History

Guglielmo Marconi invented radio, led Mussolini's secret UFO retrieval program, refused to hand over a death ray, and then suddenly died. Forty-five years later, scientists at the company carrying his name started dying too. I don't think the name was just branding.

114 years ago the Moore family came home from church in Villisca, Iowa and went to bed for the last time. By the time the sun came up on June 10th, 1912, eight people were dead. Joe and Sarah Moore. Their four children: Herman, 11; Katherine, 10; Arthur, 7; and Paul, 5. And two little girls who had been invited for a sleepover. Lena Stillinger, 11, and her younger sister Ina May, 8. All of them killed with an axe in the dark. All of them still in their beds.

After we published The Ground Underneath, the messages started coming in. Readers who had been quietly sitting with the same questions. Listeners who had made connections we had not yet made in print. One of those questions came up more than once: what about Chris Bledsoe? What about the Cape Fear River? Does the geological framework we built around nuclear weapons facilities and data centers apply to one of the most corroborated UAP experience cases in American history?

The science is documented. The weapon is confirmed in US government possession. The injury profiles match across independent cases spanning seventy years. This is what the evidence actually shows.

Three of us are heading to Franklin, North Carolina, tucked into the southwestern corner of the state, deep inside the Nantahala National Forest, where the gorge walls are so steep and the ridgelines so high that sunlight does not fully reach. Join us as we record an episode under the stars, in the woods, at a cabin, the way horror stories were always meant to be told. Around a fire. In the dark. In a place where the land itself has something to say, & Franklin, North Carolin

When we published part one, the documented pattern covered four military facilities across three states. As of this article, the same pattern covers those four military facilities, twelve major commercial data center clusters across nine states, and one of the most researched anomalous locations in American history. Every single one sits on a rift zone.

Every major nuclear weapons and aerospace intelligence facility in the United States sits on top of a geological rift system. And one private ranch sits at the exact midpoint between two of them.

There is a particular kind of fear that lives in the body long after the mind has tried to reason it away. It is not the abstract fear of something that might happen. It is the residue of something that already did. For those of us who sat in the small wooden desks of Catholic school classrooms in the latter half of the twentieth century, that fear often has a very specific shape. It wears a black or white habit. It holds a ruler. And it answers to Sister.

There is a specific kind of frustration that horror fans know well. A show comes out, it is genuinely excellent, critics love it, and then nothing happens. No cultural moment. No discourse. No season renewal conversation that gets loud enough to matter. It just quietly exists on a streaming platform while the algorithm pushes something louder in front of it. That is exactly what happened to THEM: The Scare, the second season of Amazon Prime Video's horror anthology THEM: The

In 1956, a research organization called Aviation Studies International published a declassified Air Force report surveying electrogravitic propulsion programs at fourteen major U.S. aerospace contractors. The report called it one of the most significant areas of aerospace development at the time of writing. In 1957, the public record stopped. No papers. No patents. No published null results. No concluded program documentation. No official explanation.

Fear and Wine's two-part series will investigate UAP field effects, electrogravitic propulsion, classified research, and what is happening right now while the monitors are being removed.

Some horror shows want to scare you. Them, the anthology series created by Little Marvin and executive produced by Lena Waithe, wants to do something harder than that. It wants to make you reckon with history, not as a distant, comfortable abstraction, but as something alive and still active in the present. Across two seasons on Amazon Prime Video, Them builds a portrait of generational trauma that is as haunting as anything in the genre because the demons are not invented. T

A Fear & Wine Research Division Investigation There's a particular kind of dread that comes not from monsters, but from absence. Not what's in the dark — but what just left it. On February 27, 2026, at 10:38 in the morning, an anonymous X account called @TMBSPACESHIPS made its final post. Twenty-two minutes later, a retired two-star Air Force general named William Neil McCasland left his home in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and walked out into a cold February morning without his

We host a podcast called Fear & Wine. We do horror culture and wine pairings. That is our lane. Except that about six weeks ago, I fell into a rabbit hole about a missing Air Force general and an anonymous X account posting antigravity physics, and I have not been the same since. We released a 3-part investigative series called Limitations on Nature covering General William Neil McCasland — MIT PhD, former Commander of the Air Force Research Laboratory, the man who ran Americ

What Is @TMBSPACESHIPS? The Cryptic X Account Tied to UAP Research If you've spent any time in UAP research circles online, you may have encountered the account. Strange posts. Fragmented syntax. Content that reads like it's written for an audience that already knows what it's referencing. The X account @TMBSPACESHIPS has been a subject of serious scrutiny among UAP investigators — not because of sensationalism, but because when you actually analyze what it posts, patterns em

In the rapidly shifting landscape of UAP disclosure, certain names appear repeatedly — not in sensational headlines, but in the careful, sourced reporting of journalists and researchers who have spent years building this case. William Neil McCasland is one of those names. Who Is William Neil McCasland? William Neil McCasland is a retired United States Air Force Major General. His military career spanned decades and placed him in leadership roles that intersected directly with

What if the most terrifying thing in a horror story isn't the monster, it's the history? That's the central question driving two of the most important horror TV series in recent memory: Lovecraft Country and Them. Both shows use the language of genre horror, supernatural threats, creeping dread, visceral violence, to excavate real historical atrocities that mainstream culture has long tried to bury. At the heart of Lovecraft Country is an event that almost didn't survive Ame

"Lovecraft Country," the gripping HBO series, masterfully intertwines horror & history, shedding light on the racial injustices of America's past. By weaving real historical events & figures into its narrative, the show offers a poignant commentary on the struggles faced by African Americans. Let's explore some of the key historical references The Tulsa Race Massacre One of the most harrowing historical events depicted in the series is the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921. This tr
