A mummified three-fingered hand with eight-inch fingers came out of a tunnel behind a stone door in the Peruvian desert, and the doctors in Cusco who X-rayed it found real bone and skin.

https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yckufranFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Could it possibly be true that the three-fingered mummies found in Peru, eventually deemed to be a hoax, are in fact real extraterrestrial bodies? New evidence seems to say so! (The Mysterious Three-Fingered Mummies of Peru – Alien or Hoax?) *** In the early morning hours of August 5, 1962, Marilyn Monroe was found dead inside her Los Angeles home of an apparent drug overdose — but suspicions of foul play have persisted ever since. (The Mysterious Death of Marilyn Monroe) *** Within the span of about 80 years two terrifying beasts emerged to haunt the imaginations of two European communities. From the werewolf of Ansbach to the mysterious Beast of Gévaudan, these creatures blurred the line between reality and legend, leaving a trail of death bodies, and people who even hundreds of years later in these areas are still frightened to go out after dark. (Two European Werewolves) *** The Hellfire Club, a secret society from the 1700s, provided a space for high-standing individuals to indulge in intellectual pursuits and social activities without judgment… but it also became infamous for its rumored hedonistic behaviors and dark rituals, though its true purpose and activities remain shrouded in mystery even today – making the rumors about it all the more tantalizing. (The Secret World of the Hellfire Club) *** In 2003, Christine Paolilla shocked her Texas community by going from a bullied high school student to a convicted killer. It’s a tragic story of friendship, love, drugs, violence, and murder. (From Miss Irresistible to Mrs Murderer) *** Oakville, Washington, a small town with fewer than 1,000 residents, experienced an unusual event in the summer of 1994. On August 7th, clear gelatinous blobs fell from the sky, soon followed by a mysterious illness affecting the townspeople. Despite various theories, from jellyfish particles to star jelly, the true nature of the Oakville Blobs remains a mystery, leaving the town and the rest of the world without clear answers. (What Were The Oakville Blobs?)

This episode of Weird Darkness covers the three-fingered mummies of Peru, the death of Marilyn Monroe, two European werewolf scares, a Texas quadruple murder, the Hellfire Club, and the Oakville Blobs.
It opens with a mummified hand with three eight-inch fingers, found in a tunnel behind a stone door in southern Peru; physicians in Cusco X-rayed it for Brien Foerster and found real bone and skin. DNA tests in 2018 called the Nazca mummies human, but a later study of one named Maria found an elongated skull with no sign of deliberate shaping and feet with only three toes.
