Conspiracy Theories

Several murders have been dubbed “the crime of the century," but the Lindbergh kidnapping case of 1932 might actually deserve the title. According to some, it shaped the culture of conspiracy theories in America. Was Bruno Richard Hauptmann really guilty, or was he framed? Did he have co-conspirators? Or was the crime perpetrated by the victim’s own father: the American icon with a dark side, Charles Lindbergh Sr.?

If you enjoy this episode, you might also like The Death of Ned Doheny—a case that revolves around a powerful family, and that remains a source of rumor and speculation.

Spring-Heeled Jack: Cryptid or Conspiracy?

In July 2025, researchers discovered an interstellar object entering our solar system. It’s only the third we’ve detected – ever – and it’s been dubbed Comet 3I/ATLAS. NASA says it does not pose a threat to us.

But one Harvard scientist suggests 3I/ATLAS isn’t necessarily a comet – there are too many anomalies. He says, this object may not be natural…it might be alien technology.

Is An Alien Probe Really Coming in November?

Shakespeare’s First Folio is an incredible historical treasure. It also might be an encrypted treasure map. According to the theories, the First Folio’s secret code reveals the “real” Shakespeare author, a royal cover-up, a Freemason conspiracy, and of course, a map to priceless buried treasure. Treasure that may still be out there.

Candy Jones, the Brainwashed Fashion Model

As Germany conquered Europe in 1940, the UK desperately needed foreign reinforcements. When the American people hesitated to help, MI6 conspired to secretly change their minds. But how far did the influence go? Conspiracy theories suggest the US President may have conspired in the psy-op on his own people… and together with MI6, may have concealed tips to prevent Pearl Harbor.

Fake News and Forgeries: How MI6 Manipulated Americans

Most of what we know about Helena Blavatsky’s life seems improbable. In her 59 years on Earth, she was a young Russian aristocrat. A Parisian circus performer. A concert pianist in England. A clairvoyant. A medium. A telepath. An author. A missionary. A descendant of a Rosicrucian Freemason. And some would say: a chain-smoking degenerate liar…possibly even a serial killer. What’s the truth? That’s a great question.

Helena Blavatsky: The Most Interesting Woman in the World?

Driving through the remote Utah desert on the way back to his military base, 23-year-old Private Gerry Irwin witnessed what he thought was a plane crash. He pulled over and ran off into the darkness to help the survivors… and woke up in the hospital 24 hours later with no memory of what happened next. According to the sheriff, he had to be mistaken—there was no evidence of a plane crash. No one had any idea what Gerry saw or what happened to him that night. Was it a mental breakdown? A UFO abduction? A CIA mind control experiment? Over 65 years later, and there are still more questions than answers…

The Gerry Irwin Incident

In 1973, Jack and Janet Smurl move into a modest duplex in West Pittston, Pennsylvania, hoping for a fresh start. What follows is more than a decade of escalating disturbances: strange smells, disembodied voices, levitations, physical assaults, and eventually, a demonic entity said to stalk the family even outside their home. With no help from the Catholic Church, the Smurls turn to controversial paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, who declare their house the site of one of the most terrifying hauntings they’ve ever encountered. 

But was it really a case of supernatural torment—or something else entirely? This is the true story that inspired The Conjuring: Last Rites, in theaters 2025.
