Can you imagine what it would be like to be driving home one night, when all of a sudden your car is surrounded by this blinding bright light and as you struggle to keep conscious awareness, you look over and see the driver of your car is unconscious. With your last remaining consciousness, you are aware that your car is rising off the ground?. . . . Or you wake one night, bolt upright in bed. Onl...

When you hear the words \"The Men-in-Black\" some of you will immediately, in your mind,  hear that catchy tune sung by Will Smith. Or think of the movie of the same name. For some people however, the fact that a movie was created from real-life events and beings does not escape notice, particularly if you have had the experience of meeting such beings. These meetings sometimes, but not always, fo...

Imagine being 19 years old. In the US Military, a member of the military police force. In a foreign country. Your base is on lock down due to some unknown activity and you are assigned to guard the East gate of your base. Whilst doing so, you come face to face with something completely out of this world, literally. How would you cope at the time? What would you do afterwards? How would it affect t...

Hey everyone…. I know I’m supposed to be having a break! But really I have been busy working behind the scenes and am returning early as I have a very special guest interview for you all.

A little while ago I received an email from a listener in the United  States, his name was Rob. He initially emailed me stating that he had an  experience when he was visiting New Zealand, that he would like to  share and get my opinion on.  So, he shared with me a story of an experience  that he had with the Patupaiarehe – or the New Zealand Fairy folk,  during a visit to the Waitomo district ,  ...

Forestry is one of New Zealand\'s main export industries, and so we have many, many small and large crews working in the the bush, as we say here in New Zealand. Very often these work sites are deep into the forest lands and quite isolated from near by towns or cities. Some even hours of driving away. Their very geographical isolation causes these groups, who generally camp on the worksite in thes...

In the first part of Music of the plants, my guest Gary Cook answered a question a member of my   Walking the Shadowlands Facebook group had for him about the Patupaiarehe,  (the New Zealand fairy folk), from  his previous appearance on the podcast.

Imagine, you are a young woman, in your early 30\'s who has just faced a series of three life threatening strokes. So bad, that you have had to completely learn to talk again.

In this episode I take a close look at what have commonly become referred to as \" glitches in the matrix \" after that famous Matrix movie starring Keanu Reeves . These are experiences that have left people scratching their heads and wondering what just happened to them. With no logical explanation that can be found for it.  I take a very brief excursion into the world of holograms, and the holog...

Old buildings, deserted for many years. Or relatively new buildings, both homes and businesses, or medical institutions and even land, have been known to have ghostly inhabitants. Inhabitants that can scare and disturb the people who currently live, or work in these places.

Across the ditch in Australia, they are called...

Every country in the world. Every culture in the world, has their stories of unexplained monsters. Monsters that can be very dangerous to humans, malevolent, nasty. Also of others who are more benevolent, even protective of groups of people they see as under their care. But are these stories merely myths and legends? Or do they in fact, have a basis in reality? In this episode we explore a very we...

Ghosts, spirits, hants, poltergiest, specters, all names for people that have died, but for one reason or another chose to remain around this realm of existence.

Reincarnation.... Rebirth.... Soul Transmitigation.... Metempsychosis.... All words for a belief system that has been around pretty much since man was able to create records. But what is it precisely? Is it real? If it is, then what does it mean for us in this life? How would knowing this is real alter our day to day lives? Alter the way we interact and react with people around us everyday?  In th...
