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.*
