The disappearance of Stacy Arras is one of the more intriguing Missing 411 cases. Not because it is so baffling or inexplicable, but because it was handled in so strange a manner. Stacy's last words with her father, her choice of companion, and especially records of the incident, make no sense. Furthermore, the Department of the Interior maintains that this is an ongoing matter, despite the fact that it is not currently under any investigation. Is David Paulides being stonewalled, or do the accusations of his dishonesty hold water? Welcome back to The Lore Lodge...

Most people who know our guest today know them from their TikTok, howdyhowdyyall1, which chronicles life as a college student who also happened to be raised in a cult. Tonight, we dive into the reality of cults in the United States, and discuss how these strange - and sometimes dangerous - communities form, grow, and function. Welcome back to The Lore Lodge...

Tom Messick is out on a hunting trip, and he hasn't been home in a few days...2,436 days, to be exact. We covered the disappearance of Tom Messick for our very first episode of Into Thin Air, and there was quite a bit to uncover. We're breaking down our trip, what we learned, what was left out of the original story, and what is beginning to feel like a plausible theory regarding the Missing 411 phenomenon, or at least some of the cases: feral people.

In the Book of Job, the Devil went down to Edom, he was looking for a soul to steal...from God. Often cited as a story of God's cruelty and indifference, Job is, in reality, far more complex than that. Possibly a compilation of an old Jewish story and later Greek influenced philosophical dialogue, the book details the trials of the most righteous man of the day, the wealthy and successful Job. Satan is invited to tempt God's greatest servant, only to fail in breaking his faith. Aidan and Isaiah go deep into how this story of loss is really the story of salvation and growth in character.

I have some thoughts on the confession of Brian Laundrie. In September of 2021, I received a snapchat message from one of my followers, asking if I could post about his sister, Gabby Petito, who had gone missing a couple of days prior. She was hiking with her boyfriend, Brian Laundrie. I immediately posted about it, using the story given to me by her younger brother, TJ. There were, at the time of posting, four videos using the hashtag I was asked to use. To say that the events which followed shocked me is an understatement. Within a week it was national news. It was not long, of course, before Brian himself went missing from his family home in Florida. The Laundries lawyered up and refused to cooperate, before eventually injecting themselves into the search effort and immediately finding what they claimed were the remains of their son. We posted a video, linked below, on October 23rd, giving our thoughts on the story to that point. With the release of "Brian's" confession, obtained from the FBI by the Laundrie family's lawyer, Steven Bertolino, I feel it is time to revisit things and give my opinion on the case once again. Everything stated in this video is my own opinion, and does not reflect the opinion of the Petito family, their lawyers, or anyone else involved in the ongoing lawsuit. I speak on this topic with the permission of the Petito family.

The story of Noah's Ark is one of the best known stories of the Bible, but are we taught the correct version? What of the "Sons of God" and the children they created with the "Daughters or Men"? Is the narrative we all heard in Sunday School really how the author of Genesis meant for us to believe, or were the "nephilim" deliberately obscured from our understanding? We're joined by @InspiringPhilosophy to discuss this and other biblical topics.

On May 21st, 2022, a strange looking creature was caught on camera outside the Amarillo Zoo. While many have suggested it is a Chupacabra, and alien, or something else entirely, we have a different theory, and we plan to explain. It all comes down to location, local folklore, and a bit pf a hunch. Welcome back to The Lore Lodge...

The boys are back with more Missing 411 content...on July 4th 1938, Alfred Beilhartz vanished while hiking to a fishing spot with his family.

We often are confronted with legends and folktales that appear to us as otherworldly, but in many cases, the origins of these stories can be found in very real phenomena. Changelings, once thought to be replacement children left behind by the Fae, likely were an early explanation for autism and other social challenges. The Uncanny Valley may be the result of an ancient cousin of ours, which terrified our ancestors to the core. Welcome back to The Lore Lodge...

One of the most inexplicable and haunting Missing 411 cases is that of Aaron Hedges. In the Crazy Mountains of Montana, 38 year old Aaron disappeared - with a trace. Despite leaving a trail of clues, Hedges was never found. Aaron has since become known as "the hunter who vanished in the crazies", with even the most seasoned investigators remaining baffled by his unlikely disappearance. Welcome back to The Lore Lodge...

If you come from a northern European culture, you've likely heard of the Fae. Today, the term is very broad, referring to all manner of fairies, elves, goblins, and more. But it wasn't always this way. Tonight, we sit down with best-selling author Piper CJ to discuss the Fair Folk, the similarities between folk tales of the Celtic, Germanic, and Greco-Roman traditions, and the controversy surrounding Piper's first novel.

He is perhaps the most accomplished general in world history. Alexander the Great was the first man to do many things, from uniting the Greek peoples, to conquering the known world, the ambitious leader created an empire that spanned from the Adriatic coast to the Hindu-Kush. The course of history was forever changed from the moment Alexander first wore the crown of Macedon. Welcome back to The Lore Lodge...

It's the week of St. Patrick's day and you know what that means...educational and entertaining content about Ireland, of course.

At the dawn of American colonization, a colony was twice attempted at Roanoke Island. In both cases, the attempt failed, and the colonies were lost. The first time, we have record of conflict with the natives and trouble securing food. The second time the colony vanished, however, is shrouded in mystery, with one word hanging over it all: Croatoan. Welcome back to The Lore Lodge...

In the 1970's, a group of hunters were stalked by mysterious, non-human creatures. And that's scientifically proven. The Sierra Camp Tapes hold some of the most compelling evidence of non-human intelligence in the wildlands of America. Recorded in the 1970's in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, these tapes show audio of unrecognizable vocal patterns heard around the camp of several hunters. Welcome back to The Lore Lodge...

The boys discuss The Valley of Headless Men, Missing 411, and the idea of uncontacted tribes in our national parks. Centering around Nahanni National Park Preserve in Canada, this is the tale of a number of unexplained deaths - most of them men discovered headless - in the Nahanni River Valley. For decades in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a mysterious force claimed the lives of over a dozen men who went into the region to prospect, hunt, or settle.
