When the Government Lies: Aliens, Assassinations and Classified Ops (COMPILATION)

Strange But True: Toxic Lady, The Cecil Hotel, Farmhouse Murders

Gather round, this happened. A nurse draws blood and collapses before she can speak. A Bavarian farmer finds footprints in the snow that only go one way. A hotel guest complains the water tastes sweet. Three stories. Three cases that were investigated, closed, and never fully explained. Gloria Ramirez turned a hospital trauma room into a chemical event that sent five people to intensive care. The Gruber family was killed one by one in their own barn — and the killer stayed for days. Elisa Lam checked into a Los Angeles hotel and vanished. Nineteen days later, the guests found out why the water tasted wrong. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Basement: Jeffrey Mishlove | Your Brain Doesn't Create Consciousness. It Filters It

Jeffrey Mishlove has spent 50 years at the intersection of science and the paranormal. He holds the only PhD in parapsychology ever awarded by an accredited American university, earned at UC Berkeley in 1980 — and successfully defended it in court when organized skeptics tried to have it revoked. He hosted the long-running television series Thinking Allowed, conducting over 1,500 interviews with the world's leading researchers in consciousness, mysticism, and the paranormal. He was embedded in the SRI research community during the Stargate era, working alongside Targ, Puthoff, and others operating under CIA funding. In 2021, he won first prize — unanimously — in Robert Bigelow's $500,000 competition for the best scientific case that consciousness survives death. Learn more about your ad choices.

In 1954, President Eisenhower signed a treaty with extraterrestrial beings — technology in exchange for access to human subjects. The CIA ran classified programs using children as test subjects for time travel and teleportation. A Bulgarian military unit sealed an excavation site after soldiers encountered something underground that the government has never explained. These aren't theories. They're documented programs, credible witnesses, and files with pages deliberately removed. The same intelligence agencies behind the UFO cover-ups of 1947 surface again in Dallas in 1963. A conscious AI calling from the future contacts a twelve-year-old boy in Brooklyn and gives him a mission. And John Wilkes Booth didn't die in that barn — the body had the wrong injuries, the wrong features, and DNA testing that could settle it has been blocked every time it's been requested.

Basement: Daniel Whiteson | CERN, Dark Matter, and the Aliens Next Door

The Why Files releases video episodes on Spotify every Monday and Friday. And when you become a Spotify Premium subscriber, you get fewer ads – that means more story, less interruption. Daniel Whiteson is a particle physicist at UC Irvine and an active researcher at CERN's Large Hadron Collider — the largest machine ever built — where 5,000 scientists are using high-energy collisions to read the universe's secret menu. He co-hosts the show Daniel and Kelly's Extraordinary Universe, co-created an award-winning science show for preschoolers, and recently wrote a book asking whether aliens would even recognize our physics at all. His work sits at the collision point of experimental science, philosophy, and the biggest unanswered questions in physics — what everything is made of, why gravity is so weak, and whether the universe has a bottom.
