Hidden History with Dr. Harini Bhat

Fun fact: Did you know Jaws almost never existed because the shark kept sinking while filming? That is Connor Tomlinson just getting started. If that sounds fascinating, you are going to love Rewind Studios’ new podcast out now called WHAT THE FACT hosted by Connor Tomlinson and Carter Roy.

As we kick off Spooky Season, Harini is joined by Bobbie Curtis Lee of Oddities on Elm Street to talk about one of America's most haunted items. For over a century, a 40-inch doll named Robert has sat at the center of Key West's strangest story: blamed for car crashes, divorces, and streaks of bad luck that only end with a written apology. He belonged to artist Gene Otto, who gave the doll his own name, his own clothes, and eventually his own room... while his wife Anne quietly unraveled beside him. The haunting may be real, but the doll might not be where it lives.

Locked in Yale's Beinecke Library sits a 600-year-old book written in an alphabet that exists nowhere else on Earth: roughly 38,000 words across 240 pages of calfskin, and not one sentence has ever been verified as translated. Emperors paid fortunes for it, the codebreaker who cracked Japan's WWII cipher gave up on it, and supercomputers have made no progress. The evidence is complete and fully photographed... so why can't anyone read it?

In November 1966, four witnesses driving through an abandoned munitions plant outside Point Pleasant, West Virginia reported a towering winged figure with glowing red eyes... and sightings continued for thirteen months. Then, on December 15, 1967, the Silver Bridge collapsed into the Ohio River during rush hour, killing 46 people. The creature was never seen again. This episode examines the scientific, historical, and supernatural explanations for what people saw, and how a real community tragedy became one of America's most enduring cryptid legends.

On the night of March 13th, 1997, thousands of Arizonans watched a massive, silent V-shaped formation of lights drift slowly across the entire state, from Nevada to the Mexican border, with no official explanation for hours. The event split into two distinct incidents, each with its own evidence, its own witnesses, and its own stubborn questions that remain unresolved nearly thirty years later. From a governor who changed his story to the one amateur astronomer who put a telescope on the lights, every clue points somewhere different.
