The Quantum Mechanics - Paranormal Podcast

A number of soothsayers, spanning hundreds of years, all seem to have made similar predictions relating to the 21st century and beyond. Did Nostradamus, Jeane Dixon, Athos Salomé, Baba Vanga ,and Nicholas Aujula all see the same thing. Or do we interpret their prophesies they way we want to believe them.

On a bitter February day in 1978, 23-year-old Steven Kubacki disappeared, leaving prints in the snow that abruptly halted - as if he'd simply vanished into thin air. What happened 15 months later was wild, to say the least - almost as wild as the theories of time manipulation we discuss. Was 300 years inserted into our timeline? Are we actually living in the 1700s? Find out about all of this, and more, in this episode.

Many philosophers and scientists have come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as free will. Some experiments seem to back up that view.

A small village in Eastern Europe in 1725, saw the start of an outbreak of Vampires, after reports of the undead attacking locals. Word reached the Emperor, and the military, church, and medical professionals were sent to investigate. What they found in the graves shocked them. Many bodies were described as being in a state of vampirism. This story is not from folklore, but found in official government documents and autopsies from the time.    If you want to help fund our research, consider becoming a Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/c/TQMpod   

We spent the night at a haunted bakery. We talk to people who live and work there. They tell us their stories of; a screaming child at 3am, a poltergeist who pinches staff, shadow people sightings, a spooky hand that closes doors, a head in a washing machine, and a baker who had a terrifying encounter with a Jinn.   If you want to help us fund new field trips, please consider supporting us at https://www.patreon.com/c/TQMpod 

We begin by returning to The Cassiopeian Project where an entity has been unravelling the true origin of the UFOs seen over large parts of the US and UK recently. With alien agendas in mind, we then look at historic encounters with bipedal entities, including a pony who was bothered by wrestling pixies.  Join in at Patreon.com/TQMpod for early access to our episodes, ad free shows, extra content and a great community. 

So much of how we think of Vampires is entwined with Bram Stoker's book Dracula, but what folklore inspired Stoker. We explore the pre Dracula era that led to the rise of the Vampire; from ancient blood sucking entities, to Eastern European graveyards, to Western paranoia. Leaning heavily on Nick Broom's book 'Vampire A New History'.    Help support our podcast by becoming a Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/tqmpod 

The huge distances involved in communicating with possible alien civilisations means that it would take centuries to have a conversation governed by the speed of light. But a new idea known as Quantum Tunnelling means that we may be able to talk to our next door neighbours, in space, in real time. The method for this communication could also mean that aliens have been using novel methods to communicate with humans telepathically - something we know is a trait of many close encounters.  This video is referenced as some of the source material we discuss  - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynRXJsgUwaI Please join us for early ad-free access, extra content and a great community at www.patreon.com/TQMpod

Stories of superhuman strength feel like urban legends, but there are many real life examples, in fact The Hulk was inspired by one witnessed by it's creator. We have stories of a mother lifting a two tonne car for five minutes to save her child, a 72 year old man lifting three times the world record, and a woman taking on a polar bear to save a group of children.

There are lots of stories about psychic surgeons - often they are proven fakes who use chicken entrails to simulate bloody surgery, promising to cure diseases that mainstream doctors have been unable to treat effectively.  But there is one case that stands out, and may well be real.

When strange noises began bothering the folk of this small military town nobody could have predicted the havoc that would ensue. From UFO sightings to poltergeist-like activity, Warminster became one of the most visited paranormal destinations in the UK - but, was it real or did one man play a part in creating a flap about nothing?

In 1950 Nobel Prize winner Enrico Fermi asked the question "where are all the aliens?". It sparked huge debate as to why we have not encountered advanced extra terrestrial life, and theories that we are alone in the universe. We look into those arguments, and discover the 'Fermi Paradox' is not a paradox and has very little to do with Enrico Fermi.    If you want to solve the paradox of being able to listen to this (and other exclusive episodes) before they are published, become a Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/TQMpod  

We spent the night in one of the world's most haunted prisons. We were not expecting anything spooky. But as you will hear, about half way through, in terms of the paranormal it all kicked off!

We delve into scientific research that may prove we live in a simulated reality. What seems like computer code has been found in quantum physics equations and DNA.

From the hippy times of the 1960's, a new thinking about plant consciousness emerged - perhaps the humble onion could actually think for itself? It sounds bizarre, but even the CIA was interested in the spying abilities of the humble houseplant. This week we look at how this thinking gave us cybernetics, several horror movies and a modern scientist determined to prove that plants really can think for themselves. We also revisit the Findhorn garden, the god Pan, and the potato king. We hope you enjoy the show, and we'd love you to help us make more by joining us at www.patreon.com/TQMpod

When psychiatrist Dr. Richard Gallagher was asked by an Exorcist to assess someone who claimed to be possessed by demons, the Dr. was skeptical about the idea of demonic possession. However, after working with Exorcist for many years he came to believe, that though most cases were due to psychological conditions, some were genuine cases of demonic involvement. We discuss his book "Demonic Foes'   If you or someone you know are struggling with their mental health, here are a couple of links:  In the UK: https://www.mind.org.uk/information-support/guides-to-support-and-services/seeking-help-for-a-mental-health-problem/mental-health-helplines/   In the US: https://www.samhsa.gov/find-help/national-helpline  In other countries just search free mental health support.   

When 'The Man' was published as a dream experiment, the image gained much interest. We look at the similarities between this phenomenon and Indrid Cold, and conduct our own remote viewing experiment.

In 1986 two smartly dressed men attacked newscaster Dan Rather, shouting at him "Kenneth, what's the frequency?". The story that followed saw the incident featured in literature, art and music.

We often think of UFOs as huge machines which have travelled millions of miles to observe Earth. But what if they weren't all that way? Tiny drones, small machines and an infamous ball all appear this week - as does a scientific look at some strange material found in the ocean, verified by academic sources.  For more paranormal shenanigans join us at www.patreon.com/TQMpod  - we have a lively community, exclusive episodes and more.

For this year's Stone Watch we upped our game. On our road trip we took in the Rollright Stones, and of course ended up at the Hoar Stone in Enstone to watch it "move" at midnight.

We begin by examining the beliefs of the Hopi people, where we realise that the warnings given to them by the Ant People sound very like the messages given to contactees in the latter part of the 20th century. Is there a pro-human agenda amongst our celestial cousins, or is something much darker keeping itself veiled? Where we end up is, once again, a bit disturbing.  Become part of the team at www.patreon.com/TQMpod - join today!
