Coincidences of the Erdington Murders
On this episode of Expanded Perspectives Elite the guys start the show off by talking about an unprecedented new surgery, in which researchers implanted wireless devices in the patients’ brains that recorded their brain activity. The technology allowed the brain to communicate with the legs—by passing the broken spinal cord pathways—so that the patient could once again regain control. Then, Airbus has joined the chorus of tech titans calling for flying cars with Project Vahana, an autonomous Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) vehicle. Since they don’t need a runway to take-off, VTOLs are more like helicopters than flying cars — but they can work as taxis all the same. Project Vahana director Zach Lovering says the Airbus VTOL will be a single passenger all-electric aircraft that’ll be ready for production a short four years away in 2020.
Then, During the 1600s, Puritans in New England spotted more than just witches flying through the skies. Hundreds of years before Area 51 and Project Blue Book, Massachusetts Bay Colony founder John Winthrop detailed instances of unidentified flying objects in the heavens above seventeenth-century Boston in the first recorded UFO sightings in America. Then, Cam brings up an interesting story of a woman who came upon an out of place time traveler from another dimension. Not only did the young woman look like she was from an earlier time, but she was very small in stature.
After the break Cam brings up the eerie coincidences of the Erdington Murders. Erdington is a quaint suburb of Birmingham, England that dates back to the 9th century. The old English community has undoubtedly seen its share of history, evolving from a rural village to a popular midway point for those traveling between Chester and London in the 18th and 19th centuries. Yet there’s a dark chapter to Erdington’s history that continues to haunt its residents—the unsolved murders of two young women with details too similar to ignore, right down to the date of their grisly deaths. But the creepiest part? The similar incidents happened 157 years apart.
