Secret Societies

Author: Locations Unknown June 8, 2021 Duration: 1:05:21
Throughout history, tales have been told of secretive groups operating in the shadows of society, controlling every aspect of daily life.  Wild conspiracy theories, ranging from hiding the existence of aliens to the assassination of political leaders, have been tied to these groups.  But is any of it true?  Why are so many prominent figures from history tied to these groups?  Join us this week as we investigate some of the most infamous secret societies throughout the ages.  (Episode 42)

Locations Unknown ventures into the silent, vast spaces where people have simply gone missing. Hosts Mike & Joe guide each episode through a specific case, piecing together timelines from the final known moments, through the often-frustrating official searches, and into the lingering questions that haunt families and park rangers alike. This isn't just a true crime podcast; it’s a close look at the intersection of human error, unpredictable nature, and the peculiar geography of places like dense national forests and isolated mountain ranges that can swallow a person whole. You’ll hear about the decisions made in the critical hours, the terrain that complicated everything, and the community of experts and amateurs who keep looking. The show naturally explores how these landscapes, while beautiful, hold secrets, making the wilderness itself a central character in every story. Tune in for a respectful, detailed examination of stories that end not with a conclusion, but with an open map and a deepened mystery. The podcast digs into the cultural fascination with these vanishings and what they reveal about our relationship with the wild, remote corners of the country.
