A chilling true crime case from Australia detailing why Max Tancevski AKA "The Rack Man" was strapped to a steel cross and thrown into a river.
When a fishing boat pulled in its net, they expected the usual catch—until they hauled up something far heavier. Tangled in the lines was a body, strapped to a strange metal frame. For decades, no one knew his name, and he was only known by a grim nickname. Today, we uncover the mystery of The Rack Man.

This week we are discussing yet another Australian case. We aren’t totally sure how this happened, but they’ve been really interesting! This case in particular is very disturbing. A man was discovered in the water, crucified. Even after identifying Rack Man as Max Tancevski, the mystery remains. Who was responsible for his fate?
See you Monday!

Unpacking the strange and perhaps unsettling story behind a series of bizarre websites starting with FaceFamous.org.
Since 2020, a strange website has perplexed us. With stolen content and links that connect to other odd corners of the internet, it’s hard to understand just what is going on. Today, we discuss the mysterious website known as FaceFamous.org.
2025-03-10 07:00:07 +0000 UTC View Post
We have been waiting SO LONG to cover Facefamous. In the early days of Red Web, Christian made the research outline and we weren’t sure the topic was worth covering on the main show. Over the years, we decided we had to cover it as a sort of “time capsule” of a website that once intrigued the web. Now it’s finally here!
Enjoy!

The gruesome true story behind the first US court case in which demonic possession was used as a murder defense, the trial of Arne Cheyenne Johnson.
In 1981, a brutal murder shocked a small Connecticut town, but the defense that followed was unlike anything seen in a courtroom before, at least in the United States. A man claimed he was not responsible for the killing because he was possessed and the Devil made him do it. Today, we discuss the chilling Trial of Arne Cheyenne Johnson.

This week, we look into a real case of “the devil made me do it”—the trial of Arne Cheyenne Johnson. This was the first case in the U.S. where lawyers attempted to use demonic possession as a defense. Behind the murder trial that captured national attention lies, of course, a classic possession story. And as you’d expect, the Warrens were involved yet again!

The story behind this landmark extraterrestrial case that led to the popularization of the alien term "little green men," the Kelly-Hopkinsville Encounter.
It was a warm summer’s night in 1955 when the Sutton family witnessed something otherworldly on their property. What began as glowing eyes and small creatures looking into their home quickly escalated into full blown gunfire. News of this event spread rapidly, first popularizing the phrase “little green men”.
