Let's Get Haunted

Episode 250: The Voynich Manuscript Conspiracy

For over 600 years, a book has existed that no one can read. Not historians. Not cryptographers. Not even artificial intelligence. This week on Let’s Get Haunted, we are entering the world of the Voynich Manuscript, a 15th century text filled with plants that do not exist, constellations that match no known sky, diagrams of strange biological tubes, and pages of naked women bathing in green liquid. The language has never been identified. The author is unknown. Every attempt to decode it has failed. Is it an alien field guide, a forbidden medical grimoire, an occult text disguised as science, or the most elaborate hoax in human history? We break down the darkest theories, the AI translation attempts, and the possibility that this manuscript was never meant to be understood at all. Because if this book is a joke, it is a masterpiece. And if it is not, then someone in the 1400s knew something we were never supposed to know.

Episode 249: The Beale Ciphers Treasure, An American Mystery

Welcome to “Episode 249: The Beale Ciphers Treasure Mystery”! In the 1820s, a mysterious traveler named Thomas J. Beale left a locked box with a Virginia innkeeper, instructing him not to open it unless ten years passed without anyone coming to claim it. When the box was finally opened decades later, it contained three coded messages and claims of buried treasure worth millions hidden somewhere in Bedford County, Virginia. More than 200 years later, only one cipher has ever been cracked, revealing the treasure’s contents but not its location. Treasure hunters have dug up mountains and cemeteries, cryptographers (and even reportedly the NSA) have analyzed the codes, and theories range from an elaborate hoax by entrepreneur James B. Ward to secret ties with President Thomas Jefferson or poet Edgar Allan Poe. Is the treasure still out there somewhere or has it already been found? Somebody call Nic Cage because on this episode of Let’s Get Haunted, Aly and Nat break down the Beale Ciphers’ history, codes, government intrigue, and theories.

Episode 247: The Molyobka Triangle, Russia’s Area 51

Welcome to “Episode 247: The Molyobka Triangle, Russia’s Area 51”! Deep in the forests of Russia’s Perm Krai lies the Molyobka Triangle, also known as the Perm Anomalous Zone, The Molebka Zone, M-Zone, or even simply ‘The Zone’. This remote region is infamous for decades of UFO sightings, time distortions, electromagnetic malfunctions, and encounters with monsters, cryptids, and shadowy, inhuman intelligences. In this episode, we trace the zone’s strange history from Soviet-era secrecy to post-Perestroika paranormal expeditions, drawing heavily from firsthand accounts, photographs, and field notes written by those who visited the area themselves. From glowing spheres drifting over riverbanks and “living fog” that seems to respond to observers, to mysterious stone structures, scorched clearings, and a rumored portal known as the Wicket, this episode explores why locals, scientists, mystics, and ufologists alike all believe something is very wrong - and very active - in the forests near the village of Molebka.

Episode 246: The Tartaria Conspiracy

What if I told you the world’s fairs were fake, buildings are lying to you, and history is a government fanfic? Did a secret organization hide an entire civilization from us? The Tartarians were allegedly so advanced, they discovered free energy, allowing their citizens to thrive without the pressure of needing to work. This free thinking society led to the creation of advanced technology and grand architecture like the Taj Majal, The Great Wall of China, The Pyramids of Giza and even The Whitehouse. But did a powerful organization with investments in the sale of energy erase the evidence of Tartaria with a series of seemingly natural disasters for their own profit? According to this conspiracy theory, they tried.  TIME STAMPS 00:00:00 HOOK & INTRO 00:06:00 THE HAUNTEDSPHERE 00:16:03 BETTER HELP AD 00:18:06 TARTARIAN ARCHITECTURE 00:30:00  TARTARY MAPS 00:35:36 BLISSY AD 00:47:40 NOWADAYS AD 00:48:50 WORLD’S FAIRS 00:37:17 SPIRES AND DOMES 01:09:25 NUTRAFOL AD 01:11:18 THE GOD FREQUENCY 01:17:18 STARFORTS 01:20:40 ORPHAN TRAINS 01:27:00 IS IT TARTARIAN ARCHITECTURE GAME 00:55:12 CLOSING THOUGHTS AND THEORIES 01:38:00 CITY BEAUTIFUL PROJECT  01:52:30 SECRET PASSWORD AND DONOR SHOUTOUTS!
