OUT OF STATE | Exploring Atlantis: The Myth, the Mystery, and the Legend

State of the Unknown | True Stories of Paranormal Encounters and American Folklore

Join Robert Barber, host of Out of State — the companion series to State of the Unknown — for a journey into one of history’s most enduring mysteries: the Lost City of Atlantis.

First described by Plato over 2,000 years ago, Atlantis was said to be a powerful island empire of great wealth and knowledge. And then, in a single day and night, it sank beneath the waves. Was it a real place destroyed by catastrophe, or simply a parable disguised as history?

This episode explores the mythology, history, and modern theories behind Atlantis — from ancient accounts to paranormal speculation — and why the legend continues to haunt us today.

Perfect for listeners who love paranormal encounters, eerie stories, haunted history, and lost civilizations.
