  • The Roswell Incident
    Nov 6 2025

    n 1947, something strange crashed in the desert near Roswell, New Mexico. First reported as a "flying disc" captured by the Army, the story quickly changed to a weather balloon — and from that moment, the legend was born. Was it part of a classified military experiment, or something not of this Earth? This episode dives deep into The Roswell Incident, the event that launched a thousand conspiracies and transformed a sleepy town into the UFO capital of the world.

  • The Disappearance of Ambrose Bierce
    Oct 30 2025

    Ambrose Bierce was a war veteran, journalist, satirist, and literary ghost hunter whose words cut like steel. In 1913, at the age of 71, he left the United States for Mexico and simply vanished into history. Was he executed? Did he die in battle? Or did the ultimate cynic stage the perfect final act? In this episode, we examine the strange, symbolic, and still unsolved disappearance of one of America's most compelling literary figures.
