What happened to Christopher Case?
After returning home from what should have been a regular work trip, a man began to call his friends in a panic, fearing for his life. One week later, police found him deceased. Was this an untimely medical tragedy or an attack of the paranormal? Today, we're discussing the mysterious death of Christopher Case. This is Red Web.
Welcome back, Task Force, to another episode of Red Web, the podcast all about unsolved mysteries, true crime, and the paranormal. I'm your resident mystery enthusiast begging for ghosts to be real, Trevor Collins, and joining me hearing this case for the very first time, Alfredo Diaz.
Talk about a hook. I feel like, you know what I mean? That's a movie hook that we just read off IMDB. Yeah. Because I've got questions. I want to know. And of course, if this was a movie in modern times, the trailer would give everything away from front to back. Of course. That's neither here or there. This is interesting. Someone crying for help and you never think, oh my goodness, this could be something that tragic, which is very unfortunate. I'm sure the people that knew him that the person reached out to God the the amount of possible regret or suffering that they might feel but then also you're talking about a supernatural aspect to it so was this person talking about ghosts because then like
you know what i mean if my friend was if you were trevor you're like oh my god ghost in my house like i'll be there for you but i'm not gonna sit you know i'm not gonna be like oh my god it's gonna get you everything's gonna go south immediately yeah you would be there for me but like not crossing the threshold to my house but you would be there for me on the sidewalk there for you Yeah, you'd be literally out there for me here. I got holy water, different crosses from different religions. You name it, you got it. Salt, all that stuff. A priest hanging out with me. I'm there. I just start sending stuff in.
It's Benny from The Mummy. I mean, that's Alfredo in a nutshell. But yeah, this case is really, really fascinating. But a huge caveat up front, there's not a lot of documentation around this case. A lot of it is hearsay. It's one of those cases that is super, super fascinating. And we dove in, tried to find all the details, but we wanna be very realistic because it is really gripping. The idea that somebody, you know, was this a paranormal attack? Was this some sort of curse? Was this a medical tragedy? Was this somebody dying from fear alone? Those are the angles we're going to be looking at here because this case otherwise is missing. Well, missing answers as far as the Internet is concerned, as far as mystery enthusiasts are concerned.
But as far as the medical world, as far as police are concerned, they have an answer. And so we're going to talk about all of that.
Yeah. I didn't even think about a curse too. Like that could always come into play. You know what I mean? Yeah. There's a lot of drag me to hell vibes in this one. Oh, okay.
Yeah. That kind of played at the back of my mind. Interesting. Um, but info wise, it's a game of telephone. Info-wise, it's a game of telephone. It's from the early 90s, which really shouldn't be all that bad. But we do see that when there is lacking documentation at the time, or if people don't take it seriously at the time, it becomes, yes, a game of rumors, a game of guesswork, and a lot of theories. So this one's going to be really fascinating, but I also want to approach it very practically and really try to think... outside of the theories as to what might have happened here.
