  1. Soul Snapping

    12/20/2024

    Soul Snapping

    Throughout history, new technologies have always sparked apprehension and suspicion. However, arguably none have done so more than the camera, at least from a superstitious perspective. Traditional cultures even believed these modern marvels could steal a piece of your soul. Folklore, perhaps, but could there be something to such a concept? In this episode, we explore this outlandish idea and consider whether, from an energy or new age perspective, cameras and the people who use them could actually take and capture energy from their subjects. If so, what implications could this have for our modern reality? Then, for our Plus+ members, we look at some of the most unusual forms of psychedelic exploration and consider the unconventional techniques for entering and maintaining a psychedelic mind meld.

    Truth Still Loading

    The truth remains elusive in the search for answers to the mysterious drone sightings happening all across the planet. Indeed, the reports seem to be intensifying, with eyewitnesses claiming encounters with multiple unidentified craft. We take a look at the latest reports and theories surrounding this sensational story, wondering whether the lack of information is due to incompetence or if something far more unsettling is occurring. From reports of drone "motherships" to holograms and even parasites, we embark on a journey into the madness in this episode. Then, for our Plus+ members, we venture into the Old West to hear reports of weightless humanoids, time gateways, the possible origins of Batman, and more!

    The Drones Return

    Recent unusual drone activity over New Jersey and other locations worldwide has sparked widespread interest in unexplained aerial phenomena. While this may seem like a recent development to many, themes of UFOs and strange aerial events have been recurring for decades. In this episode, we dive into these mysterious drone sightings and explore potential connections to high-strangeness encounters, including flying humanoids, winged creatures, and ghostly apparitions. Are these sightings the result of human-made technology, or is there something else at play, drawing attention for its own unknown reasons? Later, for our Plus+ Members, we investigate a series of extraordinary out-of-body experiences undertaken by a man venturing into the far reaches of the astral plane.

    The Crystal Mine Mystery

    Some stories of the paranormal are so outrageous that they seem impossible to believe. However, occasionally, a strange phenomenon comes along that, despite its absurdity, makes you pause and reconsider. In this episode, we dive into one such case as we examine the bizarre occurrences surrounding the Broad Camp Crystal Mine. With claims of levitating rocks, magnetized objects, glowing orbs, and even Sasquatch encounters, we question whether these strange events are evidence of the paranormal or something more mundane. For our Plus+ members, we shift focus to the fascinating topic of time expansion, exploring reports of people who have navigated life-threatening situations by experiencing the distortion of time itself.

    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.
