  • 34.05 - MU Podcast - Truth Lurks in Shadows
    Aug 1 2025
    Despite the fierce efforts of skeptics to dismiss the supernatural, a persistent truth emerges: countless ordinary people continue to report chilling encounters with the unknown. In this episode, we explore unsettling tales of crisis apparitions, haunted landscapes, and bizarre energies that seem to seep through the fabric of our everyday world. From phantom hands that grope in the darkness to strange portals opening in suburban homes, the phenomena refuse to be ignored. We also delve into the enduring work of psychical researchers and examine the patterns behind these mysterious intrusions into normal life. Then, for our Plus+ Members, we uncover the strange histories of lightning strike survivors, individuals who not only lived through multiple bolts from the blue but were forever changed. Some report heightened sensitivities and psychic perceptions, while others bear physical anomalies, including one man who developed an inexplicable religious image etched into his back, a mark science has yet to explain.

  • 34.04 - MU Podcast - The Occult Wyrm
    Jul 25 2025
    The mystery of the Loch Ness Monster is far from settled. This episode dives deep into the legends and firsthand accounts of strange beings not only in Loch Ness but in surrounding bodies of water—creatures described as black-skinned beasts, spectral water horses, and other mythic entities that seem deeply tied to the land itself. Are these guardians of the landscape? Spirits of place? We revisit the curious investigations of Ted Holiday, whose search for the monster led him into a tangled web of high strangeness and encounters with dark, paranormal forces. Then, for our Plus+ members, we follow the remarkable journey of T.C. Lethbridge and his evolving research into the hidden energies of the Earth. After a powerful induction experience, Lethbridge claimed to glimpse what lies behind the veil—an invisible world that shapes ghost sightings, psychic phenomena, and even physical boundaries. His exploration of a haunted landscape led him to an invisible force field that defied logic and deepened the mystery of what truly haunts our world.

  • 34.03 - MU Podcast - Treading the Infinite
    Jul 18 2025
    In this episode, we dive into the radical theories of parapsychologist D. Scott Rogo, who suggested that many hauntings, abductions, and even poltergeist phenomena might not come from outside forces, but from within ourselves. Could we be unknowingly manifesting our own paranormal experiences? And what if some forms of mental illness or multiple personality disorder are actually cases of spirit obsession or full-blown possession? We also journey through the hidden chambers and forbidden tunnels of a world-famous institution, where ancient relics and human remains seem to stir with unrest. Staff and psychics alike report ghostly voices, locked doors opening on their own, and encounters with entities that cling to artifacts like shadows. Are these echoes of colonial violence, or the spirits of the dead refusing to be forgotten?

  • 34.02 - MU Podcast - Underground Hybrid Vault
    Jul 11 2025
    Eric Nanstiel lived an ordinary life as a graphic designer and single father. But buried beneath that normalcy were decades of terrifying experiences: glowing orbs emerging from closets, unexplained blackouts, and chilling encounters with beings that defy explanation. When his memories resurfaced they revealed a disturbing truth: a life entangled with non-human entities conducting invasive experiments, extracting genetic material, and showing him children he never knew he fathered. Who are they? Why do they hide underground? And what is their endgame for humanity? For our Plus+ members, we descend into the eerie folklore of Latin America, where tales of phantom black dogs and flying humanoid canines erupt from the shadows. Are they mythical guardians or manifestations linked to deeper, hidden forces? We explore their strange overlap with UFO encounters and uncover new threads in the global tapestry of high strangeness.

