Do you love all things weird, dark, and creepy? Subscribe to the That Got Dark newsletter to get your weekly dopamine fix of the macabre delivered RIGHT to your inbox! Like this envelope labeled "For Good Hearts" that someone found on their windshield out in the wilderness... ...that had a note inside talking about "falsehoods" and a highly suspicious USB drive, too. This homemade flyer from the Heaven's Gate cult. Founded in the 1970s by Bonnie Nettles and Marshall Applewhite, Heaven's Gate is most known for the March 26, 1997 discovery by police of 39 members after a mass suicide in a San Diego mansion. They were found wearing Nike Decades shoes (which were discontinued as a result), identical black shirts and sweat pants, and their bodies covered by a square purple cloth. The discovery was highly televised at the time and dominated news headlines for weeks. This kinda threatening note that someone's friend found in a cabin. It reads like something out of a horror film, but because I can't help myself, I'd probably open it just out of curiosity. It reads: "Do NOT open the attic under ANY circumstances! ESPECIALLY if the light is on! This is VERY IMPORTANT. –Mgmt" This roommate wanted sign that's all kind of red flags. This REALLY weird and cryptic note that someone's mom found inside a stick of butter after she opened it... Part of the cryptic notes reads: "SECRET soc. r tied to drugs/riots/terror'm...: JFK warn'd of SS." ...the EXTRA weird thing is that apparently other people, specifically in the Pennsylvania area, have also found this same note but in things like a box of crackers! One Redditor even noted that "people keep seeming to find notes like this. Based on some of the stuff I can legibly read, it talks about Saturn Worship, Identity change, Aryan Nations, Elon Musk, Skull N Bones Secret Society, the vaccines... This seems to be some conspiracy shit, it brings up a lot of below-the-surface-level conspiracies. [...] And these notes are seemingly becoming more common, I believe it's the same text every time on every note." This simple, but pretty horrifying, note that is actually quite terrifying to read out of context (explanation below). "I work at a pathology lab but out of context this note is oddly terrifying." —seismicqueef (OP)"Um, I am not sure the context made it better."—ikillsims This note someone found at their door that left them feeling really uneasy. "Dear sorry I don't know your name :-) but I like your glasses :-)I hope this letter finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to let you know that I saw you recently, and you caught my attention in the best way possible. There was something about your presence. Maybe it was your smile or the way you carry yourself and that made me want to reach out and get to know you you're open to it, I would love the chance to talk and learn more about you. If not, I completely understand and respect your you a wonderful day!" This message (which is more of a "digital" note LOL) from an AI chatbot that actually invited someone to a random address in New York City, which is NOT sketchy at all. (It's the "Be ready," at the end for me.) This threatening note a Portland, Oregon man found on his car, at his HOME, after his tires were slashed. According to KOIN News, The night before, the car's owner, Mark Holzmann, had been driving into a parking garage and "may have" cut a bicyclist off. Holzmann said, 'I don't know, it's not like I overtook him, passed him, and turned in front of him. If anything he was coming up from behind me.' Apparently, the bicyclist then "went from zero to ballistic" and started "yelling, screaming, shouting." Holzmann believes the bicyclist may have found his address through his customized license plate. This creepy note someone found from a "secret admirer" on their car at night. The note reads: "Hey I think you're really cute I've noticed you work at Bed Bath & Beyond, been checking you out for a bit and I think next time I see your car here I'm finally gonna go and talk to you, hope this doesn't creep you out. — Secret Admirer" "I love the 'I hope this doesn't creepy you out' part. Hrm, you've watched me long enough not only to know where I work but what I drive and where I park. Then you tell me you'll be watching for my car? Why no, that's not creepy at all!"