Monthly Spooky | Yuba County Five Mystery, Creepy Closet Note, and Venomous Sea Slugs

The Yuba County Five vanished after a basketball game in Northern California in 1978. Four friends were later found dead; Gary Mathias remains missing. August 2025's Monthly Spooky examines their mountain detour and the clues behind this unsolved disappearance. The conversation also covers Erin Patterson's Australian mushroom-poisoning case, venomous sea slugs, a bat scare, a haunted-painting rumor, a creepy closet note, and a UFO festival. This Weekly Spooky edition pairs a cold-case mystery with strange news, asking what sent five men away from the road home and into the mountains.
