Have you heard of the #dyatlovpassincident? The mysterious #death of 9 hikers in the Ural Mountains of Russia in 1959 has had investigators stumped for decades. Some explanations fit the circumstances of some #hikers but not others. Some were found found bundled with more than just their own clothes and some were found with nothing but their underwear and socks on. Some were under a tree several feet while others were found under meters of snow on a totally different part of the #mountain. The strangest part? One of the hiker's tongues was missing! We may never know what really happened, but we can sure speculate about this #eerie and tragic case.PHENOMANNOUNCEMENTS: Check out my friend @JrnieJade on instagram!

It's 1981. You walk into an arcade. It's smoky, dark, and you barely spot a black unmarked cabinet in the corner. It's calling your name, echoing. You walk closer to it. You have a decision to make, are you gonna play the game this cabinet holds? LET'S DIVE INTO THE POLYBIUS CONSPIRACY! The mirage of an 80's arcade game that took Portland, Oregon by storm.

What if you stumbled upon a YouTube video of cryptic images and eerie audio one day and went to investigate the channel, only to find that they had uploaded almost one MILLION videos? Add to that the fact that none of the videos make any sense and don't follow any sort of length or structure, but people swear it's a puzzle and when you go back to look for it, it's GONE. Well friend, looks like you'd got yourself a good ole YouTube Conspiracy! Join us as we uncover what the Unfavorable Semicircle YouTube Account entailed, how long it lasted on YouTube before being taken down (before resurfacing again on other platforms, the thing just won't die!), and what the prevailing theories for its existence are.

Spy vs. Spy, US vs USSR, to what length would America go to supersede the Kremlin in psychological warfare by training psychic espionage agents to spy on Russian military bases? How sure are we any of these psychic infiltrations even worked? One thing's for sure, the government has always had and will continue to have plenty of secrets when it comes to what they know and how far they're willing to go to be seen as the top dog.
