Three people disappeared under circumstances no one has ever explained. A man runs out of a Bulgarian airport and vanishes into a field of sunflowers, leaving his passport and phone behind. A young woman survives a car crash on a dark New Hampshire road, then disappears in the nineteen minutes it takes police to arrive. A fourteen-year-old boy plans a trip to London down to the smallest detail, then walks out of a train station and is never seen again. These cases span three countries and three decades, but they share the same unsettling gap: a clear trail right up until the moment each person disappeared, and nothing after. We lay out exactly what happened, minute by minute, and the questions that still don't add up. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In 1952, nine of America's wealthiest families gathered in a Maine mansion for a séance. Nine ancient gods spoke through a medium and chose nine people to change the world. Eleven years later, the CIA officer who ran that séance's donor list sent a Russian aristocrat to befriend a troubled ex-Marine named Lee Harvey Oswald. That aristocrat introduced Oswald's wife to a woman named Ruth Paine. Every piece of evidence against Oswald, the rifle, the photos, the testimony, ran through Ruth Paine's garage. A spy camera vanished from police custody. A Warren Commissioner's mistress was best friends with a woman at that séance. The connections are documented. The conclusions are yours to draw.

Carl Higdon went hunting for elk in the Wyoming mountains and never fired a shot that landed. A stranger stopped him first, and nothing about the rest of that afternoon made sense. Hours later, a search party found him soaking wet and shaking, unable to remember his own name or recognize his wife. His truck sat three miles from where it should have been, stuck in terrain it had no business reaching. A bullet in his pocket had been fired, yet it never left the barrel the normal way. Doctors examined him and found changes in his body they couldn't explain. What happened to Carl Higdon on that mountain still doesn't have a clean answer. Learn more about your ad choices.

Colonel John Alexander commanded Green Berets in Vietnam, briefed the White House, and evaluated the Pentagon's strangest programs. He was the first person to spend the night on Skinwalker Ranch. For 79 years, the strange kept showing up in the middle of his official duties — and he wrote it all down. He brought the files. And the bent forks. This conversation goes places I didn't expect.

You can start your claim in just a click without having to leave your couch: https://ForThePeople.com/BASEMENT Jeremy Corbell has spent years chasing the biggest secret in modern history, and it's cost him more than most people realize. He built his reputation filming the footage governments tried to keep hidden, from Navy warships tracking objects no one can explain to whistleblowers risking everything to speak up. Corbell talks about the years it took to earn a source's trust, the moment a supposed ally tried to steal his work in front of Congress, and what it's like knowing your phone might be tapped. He also opens up about his friendship with journalist George Knapp and the partnership that helped change how the public sees this whole story. This is the story behind the story, from the person who has been closest to it the longest. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
