About this episode

Aly and Nat explore the chaotic events of the Miami Mall Incident on New Year's Day 2024, examining the mix of panic, conspiracy theories, and paranormal claims that emerged.

Welcome to Episode 261: The Miami Mall Incident. On New Year’s Day 2024, an overwhelming police response at Miami’s Bayside Marketplace sparked viral panic, with witnesses taking to social media to claim everything from an active shooter to a portal opening and shadowy beings emerging from it in the middle of the mall. As videos flooded social media and official explanations struggled to keep up, the story quickly spiraled into a mix of conspiracy theories, alleged cover-ups, and paranormal speculation. In this episode of Let’s Get Haunted, Aly and Nat break down what really happened that night, from reports of fighting teens with fireworks and sticks to claims of aliens, Project Blue Beam, clout chasers, and even…ghosts in Greenland?? Was this mass hysteria fueled by dumb teenage decisions or did aliens really visit the 305 on January 1, 2024? Dale.
