It was the deadliest string of shark attacks the world has ever seen. In 2011, sharks in Réunion, a beautiful island, way out in the Indian Ocean started biting people way more than ever before and with lunatic violence. The epidemic forced local surfers, politicians, and business owners into a proxy war with ocean lovers and conservationists worldwide, where long simmering tensions boiled over. Réunion: Shark Attacks in Paradise is the story of what happened on this beautiful island, and t ...

Welcome to episode 3, season 5 of the I Want to Believe podcast!
At precisely 9:14 PM on November 22nd 1987… Chicago area residents were the unwitting spectators of a mysterious television broadcast.
Before we jump into the episode, we wanted to provide the I Want to Believe social media & email links.
My brand-new book, We Only Come Out at Night, is now available for purchase. This book is a collection of short horror stories and can be found online at: SlevikStore.Company.Site and at the Green Hand Bookshop.
While viewers of WGN-TV were watching the 9 o’clock news, all seemed normal as Dan Roan, a local sportscaster, was going over the highlights of the Bears' victory over the Detroit Lions. Without warning, the TV signal flickered in and out… and then televisions went dark.
In WGN’s control room, technicians looked on, confused at what was happening. It was from their studio, located at Bradley Place in the north of the city, that the network broadcasted its microwave transmission to an antenna at the top of the 100-story John Hancock tower, seven miles away, and then out to tens of thousands of viewers. After a moment, the studio crew realized that their signal had been hijacked.
Viewers then saw a suited figure fade in from the darkness. The stranger danced around while wearing a ghoulish rubbery mask with sunglasses and a frozen grin. Chris Knittel of Vice wrote, “Static hissed through the signal; behind him, a slab of corrugated metal spun hypnotically. This was not part of the regularly scheduled broadcast.”
