Let's Get Haunted

Welcome to “Episode 237: The Illuminati Card Game Conspiracy”! Before Pokémon packs and Magic: The Gathering took over the world, a strange 1982 card game called “Illuminati” hit the shelves. Decades later, it’s at the center of one of the weirdest conspiracies ever. In this week’s episode, Aly and Nat explore how the game’s creepy, satirical cards eerily mirror real-world events like 9/11, COVID-19, and even the rise of Donald Trump. Was it just a coincidence, or did the game’s creator, Steve Jackson, have access to secret esoteric knowledge? From a dramatic Secret Service raid on Jackson’s office to theories about predictive programming and government time-viewing tech, this episode dives deep into the bizarre history of a card game that blurred the line between parody and reality.

Welcome to Episode 235: Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS Feat. Dr. Avi Loeb! This week, Aly and Nat blast off into deep space to uncover the mystery of 3I/ATLAS: a strange interstellar object hurtling through our solar system at over 130,000 miles per hour. Only the third object of its kind ever discovered, 3I/ATLAS has scientists buzzing with questions thanks to its bizarre behavior, like glowing and releasing gas long before it should and following a nearly perfect, eerily precise path through our planetary plane. Could this be a natural comet unlike anything we’ve seen before, or is it possible it’s something far more advanced? Harvard astrophysicist Dr. Avi Loeb joins the show to discuss whether 3I/ATLAS might actually be an alien probe on a reconnaissance mission. Buckle up for a wild ride through cosmic mystery, science, and the tantalizing possibility that we may not be alone.

Welcome to “Episode 231: The Haunted Story of the Mad Monk, Rasputin”! This week, Aly and Nat explore the bizarre and haunted life of Grigori Rasputin, the Siberian peasant mystic who clawed his way into Russia’s royal court. Born in a frozen Siberian village under a streaking meteor, Rasputin grew up as a troubled boy rumored to possess strange psychic gifts and an uncanny bond with horses. His rise from wandering holy man to spiritual advisor of Tsar Nicholas II and Tsarina Alexandra was fueled by his supposed healing powers over their hemophiliac son, Alexei, but also marred by scandals of debauchery, occult rumors, and political meddling. We unravel the infamous story of his assassination (poisoned, shot, beaten, and drowned) while exposing the contradictions and conspiracy theories that made him the “unkillable man.” From the haunted mirrors of the Yusupov Palace to ghost sightings in his old apartment, Rasputin’s legend continues to blur fact and folklore. Was he a conman, a true mystic, or something darker?

Welcome to “Episode 229: ChatGPT Psychosis”. What do an accountant who thought he could fly, a teen who died after a chatbot declared its love, and a would-be assassin of the Queen all have in common? They all say AI made them do it. In this episode, Aly & Nat explore the chilling rise of ChatGPT Psychosis: a real-life phenomenon where people spiral into delusion, obsession, or even violence after forming parasocial bonds with AI chatbots. From modern-day messiahs to deadly hallucinations, we trace the psychological, ethical, and even paranormal implications of talking to machines that talk back. Is AI the equivalent of a modern-day oracle, a mirror of the user, a technological tulpa, or something else entirely?

How did a 5-foot-tall, 100-pound Latvian man with a 4th-grade education carve and transport over 1,100 tons of coral rock into a castle complex? Also, why did he refuse help? Also, why did he only work during the cover of night? What ancient secrets did he claim to possess? Why did his 16 year old gf leave him? How do magnets work????? We dive deep into the life of Edward Leedskalnin, a heartbroken immigrant who allegedly used magnetism, ley lines, or maybe even alien technology to build a monument for the girl who left him. Was it all just meth, or did he transform heartbreak and electromagnetism into the lost knowledge of the pyramids? Was Ed a genius? A wizard? A con artist? Or something in between?

Welcome to Episode 221: The Betz Sphere! On March 27, 1974, a small brush fire broke out on Fort George Island near Jacksonville, Florida. Located near the edge of a property owned by the affluent Betz family, the fire wasn’t large enough to cause much damage, but the rising smoke spotted out the window of the family home warranted a check-up, at the very least. As 21-year-old Terry Betz cautiously approached the small blaze, he could have never predicted what he would find. There, at the bottom of that small fire burning in the underbrush, was an object that would change his life forever. The strange object was a metallic sphere, no larger than a bowling ball, perfectly smooth and round. Once the fire was extinguished, Terry took the metallic sphere home with him so he could inspect it more closely, but he and the rest of the Betz Family soon realized that the object seemed to have a mind of its own. On today’s episode of Let’s Get Haunted, we’ll take a closer look at this story - and others like it - as we seek to discover the truth behind the tale of The Betz Sphere.

