In this special April Fools Day episode, we dive into a collection of eerie and unexplained mysteries tied to April. We uncover the bizarre 1897 airship mystery—one of the strangest UFO-adjacent stories from the late 19th century—before setting sail into the legend of the Ourang Medan and the mysterious Kaz II, two ships with stories as eerie as the open sea. Alongside these maritime and aerial enigmas, we explore key historical events in April, discuss what the month is nationally recognized for, and take a quick look at the curious origins of April Fools' Day. From high strangeness to historical oddities, this episode is packed with mystery and intrigue!
