the beale papers

Join Shakin Shaner as he discusses his love for cryptographs and lost treasure. It all started with the 1980 ABC Weekend Series, The Gold Bug, an adaptation of Edgar Allen Poe's short story of the same name.

Join the adventure of looking for Captain Kidd's treasure. Shaner also talks about John Dillinger's lost case of cash, the $375,000 in gold on the Big Horn River and gets deep into the infamous Beale Papers. Is there $43 million hidden in a vault in Virginia?

MYSTERY: Today is the day that you address your fear of both ghosts and coded messages. The Entity is a challenging concept to behold but a very real poltergeist. The Beale Papers are a still to-this-day unsolved cipher that could lead anyone who can crack it to treasures untold. We discuss both.
