    Many Autopsies, and a few reexaminations later. shark attack was ruled out. So what happened to Michelle Von Emster that fateful day in April of '94?

    Operation Midnight Climax

    Operation Midnight Climax

    I got nothing for a witty title here. Operation Midnight Climax was an off-shoot of sorts of MKUltra, so you know it's got some terrible stuff associated with it. From LSD and other mind-altering drugs, to blackmail and mind control, Midnight Climax had it all when it comes to shady government experiments on its unknowing, and non-consenting public!

Indulgent

Casey has a very deep and engaging voice and any podcast that delves into the sinful nature of sloth has my heart. Highly recommend.

Perfection

I was looking for some lesser known lore and myths to learn about and I found this podcast and Casey has certainly delivered. This is an amazing listen for either at work or your everyday stuff. 10/10 would definitely recommend!

Short but incredibly satisfying

I’m obsessed with unsolved mysteries and true crime, and I always learn something new every episode of Ominous Origins. The topics are always fascinating, and Casey does a great job keeping things interesting and mixing it up. One week he may be talking about alien abductions, the next week he’ll discuss an infamous serial killer, the next week he’ll delve into demonology, and the next week it will be about killer dolls! Casey packs a ton of great information into these really short and easy-to-listen-to episodes. I have a short attention span, and these episodes are easy for anyone to fit into their day without feeling overwhelmed or bored in the slightest. Casey also has the absolute perfect radio voice, and the quality of the cast is tremendous. It’s crystal clear, professionally edited, and well produced. One of my absolute favorites and highly recommended!
