We've hit 20 episodes! This week, Carrie is taking us through a mid-2000s internet mystery - that of LakeCityQuietPills.com.When the moderator of a sketchy sub-Reddit passes away in July 2009, a mystery is ignited. This moderator owned an image hosting site, "That Old Guy's Image Host", that supposedly served as a source for tawdry and pretty illegal photos of underage girls...but when internet sleuths start poking around in the image host's source code, a whole hidden world is discovered that just may involve espionage, secret military operations, possible assassinations--all the stuff you see in James Bond movies, but never hear about in "real life".Was "That Old Guy's Image Host" really a covert meeting place for spies and mercenaries? Did Redditors really discover a hidden plot to assassinate a Middle Eastern weapons dealer? And what exactly does the phrase "Lake City Quiet Pills" mean?Follow us down the rabbit hole for the story of one of the original Reddit conspiracies!________________________________________Connect with us on social media:Facebook: www.facebook.com/aintitscaryTwitter: @aintitscaryInstagram: @aintitscaryPatreon: www.patreon.com/aintitscary___________________________________________Thank you to our sponsors:BetterHelp - Special offer for Ain’t it Scary? listeners: Get 10% off your first month at www.betterhelp.com/aintitscaryAudible - Get a FREE audiobook and 30-Day Free Trial at www.audibletrial.com/aintitscaryBarkBox - Enjoy a FREE month of BarkBox on us when you sign up for a 6 or 12-month BarkBox subscription!
