Manage episode 485272416 series 3545700
Tonight, we bring you a startling and subterranean episode as we take another look into the weirdest and wildest stories we could find this week, including the report of a very mysterious planet that should not exist found in the Draco constellation, news that underground tunnels have been found underneath Sforza castle, a study that says an AI chatbot will resort to blackmail when threatened with replacement, and film star Jeremy Renner talks about his near-death experience. All of this and then after the break, we continue our reading series as Frobisher reads more from "Our Haunted Planet," by John A. Keel.
