Mysterious Universe is a weekly podcast featuring fascinatingly strange reports from all over the world.
A wave of viral speculation has swept across social media following claims by an Italian research team that new satellite-based radar technology has revealed vast hidden structures beneath Egypt’s Giza Plateau. Enormous underground cylinders, spiral shafts, and five mysterious chambers allegedly lie beneath the Pyramid of Khafre—some even linking them to the legendary Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean. But does the data hold up under scrutiny? And where is the promised evidence?
We break down the wild claims, the strange cast of characters, and the very real science behind the tech—while asking: is this a revolutionary discovery… or just another echo from the esoteric fringe?
Then in our Plus+ extension, we dive into the depths with a look at invisible residents—unidentified submerged objects (USOs), strange water-based anomalies, and the theory that we may be sharing our oceans with a hidden aquatic intelligence.

Is Earth truly the product of random cosmic events, or could it have been deliberately designed by a superintelligence? Authors Christopher Knight and Alan Butler argue that our planet, the Moon, and even the asteroid Ceres form a mathematically precise structure—one that suggests an intelligent force engineered our world as a living incubator. But why?
Their latest book, They Built the Earth, expands on their previous work, revealing how the perfect orbital ratios, astronomical alignments, and encoded measurements in our solar system may contain a hidden message for humanity—one that must be understood for our species to survive. We explore their shocking conclusions, NASA’s mysterious obsession with Ceres, and whether the destruction of an ancient planet in our solar system was part of an intentional cosmic blueprint.
Then, for our Plus+ members, we take a deep dive into the “Instinct” behind high strangeness—a force that may actively shape reality to prevent humanity from falling into spiritual decay. Could reports of Bigfoot wearing clothes, shape-shifting entities, and trickster-like paranormal encounters be part of an ancient, self-regulating mechanism designed to keep us in check?

American culture is everywhere, shaping everything from entertainment to fast food—but could its most profound influence be something far more unsettling? Across the globe, from Hong Kong to Japan, Western mental health concepts are spreading, often replacing traditional ways of understanding distress. Depression, PTSD, and eating disorders are appearing in regions where they were once rare, raising the question: is this organic, or is something more deliberate at play?
In this episode, we dive into the unsettling case from Japan, where pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline saw an untapped market for antidepressants and set out to change the nation’s perception of sadness itself. Through marketing, media manipulation, and cultural rebranding, they turned “feeling down” into a medical condition overnight—selling billions in pills along the way. Could this be an example of a memetic virus, an idea so powerful that it rewires an entire society’s approach to mental illness?
Then, for our Plus+ members, we uncover reports of bizarre shape-shifting UFOs, eerie green mist that seems to transport people between dimensions, and chilling encounters with dark entities that should have never been summoned.

Suppressed by the CIA, the notable works of Chan Thomas are often dismissed as "conspiracy theories" and "pseudoscience," but they are finally starting to gain the attention of modern researchers.

Could this reset cycle be occurring now, and are elite groups trying to keep this knowledge secret?
Also, for our Plus+ members, we consider the trope of building a home on a graveyard and explore how the story behind the 1980s film Poltergeist may have a very real background.

We return for a brand new season of MU, kicking off by plunging into the obscure world of occult groups and secret societies. We explore the recent work of Frederick Dodson, who spent years investigating the hidden aspects of Freemasonry, only to uncover an even more secretive group recruiting members through what he came to know as "side doors." Who are these groups, and how are they using spiritual or invisible methods to exert influence and control over society?
Then, for our Plus+ members, we cover reports of energy-zapping orbs, cloud-cloaking UFOs, and strange phenomena of the San Luis Valley nexus.

Throughout history, new technologies have always sparked apprehension and suspicion. However, arguably none have done so more than the camera, at least from a superstitious perspective. Traditional cultures even believed these modern marvels could steal a piece of your soul. Folklore, perhaps, but could there be something to such a concept? In this episode, we explore this outlandish idea and consider whether, from an energy or new age perspective, cameras and the people who use them could actually take and capture energy from their subjects. If so, what implications could this have for our modern reality? Then, for our Plus+ members, we look at some of the most unusual forms of psychedelic exploration and consider the unconventional techniques for entering and maintaining a psychedelic mind meld.
