Dyatlov Pass is one of the most famous mysteries of the 20th century, and for good reason. Nine hikers, most of them in their early 20's, all succumb to the elements in the Urals, most with inexplicable injuries, and nobody could agree on a cause. That is, until 2020, when the Russian government finally came forward with an explanation: an avalanche. But is that quite enough to explain it all? Welcome back to The Lore Lodge...

The Missing Enigma makes a surprise appearance to join The Lore Lodge in discussing a variety of topics. Skinwalker Ranch is not just known for Skinwalkers or ranching, it's also a hotbed of alleged UFO sightings and other paranormal, sci-fi-esque nonsense. So, is any of it real?

In Episode 3 of Graham Hancock's Ancient Apocalypse series, the author and investigator heads to Malta to explore what he believes may be traces of an ancient civilization, one we typically refer to as "Atlantis". By calculating the movements of stars, dating archaic human teeth, and referencing island folklore, Graham makes a persuasive argument for a much old date of settlement in Malta than is currently accepted, but is he to be believed? We dove into the sources Graham uses, the research that has and hasn't been done, and we don't think either side is going to be happy with what we determined. Welcome back to The Lore Lodge...

The United States and Canada have a complicated history when it comes to the relationships between the Indigenous and Settler communities. Enemies and alliances, trade and conflict, trust and betrayal; all have transpired between the various factions, often more than once. Though we've left the days of open conflict far behind, stories like that of Amber Tuccaro are all too common.

If you were into creepypastas, you know Slenderman. The unsettling, suit clad demon came into being in 2009 as a result of a photoshop competition on Something Awful, but he didn't stay a powerless horror story for very long. The mythos expanded beyond what the creators ever could have intended, with an entire world coming about that almost looks like a warped version of Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends, and it inspired two girls to do...well, something awful.

Sometimes, a Missing 411 case is unsolvable because the subject has passed on. Sometimes they appear right where you left them, just without any memories. Others still, it seems as though something kidnapped them. This story is different. In 1978, Steven Kubacki wandered onto the ice of Lake Michigan for some two hundred yards, vanished for 14 months, and then showed up with puzzling clues, total amnesia, and a distinct lack of curioisity about what happened to him. It could be along the same lines as Danny Filippidis, who disappeared from Upstate New York 40 years later. Some have suggested that both men traveled through wormholes, or portals, right here on Earth. Could that theory be worth anything?

We've been covering conspiracies for a bit now, but none have resulted in quite so much drama as "Tartaria." Thing is, while the algorithm loves drama, we don't. So tonight, our guest, @xirtus , is here to take part in a discussion about the concept of Tartaria, with the end goal of everyone coming away with a better understanding of the beliefs, evidence, and arguments for both sides.

What if someone told you that the Catholic Church was responsible for a major rewriting of history, which edited out the existence of a massive, advanced empire known as Tartaria? Would you be shocked? You probably would. But that's exactly what adherents of the "Tartarian Truth" movement claim.

There's a lot of people out there claiming that humanity was once far more advanced than we ever thought. Surely you've heard of Ancient Aliens, but that's not the only theory out there. From the crustal displacement theorists such as Charles Hapgood to the Ancient Apocalypse narrative of Graham Hancock, people are fascinated by the possibility of a lost chapter of human history. So what is the evidence for such a thing? Aidan Mattis is joined by Dr. Benjamin Olshin to discuss.

In the year 2000, a controversial journalist (whose name we can't even mention on YouTube) infiltrated the secretive wilderness retreat known as the Bohemian Grove. Inside, he claims to have witnessed a pagan ritual involving sacrifices to the ancient Ammonite deity Moloch, as well as a complicated plot to create a New World Order. Is that truly what's going on here? Or is this just another nonsense conspiracy theory?

The very first video we ever made surrounded the Missing 411 phenomenon, as made famous by David Paulides. In the ensuing two years, we've both defended and chastised the work of the former detective. At our core, however, is a firm belief that David's work has played an important role in bringing missing persons cases to a broader audience, who in turn can affect real change in law enforcement practices. He's also done some pretty interesting work in regards to the whole Bigfoot thing, and not in the way many might think.

We've all seen vampires, most of us on the screen, the unlucky ones maybe not so much...but what are they? Where did this ubiquitously recognized monster come from? The vampire as we know it seems so distinct and concrete, a blood sucking, anti-sun, garlic avoidant apex predator. But it wasn't always like that. In fact, not so long ago, the "vampire" of Western cinema and literature simply didn't exist. So how'd it become so well known?

When the CIA declassifies something, it typically gets a lot of attention. In fact, it often seems the act of classifying a document only leads to its contents becoming more well known. That is precisely what happened with an otherwise little talked about book called The Adam and Eve Story, by electrical engineer and UFO researcher Chan Thomas (full name Chauncey Powers Thomas).

At The Lore Lodge, we're big fans of the unknown. Folkloric creatures, unsolved disappearances, and lost civilizations are what really get us going. As you can imagine, Graham Hancock's Ancient Apocalypse is something we took a keen interest in. In fact, Mattis has been watching Graham since 2019, and largely considers Hancock to be a major reason this channel came into existence. So, we brought in a guy who's made the trending page here on YouTube twice in the last two weeks by debunking Ancient Apocalypse. However, that's not all we're interested in today. The boys will also discuss the concept of "Atlantis" in the sense that there was an ancient civilization washed away in history, as well as the popular (if absurd) theory that there was once a great empire called Tartaria...and that it disappeared like last week. Will Milo be able to convince Aidan that Graham is wrong? Will Aidan manage to persuade Milo into believing in Atlantis? Welcome back to The Lore Lodge...

The Rake is an infamous creepypasta from the early days of the internet. Most people who have encountered "The Rake" in media are aware of its origin as a monster story from 4chan and SomethingAwful, but is that all there is to this tale? Descriptions of ghoulish, nightmare creatures who visit us as we sleep are nothing new, so could The Rake be drawing on the existence of something else?

History Daddy joins The Lore Lodge crew to discuss the best known of the cryptids: Sasquatch. If you're from North America, you probably have heard of Bigfoot. Statistically, about 1 in 10 people watching this video believe he's real. But is there evidence? Well...yes, actually. In 1972, Ron Morehead and Al Berry captured a series of strange vocalizations while camping high in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. Their description, and the analysis performed at the University of Wyoming, suggest some things that match Native folklore about the "Sasq'ets", a race of large, hairy, violent creatures of disputed humanity which dwell in extensive cave systems deep in the forests. Today, we're talking about it. Welcome back to The Lore Lodge...

The story of The Boy in the Box, also known as America's Unknown Child, is not a happy one. For 65 years the identity of that child found on a cold and rainy February morning in the Fox Chase neighborhood of Philadelphia remained a mystery. In December of 2022, his identity was finally released to the public.

Approximately 1% of them are indigenous women, but that small percentage obscures a dark truth: Native American women are less likely to be found, more likely to be victims of interracial crime, and they are less likely to see justice due to a litany of jurisdictional and social issues. Their disappearances and deaths are referred to as the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, or MMIW for short. Welcome back to The Lore Lodge... To help out with the problem of MMIW, consider writing to your congressional representative, donating to an organization that supports Native Women, or spreading word about the situation.
