Strange Realm - Ep. 071 - July 7th, 2024

Tonight we bring you an awake and aware episode full of esoteric historic investigation as Frobisher Smith and Raven Black first expose the truth about Saturn's rings, then take a look at news that Japan has OK'd the development of chimeras to full term. Then we delve deep into historic landmarks of yesteryear destroyed decades ago, and discuss a secret mystery island once used by William Steinway's company town, as well as how the Steinway mansion has been altered from its original construction. All of this and then after the break, we continue our reading series as Frobisher reads more from "Our Haunted Planet," by John A. Keel.
