This Week's Weird News 11/21/25

The latest development in the Conjuring House ownership saga, a massive release of Amelia Earhart files by the National Archives, and a driveway stolen from outside a home in Tennessee were among the weird and wondrous stories to cross our desk this week.

The mystery of Amelia Earhart's disappearance was back in the news this past week when the National Archives released a slew of materials concerning the decades-old case. The sizeable document dump came in response to a late-September order from President Trump wherein he called upon his administration to share any and all information concerning the pioneering pilot's doomed flight. While the massive collection of contemporaneous messages, maps, and reports constituted a staggering 4,600 files, the release was met with a collective yawn from Earhart researchers who indicated that the information was already widely available to the public and featured no smoking gun that would point to the aviatrix's ultimate fate.

The uncertain fate of two haunted locations made headlines this past week, beginning with the latest twist in the ongoing 'Conjuring House' ownership saga. Once scheduled to go up for auction on Halloween, the property was thrown into limbo when a then-unnamed investor bought the mortgage in mid-October. This week, that individual was revealed to be YouTuber Elton Castee, who could take possession of the home if the current owner agrees to hand over the deed. Otherwise, the much-desired residence will wind up being scheduled for auction again in the near future. Meanwhile, in Texas, a haunted hospital deemed unsafe for the public was temporarily spared demolition following a city council meeting in which officials agreed to table the vote on the matter to a later date.

The weirdest story of the week came by way of Tennessee, where a realtor hoping to flip a home found her plan disrupted when someone stole the driveway leading up to the residence. Paige Batten was left scratching her head when she received a call from a prospective buyer who inquired about the missing stretch of concrete. Upon visiting the residence, the realtor was astounded to discover the driveway had inexplicably gone missing, seemingly taken away by some construction vehicles that visited the property the previous day. Baffled by the bizarre turn of events, Batten reported the puzzling incident to police in the hopes that the presumably confused crew responsible for the lost concrete would come forward and rectify the situation.
