Horror beneath the Pyramids

About this episode

The episode explores a chilling story involving Harry Houdini and H. P. Lovecraft set under the pyramids of Egypt.

In 1924, the world’s greatest escape artist claimed he survived something no one could debunk—because it happened under the pyramids of Egypt. The story was so unsettling, it took H.P. Lovecraft to put it on paper. Today, we’re descending into Under the Pyramids —where history, horror, and Houdini collide. Under the Pyramids - Wikipedia "Under the Pyramids" by H. P.
