There is a terrifying new This Week In History and Time Capsule looking back at the awful poisoning murder of his son by the real-life 'Candy Man' Ronald O'Bryan.
