Tonight, I'm diving into a fascinating concept known as the 80-Year Theory, or more formally, the Strauss-Howe Generational Theory. This theory suggests that history follows a cyclical pattern, repeating itself every four generations, approximately every 80 to 100 years. I'll explore who developed this theory, the concept of the 20-year "turnings," historical examples, and when the next phase is predicted to occur. Turn On, Tune In & Find Out!

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. Are you ready to curse or be cursed? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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. Let's explore a few of the most popular stories and see what's really going on behind the scenes. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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. I had a great time and I will definitely do this again! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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.

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!

A series of unexplained deaths in Chicago in 1982 starts a nationwide manhunt. The victims are connected by one frightening detail: It looks like all these people took Tylenol and died the same day. Almost every home and hospital in America had Tylenol in them somewhere. But what if these people weren't killed at random? Can the elusive killer finally be identified and brought to justice? Who actually committed the Chicago Tylenol murders? Was it career con man, or was it a self-described closet chemist? Or perhaps it was one of the most famous domestic terrorists in the history of the United States. Tonight I will uncover the top theories surrounding an ongoing FBI investigation into the over 40 year old case and maybe bring into light some information that you've never heard of. Can this elusive killer finally be brought to justice? To learn that, you'll have to Turn On, Tune In, & Find Out!

In and around the Mojave desert, there have been reports of mysterious creatures, given different names like the Mojave Bigfoot, Sierra Highway Devil, and Marvin of the Mojave. Locals in the Antelope Valley area might recognize these terms as referring to a local cryptid known as the Yucca Man. This creature is believed to be a version of the legendary Bigfoot adapted to desert life. It's said to inhabit parts of Southern California, Nevada, and Arizona, with sightings dating back to the 1970s, particularly in the Antelope Valley area. The Yucca Man was first sighted on a night in 1971 at the Twentynine Palms Marine base. Different versions of the story exist, but generally, it's told that a marine guard who was on duty was found the next morning unconscious, with his rifle bent in half. According to the Marine, a large, hairy figure emerged from the darkness and approached him. The Marine tried to stop the figure by raising his rifle and giving orders, but the creature took the rifle and bent it in half. The Marine was then knocked out. The creature was described as having glowing red eyes and a foul smell. Both the FBI and CIA were involved in investigating the incident, but the details of their findings remain unclear. There were apparently at least two other sightings of similar figures on that same night. One report mentioned a 12-foot-tall figure accompanied by a smaller one. Other accounts came from people whose dogs were constantly barking at something in the area. Just who, or what is the Yucca Man? Is he a Sasquatch, or some version of him, like a cousin? Is he a completely different cryptid? Is he an alien? Or is he actually just the figment of overactive imaginations? To learn that, you'll have to Turn On, Tune In, & Find Out!

In the early 2000's the shadow of a man dressed in leathers, wearing a gas mask and soldier camo, haunted the forest of Maules, in Switzerland's Canton of Fribourg. He would walk the same path and always linger just long enough for some passerby to catch a glimpse. They called him Le Loyon, “The Ghost Of Maules”. He was only seen in brief glimpses. Those who encountered him said that while he never showed any aggression towards them, they nevertheless were left with feelings of uneasiness. This Le Loyon was an Urban Legend that was spoken about only in hushed whispers. The citizens of Maules were frightened of him, though they couldn't actually prove that he even existed. That all came to an end in 2013 when the only picture of Le Loyon was captured by an unknown photographer. Soon after that, Le Loyon disappeared completely. Some say that he committed suicide. Others say that he transitioned into something else, not of this plane. Just who, or what, was Le Loyon? What were the circumstances behind his appearances? What happened to him?

It has been a while since I've recorded and uploaded a new episode of the ParaReality Podcast and I'm sure that many of you have been wondering what has been going on. Unfortunately for me, I was involved in an accident the week before Thanksgiving, which required me to be hospitalized for several days. I also had to undergo surgery and have my left patella reconstructed and some hardware placed in my knee. As a result of that, I've now got an old-school plaster cast on my left leg that goes from my upper thigh to my toes, and my left leg is completely straight. I am confined to a bed until Dec. 26, and whenever I do get up, I have to have assistance. I can only walk with the use of a walker, and can only go short distances. This means that I am unable to get into the Secret Bunker to record new episodes for the next several weeks. Therefore, I have no choice but to take a hiatus from the podcast for a while so I can concentrate on my recovery. I wish that I could have been able to update everyone sooner, however I just haven't felt like it, to be completely honest. I don't know how long I will be out, however I will keep you all updated on my social media. The links can be found by clicking on the "Podcast Links" button at the top of this website. I'm not much for sharing a lot of personal information, however I will post weekly updates on my recovery and timeline to return to recording the podcast.

