This week on ParaReality, Sandman sits down with experiencer and author Bret Oldham to explore a side of contact that rarely gets discussed — what happens after the encounters. Based on themes from his book Children of the Greys: Aftermath, Bret shares what it's like to live with the long-term psychological, emotional, and personal impact of experiences that don't come with clear explanations or easy closure. This conversation moves beyond sightings and speculation, diving into memory, identity, family ripple effects, and the challenge of integrating extraordinary experiences into everyday life. Whether you see the phenomenon as external, internal, symbolic, or something else entirely — this episode explores the human side of the unknown.

From late 1896 to mid-1897, thousands across the US reported cigar-shaped "mystery airships" with bright spotlights, impossible speeds, and silent flight years before viable aircraft existed. Centered in the Midwest and California, these sightings—often featuring inventor stories or alien theories—remain largely unexplained, combining mass hysteria, hoaxes, and early UFO lore.  Listen in as the Syndicate discusses the mystery, the sightings and gives their opinions on what these mystery airships could possibly have been.

In Part 2 of this ParaReality investigation into disclosure, Sandman looks beyond the sightings and testimony to ask a more difficult question: why does secrecy persist? From national security and institutional control to public perception and narrative management, this episode explores whether disclosure is unfolding naturally — or being carefully managed. Episode 1 examined what we know. Episode 2 explores why the truth still feels just out of reach. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Wow! Here it is, the very first episode of ParaReality that I ever did. I had just signed up for a Live365 account and all I had was a headset microphone and an idea. I also had no clue what I was doing! I think that the first version of ParaReality Radio was a unique one. It combined stories of the paranormal with a nice dose of rock music, ending with one of the most popular segments that I ever did - News of the Strange. Back then, I could get away with playing music because Live365 covered me with music licensing. I know I'm not supposed to play licensed music without permission, but I feel that I need to keep the integrity of the original episode by keeping it as is. If I get into trouble, so be it. For some reason, I decided that for my very first episode of ParaReality ever, I wanted to tackle the story of the Devil's Footprints. a legend of hoof-like marks left by the Devil left in Devon, England. After heavy snowfall, mysterious, hoof-like prints appeared in a straight line for over 100 miles, crossing obstacles like rooftops and rivers, causing widespread panic. Explanations vary from escaped animals (kangaroos, donkeys) and unusual atmospheric conditions to a hoax, but the mystery remains unsolved.  Please keep in mind that this was the very first episode that I did, so I had no clue what I was doing. It's definitely not my best work by far. That being kept in mind, it is what it is. I hope you can appreciate it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Flying saucers were once dismissed as fantasy — until pilots, radar data, and Congressional hearings changed the conversation. In this episode of ParaReality, Sandman sits down with author and researcher Maxim W. Furek to explore Flying Saucer Esoteric: The Altered States of Ufology. Moving beyond simple sightings, this discussion dives into UFO history, psychology, consciousness, folklore, whistleblowers, the USS Nimitz encounter, alleged alien bodies, and the growing Age of Disclosure. Are UFOs physical craft, psychological events, or something far stranger? And what does the phenomenon reveal about us? This episode asks the questions others avoid. Learn more about your ad choices.

Flying saucers were once dismissed as fantasy — until pilots, radar data, and Congress changed the conversation. In this episode of ParaReality, Sandman is joined by author and researcher Maxim W. Furek to discuss his book Flying Saucer Esoteric: The Altered States of Ufology. Together, they explore UFO history, contactees, government secrecy, consciousness, Bigfoot/UAP connections, whistleblowers, alleged alien bodies, and the modern push toward disclosure. This isn't just about what's in the sky — it's about belief, psychology, and how the phenomenon may be shaping humanity itself. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A powerful man is dead. The official story is neat, controlled, and reassuring. But the details refuse to stay quiet. In this first episode of Midnight Syndicate, the hosts step into the shadows surrounding the murder of a UnitedHealthcare CEO—an event that sent shockwaves through corporate America and raised more questions than answers. What begins as a seemingly isolated act quickly becomes something far more unsettling as timelines blur, motives conflict, and silence grows louder than any press statement. This isn't a whodunit. It's a why… and a who benefits. As layers of power, influence, and institutional protection are peeled back, listeners are invited to question how narratives are shaped, how quickly stories disappear, and what happens when the victim sits at the top of a billion-dollar industry. Was this an act of rage? A warning? Or something we were never meant to examine too closely? No conclusions are handed to you. No answers are promised. Only fragments, patterns, and the creeping sense that some truths are buried on purpose. Initiates only. Truth hides in the dark. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

