Every summer, the most powerful men in America disappear into the California redwoods for two weeks. Presidents, CEOs, Supreme Court justices—they all gather at a private club called Bohemian Grove. And what they do there has been kept secret for over 150 years.   They wear robes. They perform rituals. They worship a 40-foot stone owl.

    This isn't conspiracy theory—it's documented history. In this episode, we're diving deep into Bohemian Grove: who's been a member, what actually happens during their ceremonies, the leaked footage that exposed their rituals, and why the world's elite have gathered in these woods since 1872.

   From the Cremation of Care ceremony to the Manhattan Project's origins, from Richard Nixon's leaked comments to Alex Jones's infiltration—this is the complete story of America's strangest and most exclusive secret society.

What's really happening in those 2,700 acres?

Let's find out. 🕯️ Come curious. Stay strange.
