    Hanussen: The Nazi Rasputin

    Rick and Stephen go inside the case of Erik Jan Hanussen — the most famous mentalist in Weimar Berlin, a Jewish entertainer who passed as Danish nobility. He held séances for senior SA officers, loaned money to the men building the Third Reich, and predicted the Reichstag fire one night before it burned.  One month after the fire he seemingly foresaw, his bullet-ridden body was found in a field outside Berlin.   The "Hitler's Rasputin" version of the story is the easy one. The real case is stranger: a study in access, leverage, and what happens to useful people when they are no longer useful.   Previously referenced in Episode 19 — The Green Dragon Society: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39SLO2D8H3k&t=160s SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buymeacoffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/StrangeAsItSeemsPodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/StrangeAsItSeems614   FOLLOW US:     Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7loq8pr Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast Podbean: https://strangeasitseems.podbean.com/

    In Search of the Occult Octopus

    Rick and Stephen move beyond Epstein to explore a deeper and more elusive question: is there a hidden structure of power that transcends governments, ideologies? Is there a modern Illuminati?

    Jeffery Epstein and Hidden Power

    In this episode, Rick and Stephen turn their attention to Jeffrey Epstein and the deeper structures of influence surrounding his rise and fall. Was Epstein merely a criminal opportunist? A node in something larger? Or a symptom of structural forces that extend far beyond one man?   HELP THE SHOW: Buymeacoffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/StrangeAsItSeemsPodcast   FOLLOW US: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7loq8pr Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast Podbean: https://strangeasitseems.podbean.com/

    Ouija Board Secrets

    In this special episode, Rick and Stephen explore Dr. Spence’s own teenage experiments with a Ouija board in the late 1960s. What began as harmless curiosity soon yielded a mixture of absurd messages, uncanny hits, and an alleged manifestation that continues to raise questions about what, if anything, was truly encountered.   FOLLOW US: Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@StrangeAsItSeemsPodcast Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7loq8pr Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast Buymeacoffee: Buymeacoffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/StrangeAsItSeemsPodcast
