Veil of Echoes

Send us Fan MailThe day before his murder, John Price gave his coworkers a chilling warning: if he failed to arrive the following morning, Katherine Knight had killed him.The next day, John never came to work.When police entered his home in Aberdeen, New South Wales, they discovered a crime scene so disturbing that Katherine would become the first woman in Australian history sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.In Episode 73, we examine Katherine Knight’s violent history, the escalating abuse that preceded John’s murder, the warnings he gave before his death, and the horrifying acts that earned her prison papers one final instruction: never to be released.Show notesContent warning: This episode includes discussions of domestic violence, child and animal endangerment, murder, mutilation, and other graphic details. Listener discretion is strongly advised.Katherine Knight’s violence did not begin with the murder of John Price.For decades, the former abattoir worker terrorized romantic partners through assaults, threats, manipulation, and acts of extreme cruelty. By February 2000, John understood that his life and potentially the lives of his children were in danger.On February 28, he sought an apprehended violence order against Katherine. Before leaving work that day, he told his coworkers that if he did not return the following morning, it would be because Katherine had murdered him.His prediction came true.In this episode, Bria, Zach, and Lyndsay explore Katherine’s troubled upbringing without allowing it to excuse her adult choices, her escalating pattern of violence, John’s efforts to protect his children, the evidence discovered inside his home, and the sentence that made Australian legal history.Above all, we remember John Charles Thomas Price as more than the victim of an infamous crime. He was a father of three, a hardworking miner, a friend, and a man who deserved to have his warnings taken seriously.Domestic violence supportIf you are in immediate danger, contact emergency services in your area.United States: National Domestic Violence Hotline Call 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or text START to 88788.Australia: 1800RESPECT Call 1800 737 732 or text 0458 737 732.

Send us Fan MailIn the early 1970s, a group of hunters camping deep in the Sierra Nevada mountains began experiencing something they couldn’t explain.Massive footprints appeared around their campsite. Heavy objects were thrown from the darkness. And at night… something began calling from the forest.Deep vocalizations echoed through the mountains — screams, rhythmic knocking, and what sounded disturbingly like language.Determined to document what they were hearing, hunters Ron Morehead and Al Berry brought recording equipment into the wilderness. What they captured would later become known as The Sierra Sounds — one of the most debated and mysterious recordings in paranormal history.Some researchers believe the recordings may represent communication from an unknown species, often linked to the legend of Sasquatch. Others argue the sounds are an elaborate hoax or misidentified wildlife.More than fifty years later, no one has definitively explained what produced the voices captured on those tapes.In this episode of Veil of Echoes, we examine the origins of the Sierra Sounds, the hunters who recorded them, the scientific analysis of the recordings, and the unsettling question that still lingers today:What was speaking in the darkness of the Sierra Nevada mountains?🎧 This episode includes a short excerpt from the original Sierra Sounds recordings captured by Ron Morehead and Al Berry in the early 1970s.Show NotesIn the early 1970s, hunters Ron Morehead and Al Berry recorded a series of unexplained vocalizations deep in the Sierra Nevada wilderness of California. These recordings — later known as The Sierra Sounds — have been studied by researchers, linguists, and paranormal investigators for decades.Some researchers claim the sounds demonstrate patterns similar to language structure, while skeptics argue they could be human-made or misidentified animal calls.Despite extensive debate, no definitive explanation has been proven.In this episode we explore:• The hunting camp where the recordings were captured • Reports of large footprints and strange nighttime activity • The recording sessions that produced the Sierra Sounds • Linguistic analysis suggesting structured vocal patterns • Theories connecting the sounds to Bigfoot / Sasquatch • Skeptical explanations and ongoing debateMore than half a century later, the mystery remains unsolved.SourcesRon Morehead — Voices in the Wilderness: The Sierra Sounds Morehead, Ron.

Send us Fan MailIn Part Two of our deep dive into the Norwegian black metal scene, we follow the rivalry between Euronymous and Varg Vikernes to its irreversible conclusion.What began as ideology, posturing, and power struggles ended in a quiet Oslo stairwell on August 10, 1993.In this episode, we examine the night of Euronymous’s murder, the disputed claims of self-defense, the role of Snorre Ruch, and the investigation, trial, and sentencing that followed. We also explore how Euronymous was remembered — as a visionary, a provocateur, and a warning — and how myth, indifference, and legacy shaped the scene after his death.This is not a story about shock value or aesthetics. It’s about escalation left unchecked — and the consequences that followed.🗂️ SHOW NOTES🔪 In This Episode:The rivalry between Euronymous and Varg VikernesFinancial disputes and ideological fractures within the black metal sceneThe events of August 10, 1993, in OsloConflicting accounts of intent and self-defenseThe arrest, trial, and sentencing of Varg VikernesHow Euronymous was remembered after his deathWhat survived — and what was lost — after the myth collapsed⚠️ CONTENT WARNINGThis episode contains discussions of graphic violence, murder, and extremist ideology.

Send us Fan MailWhat if the ghost story everyone knows… is the least dangerous part?In this episode of Veil of Echoes, we step inside the Sallie House in Atchison, Kansas — a small, unassuming home with a reputation for extreme and violent paranormal activity.Often described as the haunting of a little girl named “Sallie,” the legend tells of a child who died during surgery at the hands of a desperate doctor. But as the story unfolds, the evidence begins to fracture that narrative.In the early 1990s, Tony and Debra Pickman moved into the home with their newborn son — unaware of its past. What followed was not playful mischief, but a sustained and escalating psychological and physical assault. Scratches appearing in real time. Burns. Voices. Manipulation. A house that seemed to choose a target.As psychics, investigators, and television crews entered the home, the activity only intensified — raising a disturbing question:Was “Sallie” ever a child at all… or was something else hiding behind her name?This is not just a ghost story. It’s a case of control, persuasion, and fear — and a reminder that some places don’t want to be understood.🕯️ SHOW NOTESLocation: Atchison, KansasBuilt between 1867–1871 by Michael FinneyLater home and medical office of Dr. Charles FinneyFocuses on the Pickman family experiences (1990s)Includes accounts from paranormal investigators and television crewsExplores theories of haunting vs. demonic manipulationDiscusses psychological effects of prolonged paranormal exposure⚠️ Content Warning: This episode includes discussions of alleged demonic activity, physical injury, psychological distress, animal harm, and intense paranormal encounters.

Send us Fan MailIn the late 1980s, a small group of young musicians in Norway set out to make music that rejected comfort, safety, and convention.What they created instead was something far more dangerous.In Part One of this two-part series, we trace the origins of the Norwegian black metal band Mayhem — from its early lineup and underground ambitions to the arrival of vocalist Per Yngve Ohlin, known as Dead.We explore how performance slowly turned into belief, how suffering was mistaken for authenticity, and how a record store called Helvete became the center of an emerging ideology.This episode examines grief, mental illness, power, and myth-making — and the tension that began forming between Euronymous and Varg Vikernes long before violence erupted.Part One ends where the fault lines form.Part Two begins when everything collapses.⚠️ CONTENT WARNINGThis episode contains discussion of suicide, self-harm, and mental health struggles.
