Do aliens exist? Was the Elvis who officiated your Vegas wedding actually Elvis? What if Bigfoot is really descended from a family of cave-dwelling humans from the dark ages? We're just two best friends with so many questions about the world. Join us as each week we tell each other the weirdest unsolved, unimaginable, or unknown case we could find! We don't have any answers, but where's the fun in that?

TREASURE! We love a hunt for some valuables and this week Shannon brings us the story of the Copper Scroll. Hidden away in a cave in Jerusalem was a treasure map. Now that the scroll has completely oxidized, will we ever be able to find its goodies? Or have they already been found?! Nick Cage, JoJo Siwa, and a potato dressed like Tina Turner all make an appearance this week so tune in to see if we figure this one out.

Ep. 166: Coinci-dance: Ley Lines
Is every interesting structure on the planet just a pitstop for aliens on their energy highway in the sky? Or did ancient people really love climbing over hills rather than going around them? This week Emma lays down the lore of ley lines and the weird stuff that can happen around them. Ghosts? Check. Aliens? Check. The fact that St. Michael the archangel might really enjoy Glastonbury? Also check. Enjoy the tangents and our new segment!
