Skylab, America’s first space station, was the largest spacecraft in history at that point. But six years into Skylab’s orbit, catastrophe loomed, as “unanticipated atmospheric turbulence” began pulling the then-unmanned craft toward earth. The Institute for PsychoEnergetics in Brookline, Massachusetts, a grass-roots, private organization, hatched an ambitious plan. The group hoped to stop Skylab from crashing into the earth by using psychokinesis. Skeptics laughed at the Skylab’s telekinetic hopefuls, but scientists and officials from a wide swath of government agencies were seriously studying the potential of psychokinesis. By the 2000s, those studies ignited into a race to contain what some called the most powerful weapon in the world: Brainwaves. trulyhorror.com/mindbenders

Stepping out of the island’s only gas station, Benke noticed a flyer hanging on the wall, and did a double take. Across the top of the page in large bold type, the flyer read “MISSING” along with a pixelated photo of a small, stark-white cat named Vail. This was not unusual. House cats get out, get lost, and usually don’t get found. Benke’s confusion over this particular flyer stemmed from what was printed just below the photo of the 5-pound Doll Face Persian: “$10,000 REWARD for Vail’s safe return home.” trulyadventure.us/lost-on-su…