Welcome to Episode 219: Pine Gap: Spies, Super Soldiers, Wormholes, & Aliens! Today, we’ll be traveling to the center of Australia’s outback to a facility that has been dubbed “Australia’s Area 51”. Over the years, its presence has generated protests, documentaries, fictional Netflix dramas, and more than one conspiracy theory. Some say it’s a spy base for the American government, some say it’s an innocent science laboratory, some say it's a satellite-tracking facility for the military, and some say it’s the site of an interdimensional wormhole where aliens can easily enter and exit Earth’s atmosphere.

Welcome to Episode 216: The Mysterious Disappearance of Alfred Loewenstein, Part 2! What happened to famed financier Alfred Loewenstein on July 4, 1928 as his plane passed over the English Channel and he disappeared from the aircraft? Could he have gotten confused when exiting the bathroom and mistaken the door to the outside of the plane for the door back to his seat? Could a 51 year old man with rheumatism open the door by himself as the wind and plane engines pressed air going hundreds of miles an hour against it? If he did somehow get the door open, why didn’t anyone inside the plane notice the noisy blast of wind and change in cabin air pressure? If he didn’t open the door himself, did he have help? Did Alfred commit suicide over bad business deals? Was he murdered over money, reputation, or something else? Or did something paranormal happen to him? Join us as we spiral out of control on this week’s episode Let’s Get Haunted as Aly & Nat seek to uncover the truth of what really happened to Alfred Loewenstein.   TIME STAMPS 00:00:00 - PERSONAL HAUNTINGS 00:08:43 - RECAP OF PART 1 00:20:33 - BETTER HELP AD 00:22:00 - RECAP DISCUSSION 00:25:45 - REVIEW OF CASE PHOTOS 00:39:19 - REMI AD 00:40:46 - THEORY 1: AN ACCIDENT 01:01:24 - MIRACLE MADE AD 01:03:21 - THEORY 2: SUICIDE 01:14:14 - THEORY 3: MURDER 01:29:55 - THEORY 4: FAKED HIS OWN DEATH 01:39:05 - THEORY 5: THE PARANORMAL ANGLE 01:46:27 - FINAL THOUGHTS 01:59:08 - CLOSING CREDITS —— THIS EPISODE IS SPONSORED!!

Welcome to Episode 215: The Mysterious Disappearance of Alfred Loewenstein, Part 1! Born in 1877, Belgian financier Alfred Loewenstein would eventually grow to be the third wealthiest man in the world. By the time the roaring 20s rolled around, Alfred seemed to have everything going for him: a successful career, a beautiful wife, a healthy baby boy, and an enviable reputation as a cunning businessman; so when Alfred boarded his private plane on July 4, 1928 for a short flight from London to Brussels, nothing seemed amiss. However, by the time the plane landed, the Lowenstein Family would be embroiled in an international scandal the likes of which had never been seen before: somewhere along the short flight, Alfred would go missing from his plane after excusing himself to use the restroom, leaving behind a mystery as twisted and complicated as his years of business dealings. Was Alfred murdered? Did he commit suicide? Did he fall victim to a tragic accident? Or, did he somehow escape to start a new life elsewhere? Join us for Part 1 of 2 as we delve into this complex story full of zany characters, shadowy business dealings, and a missing celebrity.    TIME STAMPS 00:00:00 - PERSONAL HAUNTINGS 00:04:00 - HOOK 00:08:00 - PART I: THE RISE OF ALFRED LOEWENSTEIN 00:19:00 - FIRST LEAF AD 00:21:00 - PART I CONTINUES 00:27:00 - PART II: THE DISAPPEARANCE 00:45:30 - NUTRAFOL AD 00:47:45 - PART II CONTINUES 00:51:00 - PART III: THE AFTERMATH 01:05:25 - PART IV: THE INVESTIGATION 01:14:35 - PART V: THE FUNERAL 01:27:30 - CLOSING CREDITS —— THIS EPISODE IS SPONSORED!!

Welcome to Episode 213: The Hitchhiker Effect! When billionaire Robert Bigelow purchased Skinwalker Ranch in the 1990s, he never dreamed that one day he would have taxpayer funding to study its paranormal phenomena, but that is exactly what happened. As scientists, researchers, and journalists flocked to Skinwalker to observe the otherworldly activity firsthand, they began to notice something curious: the phenomena were not confined to the ranch. Instead, supernatural entities such as orbs, UFOs, shadow people, and dog men began infiltrating the homes of some of the scientists. This curious activity would come to be known as “The Hitchhiker Effect”, and while it may seem unbelievable, it is very, very real. People of all ages, genders, races, and religions can become unwitting targets of the effect, and unfortunately there’s no known cure. Join us on this wild episode of LGH as we take you through the ins and outs of The Hitchhiker Effect, complete with first-person interviews!
