Join Rob for a special Halloween episode as he reads from Trish and Rob's short story collection "The Outliers"... "The Devil's Chair is a story based on an urban legend about a brick chair that faces two gravestones in a cemetery in central Florida, north of Orlando. The cemetery is located outside the spiritualist community of Cassadaga, which offers weekly ghost tours of the town. In this story, the spookiness is enhanced when a reporter looking for a Halloween story visits the cemetery at midnight as he investigates the urban legend." *MacGregor, Rob; MacGregor, Trish.

Recording From '75 Found In Closet, Record Company Releases As A Single#newmusic #thelimits #boxtops #hermanshermits #ricklevy #flowerpower #60smusic #theletter #rachel #record #musician #guitarist Luxury Records (distributed by Cleopatra Records) is very pleased and proud to announce the release of perhaps the most special and significant song from THE LIMITS called “Rachel.” Perennial popmeisters, THE LIMITS have gained a worldwide cult following with their original songs filled with brilliant hooks, jangle guitars, and clean tight production.Written in 1975 by Limits leader RICK LEVY, “Rachel” is the true story of the loss of a baby girl at birth by Rick and his then wife. The song was long forgotten until Limits co-founder Rook Jones, found some demo singles, and sent them to Levy. After sending to Cleopatra Records (the Limits label), President Brian Perera immediately asked to release the song because of how hauntingly beautiful and powerful it is. Cleopatra will also feature Rachel on their Tracks of the Week promotions.RICK LEVY is currently manager, guitarist/vocalist with Memphis Music Hall of Fame artists THE BOX TOPS. He has also been bandleader/tour manager for Tommy Roe, Hermans Hermits starring Peter Noone, Jay & the Techniques and more. In 2018, Crossroad Press released Rick's memoir, “High in the Mid 60s.” It can be ordered from: Website: http://www.ricklevy.comTo purchase The Limits “Rachel” single: https://orcd.co/6avb8pkFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/rick.levy.75The Limits fanpage: http://www.facebook.com/groups/533610423393062https://www.facebook.com/groups/1493893264090763Thanks for tuning in, please be sure to click that subscribe button and give this a thumbs up!!Email: thevibesbroadcast@gmail.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/listen_to_the_vibes_/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thevibesbroadcastnetworkLinktree: https://linktr.ee/the_vibes_broadcastTikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMeuTVRv2/Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheVibesBrdcstTruth: https://truthsocial.com/@KoyoteFor all our social media and other links, go to: Linktree: https://linktr.ee/the_vibes_broadcastPlease subscribe, like, and share!

  “For me, it's always been about being the bridesmaid, not the bride,” Rick Levy said in a recent interview at his St. Augustine Beach condo, his 16-year-old dog Windy at his feet. Levy has shared a stage with the likes of Bo Diddley, Jerry Lee Lewis and James Brown. He's gigged at shrines to rock like The Bitter End in New York City and Philadelphia's Electric Factory. And he got a surprise kiss from Priscilla Presley while being accepted into the Memphis Music Hall of Fame as part of the revived lineup of the Box Tops. The guitarist and vocalist has lived life on the fringes of one of music's brightest eras: the 1960s. And though he never broke through to A-star level, Levy said he wouldn't change a thing. His 50-year career as a musician, songwriter, manager and promoter has earned him longevity in the business. More than that, it's earned him a decent living. Levy can tell a few good stories about his rock ‘n' roll days — and does — in his new memoir, “High in the Mid-'60s: How to Have a Fabulous Life in Music Without Being Famous.” The book was recently put out by indie publisher, Crossroad Press.

Pole Holes! The hard-to-find holes of Mother Earth that so many men in history have yearned to go exploring in... It sounds dirty, but alas it is more crazy than anything else. From Edmond Halley of the comet fame to Captain John Cleves Symmes Jr, men throughout history have had theories on what was in the earth and how to get there. In Fact, Symmes came up with the Symmes Theory of Concentric Spheres and lobbied hard for the U.S. government to send men to the poles to prove (debunk) his theory. We talk all that this week, plus Kentucky comes a calling, Nazis make their stupid appearance because we are talking woo-woo topics so of course they do, and Conspiracy Bot let's us all know what REALLY happened to Queen Elizabeth. All that and more this week on the podcast that isn't hosted by pole experts, but we will take a look, Hysteria 51! Special thanks to this week's sources: Books / Papers / Journals-Wallace, I.

