2026/10/09
What happens when a photograph appears to capture a ghost? 👻
Long before Photoshop and AI, photographers were creating mysterious images that convinced people they had captured the supernatural. In this Halloween month episode of the Mystery Kids Podcast, we're exploring William Mumler's famous spirit photographs, the trial that challenged his claims, and the Cottingley fairy photographs that fooled even famous adults for decades.
Discover the real stories behind these spooky pictures and learn why a photograph isn't always proof of what we think we're seeing.
It's the perfect historical mystery for our favorite month of the year: Halloween month!

184:Ghost City/Forest City
2026/09/10
Forest City in Malaysia was designed to become a futuristic city for hundreds of thousands of people, but a combination of changing regulations, China's property crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic, and other challenges left huge portions of the development dramatically under-occupied. The result was a surreal landscape of towering apartments, beautiful landscaping, and unusually quiet streets that earned it the nickname “Ghost City.” But Forest City isn't actually abandoned, and its story is changing as new residents, businesses, and government-backed economic plans begin bringing activity back.

183: Nickajack Cave Rescue
2026/09/03
What would you do if someone was trapped more than 1,000 feet inside a flooded cave?
In 1992, David Gant became trapped inside Tennessee's Nickajack Cave with his scuba air running out and only a tiny pocket of air keeping him alive.
Rescuers searched for him, found an old map of the cave, and came up with an incredible solution...
They lowered the lake.
The water level dropped, giving Gant more air space and rescuers a better chance of reaching him.
After roughly 16 hours underground, rescuers finally heard his voice.
He was alive.

181: The Four Kids Who Survived 40 Days in the Rainforest
2026/08/21
Forty days lost in the Amazon rainforest. 🌿
In 2023, four siblings disappeared into the Colombian rainforest after a plane crash.
The oldest was just 13 years old, and the youngest was only 11 months.
For 40 days, search teams followed tiny footprints, found abandoned shelters, and searched through one of the most difficult environments on Earth.
Then, on day 40, they found them.
Alive. ❤️
Their survival wasn't just luck.The children's knowledge of the rainforest, lessons passed down through their Indigenous Huitoto community, and the determination of hundreds of rescuers all played a role.
This is one of the most incredible true survival stories of our time.
