EPISODE 32 | A View to Vril

Did a 19th century novelist accidentally tap into a long hidden truth about an underground race of godlike beings who control an electrical fluid called the Vril? Of course not. But that hasn't stopped plenty of folks from claiming it as fact, including Theosophists, Nazis, New Agers, a race car journalist turned UFO church guru and psychologist Wilhelm Reich (kind of).  Just to name a few.