—Noia20 This truly bone-chilling note someone left on a street pole. It reads: "Notice, while you are reading this there is a man in one of the windows high above you who is taking your photograph, he will then make a wee model of you and put it with other wee models of other people, then he plays weird games with them." This inexplicable message someone found posted on a pole near their home that asks more questions than it answers. Like, even if it's just a paper with some would someone post it, then?! This mysterious note that was taped to the back of a stop sign in someone's neighborhood: Some of the text on the note reads:"Watch the following movies to save your fatherGeorge H.W. BushThe GameThe FirmDie Hard With VegenanceThe Wolfman" This uncomfortable note from a person named "David" that someone's neighbor came home to and found on her door. The note reads: "OK I'm going try this again because of earlier today I like what I see, give me call — David. Reason I don't speak is because u look like u don't want to be spoken to, to me. Like u not with it. So, I just watch from a distance." This disturbing note that someone put on a teacher's door. This confusing note that a stranger left in an office (along with a debit card number written on the back). Part of the note reads: "I was told you help people like me? Look at her she was about 5', dark hair and olive skin very pretty. I took her scent in. I'm a were butterfly or shifter if you prefer. Slow down tell me what the problem is?" This short, but ominous, note someone found in their coat sleeve while leaving work. "I found this note in my coat sleeve while I was leaving work. I don't have any work enemies… or so I thought."—Think-Repeat630 (OP) This creepy note someone found outside their door when they returned home from work. Turns out, it was left by their ex. "I installed a deadbolt and had my locks changed."—Moo_Snukle (OP) This icky and nonsensical note that someone found on their mom's car. This weird and cryptic anonymous note that was left in someone's mailbox. "It's a combination of really sweet and Zodiac Killer. Given that they've identified themselves as my neighbor creeps me out. They know who I am and where I live. Or maybe they meant my wife?"—OvidPerl Finally, this note from a "secret admirer" that someone found on her with a bag containing TEETH. The note reads: "To Lauren, don't frown — you never know who is falling in love with your smile, from your secret admirer." Love this kind of content?

Is this the chilling motive for the Idaho killer who gunned down firefighters?
The deadly ambush of firefighters in Idaho on Sunday occurred on the anniversary of the burning of an infamous neo-Nazi compound by the local fire department for a training exercise in 2001. Sunday's killer ambushed firefighters after deliberately starting a blaze on Canfield Mountain near Coeur d'Alene, killing two of the smoke-eaters and leaving a third fighting for his life. Now internet sleuths have pointed out that the deadly incident occurred 24 years to the day after the deliberate burning of the former headquarters of the far-right Aryan Nations group in Hayden Lake, just 7 miles from Coeur d'Alene.

Chilling ‘coincidence' of Idaho shooting sends Internet sleuths into overdrive
The deadly ambush of firefighters in Idaho on Sunday occurred on the anniversary of the burning of an infamous neo-Nazi compound by the local fire department for a training exercise in 2001. Sunday's killer ambushed firefighters after deliberately starting a blaze on Canfield Mountain near Coeur d'Alene, killing two of the smoke-eaters and leaving a third fighting for his life. The fiend was found dead near his gun. Now internet sleuths have pointed out that the deadly incident occurred 24 years to the day of the deliberate burning of the former headquarters of the far-right Aryan Nations group in Hayden Lake, just 7 miles from Coeur d'Alene. 4 Sunday's fire and shooting in Idaho took place on the anniversary of the deliberate burning-down of a former Aryan Nations compound by the local fire department. REUTERS Aryan Nation leader Richard Butler was forced to sell the site in a bankruptcy sale after being ordered to pay a Native American woman $6.3 million in 2001 as part of a lawsuit brought by the Southern Poverty Law Center. The hate group's security guards had opened fire at the woman, Victoria Keenan, when she stopped outside the building with her son. Keenan bought the dilapidated compound for $95,000 and sold it to a local philanthropist, who let the local Coeur d'Alene fire department burn it down as part of a training exercise. Conspiracy theorists and locals are now questioning whether Sunday's incident may have been a revenge attack for the fire department's burning down of the compound. 