The Anesthesiologist Who Died With a Needle in Her Arm

The Anesthesiologist Who Died With a Needle in Her Arm

An armed police officer's footprints stretch for a mile and a half across a dark field, each step impossibly longer than the last, until they vanish at a cornfield. Eighteen hours later, he was found twelve miles away, uniform dry, with only burn marks on his feet. What happened in those missing hours?

In this episode, we delve into the unexplained case of a police corporal on a routine patrol in rural Argentina who encountered something that defied all rational explanation. This story explores the unsettling events of a night that left a man with inexplicable injuries and no memory of what transpired.
