On April 26, 1986, one of the world's worst nuclear disasters occurred in the Ukrainian city of Pripyat. There was an explosion caused by a flawed reactor design at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, which tossed massive amounts of radiation into the air. The city of Pripyat was evacuated, and a total of 31 people died as an immediate result of the accident itself, while as many as 500,000 were affected.


30 years later Pripyat has became a tourist attraction. The ghost town is still explored by visitors to this desolate city. Lore and legends surround the area, from ghosts, death cult like behaviors, and a strange ominous black bird that some believe to be the harbinger of disaster. Listen as our hosts break down all the legends and give their thoughts on each of these legends. 


The extended episode of our shows is EXCLUSIVE to our patrons. Marcus and Vic continue discussing legends surrounding Chernobyl. They discuss stories of secret soviet technology projects, misconstrued viruses, and stories of strange mutants in the woods of Pripyat.
