Mel Waters called in to the Art Bell show in 1997 and described a “bottomless” hole located on his property. To this day no one has ever seen it besides Mel and a man by the name of Red Elk.

One half of the Brule River flows over a waterfall and continues to flow downstream until it meets Lake Superior, the other half pours directly into a hole and disappears. Where does all that water go?

Even more about the hole and a great video

New theories have been brought forward about the actual path that Flight MH370 took and the are even backed up by math. In this mini episode we talk about these new theories about the course of the plane and what they mean to the search.

Some of our Research:
The plane is in Pakistan
The course plot is wrong

Cryptograms

In the early 1800’s a hotel owner was entrusted with a locked box, when he eventually opened it he found that it contained 3 coded messages. The coded messages were supposedly described the location of a buried treasure. Only one of the cyphers has been broken. The answer to the others, like the treasure itself, has never been found.
