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.

The idea that invisible entities share our world is unsettling enough, but what if some of them dwell in ancient trees, ready to unleash devastating consequences on those who violate their sacred domain? Around the world, countless cultures don’t just believe this, they act on it. In this episode, we uncover eerie tales of tree spirits and vengeful fae, revealing that belief might not even matter. Disrespect their woodland homes, and the punishment can be swift and deadly.
Then, for our Plus+ members, we follow the transformative ayahuasca journey of a man who uncovered a disturbing karmic loop and otherworldly truths, shedding light on reincarnation, spiritual upheaval, and the hidden forces quietly directing our lives.

Can unseen forces truly take hold of a human life? In this episode, we explore disturbing phenomenon of spirit possession — not just as religious dogma or psychiatric diagnosis, but as a real-world enigma that challenges both science and faith. While some cases can be dismissed, others present undeniable signs: levitation, supernatural strength, bizarre skin markings, and personalities that emerge with impossible knowledge.
We examine the terrifying case of Maurice Theriault, whose possession was caught on video, and revisit the diary that inspired The Exorcist, revealing a world where invisible entities — the so-called “Mutated Ghosts” — may be infiltrating the vulnerable. Are these truly demons, or something far more deceptive?
Then, in our Plus+ extension, we follow a chilling encounter involving a well-known paranormal researcher and a shape-shifting Native American spirit. What begins as a dreamlike connection escalates into an abduction story laced with ancient trickster lore, fractured reality, and dark intent.

When is a dream just a dream? Could recurring visions of a futuristic Tokyo—one with neon-lit skyways, android garrisons, and flooded shopping malls—be something more? This week, we look at the extraordinary story of a woman who’s been visiting the same future city since early childhood. Through years of out-of-body experiences and strange astral journeys, her vision of this place became increasingly vivid, consistent, and shockingly detailed. But everything changed when a friend revealed she’d been dreaming of the same exact world. Is this a shared hallucination, a soul memory, or a glimpse into a parallel incarnation? And what does it mean when a shaman tells you… your soul is missing?
Then for our Plus+ Members, we unravel a bizarre tale of astrology parties gone wrong, tarot reader curses, and a chilling explanation rooted in the ancient concept of ether. We explore how curses might propagate through a spiritual substance, and how paranormal phenomena could be supercharged by emotional trauma, magnetic fields… or bad wine and a few too many crystal balls.

The mystery of cattle mutilations continues to baffle even the most seasoned researchers, with no clear answers despite decades of investigation. While some high-profile cases grab the headlines, it’s often the lesser-known incidents that reveal the strangest and most telling patterns. In this episode, we head to a remote farm in North Dakota to examine a chilling series of events that may be one of the most compelling links between UFO activity and humanoid mutilators. Reports include strange aerial lights, triangle-shaped craft emitting bendable beams, scorched livestock, and a teenage eyewitness who claims to have confronted—and shot—an entity in a gleaming metallic suit. We also revisit the eerie recurrence of silver-suited beings in both modern UFO lore and folkloric accounts, and uncover one of the wildest mutilation stories we’ve ever heard.
Then for our Plus+ members, we dive into the surreal world of fictional incursions. What happens when characters imagined by authors begin to appear in real life? Drawing on Joshua Cutchin’s latest work, we explore thoughtform manifestations, haunted writers, and creative entities that may have minds of their own.

This week, we uncover a series of chilling encounters that blur the boundaries between alien abduction and ghostly haunting. From the UK’s strangest archives, reports emerge of shadowy beings invading bedrooms, missing time linked to fog-shrouded roads, and apparitions mingling with classic extraterrestrial phenomena. Are these entities disguising their true nature? Or are hauntings and abductions just different masks of the same force? We also dive into cursed waters, haunted shipwrecks, and bizarre underwater apparitions before exploring prophetic trolls, disinformation hoaxes, and ancient apocalyptic predictions in our Plus+ extension.

