  1. The Liminality Zone

    8 NOV

    The Liminality Zone

    At the edges of reality, paranormal beings exist; this concept is especially emphasised in the spaces of liminal zones—areas both figurative and literal that exist in the in-between. Throughout history, people have described all kinds of paranormal encounters with strange beings that not only haunt these areas but also thrive within them. We discuss reports of encounters with the entities of these regions, including gnomes, ghostly apparitions, and even strange mechanically powered flying creatures. Then, for our Plus+ members, we explore the unusual story of a man who had a childhood encounter with a pair of elf-like creatures that propel him into a world of high strangeness and unexplained mysteries. Who are these beings and what do they want? Join us on this episode to find out.

    Seduced by Strangeness

    In 1996, veteran UFO researcher Budd Hopkins published a report that would change the UFO scene in ways no one could have imagined. He described the saga of a woman seemingly abducted from her New York City apartment in the middle of the night and thrust into a world of stalkers, MIB-like men, and diplomatic mystery. No longer was the UFO phenomenon limited to rural locations or lonely roads; if someone could be taken from a bustling city, then no one was safe. But was it true? We discuss stunning new revelations suggesting that the story may not have been investigated as thoroughly as it should have and consider whether Hopkins may have been drawn in by the lure of crafting a more sensational narrative. Then, for our Plus+ members, we explore a series of strange mass hysteria events that may have a paranormal cause after all.

    Torsion Vortex Real Estate

    The ancient fields of England are filled with such history that they could be considered a haunted landscape. Of course, this is just a figurative term, but could they actually be haunted by architectural forms? In this episode, we explore the phenomenon of vanishing houses and discuss reports of stately homes that seemingly reappear out of the mist of time. What is happening there? Is it possible for a house to haunt a landscape, or are time slips responsible? Could some unknown energy be propelling witnesses into other dimensions, and if so, are beings and entities behind it? Then, speaking of strange energies, in our Plus+ extension, we discuss the Great Storm of 1987 and hear how it may have been associated with black magic, landscape zodiacs, and the legend of a crystal cave under the pyramids of Egypt.

    The Mutilation Psy-Op

    Since the 1970s, thousands of cattle mutilations have been reported around the world, each incident marked by bizarre and unexplained circumstances. Ranchers and researchers have been left wondering: who—or what—is responsible for these unsettling events? While many attribute the phenomenon to UFOs and alien entities, supported by accounts of strange crafts, glowing lights, and advanced technologies observed near the mutilation sites, there may be another explanation. Silent helicopters, laser precision, and the presence of military bases near these hotspots suggest a more human origin. Could these mutilations be tied to something unleashed in the aftermath of World War II? The possibility that these incidents are part of a larger cover-up—a secret more disturbing than extraterrestrial involvement—raises profound questions. For our Plus+ members, we explore the personal accounts of famed remote viewer Ingo Swann’s niece, who reveals the strange entities encountered during his otherworldly journeys and her own brushes with high strangeness.  Links Unsolved Mysteries - Mysterious Mutilations A Strange Harvest Cattle Mutilations In Australia The Cattle Files Glimpses of Other Realities Stalking the Herd: Unraveling the Cattle Mutilation Mystery Brain Trust: The Hidden Connection Between Mad Cow and Misdiagnosed Alzheimer's Disease Plus+ Extension The extension of the show is EXCLUSIVE to Plus+ Members.
