Every week Twisted Two's dives into a pair of uniquely terrifying true stories that are worthy of a more in depth look.#1 Lost Cosmonauts April 12, 1961, on this day, Yuri Gagarin became the first person to successfully head into space. However, despite Yuri's success, conspiracy theorists believe he wasn't the first one sent there by the Soviet Union. They say that there have been several other "Lost Cosmonauts" whose journey's didn't end well, and that their deaths have since been covered up. The theory of the Lost Cosmonauts began shortly after Yuri famously made it back safely from orbit. Unlike NASA, the launchings done by the Soviet Union were run by the military, hence, stories of secrecy and possibilities of a cover-up were rampant. So Is there any proof of this at all? For starters the Soviet Union was proud of trumpeting its wins all over the world, but were also notorious for shrouding and airbrushing "failures" from their records. One example of this is the Nedelin Catastrophe where more than 150 people died when an R-16 ballistic missile exploded at a launchpad. The records were swept from history and it wasn't until the collapse of the Soviet Union that the incident ever came to light. #2 Bardstown MurdersRegarded as a "place where neighbors still borrow cups of sugar," Bardstown is a small town located just south of Louisville, Kentucky. The town contains just 16,000 people and was once hailed as being the "Most Beautiful Small Town in America." But despite the proclamation, Bardstown also carries a dark and sinister truth. The town was in dissaray when four deaths and a missing person happened between 2013 & 2015 and It all started with the ambush killing of Police Officer Jason Ellis. In 2013 Jason was heading home from work when he stopped at Exit 34 to remove branches blocking the road. He stepped out of his vehicle, bent to pick up the debris and when he stood up, he was shot dead on the spot. When officers investigated the crime scene, they discovered that apparently the debris was placed there intentionally and the shooter waited in hiding for whoever was going to move it. Jason suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the arms, torso and face.Support the show Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
