  • Were we wrong about Houdini's death? Plus a missing body, the George Lucas museum and a new species of cat

    Were we wrong about Houdini's death? Plus a missing body, the George Lucas museum and a new species of cat
    2026/09/25
    Fall started this week, and we’re starting things off with some rather chilling reports today. First, we’ll hear about a woman who realized the woman in her mother’s casket was a stranger. After that, we’ll listen in to a researcher who claims that Harry Houdini didn’t die the way we all think he did. Then things get a bit lighter -- we’ll hear about the new George Lucas museum and the much-longer than 12 parsecs journey to establish it, and the first new species of cat discovered in more than a century. Featuring audio from the Dana & Parks Show out of KMBZ in Kansas City, Paranormal 360 out of WCCO News and Talk in the Twin Cities, KNX News in Los Angeles, WBBM Newsradio in Chicago, KCBS Radio in the Bay Area and WTIC in Hartford.
