Havana Syndrome
from UNEXPLAINED
In 2016, inside the US Embassy in the Cuban capital city of Havana, American diplomats and their families begin to hear a sound that cannot be explained. Some of those exposed develop symptoms that affect their senses and cognitive abilities. One by one, those exposed report what they’re experiencing to the Embassy’s medical staff — professionals trained to handle tropical illnesses, environmental hazards, even covert surveillance stress. But this was something else entirely. Their tests show injuries… but no cause. Their patients are suffering… but from what could not be identified. As the reports multiply, a pattern emerges. A pattern too consistent to ignore. Too targeted to dismiss. Too alarming to explain away. And slowly, an unimaginable truth begins to take shape. American citizens, living and working in Havana, are under attack.CREDITShttps://www.cbsnews.com/news/havana-syndrome-device-what-to-know/https://www.healthline.com/health/havana-syndromehttps://www.medicinenet.com/what_is_havana_syndrome/article.htmhttps://uppbeat.io/ (sounds and effects)https://www.vice.com/en/article/havana-syndrome-podcast/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbfFmcqjQpkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SWkBCVAOoghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghdLfQsztBohttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/nesaINivDzAhttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/u6-PafO6ZNkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kishG-Czedohttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/6GWb48xdGawAlthough every effort is made to ensure that the episode is researched and accurate we cannot guarantee the complete contents is entirely factually correct, and AI tools maybe used to enhance the dramatization of episodes.