In the aftermath of the devastating wildfires in Maui, misinformation and conspiracy theories have spread online, underscoring the shortcomings of social media firms' enforcement policies following disasters. Conspiracy theories including that the fire was started intentionally by a secret “energy weapon” and that a shadowy cabal of global elites set the blazes purposefully to clear the land for their own nefarious uses have gained popularity. What's real, and what's nothing more than fringe Conspiracy Theorists trying to get their 15 minutes of fame in? And…how can you tell the two apart? That's what I'll be talking about tonight, and hopefully by the end of this episode, you'll have a better idea of what's real and what isn't.

Tonight is the finale of my Summer Series on Alabama Haunted Locations and Urban Legends. And man do I have some creepy urban legends to tell you about tonight. I've been waiting to tell you about these places all summer long. If you'll remember, all the way back in June, on the first part of my series, I started off by telling you about 5 Alabama urban legends of the cryptid and ghost variety. Then, in part two, I told you about some creepy and haunted places that you could visit on a haunted Alabama road trip. Tonight, I'm going to be circling back around and pick up where I left off in part 1. I'll be telling you about 5 more Alabama urban legends, but this time, instead of focusing on the “creatures” of each location, I'll be focusing on the locations themselves.

Since then, he has made it his personal goal to find out exactly what is roaming the woods of America.In 2016, after becoming frustrated with the lack of true research expedition shows on TV, he created his own show, called “In the Shadow of Big Red Eye .” The show is currently filming their 8th season.

Tonight is the second in my three part Summer Series on Alabama Urban Legends and Hauntings. On the first episode, I told you about five creepy Urban Legends from my home state, along with one hoax. When it comes to ghosts, Alabama has definitely seen its fair share. From hotels and restaurants, to cemeteries and landmarks, Alabama is home to many different types of haunted places. This episode, I'm going to be telling you about 5 creepy places that you can visit if you ever decide to take a haunted road trip in the great state of Alabama the Beautiful. Of course, there are a lot more than just five places to visit in this great Southern state, however I think that these five are the best. Well, at least they are in my opinion!

For months now, Easy E and I have been keeping a secret from everyone. We finally have come to the time when we can no longer hide it. Back at the first of the year, Easy E told me that he was leaving Nashville and moving to Orlando, FL. He got a fantastic job opportunity, and couldn't let it pass him by. Needless to say, I was a little shocked, but not very surprised since his girlfriend lives there, and I knew it would only be a matter of time before he packed up and left. However, I wasn't prepared for him to leave so soon. We decided to keep things a secret because we didn't want the focus of the podcast to turn to him leaving, and us doing some sort of sad countdown to his final day. We wanted to "keep the status quo," and keep the focus on providing quality content presented in a unique manner. But sadly, the time has finally come. This is Easy E's final episode. So, tonight we celebrate all things Eric. We will take a look back at some of our favorite topics, funniest moments, and lament about all the things that we didn't get a chance to talk about during our time together. Easy E has become more than just a cohost. He has been a dear, and trusted friend, and he and I have spent many times together just hanging out and having a good time - without doing a podcast. Yes, Easy E has been a good cohost, and an even better friend. I know that he will succeed in his new life in Orlando, and I wish him nothing but good times and happiness. Saying goodbye is never easy, so instead of saying that, I'll say "So long." You will be missed, my friend, and the Secret Bunker will always feel empty without you.

I know that it's not “officially” summer yet, but it's still time for my Summer Series to kick off. You know that every summer, I pick one topic and spread it out over three episodes in June, July and August. This year, I began to plan the Summer Series all the way back in February, so I've been itching to get it to you, and tonight's the night! My home state is Alabama. I grew up there and lived there until the end of 2002, when I moved here to Nashville. Like most southern states, Alabama has no shortage of tales of ghosts and hauntings, thanks to its long history of slavery and Civil War battles that were fought in the state. But, did you know that Alabama also has more than its share of cryptids? In fact, the state has several cryptids, most of which you've probably never heard of. I briefly touched on one of them called The Alabama White Thang in a previous episode. I thought that it would be great idea for me to bring all of those creatures to light, and try to get them the attention that they deserve. So, that's what my summer series is all about – Alabama Cryptids and Legends. Tonight, I present to you Part 1 – Five Alabama Cryptids and One Hoax!

If you've noticed, the theme for this season is Conspiracy Theories. And you know that I've gone on record to say that even though I'm a Conspiracy Theorist, I try to be an ethical one. I've said many times that we Conspiracy Theorists need to be held accountable for our actions if we incite violence or it causes harm to others. So tonight, I'm going to be discussing the ethics of conspiracy theories and the psychology behind them.To learn more, you'll have to Turn On, Tune In, & Find Out!

Just a little past 10 AM on Monday, March 27, 2023, Audrey Hale, a 28-year-old woman shot out the glass on a locked side door of Covenant School in the Green Hills area of Nashville, TN. Armed with 3 firearms, she entered the school and killed 6 people, including 3 children, all aged 9, before being shot dead by officers of the Nashville Police Department. This incident marks the 376th mass shooting at a US school since the notorious Columbine massacre of 1999, according to a Washington Post database. I've looked at the database and so far, 199 people, most of them school children have lost their lives. And it looks as if there's no end to this in the foreseeable future. In fact, many “Red States,” such as my home state of TN, are actively loosening gun laws instead of making them tighter. Right here in TN, there are currently more bills on the floor about guns than there is anything else. Tonight on the very special episode of ParaReality, I'm going to be taking a look at the Nashville shooting. I'll tell you everything that I know about the incident so far, what I've learned about the shooter, give you a brief timeline of the incident, and finally, do a little speculating about why this might have occurred.To learn more, you'll have to Turn On, Tune In, & Find Out!

