Welcome to Episode 217: The Cursed Painting of The Crying Boy, featuring Tyler & Charlie of Believing The Bizarre! They say life imitates art, but what if the reverse were true? What if that unassuming piece of mass-produced art nailed to your wall could affect the very fabric of the reality around you? Could it even be possible for an inanimate piece of home decor to become imbued with agency, magic, or even, a curse? On this week’s episode of Let’s Get Haunted, we’ll be exploring the story behind a mass-produced painting that is said to have caused multiple tragedies around the United Kingdom in the 1980s. Join us as we uncover the secrets behind the cursed painting of “The Crying Boy”.

Episode 216: The Bizarre Disappearance of Alfred Loewenstein, Part 2 Apr 23, 2025

Show notes

Welcome to Episode 216: The Mysterious Disappearance of Alfred Loewenstein, Part 2! What happened to famed financier Alfred Loewenstein on July 4, 1928 as his plane passed over the English Channel and he disappeared from the aircraft? Could he have gotten confused when exiting the bathroom and mistaken the door to the outside of the plane for the door back to his seat? Could a 51 year old man with rheumatism open the door by himself as the wind and plane engines pressed air going hundreds of miles an hour against it? If he did somehow get the door open, why didn’t anyone inside the plane notice the noisy blast of wind and change in cabin air pressure? If he didn’t open the door himself, did he have help? Did Alfred commit suicide over bad business deals? Was he murdered over money, reputation, or something else? Or did something paranormal happen to him? Join us as we spiral out of control on this week’s episode Let’s Get Haunted as Aly & Nat seek to uncover the truth of what really happened to Alfred Loewenstein.

Episode 215: The Bizarre Disappearance of Alfred Loewenstein, Part 1 Apr 09, 2025

Show notes

Welcome to Episode 215: The Mysterious Disappearance of Alfred Loewenstein, Part 1! Born in 1877, Belgian financier Alfred Loewenstein would eventually grow to be the third wealthiest man in the world. By the time the roaring 20s rolled around, Alfred seemed to have everything going for him: a successful career, a beautiful wife, a healthy baby boy, and an enviable reputation as a cunning businessman; so when Alfred boarded his private plane on July 4, 1928 for a short flight from London to Brussels, nothing seemed amiss. However, by the time the plane landed, the Lowenstein Family would be embroiled in an international scandal the likes of which had never been seen before: somewhere along the short flight, Alfred would go missing from his plane after excusing himself to use the restroom, leaving behind a mystery as twisted and complicated as his years of business dealings. Was Alfred murdered? Did he commit suicide? Did he fall victim to a tragic accident? Or, did he somehow escape to start a new life elsewhere? Join us for Part 1 of 2 as we delve into this complex story full of zany characters, shadowy business dealings, and a missing celebrity.

Episode 214: The Bayesian Superyacht Conspiracy Apr 02, 2025

Show notes

On August 19th 2024, a 56 meter long superyacht valued at 30 million dollars sunk in a “freak weather accident” off the coast of Sicily. Among those who perished in the tragedy were several of the world’s elite and most powerful, including a tech billionaire who had recently been acquitted in a multi-billion dollar fraud case. Did the Bayesian superyacht fall victim to bad luck or was something else (or someone else) to blame?

Episode 213: The Hitchhiker Effect Mar 26, 2025

Show notes

Welcome to Episode 213: The Hitchhiker Effect! When billionaire Robert Bigelow purchased Skinwalker Ranch in the 1990s, he never dreamed that one day he would have taxpayer funding to study its paranormal phenomena, but that is exactly what happened. As scientists, researchers, and journalists flocked to Skinwalker to observe the otherworldly activity firsthand, they began to notice something curious: the phenomena were not confined to the ranch. Instead, supernatural entities such as orbs, UFOs, shadow people, and dog men began infiltrating the homes of some of the scientists. This curious activity would come to be known as “The Hitchhiker Effect”, and while it may seem unbelievable, it is very, very real. People of all ages, genders, races, and religions can become unwitting targets of the effect, and unfortunately there’s no known cure. Join us on this wild episode of LGH as we take you through the ins and outs of The Hitchhiker Effect, complete with first-person interviews!

Led by a fearless Ernest Shackleton, the goal of this expedition is nothing short of legendary: to be the first humans to cross the entire Antarctic continent and reach the South Pole! But what follows would be anything but expected. This is not only an unimaginable tale of survival and isolation, but it’s also a warning of supernatural phenomena that haunts the planet’s least populated continent, even today. Is Antarctica empty because of a harsh climate and lonely location, or is there something else more sinister keeping humanity away? Today’s episode will divulge all of The Shackleton Expedition’s findings- haunted survival records, ghosts, aliens, the occult, and even a Nazi conspiracy theory—this is one trip you will never forget.

Show notes

Welcome to Episode 211: Neanderthal on a Stick aka the Belarusian Bigfoot! Belarus is a landlocked country with a rich history and even richer folklore. Famous for its flat terrain with over 11,000 lakes and 20,000 rivers, the country is perhaps best known for its vast forests which cover about 40% of the nation. Inside these forests and bodies of water, a multitude of folkloric entities are known to lurk, such as: Leshy, rusalki, hartsuks, zheuzhyk, Lazavik, Zlydzens, and much, much more. But in August of 2012, a Belarusian man named Alexander met with something that left him altogether puzzled. Join us as we learn about the “Neanderthal on a stick” aka “The Belarusian Bigfoot”.

Episode 210: Yamashita's Cursed Treasure Feb 26, 2025

Show notes

In another chaotic (yet educational) installment of LGH, we get our fill of all sorts of haunted loot as we claw our way through the legends to search for lost WWII era gold! Join us as Nat leads Aly on a historical adventure to investigate a rabbit hole so deep it allegedly involves a dictator, a rogue treasure hunter, and even the CIA! This isn’t just another tale of shiny things waiting to be found- it’s a story of war, betrayal, hauntings, and a possible government conspiracy. Buckle the f up Haunties, because today we’re talking about *Yamashita’s Cursed Treasure.*
