The Lore Lads

The Illuminati is possibly the best known conspiracy theory out there. But what are they? A shadowy group of elites? The Freemasons? What are their goals, and how have their methods been used by others throughout history to manipulate people to terrible ends?

In 2014, James McGrogan and three friends went hiking just north of Vail, Colorado. Sometime in the morning of March 14th, he separated from his friends. He was never seen alive again, and the location of his body, once found, defies reason.

When the CIA declassifies something, it typically gets a lot of attention. In fact, it often seems the act of classifying a document only leads to its contents becoming more well known. That is precisely what happened with an otherwise little talked about book called The Adam and Eve Story, by electrical engineer and UFO researcher Chan Thomas (full name Chauncey Powers Thomas).

On May 13th, 2008 Brandon Swanson left an end of the semester party in Canby, MN to head home. He was never seen again. But that's not the weirdest part of the story. Somehow, Brandon ended up miles away from where he intended to be, and nobody knows how or why.

In August of 1958, 10 year old Bobby Bizup went missing while attending Camp St. Malo in the Rocky Mountains. Initially thought to be nothing more than a tragic case of a boy who got lost, later revelations led to a much, much darker story.

Portlock, Alaska; the Roanoke Colony; the Vinland Settlement. All of these villages were rapidly abandoned at some point in the last millennium. But why? What drives people to leave well stocked, resource rich lands without any record of why they did it?

At The Lore Lodge, we're big fans of the unknown. Folkloric creatures, unsolved disappearances, and lost civilizations are what really get us going. As you can imagine, Graham Hancock's Ancient Apocalypse is something we took a keen interest in. In fact, Mattis has been watching Graham since 2019, and largely considers Hancock to be a major reason this channel came into existence. So, we brought in a guy who's made the trending page here on YouTube twice in the last two weeks by debunking Ancient Apocalypse. However, that's not all we're interested in today. The boys will also discuss the concept of "Atlantis" in the sense that there was an ancient civilization washed away in history, as well as the popular (if absurd) theory that there was once a great empire called Tartaria...and that it disappeared like last week.  Will Milo be able to convince Aidan that Graham is wrong? Will Aidan manage to persuade Milo into believing in Atlantis?

The wailing, mournful cry of the Banshee is well known in pop-culture, but there's a lot more to these mysterious beings than meets the eye - including a connection to Missing 411 and various other theories regarding multiple dimensions.

The Rake is an infamous creepypasta from the early days of the internet. Most people who have encountered "The Rake" in media are aware of its origin as a monster story from 4chan and SomethingAwful, but is that all there is to this tale? Descriptions of ghoulish, nightmare creatures who visit us as we sleep are nothing new, so could The Rake be drawing on the existence of something else? And if it is, is that "something else" a product of our own imaginations, or a demonic presence which stalks us at our most vulnerable?