Lisa Marie Presley's life, like her famous father's was short-lived and tragic. The similarities are astounding, too. Both died very young. Elvis was only 42, and Lisa Marie only 54. Both were musicians. Both were addicted to drugs. Both were found dead in their homes, and had been dead for quite some time prior to being found. Both their deaths are mired in controversy and both of them have a bevy of conspiracy theories surrounding their deaths. It seems that there's no resting in peace for Elvis and his beloved daughter. As has become all too predictable in the wake of a celebrity's death, especially those who die at a young age, cranks, conspiracists, right-wing figures and even fellow celebrities were sharing conspiracy theories about her death. What are those conspiracy theories surrounding Lisa Marie Presley's death? What was the exact cause of her demise? Did she really die?

With all the speculation and conspiracy theories that are floating around out there about the Chinese spy balloon, I thought that it would be appropriate for me to devote this episode of ParaReality to looking at some of the more popular theories, and give you my opinion of what's really going on here. UFO fever has gripped the US again after four incursions, including the Chinese spy balloon, were shot down this month. President Biden and other top Washington officials have said little about the repeated shoot-downs, which began with the suspected spy balloon. And some have not ruled out the possibility of aliens making contact, with conspiracy theories and speculations running wild as officials keep quiet. There will be an investigation and we will learn more, but until then this story has created a playground for people interested in speculating or coming up with all kinds of conspiracy theories.This is because, in part, it feeds into so many narratives about government secrecy.

David Paulides is a former police officer who is now an investigator and writer known primarily for the Missing 411 conspiracy theory. Missing 411 is a series of books and films, which document cases of people who have gone missing in national parks and elsewhere, and maintain that these cases are unusual and mysterious. In his latest documentary, Missing 411, The UFO Connection, Paulides investigates cases of elk hunters who've gone missing from specific regions of North America, and explores the theory that there could be a connection between these disappearances and sightings of UFOs. On tonight's episode, I'm joined in the Secret Bunker by Eric, from World We Live In podcast, and he and I will break down Paulides' latest documentary and discuss the cases ourselves. We will give our opinions on whether or not these cases have merit and if Paulides is grasping at straws or is really onto something.Turn On, Tune In & Find Out!

More than 2,700 leaders across politics and business have gathered in Davos, Switzerland, for an annual conference called the World Economic Forum. It's been going on since 1971, and this year's theme is 'Cooperation in a Fragmented World.' The meeting, which "allows some degree of coordination among elites," has long been targeted by conspiracy theorists. The theories reached a fever pitch after Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum, published a book titled 'COVID-19: The Great Reset' in 2020. Never heard of the World Economic Forum? Never heard of Davos, Switzerland for that matter? Do you know what The Great Reset is? Well don't worry, because if you've never heard about those things, I'm going to be telling you about them tonight. You'll learn all about the WEF, and the two big conspiracy theories that go along with it. To learn more, you'll have to Turn On, Tune In, & Find Out!

UFOs or UAPs as they have become to be known, have become quite a popular topic since the US government, in 2017, released several pieces of previously classified footage of unidentified objects flying through the sky. Back in mid-2022, it was announced that three major US organizations, one of them from the government, had been formed to investigate UAP sightings further, and hopefully answer the question, “Are we alone in the universe?” On tonight's episode, I'll be telling you about these organizations, who they are, and what they hope to accomplish. To learn more, you'll have to Turn On, Tune In, & Find Out!

There are so many UAP stories going around these days that it's hard to differentiate between what's real and a hoax. Stories of being medically experimented on, being tied down on an alien craft, or being taken without knowledge make up just some of these stories. The ten people on this episode experienced those things and more. Their encounters didn't turn out bad. Their encounters were frightening, for sure, but they seemed to end rather… weird. It was almost like having a nightmare—scary while you're in it, but it's fine when you wake up. Whether you believe it or not, these encounters are their truth.

Last episode I introduced you to Cryptobotany in my Cryptobotany 101 class. You learned what Cryptobotany is and learned about 5 Cryptobotanical plants that like to eat animals as well as us humans. Those are 5 plants that you definitely want to stay away from. Tonight, I'll be teaching Cryptobotany 102 – nature-based Cryptids. You'll be learning about 5 Cryptids that are nature-based. By that I mean that these Cryptids are connected to Mother Earth in some fashion or maybe even sprang from the earth itself. I know the idea sounds kind of far-fetched, but then again, everything that I talk about on this podcast is far-fetched, so the idea that there are creatures out there who are closely connected to, or sprang from Mother Nature herself shouldn't be a big surprise to you.
