February 20, 2025 Patreon Exclusive unlock - The Weird Tapes
In 2008, the Weird Book organization anonymously received a tape labeled "The Roosevelt Project: 1998 - The Terrible." While the mainstream media has treated the recording as a hoax, many parapsychologists and researchers, including those in the Weird Book organization, consider it to be authentic. There have been rumors of a government program called the Roosevelt project for years, but little is known about it. This audio is thought to reveal some insight into the project.
