  • History’s Most Ironic Deaths

    History’s Most Ironic Deaths
    May 27 2022
    In today’s totally, serious, and not funny podcast, we talk about History’s most ironic, or karmedic deaths. Karmedic, being a new word I just made up, meaning: funny stories filled with karma. Such as the death row inmate that escaped the electric chair only to be accidentally electrocuted to death, or the ancient philosopher that died after being struck by a flying tortoise. These true stories and many more will be broken down in today’s morbid Wormhole. Let’s jump in!

  • Alien Hand Syndrome

    Alien Hand Syndrome
    Apr 21 2022
    Karen Byrne was 27, and she decided she had had enough. For the past 17 years Karen’s life had been ruled by constant epileptic seizures. These seizures prevented Karen from living a normal life. So in 1983, Karen elected to undergo a controversial surgery in which a doctor would cut a section of the brain supposedly responsible for the constant epilepsy and stop them from happening. When Karen awoke post surgery everything appeared to be normal. She was not suffering from any negative side effects from the surgery, and most importantly, the seizures had vanished. Karen was thrilled, she could finally go back to living the normal life she had always wanted; seizure free. However Karen’s “normal life” was about to be turned upside down, and replaced, with a new problem far worse then seizures. Without explanation, Karen’s left hand seemed to have gained a mind of it’s own. This “evil hand” would now rule Karen’s life, and she soon realized she had no control over it. Let’s jump into another Wormhole, where we’ll discuss the real life phenomenon known as Alien Hand Syndrome.

    Dissociative Amnesia
    Apr 12 2022
    Jody Roberts was a 26 year old, up and coming reporter for the News Tribune in Washington, and was making a name for herself as reputable and tough crime reporter in the local area. Then, in the Spring of 1985, Jody disappeared without a trace. Immediately, theories and gossip of her disappearance began spreading. Jody’s family believed foul play; possibly abduction or homicide. Friend’s and co-workers thought she had runaway from the stressors of her life. Although she had a successful career as a reporter, she had difficulty in juggling the many demands of her job and personal life. However, the reality of Jody’s disappearance was far more surprising. After 12 years of searching her family would be notified their daughter had been located alive and well. However she was no longer Jody Roberts, but Jane Dee. Jane was living in Alaska with a new family, and she had no memory of her former life, her family, her friends or her career. Jody, now Jane, had forgotten it all and no one knew why. Let’s jump into another Wormhole, with your host Chris Berry, where we explore dissociative amnesia, it’s history, causes and real life stories.