UFOs are no longer a fringe topic. Congressional hearings, military testimony, and whistleblowers have pushed UAPs into the mainstream — but real answers remain elusive. In Part 1 of this two-episode ParaReality investigation, Sandman examines the history, the hearings, and the witnesses behind modern disclosure, revealing a pattern of acknowledgment without transparency. Episode 1 lays out the facts. Episode 2 asks why the truth still feels just out of reach. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

For decades, the subject of UFOs — now known as UAPs — was dismissed, ridiculed, or buried beneath layers of secrecy. But in recent years, something has changed. Congressional hearings have been held. Military pilots have testified under oath. Whistleblowers have stepped forward. And the U.S. government has openly acknowledged that unidentified objects are operating in our skies. So why does it still feel like we're not getting any real answers? In Episode 1 of this two-part ParaReality investigation into disclosure, host Sandman examines what we actually know — and how we got here. From the early days of Roswell and Project Blue Book to modern Pentagon programs, public hearings, and high-profile whistleblower testimony, this episode traces the evolving government narrative surrounding the UAP phenomenon. Along the way, we explore a troubling pattern: acknowledgment without explanation, testimony without accountability, and movement without resolution. If credible witnesses are speaking under oath, why aren't their claims being fully investigated? And if the phenomenon is real, why does transparency always seem to stop just short of the truth? This episode doesn't tell you what to believe — it lays out the facts, the history, and the unanswered questions, allowing you to draw your own conclusions. Episode 1 sets the stage. Episode 2 goes deeper. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This isn't an episode of ParaReality. This is another episode of the Paranormal Nashville show when I was actually interviewed and not the co-host. The show was hosted by my good friend Tony Pratt. It focused on all of the unusual activity that happened in and around the Nashville, TN area. I don't know the date this episode originally aired. In it, we talked about how I got into the paranormal, how I got involved in radio and some of my paranormal experiences. The audio is a little low on this, so you will need to turn your volume up.

This isn't an episode of ParaReality Radio. This is a co-host gig that I did on my sister show on WRFN - Paranormal Nashville. The show was hosted by my good friend Tony Pratt. It focused on all of the unusual activity that happened in and around the Nashville, TN area. This episode is entitled "Unlocking the Power of the Mind" and features an interview with Dr. Stephanie West. Dr. West is a clinical hypnotherapist who specializes in soul therapy. During this episode, I will allow myself to be hypnotized live on the air. I think that it made for some really good radio.

In this explosive season finale, Sandman sits down with author and JFK researcher Anthony Pratt to unravel the hidden network he believes was responsible for the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Pratt — former editor of The JFK Assassination Report: 13 Shots and author of JFK Masterminds, Assassinations: The Day America Wept, and Mystery US Universe: Origin & Destiny — presents a sprawling case involving CIA operatives, Mafia figures, political power brokers, Cuban exile groups, foreign intelligence agencies, covert shooters, and an enigmatic shadow organization known as Night Shade. Together, we examine the motives, connections, and suppressed evidence that challenge the official narrative and paint a far darker picture of November 22, 1963.

Tonight, we're heading deep into the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina, a place steeped in folklore and whispers of the wild. Our guest is a man who knows these woods intimately. Jerry Millwood, Jr. is a lifelong resident of the South Mountains, a Bigfoot and cryptid researcher with North Carolina Investigates. He's had a passion for the supernatural since he was a child, but his fascination became a reality when he started having strange encounters on his own property. Since then, he's dedicated himself to investigating the unexplained phenomena of the Appalachian foothills. Jerry joins us tonight to share some of his most compelling personal experiences, including the the first time he ever saw Bigfoot. We'll also hear about the many other sightings and experiences that eyewitnesses have shared with him over the years.

