In 1966, the bodies of two men were discovered on a remote hill
outside Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. They were lying side by side,
dressed in matching suits and waterproof coats. What made the
scene truly eerie were the lead masks covering their eyes, like
homemade radiation goggles and the cryptic handwritten note found
nearby:

"Be at the agreed place at 16:30. Take capsules after the effect,
protect metals, await signal, mask..."

The victims, Manoel Pereira da Cruz and Miguel José Viana, were
local electronics technicians with an interest in spiritualism
and scientific experimentation. But there were no signs of
violence, no clear cause of death, and no trace of drugs in their
system.

To this day, the Lead Masks Case remains one of Brazil’s most
baffling unsolved mysteries a story that has inspired decades of
speculation involving UFOs, occult practices, government
experiments, and everything in between.

In this episode of Mysteries at Bedtime, we follow the trail of
clues from the bodies on the hill to the theories that have tried
and failed to explain this chilling enigma.