  • 34.01 - MU Podcast - Cursed Exposure
    Jul 4 2025
    Photography and the paranormal have always shared a strange chemistry—an eerie interplay of light, shadow, and the unknown. In our Season 34 opener, we venture deep into chilling accounts of cursed cameras that seem to bring death with every click, psychic photo séances where the dead imprint themselves onto film, and long-forgotten experiments suggesting photography may capture echoes of the past… or even the soul. From haunted Polaroids to Russian scientists claiming to photograph time itself, we unravel the unsettling history of spirit photography—and how it continues to haunt the present. Then in our Plus+ extension, we follow the trail into the neuroscience of DMT, exploring a controversial theory: have alien intelligences hijacked the molecule? With insights from Andrew Gallimore’s new book 'Death by Astonishment', we confront disturbing accounts of malevolent entities intercepting psychonauts, twisting ancient rituals into interdimensional traps. Could the veil be weaponized? All that and more in this new season’s unnerving opener.

  • 33.22 - MU Podcast - The Orphan Tulpa
    Jun 13 2025
    What if one of the most iconic characters in pop culture wasn’t just a fictional hero, but a living archetype, an entity with its own will, forged in the minds of millions and fed by the imagination of its creators? Legendary comic book writer Alvin Schwartz thought his time with Superman was long over. But when a mysterious seven-foot-tall monk appeared at his doorstep claiming to be a tulpa, Schwartz was thrown into a mind-bending journey through the strange borderlands of reality and fiction. The monk, calling himself Thongden, insisted he was real… and fading. And he needed Schwartz to keep him alive. In this season finale, we explore the metaphysical memoir An Unlikely Prophet, uncovering Schwartz’s hidden memories of psychic events, spontaneous channeling, and paranormal influences that began the moment he took on the mantle of Superman’s writer. We hear bizarre tales of supernatural inspiration involving Jackson Pollock, mystic paintings of Hindu deities, and even a Hawaiian shaman who claims Tulpa Superman once saved the islands from volcanic doom. Then for our Plus+ members, we dive into the chilling Soviet archives of anomalous underwater encounters—where submariners report collisions with invisible crafts, stone spheres ramming hulls, and USOs that defy radar and reason. We follow the trail of Russian researcher Mikhail Gerstein into lakes and oceans where strange entities dwell beneath the surface, including terrifying run-ins from elite “hydronauts” who may have seen things no one was meant to survive.

  • 33.21 - MU Podcast - The Shimmering Hunter
    Jun 6 2025
    While public interest in the unexplained continues to grow and topics like cryptozoology and UFOs become more mainstream, some phenomena still remain too unsettling to discuss openly. Among these are the chilling encounters with cloaked or invisible entities, shadowy beings whose presence is felt more often than openly reported. Countless eyewitnesses have described terrifying experiences of unseen figures seemingly watching, stalking, or hunting them. But what are these hidden predators, and why do their victims feel such profound dread? In this episode, we examine some of the most bizarre and unsettling encounters with these “Glimmer Intruders.” From hunters stalked by shimmering humanoids in the woods to homeowners confronting phantom intruders, we explore cases that challenge our understanding of reality itself. We discuss strange sightings that resemble the cloaking technology portrayed in the iconic film “Predator,” yet predate its release by decades, including unnerving personal accounts from across the globe. Then, for our Plus+ members, we step into the realm of energy healing and bodily mysteries. We investigate wild reports from energy medicine pioneer Donna Eden, including cases of bi-location during severe PMS episodes, phantom limbs possessing ESP-like awareness, and bizarre energy disruptions during deep meditative states. These accounts reveal the extraordinary abilities of the human body and mind, abilities science has yet to fully understand.

  • 33.20 - MU Podcast - The Fractured Self
    May 30 2025
    Few psychiatrists have ventured beyond the confines of Western clinical thinking. Dr. Ralph Allison was one of the rare exceptions. While treating patients diagnosed with multiple personality disorder, he began to encounter alters that were far more than psychological fragments. These were fully formed, autonomous entities with their own histories, intentions, and, in some cases, violent desires. Some existed to protect. Others sought total control. A few wanted their host dead. In our Plus+ extension, we explore the surreal world of bizarre hauntings, where shadowy dwarfs creep through bedroom doors, water-dwelling trolls stir beneath the surface, and mischievous gnomes blur the line between folklore and intrusion.