In this gripping episode, I'm diving deep into the labyrinthine darkness surrounding Jeffrey Epstein – a name synonymous not just with unfathomable evil, but with a global network of wealth, power, and deeply disturbing secrets. From his enigmatic rise from a modest background to his intimate connections with presidents, royalty, tech moguls, and whispers of intelligence agencies, I'll peel back the layers of Epstein's life. We'll explore how his alleged "financial firm" was a front for a sophisticated blackmail operation, gathering compromising material on the world's most powerful individuals. But the core of this investigation lies in "The Epstein Files" themselves: the sealed court documents, FBI evidence, and rumored surveillance tapes that hold the key to who was involved, what they did, and why this truth remains so fiercely suppressed. I'll reveal the shocking details that have emerged from recent civil lawsuits in the U.S. Virgin Islands, implicating major financial institutions and hinting at a systemic failure to hold the powerful accountable. This isn't just a story about a convicted pedophile; it's a profound examination of power, corruption, and the fight for justice in a world where the elite seem to operate above the law. Join me as I demand transparency, because when it comes to the Epstein Files, the truth is rarely what it seems, and the public has a right to know. Learn more about your ad choices.

This past May, I found myself nestled in the heart of the Smoky Mountains — a land thick with folklore, ancient spirits, and more than a few eyewitness accounts of the unexplained. I was at the Smoky Mountain Bigfoot Festival in beautiful Townsend, Tennessee, and let me tell you — this wasn't just a celebration of Sasquatch. This was a gathering of the weird, the wild, and the wonderfully haunted. I wasn't just there as a fan. I went to collect the voices of the people who've seen things — things they can't always explain, things they've never forgotten. I set up a small booth, a humble little station tucked between a moonshine distillery tent and a guy selling hand-carved Bigfoot statues. I asked one simple question to everyone who walked by:“Have you ever experienced something... paranormal?” And man... they delivered. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Tonight we're venturing into the heart of Bigfoot country. You've heard the stories—the footprints, the howls, the fleeting shadows caught on camera—but how many people are actually willing to pack up their gear, head into the woods, and chase those legends night after night? My guest tonight does exactly that. His name is Mike Familiant, and he's the creator and star of the popular YouTube series In the Shadow of Big Red Eye. Mike isn't just another weekend enthusiast—he's an adventurer, a researcher, and a boots-on-the-ground investigator who's dedicated years to uncovering the truth about the elusive creature we call Bigfoot. Through his YouTube channel and live expeditions, Mike has documented evidence, shared encounters, and brought us right into the field alongside him. His approach is raw, authentic, and driven by an unshakable passion to separate fact from folklore. Tonight, Mike and I will dig into his wildest adventures, his most compelling evidence, and what it really takes to search for Sasquatch in the unforgiving wild. From New Jersey to the backwoods of Appalachia, Mike has followed the trail of Bigfoot—and tonight, we're going with him. So settle in, grab your favorite drink, and get ready to peer into the shadows where the Big Red Eye just might be watching you. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Throughout history, curses have been feared, invoked, and even sought after. From ancient Egyptian tombs to the legends of vengeful witches, curses have played a major role in shaping stories, influencing battles, and even altering destinies. But what exactly makes a curse powerful? What kinds of curses exist, and how do they manifest? I'll be sharing some chilling examples of well-known curses from history, mythology, and even the present day—because, yes, some believe curses are very much still alive today. But this episode isn't just about fear—it's about knowledge. In the second half of tonight's show, I'm going to teach you how to protect yourself from a curse if you ever find yourself under its dark influence. And for the brave among you, I'll even be walking you through the process of how to cast a curse—whether it's for personal protection or perhaps... a bit of poetic justice. So, whether you're a skeptic, a curious soul, or someone who's dabbled in the mystical arts, this episode is for you. Grab your salt, light your candles, and keep your eye on the shadows, because tonight, we explore the dark and powerful world of curses and their ability to shape our fate.

