TW: Sexual assault, suspicions of murder, missing persons, short mention of abuse of an animal

 
 
Bonjour, Weirdos and welcome to another episode of KEEP IT WEIRD the podcast for all things strange & unusual, conspiratorial & psychological, unsolved & unhinged and EVERYTHING in between.
 
This week we've got some OLD BUSINESS to attend to right off the bat because Ashley has an update from last episode on THE GATEWAY PROJECT!! Turns out... uh...  page 25 has not been missing for a few years now.  So we go over what that page entails and how it may just change the way you view the world forever.
 
Then Lauren takes us into a PARANORMAL PARADISE as we discover you don't need an old dilapidated mansion to live with ghosts-- sometimes apartments can be JUST as scary!  The haunting of Brooklyn's 455A Sackett Street is a strange and terrifying tale of what happens when a place is used for bad deeds for too long....
 
Ashley brings us home with an UNSOLVED MYSTERY and potentially even an unsolved murder, as we learn about a man named Louis Le Prince who disappeared without a trace only DAYS before he was to unveil the world's very first working moving picture machine.  The patent for the machine just so happened to disappear alongside him and a mere 8 months later a very famous inventor announced that HE had invented the world's very first moving picture machine... and boy did it look an awful lot like Le Prince's design......
 
Today's episode is dedicated to a lover of our show, a listener we lost on September 21st, 2023.  Susan Lee Bartlem, Lee to all who knew her well, passed away exactly a year to the DAY that we recorded this episode.  (which was an accident... but there are no accidents.)  Lee was a beloved teacher at Rockhampton Girls Grammar School in Queensland Australia for 23 years and she was a REAL WEIRDO.  Not only did they play Metallica and read Anne Rice at her funeral, but her family even got Keep It Weird tattoos in her honor.  It would have been a thrill to meet Lee in real life, on this astral plane, but she lives on forever in the hearts of her students, her friends and family, and with all of us who call ourselves weirdos with pride.
