Any conspiracy theorist worth his salt has experienced being the weird guy at the party, trying to recount some evidence to prove his perspective after maybe one too many bourbons, and then suddenly asked.. "so who are THEY anyway?" If you've been in this position, well fear not! On this episode, we're going to track the origins of the Illuminati and provide some evidence for its potential infiltration into the unsuspecting brotherhood of the Freemasons and alleged, continued influence in society today.



We summon and analyze archaic letters from George Washington admitting his concern of the Illuminati corruption of early America before opening the closet to expose a couple skeletons of the Skull and Bones. Finally, we peer through the esoteric firelight of the Bohemian Grove and pull back the curtain on its creepy naked elite attendees, while analyzing evidence for its direct connection to the Bavarian Illuminati. 



Also.. Jeremy 'gets by', Jon thinks snakes have arms, and Chris accidentally gets a demonic maternity pillow

Through deep research and high-strangeness storytelling, three brothers explore paranormal encounters and unexplained events. Collecting freaky listener stories and scouring the dusty pages of classic Fortean texts, the brothers use high-production sound design to set the scene for alleged real encounters with, Dogman, Poltergeists, Bigfoot, Fairy Folk, Humanoids, UFOs, Shadow People, and Sky Creatures.. just to name a few.

Attempting to parse out the facts within folklore, the brothers of the Hole banter about everything from bizarre historical mysteries to emerging clandestine conspiracy theories, often challenging their own beliefs and sometimes each other's sanity. Good humor, good drinks, and good discussion! Have you ever overheard a co-worker shakily tell his story of a real encounter with a Dogman? Has your friend or weird uncle told you about his close encounter with a reptilian humanoid from the sewer? Looking to corroborate your grandma's true ghost stories? Were you born with a thirst for the mysterious? Well, sit back and pour yourself a big glass from the Belief Hole, my friend, and help us dig the weird!
