He was arrested in 2011 by police investigating a spate of grave desecrations in cemeteries in and around Nizhny Novgorod. 26 mummified bodies of young girls aged between 3 and 15 were found in his apartment. He exhumed the bodies and mummified them himself before dressing and posing them around his home which he also shared with parents who had mistaken the bodies for large dolls.Support the show

Join us this week on our strange trip into the Stoned Ape Theory. The theory, first proposed by Terence McKenna in the 1990s, suggests that the use of psychedelics played a crucial role in the evolution of early human ancestors. According to McKenna, the consumption of psychedelics, particularly psilocybin mushrooms, allowed our ancestors to develop advanced cognitive abilities, such as language and abstract thinking.

Thelema is a complicated set of magical, mystical and religious beliefs formed in the 20th century by Aleister Crowley. Thelemites might be anything from atheists to polytheists, viewing the involved beings as actual entities or primal archetypes. Today it is embraced by a variety of occult groups including the Ordo Templis Orientis (O.T.O.) and Argenteum Astrum (A.A.), the Order of the Silver Star.
Eroto-comatose lucidity is a technique of sex magic known best by its formulation by English author and occultist Aleister Crowley in 1912, but which has several variations and is used in a number of ways by different spiritual communities. A common form of the ritual uses repeated sexual stimulation (but not to physical orgasm) to place the individual in a state between full sleep and full wakefulness as well as exhaustion, allowing the practitioner to commune with their god.Support the show

This week we dive deep into revealing our shadowy overlords. You may know the names Vanguard, Blackrock, and State Street. All are global investment managers who have done a lot to champion low-cost access to investing for retail investors. Due to their scale and focus on index tracking funds, they have a stake in the great majority of listed companies, and they own a decent stake in many of those companies. As an example, Vanguard is the largest holder of Apple stock, while Blackrock and State Street are the third and fourth largest holders. If this is our last episode, someone got to us.

In the year 1988, a strange phenomenon swept across the globe, one that went unnoticed by the public but caused ripples through the fabric of reality. It was the year humanity faced an unrecorded extinction, and everything we know today is built on the echoes of that lost world. Did a universe ending event in 1988 cause reality to reboot, and struggle to fill in missing information leading to what we call Mandela effects and the worlds 1980's nostalgia as we try to get back to the reality we once knew?

Ventusky is an application that presents weather and meteorological data to allow people to monitor developments anywhere in the world. Several times in recent months the application showed a cluster of waves reaching over 80 feet in height and spanning a distance wider than the state of Texas, moving up from Antarctica and toward the coast of Africa for about 24 hours before disappearing. With the official story seeming to be a flimsy cover-up, conspiracy theorists are having a field day. Check out the story and form your own hypothesis.

Perseus was a major hero in Greek mythology and even today, his name is surely one of ancient history’s most familiar. But who, exactly, was he? He famously slayed the terrifying Gorgon Medusa, a seemingly impossible task, completed through sneaky stealth and trickery. Unlike some Greek heroes, his strength came not from physical power, but rather from the inner qualities of cunning and bravery, making him one of the more complex characters of Greek myth.

The Beale ciphers are several coded messages, originally published in an 1885 pamphlet. This pamphlet purports to tell the story of frontiersman Thomas Beale, who (along with his party) mined quantities of gold, silver, and jewels (currently worth approximately $38 million), transported them across the country on wagons and/or pack mules, and buried them in a underground vault somewhere in Virginia. The ciphers themselves (allegedly) contain exact instructions, in code, to this vast treasure.

In the late summer of 1878, a sleepy Nova Scotia town found itself in the middle of a mystery.
Unexplained banging sounds rang from a home on Princess Street, buildings combusted into flames and a disturbing message was scratched above a young woman's bed: "Esther Cox, You Are Mine to Kill."
If you're from Amherst, this ghost story needs no introduction.

Of all the conspiracy theories that litter the Internet, the flat Earth conspiracy is quite possibly the most curious. After all, the ancient Greeks figured out the planet's shape (and even its circumference) in the third century B.C.
But a fringe society founded in the 1950s, dedicated to insisting that the Earth is flat, has given rise to a modern ground of flat Earth adherents. These believers claim that the Earth is a flat disc, and that evidence that it is round — say, pictures taken from space — are an elaborate hoax involving multiple governments. Opinions differ on exactly how the flat Earth works, with believers concocting elaborate versions of physics and creative interpretations of the solar system to make their theories work.

Ireland's Vanishing Triangle is a term commonly used in the Irish media when referring to a number of high-profile disappearances of Irish women from the late 1980s to the late 1990s. Several other women were also murdered within the triangle and their cases remain unsolved as well. All of the cases appeared to share some common characteristics. The women's ages range from their late-teens to late-30s, they disappeared inexplicably and suddenly, and no substantial clues or evidence of their fate has ever been found despite large scale searches.

According to legend, Pukwudgies can appear and disappear at will, shapeshift, lure people to their deaths, use magic, launch poison arrows, and create fire.
Native Americans believed that Pukwudgies were once friendly to humans, but then turned against them, and are best left alone. According to lore, a person who annoyed a Pukwudgie would be subject to nasty tricks by it, or subject to being followed by the Pukwudgie, who would cause trouble for them. They are known to kidnap people, push them off cliffs, attack their victims with short knives and spears, and to use sand to blind their victims.

Why do tunnels seem cause such strong feelings? Is it the fear of not knowing what lies in the dark? Is it the cold damp air? Is it maybe some primal fear left over from the early days of our species? This week we look into multiple tunnels, from the simply haunted to the completely outrageous.

Raelism, or the Raelian Movement, is another UFO religion and claims to be the largest. The Raelians are the followers of a cult founded in 1974 by the French auto racing journalist Claude Vorilhon. They have had two symbols to represent their cult; a swastika embedded on the Star of David, which was later replaced by a variant star and swirl symbol. They seek to use cloning as a way to achieve immortality. They founded Valiant Venture Ltd Corporation in 1997, to research human cloning. The company changed its name later to Clonaid. The government of France classifies the Raelian Movement as a "secte," meaning "cult."
Claude Vorilhon wrote, "The Message Given by Extra-Terrestrials: At Last Science Replaces Religion," and some other books. Vorilhon, now known as Rael (meaning, "messenger of the Elohim") as he is now known, was allegedly contacted by aliens and told many mysteries; such as life was originally established upon earth some 22,000 +/- years ago through genetic manipulation by extraterrestrials. These aliens desire to return to earth - at Jerusalem in the yet to be built Elohim Embassy where a one world government will be established with is a single currency, language, etc.

The Munich Manual of Demonic Magic or Liber incantationum, exorcismorum et fascinationum variarum is a 15th-century grimoire manuscript. The text, written in Latin, largely deals with demonology and necromancy. The text is a fully digitally restored facsimile copy, but some parts of the text have been left unchanged (in the final part of the book) as they were torn in the original manuscript.
