ANNOUNCING: Supernatural is BACK!

Now an audiochuck original, Supernatural is back! Only this time, it's better than ever... it's So Supernatural. After his sudden death in 2011, friends and family of Jack Froese received mysterious emails from his account containing personal messages and information only Jack could have known. Dubbed 'Jack Froese Emails,' these messages sparked speculation about the afterlife, communication from beyond the grave, and the possibility of messages from the other side. Despite attempts to explain the phenomenon through rational means, the mystery of the Jack Froese Emails remains a puzzling enigma, challenging conventional notions of life and death.

The Kidnapping of Barbara Jane Mackle

In the early morning hours of December 17, 1968, two gunmen burst into the Atlanta motel room of Barbara Jane Mackle and her mother, Jane. After tying up and chloroforming Jane Mackle, the two kidnapped Barbara, forcing her into their car at gunpoint. Later that day, a family friend received a call at the Mackle home in Florida, instructing them to look in the northwest corner of the Mackle’s yard, where they would find a ransom note with details about how to ensure their daughter’s safe return. Once the note was unearthed, the Mackle’s learned their daughter had been placed inside a box and buried in the ground in a remote location. She has enough food, water, and air to survive for a few days, but if the family doesn’t act quickly, there’s a good chance Barbara will die The kidnapping of Barbara Jane Mackle was an elaborately planned, well-executed crime that quickly dominated local and national headlines, which was no small feat in a year of major social upheaval. By the 1960s, kidnapping for ransom was a familiar concept, but to be kidnapped and buried alive was a terrifying thought that shook Americans to their core and left everyone wondering, what kind of person could do such a thing?
