I experimented a ton on this episode, so tell me what you think. In any case, what if I told you there is seemingly legitimate evidence that suggests that humans did not evolve on Earth? In this episode, we are going to explore the work of Dr. Ellis Silver and his alternative view of the human narrative.  Is it possible Earth is some kind of prison planet for us? Perhaps we crash-landed here eons ago and never were able to leave. What about human biology could even make someone think something so ridiculous at a surface level? Well, things are r...

The Serpent V.S. The Eagle: Anunnaki Wars | Episode 102
08/02/2024

This episode is all about the Anunnaki gods Enki and Enlil dueling it out through ideological influence over human civilizations throughout history. The researchers have roughly defined humanity into two groups: Eagle humans and Enki humans. These ideologies are in opposition to each other, but there is still a lot of overlap.

03/21/2024

As requested by listeners, here is an episode covering the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus. This is a large topic to cover, so it will take me a few episodes to do so. Not really sure just how many episodes it will take, but we'll see. For Patrons, you'll notice that I rushed this episode out pretty quickly, and that's because I only edited this in three days instead of two weeks just to get you some quick content because I feel like I've been taking too long. The quality is lower, but you probably don't mind because it's not BAD...

The Dark Fleet | Episode 87
08/22/2023

The Dark Fleet is fascinating lore about alternative history, secret space programs, and the influence of aliens on World War 2. Everyone knows the story of how WWII ended. The bad guys were defeated, and their leader deleted himself in his bunker as the Communists pushed in to conquer Berlin fully. That's it, end of the road, the enemy defeated—end of the story. But what if there was more to this story? And what if the alternative narratives are super weird? Then it sounds right up Cryptic Chronicle's alley. Join me as we delve into these bizarre claims of alien cl...


The CIA Classified Coming Cataclysm | Episode 87
07/28/2023

I was in the middle of moving when I recorded this episode six months ago, so the quality is not that great. Moreover, I am releasing it without any ads or self-promotion for that reason. In the 60s, the leading geologist of the time, Chan Thomas, wrote a document called "The Adam and Eve Story," which was then swiftly swooped up by the CIA and not only banned but officially "classified." The document was heavily redacted and censored when it resurfaced in the early 21st century. What could have caused the CIA to take this document so seriously? Well, let's...

He targeted such agencies as the CIA, FBI, Pentagon, Air Force, Army, Navy, NSA, DIA, and countless others. Greenewald utilized the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to gain access to more than two million pages of documents. This archive includes information relating to UFOs, the JFK Assassination, chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons, and top-secret aircraft. He took the millions of pages and, over two...

In this episode, I'm joined by Doctor Dingus and Malacor V, who are other oddity podcasters, and we have a conversation about serial killers. If you got a weak stomach or are influenced by disturbing things, then skip this episode. Listener beware. There is also a bazillion F-bombs, so to say this episode is explicit is an understatement. You've been warned. What is it that fascinates people about serial killers? They seem to be a big part of the culture of countries worldwide, with their influence here in America being prominent in the entertainment industry as well. The media has...
