This week on Mysteriousnesses, John J Murray and Eric Readinger venture deep into conspiracy theories, paranormal encounters, and reality itself.

Was the GATE (Gifted and Talented Education) Program of the 1980s and 1990s really designed to identify gifted students... or was it something much stranger? We examine one of the internet's most persistent conspiracy theories and the claims that the program may have had hidden motives.

Next, we discuss CERN's planned shutdown until 2030 and why it's become a focal point for theories involving the Mandela Effect, alternate timelines, and Quantum Immortality. Is reality changing around us, or are our memories simply playing tricks?

Then things get even weirder.

We break down the viral claim of a reptilian shapeshifter spotted at the FIFA World Cup, share chilling stories of Glitches in the Matrix, investigate reports of interdimensional gnomes, and somewhere along the way, John J receives a phone call from his grandparents that may leave you questioning reality just as much as the rest of the episode.

If you enjoy conspiracies, paranormal mysteries, unexplained phenomena, and asking, "What if?" then you've found your people.
