The Mummy's Curse: The Lost Tomb of Nefertiti Pt. 1 Oct 18, 2022

Show notes

More than 3,400 years ago, Nefertiti and her husband, the pharaoh Akhenaten, brought sweeping changes to their kingdom. Several years later, she suddenly vanished from the historical record.

Lieutenant Walter Haut’s Confession Pt. 2 Oct 06, 2022

Show notes

For years, conspiracy theorists probed and prodded the army’s official explanation for the debris they found outside Roswell. It’s hard to prove anything when you’re up against a machine as big as the U.S. military. But as the years go by, something shifts. The men who were on the base back then start to open up. Share details they’ve kept close all these years. None more so than First Lieutenant Walter Haut. The words he wrote before he died might just be the sledgehammer that cracks open one of the biggest conspiracy theories of all time. This episode originally aired on Deathbed Confessions.

Lieutenant Walter Haut’s Confession Pt. 1 Oct 04, 2022

Show notes

Could an unsealed affidavit reveal what really happened at Roswell? This week we’re sharing a special two-part episode from Deathbed Confessions on one man at the center of the mystery. First Lieutenant Walter Haut was one of a select group of people who attended closed briefings on the now-infamous UFO crash... Who saw the debris... Who for years after, would say very little on the matter. But Haut did have opinions of his own. Ones he recorded in a sealed affidavit, only to be released after his death. And if true, what he has to say could paint the Roswell incident in a very different light.
