Ep 316: Mystery Solved! AMA 2025

 
TRANSCRIPT available ON REQUEST
 
“There is a lot and not enough going on regarding Amelia Earhart. We still believe that Bill Snavely has a very, very good chance of possibly having found her plane. And there are folks working behind the scenes to fund an expedition to that and working very hard to try to get more people involved who have deep pockets to go out there and answer the question once and for all.”
— Scott Philbrook
 

Description:

Alright, Astonishing Legends listeners, buckle up! In this special AMA episode, Scott and Forrest are answering your burning questions! We're diving headfirst into everything from the implications of sentient Tesla bots inheriting fortunes (and causing chaos) to the latest updates on the search for Amelia Earhart's lost plane. We’re also exploring listener questions and thoughts on future stories and the state of Astonishing Legends. We discuss the intricacies of researching paranormal topics, sharing insights into why some stories captivate while others fizzle. There are also several questions from curious fans about AL business. And delving into some of our own paranormal experiences, we share thoughts on the cases that have profoundly shaped our perspectives. So join us as we explore the strange, the unexplained, and everything in between, all thanks to the incredible support of YOU, our listeners! And Scott will be appearing with Rich Hatem in Washington, D.C., in just a few weeks! Going to be in the D.C. area? Get TICKETS HERE and check the Richard Hatem's Paranormal Bookshelf feed in the coming week for a sit-down he did with him about his 'Light in the Dark' Tour.
