Let's Get Haunted! Episode 210: Yamashita's Cursed Treasure
In another chaotic (yet educational) installment of LGH, we get our fill of all sorts of haunted loot as we claw our way through the legends to search for lost WWII era gold! Join us as Nat leads Aly on a historical adventure to investigate a rabbit hole so deep it allegedly involves a dictator, a rogue treasure hunter, and even the CIA! This isn’t just another tale of shiny things waiting to be found- it’s a story of war, betrayal, hauntings, and a possible government conspiracy. Buckle the f up Haunties, because today we’re talking about *Yamashita’s Cursed Treasure.*

you ladies look soooo slay in every episode 💜 i also feel like you guys have been like revisiting your roots in these recent episodes which i LOVE! we need more classic ghost stories, fun mysteries, GOLD TREASURE, DAVEY JONES, etc. thanks for another great ep!
Lol me moving to the video when I heard Nat talking about how fly she looks 😂💅🩷
Great episode and by all means get your bag, but please do read up on BetterHelp’s MANY scandals and controversies, and if possible, do not colaborate with them in the future
Omg the archer picture was so funny
The videos are dope, been listening since 2019 and I always love the video format! Nat’s setup looks like she’s about to drop the best fucking ASMR video
Treasure!!!
you guys are amazing! totally though yall had the other hair color.
I’ve been following you since you did monsters amonung us colab but never thought to put the voices to faces but nah y’all look like the fancast that the majority of the internet agrees should play you in a feature film series.
The Holiday Inn in downtown San Antonio, TX has one of those trap door type things. It used to be a prison and people would watch executions in what is now the hotel lobby
I have loved the video episodes so far. I’ve been listening since I listened to you all on the SP7 podcast back in the day so I can’t really say if I pictured you all looking different based on your voices.
Pleeeease don’t put personal hauntings behind a paywall 🙁 As a longtime listener since SP7 but also just a big podcast consumer, I seek out shows that have a healthy amount of off-topic banter in addition to the episode topic and I imagine there’s more people who value it than not. Don’t feel pressured to hide what makes your dynamic unique as presenters!