I'm sure that it's crossed your mind more than once, about what happens to us when our time on this earthly plane is done. I know I certainly have. Do we continue to exist in some form? I'm sure that we do because how else can we explain things like spirits, hauntings, and communication with the dead? Does our soul just wander about in the universe, or does it hang around here on this earthly plane in some sort of other dimension that we can't see? Well, my guest tonight just might have the answers to those burning questions, and more. His name is Mark Ireland and he is an author, researcher, and co-founder of Helping Parents Heal, an organization providing support to bereaved parents globally. He has actively participated in mediumship research studies conducted by esteemed institutions, including the University of Arizona and the University of Virginia. As a leading figure in the field, he operates a Medium Certification program. Mark is the author of three books, his current one being The Persistence of the Soul: Mediums, Visitations and Afterlife Communication, and he currently resides in Camas, Washington. This book is not merely a collection of personal anecdotes; it's a meticulously researched compilation of scientific experiments conducted to provide irrefutable evidence of the persistence of consciousness. Ireland's own experiment involving a secret message from his deceased sister, Robin, stands as a testament to the reality of afterlife communication. The author counters skeptical arguments with compelling evidence and delves into the intersection of mediumship with diverse religious traditions. Learn more about your ad choices.

Sean Combs, also known as P-Diddy, Puff Daddy, and Diddy, is one of the most successful figures in the entertainment world. As a rapper, producer, businessman, and mogul, he has built an empire that spans music, fashion, media, and alcohol. However, with his rise to fame, Combs has also attracted a significant amount of controversy and, unsurprisingly, conspiracy theories. These range from the bizarre to the seemingly plausible, and they often blend elements of Hollywood culture, power dynamics, and even tragedy. Tonight, I'm diving into some of the major conspiracy theories surrounding Diddy—whether they have any merit, how they spread, and why people are so eager to believe them.

Everybody has a good story to tell. It's especially good whenever that story is spooky, creepy or has a UFO in it. I have a good friend named Jesse who owns a physical media store called Danger Zone Video. Located in Mt. Juliet, TN, it is the premiere physical media store in the Nashville area. Back in November, I brought my podcast gear into Danger Zone Video and sat up shop in his lobby. We posted a Social Media campaign asking for local Nashvillians to come down to the store and tell us their paranormal story for the podcast. We were not disappointed because people showed up with some fantastic stories. From tales of ghostly apparitions on bridges to Native American creatures to tales of being chased through the streets late at night by someone, or something, I've got something for almost everyone. Join me and all of my guests as we take you Into the Danger Zone! I want to say a special thank you to Jesse and Danger Zone Video for hosting this event.

Since late November/early December, New Jersey has found itself at the center of a baffling phenomenon. High-tech, unmanned aerial vehicles—drones—are being spotted all over the state, often in the dead of night, performing seemingly coordinated flights. But it's not just the drones themselves that are raising questions. It's their behavior, their patterns, and the eerie sense that something... or someone... is controlling them with a purpose. Who's behind the New Jersey drone mystery? Are these just some high-tech hobbyists pushing the limits of what's possible in the skies, or is there something more sinister at play? And what do these drones really want? In this episode, I'll piece together the timeline of strange drone sightings, tell you what the government has to say about it, and explore the growing concerns from locals who have witnessed these aerial intruders up close. Is this a case of cutting-edge technology gone rogue, or is there something much bigger happening right above our heads? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

DUMBs have long been a focal point for conspiracy theorists, primarily due to their secretive nature and the fact that much about their construction, purpose, and operations remains classified. The concept of DUMBs has long been a subject of speculation, with many conspiracy theories claiming that such bases exist in remote areas, sometimes involving extraterrestrial activity, advanced technologies, or even secret government programs. Because these bases are hidden from the public eye, speculation runs rampant about their true functions. Some of the most widely discussed and bizarre theories extend beyond traditional military purposes, involving everything from alien contact to apocalyptic survival plans for the global elite. Tonight, we are going to explore and elaborate on these theories, offering a speculative look at some of the more outlandish claims surrounding DUMBs. Learn more about your ad choices.

UFO observer and reporter Keith Thompson has spent decades researching and investigating UFO encounters and other unknown aerial phenomena. The resulting book, "UFO Paradox: The Celestial and Symbolic World of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena," blows the believer/skeptic debate wide open, offering new and extraordinary possibilities about the nature of mind and matter, spirit, and soul. Thompson's startling conclusions suggest the UFO may be a celestial, metaphysical event. On this episode, Sandman sits down with Mr. Thompson and discusses his book, how he first became interested in UAPs, the toxic skepticism within the UAP community, and his time serving in the administration of President Bill Clinton.

