We're just two best friends with so many questions about the world. Join us as each week we tell each other the weirdest unsolved, unimaginable, or unknown case we could find! We don't have any answers, but where's the fun in that?

Ep. 8: IKEA Aliens WITH SPECIAL GUEST!: The Abduction of Betty and Barney Hill
Our very first guest, Liam, (little brother!) joins us as Emma tells Shannon the story of the 1961 abduction of Betty and Barney Hill. The Hills were a New Hampshire couple who truly believed that aliens had taken and returned them; there's even a historical marker in the spot! We all figure out that IKEA is the modern alien's abduction site and that if we get tattoos, Betty's star map may just be the inspiration.

Ep. 4: Sister Somethin': The Bermuda Triangle and the Mystery of Flight 19
The Bermuda Triangle is rumored to be a vortex where ships and planes go missing and might just be a portal for extra-terrestrial beings to join us here on earth. Of all the "notable incidents" that occur within the triangle's bounds, the disappearance of Flight 19 in 1945 is the most famous. Were the pilots plucked from the air by aliens? Were they thrown off course by magnetic forces? Or was it just human error and a crash into the ocean? Maybe the triangle is the site of Atlantis! Join us in ...
