Labor Day weekend, 1977. On a nearly empty campus at Trenton State College, now The College of New Jersey, a campus officer spots a green bicycle outside the locked Kendall Hall theater. Inside, on the main stage beside a piano, is 25-year-old pianist and grad student Sigrid Stevenson.

- The case: a locked building, no murder weapon, no forced entry, and almost no footprints. Nearly 50 years later, no one has ever been charged.

- Who she was: a musician from Livermore, California, studying to become a teacher.

- The investigation: campus police, the cast of a play staged the night before, an unidentified man she argued with, and DNA that came decades later.

- The lore: reports of piano music, footsteps and slamming doors that turned Kendall Hall into TCNJ's most famous haunting.

- The theory: an alien angle with no evidence behind it, for fun only.

If you have any information about this case, contact the Mercer County Homicide Task Force at (609) 989-6406.

Pentyrch, near Cardiff. Night of 26–27 February 2016.

Witnesses described a huge craft over the fields, red lights in the air, jets and helicopters, explosions, shaken houses, and wreckage talk in the woods. Official plate: RAF Exercise Chameleon — low-flying military, a NOTAM, no mystery. Caz Clarke and others said that was not what they saw.

Spotter planes for days. A green object chased. Red ovals stacked like a pyramid. White suits in a field after. FOI paper that confirms an exercise and does not close the file.

UFO hunt, botched drill, or something the Ministry already had a name for?

Japanese cryptids. Japanese folklore. Yokai. And a documented Japanese true crime that is still an unsolved mystery.

**Tsuchinoko** — the bottle-thick “mallet child” snake. Higashishirakawa’s May hunt drew about 800 people in 2024, 2025, and 2026. The prize is now about ¥1.34 million. Still unclaimed. Documented hunt. Not a captured animal.

**Kappa** — yokai river-child. Folklore: drowning danger, water in the dish on its head. Toriyama Sekien’s 1776 illustrated yokai books helped lock the look. The cute mascot is later media.

**The Blue Blanket Murders (Ao-getto)** — documented crime, not a yokai. Night of February 11, 1906, Mikuni, Fukui (now Sakai City). A man hidden under a blue blanket lured Kaga Murayoshi, his mother Kiku, and his wife Tsuo into a blizzard. Two bodies from the river. Murayoshi never found. Statute of limitations 1921. Still unsolved.

Conspiracy Kitchen: Josh and Joe. Japanese folklore, Japanese cryptids, yokai, and the official story that doesn’t sit right. Follow for the next plate.

A stone on a sand road in the New Jersey Pine Barrens says four people are under it: Sibbel Shaler and three unnamed infants. Date on the rock: April 2, 1785. No cause of death. No autopsy. Locals still call it the Indian graves.

Josh and Joe treat it like a cold case. What’s actually carved on the stone. Why the massacre story doesn’t sit in the records. Why 1778 Chestnut Neck has the blood and 1785 has the marker. Whether anyone is even buried there. Then the second file on the same road — the girl, the Kruker, the “satanic church,” the chases, and the Jersey Devil next door in Galloway.

Four names. Zero lab. The official story never opened the ground.

In this episode of Conspiracy Kitchen, we dig into one of the most fascinating objects ever pulled from an Egyptian tomb — the iron dagger buried with King Tutankhamun.

Science confirmed it: the blade isn’t from Earth. High nickel content, cobalt ratios, and a preserved Widmanstätten pattern prove the metal came from a meteorite. The Egyptians even had a name for it — “iron of the sky.”

But here’s where it gets interesting. How did a Bronze Age culture without iron smelting know exactly how to forge sky metal at low temperatures so the cosmic structure survived? Why was it placed against the boy king’s thigh like a sacred object? And why did so many people connected to the tomb’s opening start dying shortly after?

We break down the hard science, the “iron of the sky” hieroglyphs, the possible Mitanni gift trail, the curse deaths, and the growing case that this wasn’t just a lucky meteorite find… it was something more.

Grab a plate. Tonight we’re serving extraterrestrial iron, ancient knowledge that shouldn’t exist, and the question nobody in mainstream Egyptology wants to answer.

Was King Tut buried with a weapon from the stars — or a gift from whoever sent it?

What’s going on guys… welcome back to the Conspiracy Kitchen, where we dig into the cases that don’t sit right.

Tonight we’re joined by Gregg Owen — former rock musician who opened for legends like The Doors and Janis Joplin, turned Chicago murder prosecutor, and author of the true crime book Convergence.

In 1976, a young couple was stabbed to death in a Gold Coast apartment. The killer was identified fast. There was a confession. There was an eyewitness. It should have been open-and-shut.

Instead, the case nearly vanished. Evidence disappeared. Powerful people intervened. The system looked the other way.

Gregg was one of the two young prosecutors who refused to let it die. He takes us inside the investigation, the corrupt 26th & California courthouse, the fight to force the case to trial, and what it was really like working murder cases during the era that led to Operation Greylord.

This is a story about buried evidence, bought justice, and what happens when the people meant to prosecute a double murder try to make it disappear.

If you love cases where the official story feels incomplete, this one’s for you.

Gregg Owen joins us in the Kitchen.

George Washington – the man who survived war, revolution, and the birth of a nation – died after just 21 agonizing hours from a sore throat. Or did he?

In this deep-dive episode of Conspiracy Kitchen, we examine the shocking final hours: aggressive bloodletting that drained nearly 40% of his blood, painful blistering with Spanish fly, suspicious molasses gargles, and a young doctor’s ignored call for a

tracheotomy. Was it primitive medicine… or a calculated inside job by those closest to him?

We explore Tobias Lear’s mysterious role and missing papers, political rivalries with Jefferson, the doctors’ possible motives, and how the official story may hide a quiet assassination. Stoic to the end, Washington’s last words were “’Tis well.” But was it?

Tune in for the full timeline, historical evidence, and wild theories that will make you question everything you thought you knew about America’s Founding Father.

What really killed Washington? Hit play and decide for yourself.
