33. The Jersey Devil: 300 Years of Terror in the New Jersey Pine Barrens

33. The Jersey Devil: 300 Years of Terror in the New Jersey Pine Barrens

January 1909: a week-long wave of sightings hit southern New Jersey and southeastern Pennsylvania. Police officers, postal workers, and entire trolley cars full of passengers all reported the same winged, hooved creature. Schools closed. The Philadelphia Zoo offered $10,000 for its capture. New episode of Yeti to Rumble is out now. We go deep on the Jersey Devil — from the 1735 birth curse to the 1909 week of terror to the theories that still don't fully explain the tracks. Sources: 1.

32. 1,700 UAP Pages the Government Hoped You'd Never Read (Part 1)

The FBI kept a 1,700-page classified file on UFOs. America's leading meteor scientist examined what was flying over Los Alamos and Sandia Base and concluded — formally, in writing — that it was not natural in origin. Edward Teller, one of the men who built the hydrogen bomb, was in the room when the classified findings were discussed. We went through the actual FBI case file 62-83894 and the picture it paints is unlike anything you've seen covered before. Kenneth Arnold, the Maury Island incident, the first documented Man in Black encounter, the Portland police sightings, and the nuclear green fireball problem that stumped everyone from J. Edgar Hoover to Edward Teller. Sources: 1.

31. The Hal Saflieni Hypogeum: Malta’s Underground Temple, Missing Skulls, and the 110 Hz Secret

In 1902, construction workers in Malta broke through a floor and found themselves staring into carved chambers filled with the bones of 7,000 people. The site they discovered had been sealed underground for 4,000 years. One of its chambers resonates at a frequency that shifts human brain activity toward altered states.

30. The Rendlesham Forest Incident: Britain’s Roswell and the UFO the US Military Couldn’t Explain

Britain's most documented UFO case happened not in a field, but next to an active NATO air base — and it lasted three nights. In this week's episode, we go through the Rendlesham Forest Incident: Jim Penniston touching a craft in the trees, Lt. Col. Charles Halt's real-time audio recording, the memo that sat in files for three years, and the physical evidence that the UK government assessed without ever actually investigating. The lighthouse theory is in there too. So is the radiation data. Make up your own mind. Sources: 1. Lt. Col. Charles I.

29. Stonehenge: New Discoveries That Are Finally Changing What We Think We Know

Stonehenge — The Mystery That Won't Stay Buried. We know who didn't build it (not aliens, not Druids). We know the stones came from Wales and possibly Scotland. We know it took 1,500 years to build. What we still don't know is the most interesting part. This week on Yeti to Rumble, Mitch and Russell go deep on the ancient monument that keeps revealing new secrets — including discoveries from 2024 and 2025 that change everything. Sources: 1.
