See You On The Other Side

Since 1997, nine college-age men have drowned in the Mississippi River by La Crosse, Wisconsin. Authorities have consistently said that it’s a result of the men getting too drunk, wandering into the river accidentally, and not being able to get out (or maybe going for a swim and it’s a “death by misadventure”.) It’s a case that’s close to our hearts because Sunspot has often played in La Crosse an...

Allison Jornlin from Milwaukee Ghosts once again joins Mike and Wendy as they start their discussion with what they’re planning on wearing for costumed for June 30th’s    first Asteroid Day  , hearkening back to their discussion of  “global-killers”, asteroids that would cause mass extinction events . But the big discussion this week is  Terminator Genisys &...

This week’s episode features Dr. Rebecca Housel, the Pop Culture Professor, who is an author, speaker, and professor of writing at Nazareth College. She’s written books like   True Blood and Philosophy   and   The X-Men and Philosophy  , in addition to being a panel moderator for Wizard World for several years.

With hundreds of film credits, horror icon Christopher Lee is listed in the  Guinness a Book of World Records as the most prolific actor in cinema history . With his passing last week at the ripe old age of 93 years old, it was the final act for an artist for whom retirement was never even an option. Most famous for his work as Dracula in the Hammer Horror films, Lee would go on to appear in...

It’s a special episode as this week we’re recording from on location at the  Milwaukee Paranormal Conference  ! Mike and Wendy combine forces with  Milwaukee Ghosts  ’ Allison Jornlin and  Madison Ghosts Walks  tour guide Lisa Van Buskirk! The event takes place at the Irish Cultural Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where a large chapel-like area hosts the main speakers...

Once again, Mike and Wendy are joined by Milwaukee Ghosts’ Allison Jornlin for a discussion on some upcoming web articles that Pope Francis is going to finally disclose that alien life has visited Earth and we’re going to make real first contact. Why Pope Francis and what does Catholicism have to do with extraterrestrial life? Well, the Catholic Church has been setting up the possible existence of...

Taking the Internet by storm this week, it’s the “Charlie Charlie” game! Is it really summoning a Mexican demon? Ummmmmmm, probably not, but that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have a fascinating origin and relationship to teenage supernatural party games. A little mix of the Ouija Board (which, don’t worry, will get its own show sometime soon!) to Bloody Mary,  “the pencil game”  started...

Mike went on a trip last weekend to California and decided to go down the path of some well-known spirits while he was out there, he read an article that said that the ghosts of Hollywood Boulevard had the most haunts per capita of any place in Los Angeles, well, he just had to check it out. Stop 1 – Hollywood And Vine At this famous intersection, it’s said that the ghost of Lon Chaney (the origin...

With notes of  The Amityville Horror  ,  Poltergeist  , and even the under appreciated (in Mike’s opinion anyway)  Dead Again  , Debbie Moffitt’s  A Deadly Haunting  is a tale of a California family under supernatural siege in the 1980s. The story begins with a supposed Santeria ritual performed by a Guatemalan caretaker in the house of Deborah’s grandmother...

The Zombie Apocalypse. The past decade has seen the living dead explode like no other monster. Vampires had a kick for a little while and ghosts had their due after  The Sixth Sense  , but really, zombies have been the focus of a dozens of movies over the course of the past decade and at least two TV shows currently running (including cable’s most popular show,  The Walking Dead. &n...

The Roswell Slides are on all paranormal lovers’ tongues this week as they get ready for a huge unveiling in Mexico City on May 5th. Well, to get ready for it, we’re going in on the grandaddy of all US UFO cases, the famous crash in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. It’s the story that’s been made famous by countless television recreations on shows like   Unsolved Mysteries  or&nbsp...

Joining Mike and Wendy today is Swan River Press publisher and author, Brian J. Showers. Brian is a college friend of both of them and left to live Dublin, Ireland in 2001. Since leaving, Brian has written several books and become a publisher of all kinds of Gothic ghost stories as well as an expert in Victorian Horror.

