This notorious secret society is purported to control world events, and seeks to create a so-called "New World Order". Although skeptics are quick to dismiss the Illuminati as paranoid nonsense. The fact is, they were once very real.  Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theconspiratorspodcast Notes: https://www.theweek.co.uk/62399/what-is-the-illuminati-and-what-does-it-control https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/03/29/illuminati-conspiracy-theory-thomas-jeffersion-1800-election-152934 https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20170809-the-accidental-invention-of-the-illuminati-conspiracy https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2022/10/illuminati-conspiracy-theory-history-founding-fathers.html https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/feb/14/illuminati-running-world-not-mad-idea-questioning-hidden-power-elites-sane https://www.historytoday.com/archive/history-matters/illuminating-conspiracy https://www.livescience.com/40048-what-is-the-illuminati.html https://www.yahoo.com/news/8-most-popular-illuminati-conspiracy-074348294.html https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/2018/09/what-is-the-illuminati-conspiracy-and-who-are-its-members https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/608358/illuminati-facts https://timeline.com/illuminati-history-8f90c2e03bd9 https://www.forbes.com/sites/danidiplacido/2020/07/06/the-bizarre-beyonc-conspiracy-theory-explained/?sh=2a70e4dd34c4 Learn more about your ad choices.

A lot of conspiracy theories can be explained away as simple coincidence, and the way our human minds are designed to seek connections in places where there aren't any. And yet, there are some stories that make you wonder if something more sinister really is going on. During the 1980s nearly two dozen people working for a British defense firm all died under unusual circumstances. Were these just coincidences, as the British government insisted? Or were they all killed in a game of foreign espionage?

In 1938, a Hungarian paranormal researcher named Nandor Fodor investigated the poltergeist haunting of a seemingly average housewife named Alma Fielding.

Back during the start of the 20th century, the Gilded Age gave way to the Progressive Era as immigrant labor was forced to work long hours in terrible working conditions. This all came to a head on March 25, 1911, when a fire broke out in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in New York's Lower East Side, killing 146 people. It was one of the greatest tragedies in the history of America.

Throughout the history of the old west, there are few lawmen with as interesting a story as that of Bass Reeves. He was a former slave who became known far and wide as perhaps the most prolific law enforcement officer in history. Some stories claim he arrested more than 3,000 criminals in his career, and shot and killed as many as fourteen men. He's also widely believed to be the inspiration for the one of the most famous fictional cowboys ever, the Lone Ranger.

You've probably heard stories about child prodigies, those remarkable children who show incredible aptitudes in art, music, science and mathematics at an early age. Well, once there lived a little girl named Barbara Newhall Follett, who published her first novel at age 12, and for a time became the darling of the literary world. But fame and critical acclaim at such an early age comes with a price, and one day when Barbara was 25 years old, she walked out of her apartment and was never seen again.

Scientists estimate anywhere from eight to fifteen percent of the public suffers from the condition known as sleep paralysis sometime during their lives.

In this episode I'll tell you about the long history of sleep paralysis, and about the time during the late 1970s and early 80's when 117 otherwise healthy men died in their sleep.

In October 1966 a terrible mining disaster occurred in the Welsh village of Aberfan, killing 116 children and 28 adults. One strange thing that occurred following the disaster were the number of stories that began emerging that several children who were killed along with a number of other adults who should have had no knowledge of the flood, began reporting having psychic premonitions of the disaster before it occurred. This led a British psychiatrist named John Barker to create a premonitions bureau, where he collected stories of psychic visions, in the hope that they could one day use this information to save lives.

Hey everyone, here’s the latest conspiracy-laden episode, featuring guest host Rob Kristofferson of "Rolling Through the Realms", "The Order of Podcasters" and "Our Strange Skies". During the 1930s, Huey Long was the ultimate political heavyweight in Louisiana. He simultaneously acted as the state's governor and U.S. Senator. But in 1935, according to the history books, a young doctor named Carl Weiss assassinated Long by gunning him down inside the state capitol. But is that what really happened? In this episode we tell you about the wild and colorful history of Long's political career, and explain why Long's alleged assassin might really be innocent.
