  • Forrest Fenn and His Deadly Treasure Hunt
    May 20 2025
    Forrest Fenn was a decorated Air Force pilot, art dealer, and author who lived in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He collected rare artifacts from around the world. After surviving cancer in the late 1980s, he devised a wild plan: hide a treasure chest filled with valuable items and challenge people to find it. Fenn published a book in 2010 titled The Thrill of the Chase. Inside it, he included a mysterious poem. This poem, he said, held the clues to find a hidden treasure somewhere in the Rocky Mountains. It didn’t take long for the hunt to gain attention. People from all over the world traveled to the mountains to try to solve the clues. The treasure was said to be worth up to $5 million, and many were eager to claim it.

    May 13 2025
    It all started at a science conference. A woman named Joy Milne stood up after a lecture on Parkinson’s disease and asked the speaker, “Why do people with Parkinson’s smell like that?” The scientist, Dr. Tilo Kunath, was confused.

  • Who Was the Hollywood Con Queen
    May 6 2025
    It all started with a phone call. A photographer in Colorado received an offer from a well-known Hollywood producer. She said she needed photos taken in Jakarta, Indonesia, for a Netflix pitch. The contract looked real. The emails were official. He was even reimbursed — or so he thought. The photographer paid for flights, hotels, and drivers, expecting to be paid back later. But the producer kept changing plans and asking for more. Eventually, the gig moved from Indonesia to Los Angeles. But when he arrived in LA, there was no meeting, no show, no producer, just silence.

  • Third Wave | Teacher Accidentally Starts a Fascist Cult
    Apr 15 2025
    Ron Jones was a fun and popular history teacher at Cubberley High School. One day, a student asked him how people in Germany could follow someone like Hitler. Ron wanted to answer that question through a Social Experiment. He set simple rules. Students had to greet him in a special way, sit quietly, and ask questions using three words or fewer. Jones promised good grades if they followed his rules. The students quickly obeyed, and as quickly as they obeyed, the experiment got out of hand.