Nancy Thames, a former Department of Defense employee and a lifelong Contactee of Inter Dimensional extraterrestrial beings, has emerged as a significant voice in the realm of alien disclosure and spiritual awakening. Her journey, marked by personal struggles, transformed profoundly through her continuous extraterrestrial encounters. These experiences, initially suppressed, were eventually embraced as Nancy began to understand their purpose in her life and for humanity. She has come to the decisive conclusion: it is Time for Disclosure. Her dedication to this cosmic narrative propelled her to create timefordisclosure.com, a platform advocating for open dialogue about extraterrestrial interactions and the greater implications for humanity. Here, she shares her personal encounters, insights gleaned from beings across dimensions, and her perspective on what these interactions mean for human evolution. Nancy's work underscores a collective call to awakening. She stresses that experiences often labeled as "abductions" are, in her understanding, enlightened contacts, part of a broader, benevolent interaction with extraterrestrial entities aiming to usher humanity into a new era of cosmic participation. This mission, conveyed through her writing and community engagement, is driven by a philosophy of unity, spiritual evolution, and the pursuit of truth, extending an invitation to all of humanity to acknowledge and embrace our place within the larger galactic framework.  She says that she has a goal and a mission for Humanity to acknowledge and embrace our place within the larger galactic framework.

Water acts as a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms, so it makes sense that ghosts might tap into it to make their presence known. This idea proposes that the energy in water helps spirits create a space where they can connect with the living. You often see this theme in paranormal TV shows and movies, where water is shown as a hotspot for ghostly happenings. Throughout history, various cultures have thought that those who drown turn into spectral guardians, watching over their waters and keeping evil at bay. In fact, some societies have even performed ritual sacrifices of living beings when building bridges, believing that this act would ensure a constant protector for the structure. The Bermuda Triangle is probably one of the most famous spots when it comes to strange happenings in the water. This stretch of ocean, located between Miami, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico, has gained a reputation for its eerie disappearances. Over the years, countless planes and ships have simply vanished without a single clue. Theories about these mysterious vanishings range from alien encounters to otherworldly forces at play. Some folks think that geological activities beneath the waves, like massive bubbles of methane or sudden ocean currents, might explain why things go missing in the Bermuda Triangle. Still, the whole area is wrapped in an unsettling vibe of paranormal intrigue and fear due to all the unexplained events that have taken place there. Water has always been linked to a bunch of mysterious happenings, whether it's ghosts and spirits, strange lights and sounds, or even UFOs and aliens. It's also been tied to those eerie cases of unexplained deaths and disappearances. Does water have some sort of unknown property in it that makes it a conduit for all of these unusual events? What is it about water that attracts UFOs? Why do people go missing around bodies of water, never to be found? Well, that's what we're trying to answer tonight.

Tonight, I'll be winding up my summer series on Triangles of Death by taking us on an exploration of the Lake Michigan Triangle. This Triangle of Death isn't as widely known on a global scale, like the Bermuda Triangle, but it's history is just as full of the bizarre and the unexplained as any place on earth. In the first episode, I took us on a dive of the Devil's Triangle, just off the coast of Japan. The Devil's Triangle is the home of many mysterious disappearances, sunken ships, strange lights in the sky, and is responsible for hundreds of deaths. In the previous episode, I took us on a trek through the Bridgewater Triangle, a 200 square mile area in Massachusetts. Though its landlocked, its home of a mysterious swamp that is said to be haunted by the local Native American tribe of the Wampanoags. This Triangle of Death is also the location of mysterious disappearances, strange lights in the sky, UFO sightings, hauntings and is also responsible for the deaths of many. Stretching from Ludington to Benton Harbor, Michigan and to Manitowoc, Wisconsin, the Lake Michigan Triangle has inspired numerous accounts of activity that are difficult to explain by rational thought.  From dancing lights in the skies above it to a cryptic, underwater “Stonehenge” under its waters, Lake Michigan is steeped in aquatic oddities—enough to rival even those of the Bermuda and Devil's Triangles in the first two episodes of this series. But what's the story behind the aptly-dubbed “Michigan Triangle,” the Great Lakes' claim to paranormal fame? Is it all smoke and mirrors or, like the lake itself, something with a bit more depth? Come with me as we explore some of the unique phenomena that make the Lake Michigan Triangle a true mystery. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Tonight is the second episode in my Summer Series about Triangles of Death. In this episode, we're going to be looking into the Bridgewater Triangle, a 200 square mile area just south of Boston, Mass. Like the Bermuda and Devil's Triangles, this area is the home of many mysterious disappearances, unusual happenings and sightings of ghosts and UFOs over the decades. However, unlike the Bermuda and Devil's Triangles, this particular Triangle of Death is landlocked, although it does contain a swamp. Is the presence of water a key element in these Triangles of Death? I don't know. All I can say is “maybe.” Another difference between the Bridgewater and the Bermuda and Devil's Triangles is the presence of cryptids. Just about anything that you want to be in the Bridgewater Triangle is in there. If you're into zombies, there's stories about zombies. If you're into Bigfoot, he's there. If you're into pukwudgies, their all over the place. If you're into ghosts, you've got it. UFOs, black helicopters — they're all there." To learn more, you'll have to Turn On, Tune In, & Find Out!

