The Lead Mask Deaths | Perplexing | Ep.126

from Perplexed Podcasts · host Kate & Sarah

Send us Fan MailThe Lead Mask Deaths refers to a mysterious and unsolved case from 1966 in Niterói, Brazil, where the bodies of two Brazilian electronics technicians, Manoel Pereira da Cruz and Miguel José Viana, were found on a hillside wearing formal suits, waterproof coats, and peculiar lead eye masks. Near the bodies were a notebook with cryptic instructions and empty water bottles. No signs of violence or struggle were found, and toxicology reports were inconclusive due to decomposition. The bizarre circumstances, including the lead masks (presumed to protect from radiation or light), have led to widespread speculation, involving everything from scientific experiments and spiritual rituals to UFO theories. The case remains one of Brazil's most perplexing unsolved mysteries. Support the showThank you for listening. If you would like to see any of our videos and photos please check out the links below.
