Paranormal Palaver

The boys return to the (snow covered) cabin to kickoff 2025!  After offering condolences to a fellow Fortean, they discuss a disturbing development in Artificial Intelligence and the UK's "Bionic Girl".  LW shares a personal reflection on the late "Mama Kingcaid"--a sorrowful story with a clear paranormal moral--and elucidates on the myth of the jackalope! A close inspection of the Missing 411 phe...

LW and Aaron suspect the news has reached the apex of incredulity as a " silent" alien invasion takes place, Krampus roams our neighborhoods in search of naughty children, and a concussion leaves a young lady trapped in a two-hour memory loop. Oxford has also chosen their "Word of the Year".  Meanwhile, The Beast of Bladenboro is our CRYPTID OF THE WEEK.   Our attention turns to the darker side of...

LW and Aaron ponder humanity's interactions with Artificial Intelligence, a discussion that sparks a call for a PHILOSOPHICAL RENAISSANCE!

We also touch on ghosts before Sherri Brake joins us with over 30 years of paranormal investigations.   Prisons of the late 1800s and early...

A critical and baffling element in UFOlogy remains the omnipresence of the owl. Why are these birds associated with sightings of strange craft and unknown beings? Do they represent an archetype in the quagmire of the human psyche? How do they relate to the "hidden experience "? Researcher and experiencer Mike Clelland stops by to offer his astute insights in a special holiday conversation.   Check...

The Congressional Hearing on Unknown Anomalous Phenomena convened last week, with hopes the government will initiate Disclosure on UAP ASAP. But be it UAP, AKA UFO, IMHO, neither the FBI, CIA, DoD or any other ladle of bureaucratic alphabet soup will be forthcoming with the FYI any time soon. There will be no LOL as we examine the situation.   UAP Hearing https://www.youtube.com/live/kT2iWKZr0qA?s...

The "Aquarian Conspiracy" seems more like a saltwater fantasy, the "omega point" nowhere in sight as the world comes apart. Aaron and LW discuss this trend, as well as AA's psychic experience. The moment of truth arrives when he takes the Zener challenge!   Meanwhile, the lake surrounding Greer Island, Texas houses a hair covered, horned secret. Lyle Blackburn stops by to unravel this mystery as w...

Is technology leading us toward a future where telepathy and ESP will be accomplished synthetically? itelepathy?   ipsychics?

A tragic missing person case receives due attention, then we turn to the issue of critical thinking. Is your holler booger too harsh with the Ancient Aliens crowd? Is he not critical enough of Missing 411? Later, Aleksandar Petakov catches his breath along the trail of discovery and pulls up a chair to tell us about his experiences as a documentary film maker and explorer. Check out Mr. Petakov's...

Program Note: This episode was recorded prior to Hurricane Helene.   What really happened in the New Mexico desert in 1947? We turn to a surprise guest and a shocking theory, one born from solid research and nurtured with reason: though the human ability to reason may come into question. The answer terrifies perhaps as much as any extra terrestrial reality.    Have an experience or encounter of yo...

LW and Aaron celebrate their favorite cryptid! They begin with a scientific analysis of the evidence, particularly the Patterson-Gimlin film. But that's just the hors d'oeuvres! The party really gets started when Jeremiah Byron drops by from  Bigfoot Society  to share his experience in research and collecting eyewitness accounts.  Check out Jeremiah's Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thebigfootsoc...

Hurricane Helene devastated the South, and we pause to remember those who lost so much. A link for Red Cross donations is provided below. The respite from this disaster comes in the form of a wrap up of our UFO discussion, and a deep dive into Mothman. New information came forth at the recent Mothman Festival, and we revisit audio from an old friend.  https://www.redcross.org/donate/dr/hurricane-h...

How can we separate the wheat from the chaff in UFOlogy? Perhaps it's time for a showdown, a la Gary Cooper, with the one entity that might hold the answers. In the meantime, we recount the testimony of Kenneth Arnold and William Moore, gleaming insights from both testimony and disinformation. Then, Dewey Edwards joins us to discuss his latest book, 12 o'clock High: the Captain Thomas Mantell Jr....