https://www.lightingthevoid.comLive weeknights 9 pm-MidnightThe MacGregors have been professional writers for more than 30 years. They have mined numerous synchronicities and have fruitfully used the knowledge derived from them. A synchronistic meeting on a flight in the 1980s, for example, resulted in their leading adventure tours to South America for Avianca Airlines. One synchronicity after another led to their many non-fiction books on dreams, psychic development, astrology, yoga, the tarot, divination, and animal symbolism. In 2003, they took over the writing of the popular Sydney Omarr astrology series.http://www.synchrosecrets.com/Music By: Chronox at www.chronoxofficial.comGuitar By Bundy They are also novelists.

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives the guys start the show off talking about space junk. How big is the problem and what are we going to do about it. Few humans have ever stepped foot in space but as a species we've already managed to make a mess of Earth's backyard. Space junk from satellites and rockets is crowding out spacecraft and telecommunication satellites in Earth's orbit, and putting humans at risk. It's a big problem, and getting bigger every day. Then, robots can be terrifying all on their own, but stick a human being inside and give them control of the mechanical muscles that provide superhuman strength and you've got a recipe for a horror movie. South Korean robotics firm Hankook Mirae Technology has done exactly that, and its Method-2 robot just took its first steps towards world domination this week. The robot is just one year into development, but it's already a hulking beast that could give anyone nightmares. The bot stands over 13 feet tall and weighs over one and a half tons. Its sturdy metal arms weigh nearly 300 pounds each, and with its human-like hands it's a spitting image of the intimidating militarized robot suits that play a starring role in the sci-fi flick Avatar. Then, Greg Newkirk over on the Week In Weird posted a very interesting encounter a man had with the legendary "Hat Man" all the way back in 1969 somewhere in Northern Virginia. Then, a 12-year-old boy on Wednesday said he saw an unidentified biped he believes was a “Bigfoot” creature. The middle school student, who provided his identity but was kept anonymous as per the standard code of journalism ethics regarding disclosure of the identity of a minor, said he his brother were at a friend’s orchad in Beaverton when they allegedly spotted the animal. “It was probably around 6:30 p.m.,” he said. “The sun was going down and when I saw it, he pointed it out too.” The eyewitness claims he wasn’t sure what it was until he realized the familiar outline of a primate. “I think it was a Bigfoot. It was very large, about 7 feet tall. From where I was standing, it looked very tall.” After the break Cam and Kyle talk about the incredible Ingo Swann. INGO SWANN (September 14, 1933 - January 31, 2013) was internationally known as an advocate and researcher of the exceptional powers of the human mind, and as a leading figure in governmental and scientific projects to investigate and identify the scope of subtle human perceptions. Since 1970, his name and work have been incorporated into most contemporary books about PSI and the "paranormal." He was featured in four volumes of Time-Life's bestselling series entitled Mysteries of the Unknown. His contributive work has achieved broad media notice and been featured in every major American/British television documentary on the subject of PSI phenomena and Remote Viewing. Swann has been interviewed and/or profiled in dozens of magazines, including Time, Reader's Digest, Smithsonian and Newsweek. Swann's early work in parapsychology, as a noted and highly successful "guinea pig," made him a psychic superstar in that field. His subsequent research on behalf of American intelligence interests, including that of the CIA, won him top PSI-spy status. His involvement in government research projects required the discovery of innovative approaches toward the actual realizing of subtle human energies. He viewed PSI powers as only parts of the larger spectrum of human sensing systems. Swann was the author of over ten books. His publisher, Crossroad Press, is reissuing many titles as ebooks, audio books and paperback books, among them, Penetration: The Question of Extraterrestrial and Human Telepathy; Purple Fables; Psychic Sexuality; The Great Apparitions of Mary; The Wisdom Category; and Star Fire, with more to come. Ingo Swann was also a visionary artist and his exquisite works can be found at The American Visionary Art Museum, The Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, Edgar Cayce's Association for Research and Enlightenment (A.R.E.), The Leslie Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art, and ONE National Gay and Lesbian Archives at the USC Libraries. His extensive data base of writings on what he considered the Superpowers of the Human Biomind are available on this website in the Researcher section, while his collection of research, books and correspondences is housed within Special Collections, Ingram Library at the University of West Georgia.
