Episode 4: What Really Happened to the Lost Pope

👑 Did the Vatican once crown a woman as Pope? In this chilling episode of Paranormal Salad: The Crouton, demonologist and investigator JAX EMBER unravels one of the most controversial legends in Church history: Pope Joan — the mysterious figure said to have disguised herself as a man and secretly ruled the Catholic Church. 🕯️ From 13th-century Dominican chronicles to bizarre Vatican rituals like the sedia stercoraria (yes, the papal "chair test"), this investigation digs deep into forbidden archives, symbolic clues, and historical inconsistencies that still echo today. Was Pope Joan: A real historical figure erased by the Church? A symbol of female ambition in a patriarchal age? Or a weapon of religious propaganda used to shame or warn? 📜 Join JAX as he follows the whispers buried in Rome’s stones, the Vatican’s vaults, and the scars of history itself. Whether myth or truth, her story forces us to confront power, gender, and the danger of forgotten women in forbidden places. 🔍 New mysteries drop weekly — Subscribe now for deep dives into hauntings, heresies, hidden files, and everything the Church doesn't want you to ask about. 👉 Watch now.
