About this episode

The episode explores the broader implications of the Lead Masks Case, revealing a network of dangerous experiments and mysterious occurrences.

What if the infamous Lead Masks Case wasn’t a one-off tragedy, but the final step in a years-long chain of dangerous experiments? In part 2, we pull back from the image of two dead electronics technicians on Vintém Hill to uncover a much bigger world of underground spiritist circles, secret ham radio messages, strange explosions near the beach, homemade electrical devices, and an earlier death that seems to mirror the case almost exactly. As the pattern widens, the story becomes far darker and more unsettling: not just a mystery about what happened that night in 1966, but whether the clues that could have explained everything were ruined by the investigation itself.
