Colin Dickey is one of American Hysteria's biggest influences—our episodes called Talking to the Dead and Alien Abductions relied on his books Ghostland: An American History in Haunted Places and The Unidentified: Mythical Monsters, Alien Encounters, and Our Obsession with the Unexplained. His newest piece is called Land of Delusion and it explores two new bizarre conspiracy theories that center around secret societies and buried histories. We’ll talk about the conspiratorial tales we keep telling and how we address this increasingly disturbing Land of Delusion.Try Scribd now to get Colin Dickey's Land of DelusionFind more of Colin's work hereJoin our Patreon!Produced by Miranda ZicklerSound design by Clear Commo StudiosHosted by Chelsey Weber-Smith Learn more about your ad choices.
