Undated Broadcasts Project — Incredible But True Autumn 1950 Arc

Continuing our sequential restoration across the 1950 Mutual and syndicated mystery anthology Incredible But True (91dddf1b-084c-4233-843a-8662d45bc899), hosted and narrated by Ken Nordine, This update resolves an additional 50 sequential daily broadcasts (Episodes 101 through 150).

Airing daily Monday through Friday across syndicated stations between September 4 and November 10, 1950, this autumn sequence explores some of the most haunting and meticulously documented mysteries in recorded history:

  • Spatial Teleportation & Cryptid Trails (Episodes 101–115): Nordine investigates the clinical documentation of Italian brothers Alfredo and Paolo Pansini vanishing from locked hospital wards, giant 22-inch bipedal tracks pressed into Himalayan glacial ice, and French gendarmes tracking paw prints that seamlessly transition into human footsteps outside a locked barn.
  • The Angel of Mons & Battlefield Portents (Episodes 116–135): Accounts include the famed "Angel of Mons," where British soldiers in the trenches of August 1914 witnessed a luminous warrior holding back German infantry lines, the eerie case of Benjamin Bathurst's disappearance mid-stride in 1809, and nineteenth-century dueling shadows that persisted on salon walls long after the combatants had died.
  • Spectral Bells & Spontaneous Flames (Episodes 136–150): Nordine recounts grandfather clocks chiming without pendulums on the birth of distant descendants, the screaming skull of Bettiscomb that shrieked during nocturnal tempests, and a special Halloween broadcast examining coroner reports of spontaneous human combustion across Great Britain.

Reaching 3,291 broadcasts resolved across the master project ledger, each entry features verified daily airdates, standardized mystery taxonomy, and pure narrative synopses.
