Ninjas Are Butterflies

What would it take for hackers to shut down America—and how close have they come? This week on Ninjas Are Butterflies, we dig into power grid vulnerabilities and the unsettling possibility of a nationwide blackout.

Then, before the world knew him as the Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski was a teenage Harvard student caught up in a controversial psychological experiment. Where does MKUltra enter the story? The questions only get darker.

Plus, the strange case of Teddy Kyle Smith takes us deep into the Alaskan wilderness, where a violent encounter and chilling local folklore leave plenty to unravel.

Cyberattacks, true crime, and unexplained mysteries, all on Episode 220.

In 1976, a film crew enters an abandoned amusement park and makes a horrifying discovery. In England, two mysterious stone heads are linked to terrifying encounters with creatures that shouldn’t exist. And when a missing boy returns home three years after his disappearance, investigators begin to suspect something is terribly wrong. This week on Ninjas Are Butterflies, we’re exploring three chilling true mysteries involving paranormal encounters, unexplained disappearances, and disturbing secrets. Some stories are scary enough on their own. These only get worse the deeper you dig.

What if the reason we haven’t discovered intelligent life in the universe is because artificial intelligence destroyed it? This week on Ninjas Are Butterflies, comedian Brian Bates joins the guys to explore a terrifying theory about the fate of advanced alien civilizations and whether humanity could be heading toward the same disaster. Plus, scientists have successfully grown living human skin on robots, and a mysterious laboratory incident in Russia raises disturbing questions about the next pandemic. How far has science gone, and are we creating something we won’t be able to control?

L.A. Marzulli is back, and this time he brought something with him that he claims is connected directly to the Roswell crash site. We dive into ancient structures, mysterious giants, hidden history, Roswell, and the government’s slow reveal of what it knows about UFOs. But L.A. believes disclosure may be leading toward something far stranger than anyone expects. This one goes deep.
