Summary

In late 2023, stones began falling on homes across Thailand, India, Zimbabwe, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Eswatini - flying through windows with impossible accuracy, striking family members, evading every form of surveillance deployed to catch whoever was responsible. The phenomena continued through 2024 and into 2025. The earliest recorded case dates to 530 CE, which means whatever this is, it's been happening for a very long time.

IN THIS EPISODE: From India to Zimbabwe to the Philippines, stones are falling from nowhere, fires are igniting without sources, and investigators remain baffled. *** Psychiatrists are scrambling to understand why AI chatbots are fueling delusions, hospitalizations, and even deaths in vulnerable users who trusted them as confidants.
