    Episode 139: MKUltra Part 2:

    Send a text We are back this week with part 3 of the Friends Don't Lie Files, and Part 2 of MKUltra. After Operation Artichoke started many more secret operations took place across the US. And the number of people dosed without their knowledge and consent also exploded. From high ranking military officials, to hospital patients and prisoners, no one was excluded from being a test subject for the various chemicals the government wanted to test. And if someone wanted out of this project, as was the case with Frank Olsen, they were likely to take a jump out of a 13th story window, accidently of course.

    Send us a text On the night of September 1st 1969 dozens of people across Berkshire County had similar experiences. Many of them saw a large strange shape in the sky with lights. Some of them lost track of time, and the kids, well the kids had amazing experiences to tell.  Thought to be the first encounter of it's kind, this event has been debated by the residents of the area, and UFO enthusiast across the globe. Was this a true UFO encounter or a case of mass hysteria?

    Episode 137: MKUltra Part 1:

    Send us a text In this second installment of the Friends Don't Lie Files Ian takes us through the beginnings of one of the most infamous classified government experiments, and the one that is often mentioned in Stranger Things; MKUltra. After the 2nd world war, to avoid prosecution, many scientist from Nazi Germany fled to the US in what we would later learned was called Operation Paperclip.  From these scientist, and their previous experiments for the Nazis, the US started various experiments to see what chemicals they could use to control someone. This began the less well known Operation Artichoke, which would give birth to the more well known, and even more sinister, MKUltra.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MKUltra https://www.history.com/mkultra-operation-midnight-climax-cia-lsd-experiments https://www.britannica.com/topic/MK-ULTRA https://libguides.law.uiowa.edu/az/the-cia-and-the-behavioral-sciences-mind-control-drug-experiments-and-mkultra https://englishcuriosity.com/project-bluebird https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Artichoke https://crescent.evansville.edu/2024/11/11/project-artichoke-project-mkultra-amp-operation-midnight-climax-the-cias-citizen-based-testing-of-proposed-mind-control-methods/ https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/document/32719-document-04-artichoke-project-coordinator-assistant-director-scientific-intelligence https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-book/dnsa-intelligence/2024-12-23/cia-behavior-control-experiments-focus-new-scholarly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Blome https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/document/32719-document-04-artichoke-project-coordinator-assistant-director-scientific-intelligence https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/project-artichoke-unveiling-dark-pursuits-mind-control-nikhil-sharma-8uimf Support the show Thanks for joining us today!

    Episode 136: The Black Monk of Pontefract:

    Send us a text We are back with another poltergeist this week, this time in West Yorkshire England.  Said to be one of the most haunted houses in the UK, the house at 30 East Drive has had reports of supernatural activity being made about it since the Pritchard family moved in in August of 1966.  But even after the family left the activity did not stop, and now the new owner has opened the house to over night investigations. These investigations have given us a plethora of new reports coming in from the house, and even reports of something following people home to cause havoc on them there.  TPL EP 136 Source Notes: https://spottedghosts.com/30-east-drive-home-of-the-black-monk-of-pontefract/ https://ghostwatch.com/paranormal-report/poltergeist-activity/england/the-black-monk-of-pontefract/ http://www.30eastdrive.com/ Support the show Thanks for joining us today!

    Episode 135: The Nina Kulagina Story

    Send us a text In this first episode of The Friends Don't Lie Files we take a look at the real life Eleven: Nina Kulagina.  Born in raised in the Soviet Union Nina knew there was something different about her mother from a young age. But she had no idea she would also have this ability that her mother showed, telekinesis.  Nina joined the military at a young age but an injury saw the end of her military career. So Nina became a housewife and during that time began to hone her abilities. Then the Soviets got word of her special abilities during the Cold War and soon Nina became their secret weapon.  TPL EP 135 Source Notes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nina_Kulagina https://medium.com/timeline/nina-kulagina-spy-psychic-5644ac54066d https://psycnet.apa.org/record/1973-20106-001 https://buddhistsocialism.weebly.com/nina-kulagina-ndash-1960rsquos-soviet-psychokinesis-studies.html https://buddhistsocialism.weebly.com/nina-kulagina-ndash-1960rsquos-soviet-psychokinesis-studies.html https://jimconnors.net/interesting-things-with-jc/2025/11/25/1480-nina-sergeyevna-kulagina https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_War https://jimharold.com/the-strange-life-of-a-soviet-psychokinetic-nina-kulagina-ryan-sprague-writes/ Support the show Thanks for joining us today!

    Episode 134: The OG Hellfire Club:

    Send us a text One of the greatest, (in our humble opinion), season finales we have ever witness took place over the New Years holiday: Stranger Things. We have been fans of the show since the beginning, and it is one of the many things that led to the creation of this show.  Over the next few weeks Ian will take us through a few of the programs that gave inspiration to this iconic show, but first we wanted to give a little nod to the late Eddie, (yes we know he is a fictional character), and take a look at the original Hellfire Club.  Started by some of the UK's wealthiest and most elite men and women, the Hellfire Club has had many revivals through out the centuries. From Phillip Wharton and Sir Dashwood, to Dublin and the Whaley men, there have been several branches that have a dark and devilish past.  Episode 134 Source Notes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_and_Vulture https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellfire_Club https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Vansittart_(judge) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Potter_(died_1759) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Whitehead_(satirist) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellfire_Caves https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montpelier_Hill https://www.spookydublin.com/dublin-hellfire-club/ Support the show Thanks for joining us today!

    Episode 133: The Buga Sphere

    Send us a text In March of 2025 the sky fell in Columbia. Ok, it wasn't the sky, but something fell out of it. The Buga Sphere is a metal ball that landed in a field one day earlier this year and has taken the UFO community by storm. Believed to be hollow, but made of at least 3 layers of metal, this ball is said to give off a frequency. While test show it to be predominatly made of aluminum, there is an element of an unknown material. Test also show this thing to be old, older than many countries and cultures of today.

    Episode 132: The Yuki-Onna

    Send us a text Winter has finally arrived and with it so does our topic for today. In the snow covered hills shrouded by the darkness of towering mountains, Japanese citizens whisper of a figure so terrifying simply looking at her could mark the end. The legend of the Yuki Onna has many origin stories from all across the island that make up Japan but one thing remains the same, when and where she is seen, on snowy moonlit nights.
