    The Strange World of Genius Animals

    Welcome to Mysterious Universe season 36 episode 09! Today we investigate the strange world of genius animals of the most impressive calibre: Wizard Pets that earn their keep in life… and in our hearts. From mathematically inclined K-9s, to prophetic pups, to exceptionally conversational horses with a lot to say, including, but not limited to, where to find the bodies of dead loved ones. For our Plus+ extension, we go headfirst into The Shining Island by Jason Quitt. Jason does a masterful job of tracking the myths and legends of Plato, Egypt, and more into a picture of what Atlantis might be...or rather might not be. Join us as we examine everything from primordial water, the Axis Mundi, to infinity & beyond.

    Free-Running | The Human Clock

    Welcome back to MU! This week we take a look at Why Time Flies by Alan Burdick and find out that even “official” time is a negotiated average built from clocks around the world. Then we move into the story of Michel Siffre, who removed himself from daylight, clocks, calendars, and ordinary human routine, and his cave experiments reveal just how quickly the body's internal rhythms can drift when they're cut loose from the outside world. Welcome to your Plus+ Extension, and thank you all for joining us on Plus+! Animals, along with all living things, are affected by cosmic rhythms and celestial cycles. Snails and crabs live by the tides, even in laboratories nowhere near the ocean. Cats with internal clocks that can be adjusted on command. Disappearing dogs that return without fail every Christmas. Biological clocks are nature's timing systems here to help regulate the behavior of all forms of life. From the simplest organism to man himself, and do so quite efficiently. Today we enjoy the 1970 book The Strange World of Animals and Pets by Vincent and Margaret Gaddis. Dedicated to all the pets, who rule us with an iron paw.

    Strange Powers of the Mind

    Welcome to Mysterious Universe Season 36, episode 07! Today we dust off a 1968 banger written by Warren Smith to investigate some strange cases of some strange powers of the mind. From unheeded premonitions that should have been heeded, to a Yogi burying himself in the outfield of a baseball game that is played in full, only to be dug up at the end of the game, just a little parched. Including, but certainly not limited to, a remarkably perceptive mentalist detective who solves an impossible quadruple murder case in Canada. For our Plus+ extension, we conclude the amazing journey through Spontaneous Human Combustion by Jenny Randles & Peter Hough. We take a look at more electrical possibilities including atmospheric effects, individual biology/chemistry, and some final thoughts on what this odd phenomenon could possibly be.  Strange Powers of the Mind by Warren Smith  Count Ostoja Rises from his Grave Spontaneous Human Combustion LinksPlus+ ExtensionThe extension of the show is EXCLUSIVE to Plus+ Members.

    The Human Torch - Spontaneous Human Combustion

    Welcome back to MU! Today we bring a collection of some of the strangest spontaneous human combustion cases on record, from victims reduced almost entirely to ash in otherwise untouched rooms to survivors who claimed flames seemed to erupt from nowhere. Along the way, the cases pull in fire science, the wick effect, strange electrical phenomena, and more as we wade through this great selection of craziness from Jenny Randles & Peter Hough. Welcome to your Plus+ Extension and to the final installment of our Visitors from Within Saga, part 06 - Changing the Abduction Experience. This has been quite a ride and we thank you all for joining us for this epic adventure through the mind of a hive mind as we are given some insider tips about changing the abduction experience, as and while it is happening. Germain steps up to our trance channel, Lysaa, to deliver us the tools needed for empowerment in what seem like helpless situations and offers us greater innerstanding about ourselves more than anything else… which is possibly the purpose of this wild realm we find ourselves growing in.

Then in Plus+, we continue with Alien Lives Matter and ancient astronaut researcher W. Raymond Drake, who argued that the gods of Greece and Rome were real flesh-and-blood beings whose history became mythology.

    Visitors From Within - Extraterrestrial Encounters and Species Evolution - part 01

    Welcome to Mysterious Universe Season 36 episode 03! Today, we take a deep breath and entertain that which we have many a time maligned with a look at the work of Lyssa Royal and Keith Priest with their book, Visitors From Within. Though we are skeptical, that skepticism is harmonized with a keen awareness of the variety of freaky woo woo found around us, and the stone-cold fact that all sides of a story doth make’th a story, not just the one we emotionally prefer. In our Plus+ extension, we continue the wild stories from Jerome Clark’s 2000 book Extraordinary Encounters. From the bizarre case of a UFO-less Gray encounter at a motel, to mince pie stealing entities, and finally a well-known case of nude Venusians evading the camera, we wrangle the weirdest of tales for our elite Plus+ members!

    Other Planets & the Universal Human

    Welcome back to MU! In our continuation of Emanuel Swedenborg's works, he claims that for years he spoke with spirits from Mercury, Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, Venus, the Moon, and even worlds beyond our solar system. We follow his incredible cosmic travelogue, exploring how each civilization lives, worships, and contributes its own unique role in what he called the "Universal Human"...his vision of a living, inhabited universe, unlike anything else written in the 18th century. Welcome to your Plus Extension and thank you for joining us on Plus+! Today we happen upon some freaky happenings on, in, and around the strange area of a ceremonial county in Northwest England known as Lancashire. The Woo Woo concentrated in the area was enough for Author Terrence W. Witaker to fill a book with. This charming 1980 release is populated with priest holes, stacks of murders and therefore stacks of ghosts, unscrupulous Boggarts and, of course, screaming skulls that come included with the purchase of your new manor.
