Was Princess Diana’s Death an Occult Sacrifice? | Ep 134
In this chilling episode of Cryptic Chronicles, I’m joined by my cohost Chillz as we dive deep into one of the most controversial theories surrounding modern history: was the tragic death of Princess Diana more than just a car accident?
We explore the idea that her untimely passing might have been orchestrated as an occult sacrifice—a ritualized event loaded with symbolism, secrecy, and hidden agendas. From the eerie location of the crash to the strange numerology and Masonic undertones that some researchers point to, we peel back the layers of conspiracy that refuse to fade with time.
Diana was more than just “the people’s princess.” She was a cultural icon, a force of compassion, and—some argue—a threat to powerful institutions. But could her death have been part of something darker, a symbolic act woven into the fabric of esoteric power struggles?
Join us as we unpack the occult theories, the political undercurrents, and the haunting coincidences surrounding one of the most shocking tragedies of the 20th century.

Giant Skeletons | Ep 132
From dusty 19th-century newspaper clippings and mound-builder dig notes to strange museum whispers and global folklore, this episode follows the trail of “giant skeletons” said to have surfaced throughout history—and asks whether these tales point to the long shadow of the Nephilim. We sift reports of oversized femurs and megalithic burials, track the biblical threads (Anakim, Rephaim, Watchers), and separate mythmaking, mismeasurements, and hoaxes from the few cases that still refuse to die. Along the way, we map how empire, religion, and early archaeology shaped the legend—and why giants persist in our collective memory like footprints in wet stone.
