In another chaotic (yet educational) installment of LGH, we get our fill of all sorts of haunted loot as we claw our way through the legends to search for lost WWII era gold! Join us as Nat leads Aly on a historical adventure to investigate a rabbit hole so deep it allegedly involves a dictator, a rogue treasure hunter, and even the CIA! This isn’t just another tale of shiny things waiting to be found- it’s a story of war, betrayal, hauntings, and a possible government conspiracy. Buckle the f up Haunties, because today we’re talking about *Yamashita’s Cursed Treasure.* TIME STAMPS 00:00:00 - INTRO 00:04:30 - THE LEGEND OF YAMASHITA’S GOLD 00:14:05 - BLISSY AD 00:16:19 - OPERATION GOLDEN LILY 00:27:04 - REMI AD 00:30:36 - YAMASHITA’S SURRENDER 00:38:28 - TREASURE HUNTERS 00:46:02 - BETTER HELP AD 00:48:27 - ROGELIO ROXAS 00:54:10 - NUTRAFOL AD 00:57:18 - THE GOLDEN BUDDAH SAGA 01:10:14 - THE MARCOS FAMILY WEALTH 01:14:41- THE CURSE 01:18:00 - GOVERNMENT CONSPIRACIES AND COVER UPS 01:30:11 - FINAL THOUGHTS AND THEORIES 01:32:00 - DONOR SHOUTOUTS AND SECRET PASSWORD THIS EPISODE IS SPONSORED!!
