The Devil’s Bible: What’s Hiding in the Codex Gigas?
A monk was sentenced to die. Sealed alive inside a wall for breaking his vows. But before they carried it out, he made an offer. He said if they let him live, he’d create a book that held all human knowledge. Bible, history, medicine, everything. One book. One night.
When he realized he couldn’t finish it in time, he prayed. Not to God. To the Devil.
The book was finished by morning.
This episode is about the Codex Gigas. The Devil’s Bible. A massive, real-life manuscript that includes scripture, spells, rituals, and a full-page portrait of Satan. For centuries, it’s been passed around, looted, hidden, and blamed for more than a few unexplained events. Ten pages were cut out. No one knows what they said.
The book still exists. And some people still think it’s waiting to be finished.

What Happens When We Die?

What Happens When We Die?
What really happens when we die?
Science says one thing. Spiritual traditions say another. And the people who’ve flatlined and come back? Their stories raise questions none of us are ready to answer out loud.
In this episode of 10 Minute Mystery, we pull apart the final frontier—not with conspiracy or certainty, but with curiosity. From documented brain activity that spikes after death, to near-death experiences that defy medical logic, to thousands of eerily consistent deathbed visions—this isn’t about what we want to believe. It’s about what’s actually being reported.
This is the mystery that connects everyone on Earth, whether you’re here for the science, the metaphysical, or the just-plain-strange. We’re not here to give answers. We’re here to ask the better question: What if death isn’t the end of consciousness, but the next unexplained phenomenon we haven’t mapped yet?
Whether you’re skeptical, spiritual, or somewhere in between, this one’s for you.

Missing in the Bennington Triangle: Paula Welden’s Last Walk
In 1946, Paula Jean Welden walked off the campus of Bennington College and into the woods wearing a red coat. She said she needed a walk. No ID. No money. Definitely not dressed for a Vermont winter. And then... nothing. She never came back.
This episode unpacks what actually happened on that cold December afternoon—and how a single missing person case exposed just how unprepared an entire state was. From confusing witness accounts to a man who maybe knew a little too much, we’re tracing Paula’s last known steps and the ripple effect of her disappearance.
It’s a story with no body, no confession, and no ending—but somehow, it still changed everything.
