    Ep. 290 - The Yuba County Five

    Back in 1978, one of the most bizarre mysteries in American history occurred. That's when five men on their way home from a basketball game took an unexpected detour into a Northern California forest. After that, no one knows for certain what happened to them after that.

    Ep. 289 - The Game

    One of the most famous modern urban legends is that of Polybius, a mysterious video game that was released in Portland arcades back in the early 1980s. Supposedly teenagers who played this game suffered migraines, amnesia and strangely aggressive behavior. Was this game part of a secret government mind control experiment? In this episode we dig into the truth.

    Ep. 288 - The Montauk Project

    One thing that fans of the Netflix series Stranger Things might not know, is that it was inspired by an actual conspiracy theory involving something known as the Montauk Project. A top secret military base on Long Island may have been the location for a series of disturbing experiments involving time travel, psychic children, monsters and more. In this episode I'm going to tell you all about it.