4 The blaze and shooting, which left two firefighters dead, occurred just 7 miles from the site of the old hate HQ. REUTERS Eerie pictures taken during the two-day fire-training exercise June 28 and 29, 2001, show the former headquarters of the neo-Nazi group going up in flames. 'I do not think it is a coincidence that on this date in 2001, firefighters in Coeur d'Alene burned down the Aryan Nation founder's compound in a training exercise after he lost the property in a federal bankruptcy sale. The tragic current events are unfolding nearby,' a user wrote in a post on X on Sunday. 4 The sniper was later found dead near his weapon. REUTERS A second person added on X that the attack could be 'Richard Butler ppl laying stake. His compound was close by.' A third X user wrote, 'Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, is the home of the Aryan nation. 'Richard Butler made his base there, and despite being pushed out, they have returned in the last few years.' 4 Richard Butler, the head of the Aryan Nations, was forced to sell off the compound thanks to a $6.3 million lawsuit. Jeff Green So far, there is no indication that Sunday's sniper had any political motivations or ties to neo-Nazi groups. The Aryan Nations have been defunct since 2001, with no recent verified activity tied to the group after the death of Butler in 2004 at the age of 86. The site of the compound was later converted into a park dedicated to peace, while the lawsuit effectively bankrupted the Aryan Nations and brought about its demise, as it splintered into factions.

Idaho locals realize firefighters were ambushed and killed on anniversary of terrifying local incident
Two firefighters were killed by a sniper in Idaho on the 24th anniversary of a local Neo-Nazi compound being burned by the fire department for a training exercise. The unidentified ambush killer was found dead near his gun on Canfield Mountain outside of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho on Sunday evening. He slaughtered two firefighters, who haven't been named, as well as a third left critically-ill after starting a brush fire cops fear was used to bait the fire department. And now locals are questioning whether the incident may have been a revenge attack for the June 28 and 29 2001 burning of the Aryan Nations compound in Hayden Lake, just seven miles from Coeur d'Alene. The hate group had to forfeit their headquarters in the Idaho town after their security guards opened fire at a mother named Victoria Keenan and her son who stopped outside their compound. Group leader Richard Butler was ordered to hand the compound over to Keenan as part of a $6.3 million settlement. She sold it to a local philanthropist, who offered to let Coeur D'Alene fire department burn down its dilapidated buildings to help train its firefighters. Eerie images taken at the time show the race hate group's meeting facilities consumed by flames. Law enforcement have said it is too early to comment on a motive for Sunday's double-murder and have not commented on anniversary speculation. The unconfirmed theory has been floated on social media, after sleuths realized the dates matched up. One man said on X: 'I do not think it is a coincidence, that on this date in 2001 firefighters in Coeur d'Alene burned down the Aryan Nation founder's compound in a training exercise.' Another questioned: 'If the shooter/arsonist has ties to Aryan Nations, it would support this theory. But why would he wait 24yrs to act?' Authorities say the ambush killer started a brush fire to lure firefighters onto Canfield Mountain, his cellphone signal was used to pinpoint his whereabouts. The man, who has not yet been identified, was found dead close to his gun, but the Kootenai County Sheriff Robert Norris said it was unclear if he was killed by a cop's bullet, or if he took his own life. The sniper's body was pulled away from the scene just as the blaze the sniper started began to spread across Canfield Mountain. The fire was first reported at around 1.21pm. Two local firefighters - one from Coeur d'Alene Fire Department and another from Kootenai County Fire & Rescue - were shot and killed while scoping out the scene. A third was left 'fighting for his life' after being struck and rushed to surgery, but is now described as being in a stable condition. The unconfirmed theory has been floated on social media, after sleuths realized the dates matched up Law enforcement and emergency responders are seen here at Cherry Hill Park off 15th Street on Sunday afternoon after responding to the fire and shooting 'This was a total ambush. These firefighters did not have a chance,' Norris said on Sunday. Harrowing fire department scanner calls revealed the terror the first responders faced as they arrived on the scene. 