A wave of viral speculation has swept across social media following claims by an Italian research team that new satellite-based radar technology has revealed vast hidden structures beneath Egypt’s Giza Plateau. Enormous underground cylinders, spiral shafts, and five mysterious chambers allegedly lie beneath the Pyramid of Khafre—some even linking them to the legendary Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean. But does the data hold up under scrutiny? And where is the promised evidence?
We break down the wild claims, the strange cast of characters, and the very real science behind the tech—while asking: is this a revolutionary discovery… or just another echo from the esoteric fringe?
Then in our Plus+ extension, we dive into the depths with a look at invisible residents—unidentified submerged objects (USOs), strange water-based anomalies, and the theory that we may be sharing our oceans with a hidden aquatic intelligence.

Is Earth truly the product of random cosmic events, or could it have been deliberately designed by a superintelligence? Authors Christopher Knight and Alan Butler argue that our planet, the Moon, and even the asteroid Ceres form a mathematically precise structure—one that suggests an intelligent force engineered our world as a living incubator. But why?
Their latest book, They Built the Earth, expands on their previous work, revealing how the perfect orbital ratios, astronomical alignments, and encoded measurements in our solar system may contain a hidden message for humanity—one that must be understood for our species to survive. We explore their shocking conclusions, NASA’s mysterious obsession with Ceres, and whether the destruction of an ancient planet in our solar system was part of an intentional cosmic blueprint.
Then, for our Plus+ members, we take a deep dive into the “Instinct” behind high strangeness—a force that may actively shape reality to prevent humanity from falling into spiritual decay. Could reports of Bigfoot wearing clothes, shape-shifting entities, and trickster-like paranormal encounters be part of an ancient, self-regulating mechanism designed to keep us in check?

If you study unexplained phenomena long enough, patterns start to emerge—bizarre connections between alien abductions, psychic encounters, and otherworldly influences. In this episode, we examine a chilling case of a woman abducted by hooded beings, subjected to strange rituals, and left with physical scars and fragmented memories. Were these visitors extraterrestrial, interdimensional, or something else entirely? We explore the eerie similarities between abduction reports, psychic manipulation, and the unsettling question of why these encounters follow such a disturbingly familiar script.
Then, for our Plus+ members, we dive into the world of enigmatic entities reported across time and space, from shimmering beings to shadowy manipulators. Are they guiding us, controlling us, or simply using us for their own agenda? We explore the hidden mechanisms behind these encounters and what they could mean for the future of humanity.

American culture is everywhere, shaping everything from entertainment to fast food—but could its most profound influence be something far more unsettling? Across the globe, from Hong Kong to Japan, Western mental health concepts are spreading, often replacing traditional ways of understanding distress. Depression, PTSD, and eating disorders are appearing in regions where they were once rare, raising the question: is this organic, or is something more deliberate at play?
In this episode, we dive into the unsettling case from Japan, where pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline saw an untapped market for antidepressants and set out to change the nation’s perception of sadness itself. Through marketing, media manipulation, and cultural rebranding, they turned “feeling down” into a medical condition overnight—selling billions in pills along the way. Could this be an example of a memetic virus, an idea so powerful that it rewires an entire society’s approach to mental illness?
Then, for our Plus+ members, we uncover reports of bizarre shape-shifting UFOs, eerie green mist that seems to transport people between dimensions, and chilling encounters with dark entities that should have never been summoned.

A young man’s vivid dreams of fire, hidden chambers, and ancient initiations were just the beginning. When he stumbled upon centuries-old alchemical texts describing exactly what he had been experiencing, his world turned upside down. Was he unlocking a lost spiritual science—or being pulled into something far stranger?
Then, in our Plus+ extension, we push deeper into the unseen world, exploring astral doorways, past-life mysteries, and the unsettling possibility that some of our most bizarre encounters may be more real than we ever imagined.
