Episode 17 – Into the Darkness: The Disappearance of Brandon Swanson

On a quiet spring night in 2008, 19-year-old Brandon Swanson drove into the dark Minnesota countryside — and vanished without a trace. After crashing his car into a ditch, he calmly called his parents for help, guiding them toward his location. But despite being in contact with them for nearly an hour, Brandon was never seen again. What followed was one of the most confounding and haunting disappearances in recent memory — a case filled with silence, confusion, and chilling theories.

In this episode of The Midnight Mystery Archive, we retrace Brandon's final known steps, explore the baffling phone call he made, and examine the search that led nowhere. From misidentified locations to rumors of foul play, we dig into the questions still left unanswered over 15 years later. Was Brandon lost? Was he hiding? Or was someone — or something — waiting in the dark?