Joining me tonight is Nashville horror host, and legend, Larry Underwood, also known as Dr. Gangrene. Dr. Gangrene exploded onto the airwaves on July 1, 1999 on the Hendersonville, TN Public-access television station. Chiller Cinema, as the show was known, quickly expanded into Nashville, TN where it aired on Community Access Channel 19. Chiller Cinema was the first program to broadcast live out of the new Public, Educational, and Government Access television building where CH 19 broadcast from. Chiller Cinema was soon seen on other Public-access television stations across the country, making Underwood one of the first horror hosts to self-syndicate his program. The show won much praise and accolades and was named one of the country's top 20 cable access TV programs by Gear Magazine.  Dr. Gangrene continues to stay busy, producing a weekly horror host TV program Dr. Gangrene's Cinetarium, which airs weekly on Nashville's NECAT Arts CH9 on Comcast out of Nashville, TN, Saturdays at 9pm central.

If you have been a loyal listener to this podcast for the last several years, you'll know that one of my favorite topics to talk about are the Nazis. Over the years I've devoted more than a handful of episodes to Hitler, Himmler, the Nazi Party as a whole and their occult practices. It's a fascinating topic for me and I've spent probably hundreds of hours of my life researching it. As a matter-of-fact, the most popular episodes in my catalogue come from the 2014 Summer Series that I devoted to the Nazis. One of those episodes consisted of my investigation of if Adolf Hitler escaped Berlin in 1945, and lived his life in secret elsewhere. That episode is in the top three most listened to or downloaded episodes in the history of the podcast. With April 30th being the 73rd anniversary of the “official” death of Adolf Hitler, and since my investigation into that supposed suicide is one of the most popular episodes that I've done, I've decided to reopen that case file and take another look at the death of Adolf Hitler. Did he actually die in that secret bunker in 1945, or did he fake his death and escape Berlin as it literally burned down around him? Did he flee to Argentina, Antartica, or somewhere else? Or did he actually die before April 30, 1945? To learn more, you'll have to Turn On, Tune In, & Find Out!

Tonight, you and I are going to be investigating a familiar event in US history. However, we're not going to be looking at it in the usual way. Why would we? This is the ParaReality Podcast, and one thing we definitely don't do is look at things in a normal way. We're going to investigate a conspiracy theory within a conspiracy theory. A mystery wrapped in an enigma. It's an almost 60-year-old cold case that has just been begging to be solved, yet there is very little evidence as to who committed the crime, or why. All we have is circumstantial evidence and speculation. On Nov. 22, 1963, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, who was president of the United States, was assassinated while driving through Dallas, Texas. He was emergently taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital, where he was officially pronounced dead at 1:00 PM local time. Later that night, his brain, or what was left of it, was removed during his autopsy and has been the subject of controversy, speculation and conspiracy theories ever since. America has been perplexed by the whereabouts of JFK's brain since 1966 when it mysteriously disappeared from the National Archives. Almost sixty years later, there are still those in the United States who ponder the true culprits behind John F. Kennedy's assassination. However, another inquiry looms large: What became of JFK's brain? While the late president's body rests at Arlington National Cemetery, his brain has remained missing since 1966. Was it pilfered to cover up evidence? Snatched by his brother? Or could it be that the brain was substituted before it even went missing? To learn more, you'll have to Turn On, Tune In, & Find Out!
