Today we’re talking about one of the creepiest relics of the Cold War, Buzludzha Monument in Bulgaria - an abandoned testament to communism’s unfulfilled ambitions. It resembles a giant concrete UFO on top of a mountain. Not only is it an artifact of a horrific period of history, many claim it’s haunted. We’ll discuss some of the strange things afoot in Buzludzha.

In order to turn this into a true Halloween extravaganza, I’ll read Percy Shelley’s “ozymandias” , which this abandoned monument reminded me of. I’ll also bring my Soviet Union-obsessed eight year old on to tell a good Cold War joke he told me the other day. Like, subscribe, share and leave good reviews. Hit me up on instagram or X.
