The Philadelphia Experiment

from Strangeology · host Strangeology Podcast

In this edition of the Strangeology Podcast, we dive deep into one of the most chilling conspiracy legends of the 20th century: the alleged 1943 naval experiment that supposedly made United States naval vessel vanish, teleport, and possibly tear open the fabric of time itself. This is the story of the Philadelphia Experiment. From whispers of secret military technology and electromagnetic invisibility to the bizarre claims of a man claiming to have been there, and wound up jumping through time, to the nightmare stories of sailors fused to steel. This is a story where science, paranoia, and the impossible collide. Was it all a hoax, a misunderstanding, or evidence that something truly unnatural happened in the waters near the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard?-----Be sure to check out our website, strangeology.com and be sure to sign up to our newsletter!Also give us a follow for daily updates and goofy memes over at Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Threads, and TikTok and subscribe to the Strangeology YouTube Channel!Help support the show by becoming a member over on our Patreon for membership perks like bonus content and more!If you love cryptid & alien merch like t-shirts, hoodies, stickers and mugs, check out our Etsy merch shop which helps me out a lot to help keep Strangeology running!Please send all business inquiries, stories and feedback to [email protected] listeners who have encounter stories. you can also call the Strangeology hotline at ‪(802) 448-0749Want to send me a fan mail?Please send any regular mail/letters to:StrangeologyPO Box 681Barre, VT 05641Send parcels to this address:Strangeology3 South Main Street #681Barre, VT 05641-0681Transition Tracks & Intro/Outro Music licensed by Epidemic SoundSupport this podcast by donating on paypalBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/strangeology--6216321/support.
