The Mystery Hole Podcast

Drawing inspiration from Black History Month, the Spelunkers delve into Afrocentric bits of interesting history and folklore. First on the docket - the enigmatic Yasuke, who was the first and only black samurai of feudal Japan. Then, the crew heads over to the Cryptid Corner to investigate Africa's most famous cryptid, the Mkele-mbembe. And finally, they look into some folklore of the Congo, including Africa's version of the vampire and - you guessed it - Africa's very own Weird Little Guy. 

The gang kicks off this week's episode by pondering fake tech nerd masculinity. Then, they check out aliens in The News. And finally, they infiltrate the Third Reich to get to the bottom of Nazis and the occult. Spoiler alert - it's real bad and dumb. 

An episode about - you guessed it - weird dudes who are found dead on the ground. Quite a specific theme but it works. 

Back at last, the Hole Folks look at the curious life of infamous miser and Ebenezer Scrooge prototype John Elwes. Then, they head into the Ural Mountains to discover the truth behind the Dyatlov's Pass Incident. Grab your coat it's going to be a chilly one! 

On this episode, the Spelunkers sojourn back down to Hell to take a gander at Paimon, the Demon of the Week. Then, shifting gears entirely, the crew continues their exploration into the mystery and majesty of the human form with the biographies of two extraordinarily large men - Angus MacCaskill and Daniel Lambert. 

In this episode of The Mystery Hole Podcast, the gang puts on their SCUBA gear to check out some extremely Lovecraftian cryptids. Then, they fall in love with the grift all over again as they examine two famous female pickpockets from history. Watch your wallets around this episode, folks. It gets handsy!

Real low-energy day over here at the Hole for obvious reasons. Here's some stuff about the election, some stuff about some cryptids, and some stuff about a naked guy. Idk, who cares? I'm going back to bed. 

The Spelunkers return to you for a brief respite from grieving these dark times and, instead, celebrate them as the veil begins to thin for Halloween. In this long Reunion/Halloween special, they take you on a journey through the origin of Halloween (Samhain) as well as the "real life" inspiration for a couple of horror movie characters. Lane talks 12 Hours of Terror, Viv talks about the importance of taking your Clown Pills, and Nathan plays a Halloween trick. They're glad to be back and hope you are too! 

On this episode of The Mystery Hole Podcast, the Hole Diggers finish up Wikipedia's List of Unusual Deaths (for now). Then, they put on their snow gear to take a cold plunge into the hole for a tour through Inuit folklore. Bundle up, friends - it's a cold one! 

This week the Hole Explorers put out a call to all Ronin for help defending the ranch they just purchased, continue their multi-part WikiWut series on The List of Unusual Deaths, and delve into cursed film productions.
