Description: Something lifted out of Horseshoe Lagoon on a north Queensland banana farm in January 1966, and what it left floating on the surface was still there days later when the reporters, the air force, and ufologists arrived to investigate it.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/TullyNestAffairREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2tuf57reFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Something strange happened in 1966 Australia. Lights in the skies, sightings of saucer shaped objects, and the start of what eventually came to be known as crop circles. It’s a mystery that still lingers today, and it appears to be a kind of catalyst for so many similar oddities to follow. (The Tully Nests Affair) *** When you think of the most deadly, man-killing animals in existence, you might think of the big cats, or alligators, or sharks… but don’t be too quick to dismiss birds as dealers of death. (Death-Dealing Fowl) *** It’s one of the world’s most haunted places… it is a ship that you can now book a room in as a hotel. We’ll look at the very haunted Queen Mary. (The Haunted Queen Mary) *** The result of an accidental pregnancy finds out later in life he might be the son of a demon. (Son of the Demon) *** Most every item I bring to you here in Weird Darkness is going to have taken place in history – and most all of them you hear are going to be unnerving, or even horrifying… but there are some particularly macabre moments in history that stand out among the others. Most of which you’ve probably never heard of.