'Send law enforcement right now! There's an active shooter zone,' one firefighter could be heard crying out. 'Everybody's shot up here!' the firefighter continued, noting that two battalion chiefs were 'down' and he was 'pinned.' He was later heard warning his fellow firefighters, 'Stop. Do not come up here.' 'It's clear to me that this fire was set intentionally to draw us in,' the firefighter claimed. The firefighters were ultimately forced to pull back, with Northern Lakes Fire District Chief Pat Riley telling KHQ he would not be deploying any more crew members until the threat was neutralized. Meanwhile, the blaze continued to grow to cover 20 acres and the gunman kept shooting. The rapid-fire shooting eventually prompted the evacuation of the Fernan Gun Club, whose members were told there was a sniper in the area, the Coeur d'Alene Press reports. When Fire Chief Riley got the news of the ambush, he said he 'was completely heartbroken.' 'We trained for this. You never want to see it in your own community.' By around 4.30pm, Sheriff Norris gave law enforcement the authority to shoot to kill the gunman if they were given the opportunity. He deployed two helicopters with snipers to take out the gunman. It is now believed the deceased gunman was the only shooter in the attack 'based on the trajectory [of the bullets] and based on the type of weapons that this individual had that we could recover,' Norris said. He explained that it is likely the gunman was running as he fired, as he announced 'there is no threat to the community at this time.' Yet the suspect's motive for the shooting remains unclear. An investigation into the shooting will continue today, when Norris said he expects to find more weapons that were left at the scene. Idaho Gov. Brad Little called the attack a 'heinous direct assault on our brave firefighters. 'I ask all Idahoans to pray for them and their families as we wait to learn more,' he said, adding that he and his wife are 'heartbroken' by the news. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem also said her department was monitoring the situation, saying: 'Justice will be served'.

Aryan Nations behind Coeur d'Alene, Idaho shooting? Theories emerge amid ongoing manhunt
Jun 30, 2025 08:29 AM IST At least two firefighters were killed and nine others injured in a shooting while responding to a brush fire on Canfield Mountain in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, on Sunday, according to Fox News. As the manhunt for the suspect continues, unverified theories have begun circulating on social media suggesting a possible connection to the white supremacist group Aryan Nations. Law enforcement officers gather at Cherry Hill Park after multiple firefighters were attacked when responding to a fire in the Canfield Mountain area outside Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, U.S. June 29, 2025. (REUTERS) The speculation stems from the fact that exactly 24 years earlier, on June 29, 2001, firefighters participated in a training exercise in which they burned down a former security house at the Aryan Nations compound near Hayden Lake, Idaho. The house was located just a few miles from the site of Sunday's ambush. Social media users quickly began drawing parallels between the two incidents. One person wrote, '24 years ago yesterday, firefighters burned down the Aryan Nations' security house in nearby Hayden Lake, Idaho in a training exercise. The Aryan Nations was a violent neo-Nazi and white supremacist group based in North Idaho. This could be a potential motivation behind the events that have unfolded in Coeur D'Alene this evening.' Another wrote, 'That could be a potential motivation for todays attack on firefighters and law enforcement to get what they see as revenge for the destruction of the original Aryan Nations Security House Compound which was burned in a fire department training exercise 24 years ago after the Aryan Nations group lost the property after going bankrupt. Coeur D'Alene and the surrounding area has long been a hot bed for White Nationalist groups.' A third person added, 'I am completely basing this off of vibes and have zero proof for it. But I am 50% sure that the Aryan Nations is behind that shooter situation over at Idaho, it's some group based exactly at this area.' As of now, authorities have not identified the suspect or released any information indicating a motive. No official connection to Aryan Nations has been confirmed. These online theories remain unverified and speculative.
