Some people are experiencing a 'flash' of darkness. A quick blink of total darkness whether indoors or outside on a sunny, clear day. At first glance, one may assume that it's some neurological phenomena occurring, however this is experienced by multiple people at the same time and location. Join me today as I discuss Unexplained Sudden Darkness!

Unfortunately there are thousands of missing persons cases every year across the globe. Some people disappear voluntarily and others under nefarious circumstances. However, some cases are so strange and bizarre that they seem to defy logic and reason. Today I discuss Strange Deaths and Disappearances!

Is there really a group of elite world leaders that meet in secret every year to discuss covert world agendas and secret plans for a one world order? It seems possible and some say likely. The Bilderberg group was once believed to be a mere conspiracy, however, they're very real. Only now the question remains...what is they're agenda? They're certainly not disclosing that information and are seemingly willing to guard it at all cost. (This is the first in an ongoing series on Secret Societies. Many more episodes to come!)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhGX1YCsvAM I discuss this documentary from 14:45 through 21:00 during this episode. Skip that time frame if you'd rather not hear the spoilers. Correction: I say the last name of the family is Robinson, when it's actually Robertson. There is another story I talk about toward the end of the show that speaks of someone with the last name of Robinson and I'm thinking my brain was stuck on that.

A mysterious death in Australia snowballed into one of the most intriguing unsolved cases ever seen. Could it have been natural causes, the suicide of a jilted lover, or even the assassination of a spy? Tune in and hear about one of the most baffling mysteries of all time. The case of the Somerton Man!
Time is a fickle thing. What would you do if you looked around your surroundings and something seemed off? Then you notice that everyone is from the past. It dawns on you...you're in the past. Literally. And there's nothing you can do but wait for time to return to your present day. Some claim to have experienced these time anomalies. Today we talk about a small handful of these stories. Join me on Just A Thought episode 3...Time Slips!
We've all experienced coincidences on some level or another. Certainly coincidences happen very often and we can figure out the odds of most of them happening. However, could there be an outside force that may be placing people in situations where a coincidence occurs for reasons we can only speculate about? Join me on Episode 2 of Just A Thought as we discuss some very, very strange coincidences and explore some theories that may explain these strange happenings.
