In this episode of The Mystery Lounge, we dive into one of the most controversial stories of the digital age: the rise of WikiLeaks. 

We explore how Julian Assange and his team built a system designed to expose hidden truths—and the chain reaction that followed when classified military logs, diplomatic cables, and covert operations hit the open internet. From mysterious sources and encrypted servers to international manhunts and claustrophobic embassy hideouts, we're diving into the story of Wikileaks

Who decides what should stay secret? Can radical transparency go too far? And how did one website become the center of a geopolitical storm?

Settle into the Lounge and join us as we untangle the web of WikiLeaks.

In this episode of The Mystery Lounge, we dive into one of Pennsylvania’s strangest and most hotly debated mysteries — the Kecksburg UFO Incident. On a quiet December evening in 1965, a fiery object streaked across the sky before crashing into the woods near the small town of Kecksburg. Witnesses described a metallic acorn-shaped craft, military trucks soon flooded the area, and the wreckage was allegedly whisked away under tight secrecy.

Was it a secret government experiment gone wrong, a Soviet satellite, or something truly out of this world? Join us as we unpack eyewitness accounts, government reports, and decades of speculation.

From ancient myths to the movie theaters, the legend of the werewolf has taken on many forms — some terrifying, some downright hilarious. In this episode, we take a look at the history of werewolves: where the legend began, why people once believed in real wolf-men, and how the story evolved from medieval superstition to full moon movie icon.

We’ll explore strange historical “werewolf trials,” unpack how the myth spread across Europe, and see how folklore has changed over the years.

In the mid-1980s, American intelligence found themselves in a complicated web. One after another, CIA assets inside the Soviet Union were being captured. Someone was leaking secrets—high-level secrets—and the U.S. intelligence community was desperate to find out who.

This episode dives into what became known as The Year of the Spy and the aftermath that followed. It was a tense and paranoid period when the CIA and FBI launched an unprecedented internal hunt for moles within their own ranks. As the KGB seemed to be one step ahead at every turn, suspicion spread through Langley and beyond. Could there be more than one traitor? And how did the Soviets manage to build these inroads?

In this month’s roundup of mysteries making headlines, we’re diving into three stories that are as strange as they are entertaining.

First, a man breaks a Guinness World Record that seems almost impossible—so impossible that Riley’s not convinced it actually happened.