Joining Mike and Wendy today is Milwaukee Ghosts’ founder, Allison Jornlin, for a discussion about a Kurdish ethnic and religious group currently in the news for being attacked by ISIS, the Yazidi. You guys remember The Kurds, right? They’re the ethnic group who believes in women’s rights and is cool with democracy, basically they’re the good guys in the Middle East whom the rest of the...

Mike and Wendy start out the show with a quick discussion on how Mike is happy that they didn’t mention the   Twin Peaks  revival in last episode’s song about   The X-Files,  “Don’t Mess This Up” because now it looks like that revival is in jeopardy of not happening. After going through the definition of medium last week, they talk a little bit about the intervie...

The X-Files   was the breakout science fiction phenomenon of the 1990s. No other program captured the zeitgest of conspiracy theories, big government paranoia, alien abduction mythology, Gen X individualism, and post-80s seriousness as well as creator Chris Carter’s show, that on paper, probably looked like a ridiculous blend of  The Silence of the Lambs  and&nbs...

Channeling a spirit to write is an idea that’s probably as old as writing itself. Revealed text (revelations) have been part of our religious life for millenia, whether it’s Moses and the Burning Bush or Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon. Mike and Wendy open the episode by talking about famous channeling in history from Aleister Crowley’s Aiwass in the   Book of the Law  &nbs...

This week we bring you a special bonus episode, outside of our regular weekly release, because we had an exciting opportunity while en route to Austin, TX. After leaving Alton, IL (see  Episode 30  ), our next stop was Little Rock, Arkansas, where we had the pleasure of meeting and talking with local paranormal expert Linda Howell. Linda is the guide for  Haunted...

This episode is a See You On The Other Side first… a recording of a live event we did on location in Alton, Illinois, “one of the most haunted small towns in America”! As an added bonus, it was a special day for us because our band  Sunspot  released our newest EP,  El Chupacabra   . The three songs in the EP were all inspired by episodes of “See You On The Other Side” and&nbsp...

For a secret organization hellbent on guiding the future of the human race, The Illuminati doesn’t really do a great job with the whole secret part. Everybody knows about it, but a lot of people don’t realize that it started with an actual secret society in the 18th Century. Mike and Wendy Lynn are here to give you the skinny on the most famous of conspiracy theories. The conversation st...

FIRST, THE GOOD NEWS! Our band  Sunspot  will release a brand new EP on 3/17/2015, featuring three of the songs we wrote just for this podcast. We’re in the studio now working on it and pretty excited to finish up and get the final versions out for you to hear! On our way to the  South by Southwest (SXSW)  music festiveal, we’ll be making two stops for the first ever SEE YOU ON...

Today’s interview is with parapsychology mainstay, Loyd Auerbach. He really has been keeping the fires burning for the scientific study of the unexplained for four decades and his book   ESP, Hauntings, and Poltergeists: A Parapsychologist’s Handbook     was extremely influential on a young Mike (which is one of the reasons that he’s so excited about the intervie...

Today we interview Peter Bebergal, author of the book.   Season of the Witch: How The Occult Saved Rock n’ Roll  ,   which is a fascinating look into how the occult slipped into the mainstream through the music of the Baby Boom generation. Rock n’ roll created the perfect storm of the Beatniks interest in Eastern mysticism, the Animism roots of slave spirituals and&nb...

From Bruce Willis in   Unbreakable     to John Ritter in   Hero at Large     to everyone’s favorite madman Nicolas Cage in   Kick-Ass  ,   we’ve been watching     regular everyday human beings assuming the mantle of comic book superhero personas for a long time. But for some people, even those ficti...

Last week’s Johnny Depp Chupacabra attack as an excuse for being tardy to a press conference   was the inspiration for this discussion about a fascinating, elusive, goatsucking creature! This week we have a quick request: Since February is a month for LOVE, and we’d LOVE it if some more people would join our listener community, we’ve set a goal of getting 4 new reviews thi...

Here’s the second part of our interview with screenwriter and UFO investigator, Mark O’Connell. He and Mike talk about how Mark got into checking out reports of UFOs as an official MUFON (Mutual UFO Network) Field Investigator. He talks about the process of becoming a UFO Investigator as well as the cases that he’s investigated that struck him personally as the most unexplainable. Mark also bursts...
