Episode Description

In this new episode, ⁠Crawlspace Media⁠'s Tim Pilleri and Lance Reenstierna discuss the mysterious disappearance of the man known as Peter Bergmann from Sligo, Ireland in June of 2009.

In 2009, a man using the alias "Peter Bergmann" arrived in Sligo, Ireland, to pull off the ultimate disappearing act. Despite battling terminal cancer, he spent his final days dodging CCTV, discarding his belongings, and cutting every label from his clothes before being found dead on a beach. Over 15 years later, he remains a total ghost—an unidentified man who meticulously erased his past to ensure he’d never be found.
