    Regardless of the originating culture, folklore is replete with tales of shape-shifting monstrosities and individuals morphing into werewolves or other half-man, half-beast creatures. But what about the more contemporary narratives? Is there more to it than folklore? In this episode, we look at these legendary beings and ponder Navajo encounters, the enigmatic stories surrounding Tasmania's thylacine, and even nocturnal encounters with gargoyle women in black. Our exploration takes us into the secretive realms of cults dedicated to summoning monsters, the occult dealings involving British intelligence agencies, shape-shifting witch cats, and a plethora of other intriguing encounters.
    For our Plus+ members, we investigate the controversial linguistic origins of the concept of the Aryans and explore their migration into the cradle of civilization in India, from which their influence radiated to the far reaches of the globe. We examine the intriguing connections between enigmatic stone towers, celestial constellations, and hear the theories of a man deeply fixated on phallus energies.

    The Program

    The Program

    The infiltration of our society by extraterrestrials is an incredibly controversial and indeed outrageous concept to most rational thinking people. However, there are decades of case reports that suggest something strange and disturbing is occurring right under humanity's nose. We discuss the research of a reluctant experiencer who suggests there is an infiltration of humanity, known as 'The Program,' and humans are running out of time. Our society is standing on the precipice of an alien takeover, and is there anything we can do?
    In our Plus+ extensions, we discuss the potential options to fight back as 'The Program' draws to a conclusion. Have the gods left us, and what are the spiritual implications of such a threat?

    Herbie's Revenge

    This week, we delve into the controversy surrounding the Nazca mummies. Are they genuine, or is this an elaborate hoax? Is there a subtler conspiracy at play here, or is it another instance of the mainstream media making significant errors? Later, we explore recent research on Terminal Lucidity reports and their potential connection to other extraordinary end-of-life experiences.
    For our Plus+ members, we continue our exploration of Terminal Lucidity, its relationship to Panpsychism, and take a look at the "mother of mindfullness" research. Additionally, we discuss how reprimanding your car or other inanimate objects could have deadly consequences!

    The 10ft Goddess of Liangzhu

    The 10ft Goddess of Liangzhu

    Encounters with interdimensional beings are rare in the annals of UFO literature, and such cases in the East are even rarer. However, there is one extraordinarily unusual case from China that defies explanation. We discuss the story of Hongqi Forest Farmer Meng Zhaoguo, whose encounters with a strange tadpole shaped UFO led to invisible weapon attacks and over 40 nocturnal liaisons with 10-foot-tall interdimensional space women! Despite the absurdity and changes in his story, some elements hint at an ancient advanced civilization that once thrived in China. Meng's travels into unreal realities will be explored as we delve into his experiences.
    For our Plus+ members, we will embark on a quest in search of Killer Apes in Florida and consider the reports of Skunk apes. Are they simply escaped circus attractions, or is there something far more paranormal occurring in the Sunshine State?

    Mothman Raids Again

    Mothman Raids Again

    The saga of the Mothman that descended upon a small West Virginian town in the late 1960s is legendary. However, many people believe the phenomena abruptly halted with the collapse of the Silver Bridge. The reality is that encounters with this enigmatic being continue to this very day, with people from all walks of life describing unusual, disturbing, and sometimes frightening encounters with Mothman and high strangeness. We take a look at some of these reports and delve into a recent documentary that explores these strange occurrences. These include strange burnt footprints, interdimensional off-world art connoisseurs, phantom phone calls, and much more.
    Then, for our Plus+ members, we explore the realms of controversial archaeology and discuss the revelation that the city of Sodom may have been a real location and consider recent discoveries that demonstrate it was indeed destroyed by an atomic-like catastrophe.

    Nkrumah's Gold

    Nkrumah's Gold

    In this episode we delve into the captivating untold story of a Ghanaian scammer who capitalized on post-independence chaos to weave a web of lies about missing gold, secret Swiss bank accounts, and a mysterious fund that held untold billions. Under the guise of releasing this fictitious fund, he swindled millions from unsuspecting investors, weaving a web of Cold War intrigue, global finance, and mythological entities. The story not only illuminates the audacious con but also explores the intricate relationship between deception and the shaping of history.
    For our Plus+ members, we turn our attention to a UFO outbreak in Israel during the early 1990s. What initially appeared as a standard UFO occurrence took a terrifying turn. Could warring extraterrestrial species have descended upon Israel during those years, and what were their intentions? We delve into the account of a man who claims to have discovered an unusual artifact that could hold the key to this mystery.

Well done

Over all , great! The only negative is sometimes they only give the ending to “ plus “ members. When you listen for a hour and they pull that 🤬

mollarthur ,

Fantastic!!!

These guys are the best!! From content to ability these two rock. Ben is such a great story teller and I love listening to them banter back and forth. They are hysterically funny and such intelligent conversation .They give a lot to think about. I’m very impressed with the video quality. Fantastic job as usual guys !! Love you two and look forward to every episode.

Painful

I try to go into anything with an open mind, but woo boy, you could teach a class on logical fallacies with examples of these two talking. It’s staggering. I actually believe these two are a government plant to discredit people who believe in this stuff because they come across as so detached from basic steps in reason. These two are a cia psyop to see if annoying laughter and talking absolute waffle can kill listeners. They must be an audio weapon.
