EP 90: THE PHILADELPHIA EXPERIMENT!

While recording our 12th episode of the podcast (Unsolved: The S.S. Ourang Medan) we touched on one of the Military’s most well known Conspiracy Theories. However it wasn’t until one of our listeners asked if we ever followed up on it that we decided to cover the story of the Philadelphia Experiment. This experiment had books and movies created surrounding some of the theories that people have about the various events that transpired back in 1943. No one truly knows what happened during this experiment, that is unless you just want to believe what the Navy says. But in this week's episode Lory takes over as host and gets justice for her childhood theory and goes through the various conspiracies surrounding this experiment. Enjoy!
