The Mike “Madman” Marcum Case In 1995, Mike Marcum became known after appearing on the radio show Coast to Coast AM, where he claimed he was trying to build a time machine at home. He used high voltage, transformers, and something similar to a Jacob’s ladder. According to Mike, during the first tests, small objects supposedly disappeared for a few seconds and then came back. But the obsession got out of control. To build a larger version of the machine, Mike stole transformers from an electric company in Missouri. The experiment ended up causing a local power outage, caught the attention of the police, and he was arrested. Coast to Coast AM itself records that he stole six transformers to use in a “time machine.” After that, Mike returned to the radio saying he was building a new machine, this time using parts he had obtained legally. He claimed he had already sent objects, and even small animals, through the device — and that the next test would be on himself. Then came the part that turned the case into a legend. Mike disappeared from public attention for years, and many people began saying he had actually managed to travel through time. Years later, in 2015, he reappeared in a new interview with Art Bell and told an even stranger version of the story: according to him, the machine had worked, and he woke up near Fairfield, Ohio, about 800 miles away and two years in the future, with no memory of what had happened. But there’s one important detail: there’s no proof that he actually traveled through time. There’s also no official record confirming that he was ever reported missing by Missouri police. So the Mike “Madman” Marcum case remains caught between two versions: to some, he was just a man obsessed with electricity and time travel. To others, he may have been one of the most mysterious people to ever try to prove that the impossible was real. #horror #scary #cases #analoghorror #wojack - @simulando_fatos
