Nestled in the picturesque Green Mountains of Vermont lurks a chilling mystery: the Bennington Triangle.  This week’s episode dives headfirst into the vortex of unexplained disappearances that have plagued the area for decades.
We'll explore the stories of those who vanished without a trace, from hikers and hunters to a young boy on a family outing.  We'll delve into the whispers of paranormal forces at play, from shadowy figures to strange lights in the woods.  But we won't stop there.  We'll also investigate the more grounded explanations, like the treacherous terrain, harsh weather conditions, and even the possibility of foul play.
Join us as we separate fact from fiction, explore the chilling legends, and grapple with the unanswered questions surrounding the Bennington Triangle.  Is it a haven for the unexplained, or is there a more earthly reason for these disappearances?  Tune in and decide for yourself.

In this week's episode, we're tackling a head-scratcher: transplant recipients who experience changes in personality, interests, and even abilities after surgery. It's fascinating, sure, but also a little unsettling. We'll be digging into real-life stories of people whose lives were transformed in surprising ways, not just physically but mentally too.
Is it just coincidence, or is there something more at play? We'll discuss the latest scientific theories, from cellular memory to energetic imprints, that attempt to explain this mysterious connection.  
Join us as we explore the ethical and philosophical questions raised by these experiences, and ask: when we receive a new organ, are we also receiving a piece of someone else's identity?

Do you ever get a gut feeling about something that turns out to be true? Have you had a dream that seemed strangely prophetic? In this episode, we delve into the world of parapsychology with Dr. Lawrence LeShan's groundbreaking book, "A New Science of the Paranormal."
 
Dr. LeShan, a renowned psychologist and pioneer in mind-body medicine, argues that science needs to broaden its horizons to encompass phenomena like telepathy, precognition, and psi (psychic abilities). We'll explore his thought-provoking ideas about the nature of consciousness and its potential to transcend the limitations of time and space.
 
We'll also discuss the challenges of studying these phenomena and the criticisms leveled against parapsychology. But is it possible that science has been missing a key piece of the puzzle when it comes to understanding human consciousness?
 
Join us for a fascinating exploration of the frontiers of science and the possibility that our minds hold untapped potential.

The Shroud of Turin has long fascinated both historians and the religiously devout. It is purported to be THE garment that Jesus’ body was wrapped in after his crucifixion. What makes it so strikingly unique and altogether baffling is the image of a mad seemingly burned into the fabric of the cloth.
The first record we have of the Shroud of Turin comes from the middle ages, and even since its earliest known days controversy has followed in its wake. Some believe “whole cloth” the Shroud was touched (literally) by the hand of G-d. Others, being slightly more skeptical, believe this was the work of a talented trickster.
The Vatican, along with a group of curious scientists, decided to radiocarbon date it and put any confusion and mystery finally to rest. Your interpretation of what happened next is likely going to be a result of your faith and background. Needless to say, rather than removing the unknown, the church inadvertently made the mystery of the Shroud of Turin much larger than they ever expected. Tune in and let us know where and when you think the Shroud originated.
