But what they found would be so baffling, so impossible to explain… the truth simply couldn’t stay hidden for long.---------------------------------------------------SUPPORT: If you've been enjoying the podcast, there are ways you can support.Follow the podcast and please leave a 5 star review on whatever platform you're listening on!Share the podcast link on your social media and with your friends and family.You can also check Perplexity Mystery Podcast out on YouTube and subscribe!Buy Kaydra a coffee to support and get a shoutout on the show: https://buymeacoffee.com/perplexitymysterypodcastGet your merch: https://www.bonfire.com/store/perplexity-mystery-podcast/ be sure to tag us on Instagram in your merch!CONTACT:Website: https://perplexitymysteryp.wixsite.com/perplexityTo submit a story of your own, or to make a topic request, email Kaydra at [email protected], or reach out via DM on Instagram.Perplexity is on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube!
