There's lots and lots of mysteries n the world, and many of them will remain mysteries. But there are corners of the internet designed to do something about it. This week, we discuss some mysteries solved by the sleuths of the internet. And also we talk about a poop knife. Can't make this stuff up.

This episode is all about Charles Bonnet Syndrome, a very strange visual phenomenon most people will never see and even we can barely imagine. It's possibly very common, but little discussed, and it's pretty freaky. Here in the not no gnome zone, which we know you know is what it's called because that's what we're always calling it, we dive deep into the mind for another Goose Chase!

On our first episode of 2018, with a fresh year ahead of us and a bit of reflection behind us, we thought it appropriate to dwell a bit on complete nuclear disaster. In this case, particularly, the Fukushima reactor in Japan that went into meltdown in 2011 (yes, we know, it seems longer ago than that). Legends tell that it's so intense, it's frying up robots and they're still not able to get close to it. We look into nuclear past and present, and talk about the causes behind the disaster. The same power source that might save humanity is also incredibly fragile when you're not careful.

Today we talk about Landmark Forum. You might have heard of them: They promise to use some kind of technology to make you the best possible you that you can be, for a nominal fee of something like six or eight hundred bucks. What's that? ...No, you're thinking of Scientology. These guys are TOTALLY different. We look into the group's foundings, its history, its much maligned founder, and toss a nod to WikiLeaks who shows up here in the last minute to save the day.

Dr. Oz is the face of daytime TV, with a highly popular show centered around medicine, a spinoff show, several best selling books and a handsome, likeable demeanor. So what's our beef with him? Well, the more you look into Oz, the more concerning some of his programming and activities are. We dig into Dr. Oz' life and work, claims, endorsements, and appeal in this week's goose chase. And then we're going to Wendy's.

This week we talk about an Ohio twist on an original monster classic: The Ohio Grassman! The legends of yetis, bigfeetses and other cryptics have made their way to the Buckeye state and some of the tales are pretty strange. Light on information, but strange nonetheless. Do we believe. Man, do we want to.

This week we look into the creepiest, cultiest little self help group you've never heard of. NXIVM (yeah, that's really how they spell it) aims to take humanity to its highest potential through kinda vague "technologies" and hours of coursework. It also wants to burn itself into you literally and figuratively, all fronted by its disturbingly charismatic founder and leader.

This week we talk about Tom DeLonge, who's making a name for himself all over again with a lot of very, very curious UFO claims and a startup company that might take us into space. Or will it? We don't know for sure, but we tried our best to find out. This week: Aliems!

Tonight we talk about some green people of the past, which you may be surprised to find is actually a thing! Unless it's not: jury's out on this, but we have our suspicions, and we lay them out here. Featuring a bonus mini greenie goosie chasie.

...then boy, we got another one for you. This week, we discuss the infinitely tragic story of Geli Raubel, Adolph Hitler's half-niece and the most deserving owner of the title A Series of Unfortunate events. Fair warning, this story is dark and might contain a lot of really upsetting material, so don't say we didn't warn you.
