Podcast appearances and mentions of Sharon Hill

This week we examine two recent articles about coelacanth discoveries. Which one is real and which one is fake?! Further reading: Fake California Coelacanth First record of a living coelacanth from North Maluku, Indonesia A real coelacanth photo: A fake coelacanth photo (or at least the article is a fake) [photo taken from the first article linked above]: A real coelacanth photo [photo from the second article linked above]: Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. I had another episode planned for this week, but then I read an article by geologist Sharon Hill and decided the topic she researched was so important we need to cover it here. No, it's not the dire wolf—that's next week. It's the coelacanth. We talked about the coelocanth way back in episode two, with updates in a few later episodes. Because episode two is so old that it's dropped off the podcast feed, and to listen to it you have to actually go to the podcast's website, I'm going to quote from it extensively here. In December of 1938, a museum curator in South Africa named Marjorie Courtenay Lattimer got a message from a friend of hers, a fisherman named Hendrick Goosen, who had just arrived with a new catch. Lattimer was on the lookout for specimens for her tiny museum, and Goosen was happy to let her have anything interesting. Lattimer went down to the dock. Then she noticed THE FISH. It was five feet long, or 1.5 meters, blueish with shimmery silvery markings, with strange lobed fins and scales like armored plates. She described it as the most beautiful fish she had ever seen. She didn't know what it was, but she wanted it. She took the fish back to the museum in a taxi and went through her reference books to identify it. Imagine it. She's flipped through a couple of books but nothing looks even remotely like her fish. Then she turns a page and there's a picture of the fish--but it's extinct. It's been extinct for some 66 million years. But it's also a very recently alive fish resting on ice in the back of her museum. Lattimer sketched the fish and sent the drawing and a description to a professor at Rhodes University, J.L.B. Smith. But Smith was on Christmas break and didn't get her message until January 3rd. In the meantime, Lattimer's museum director told her the fish was a grouper and not worth the ice it was lying on. December is the middle of summer in South Africa, so to keep the fish from rotting away, she had it mounted. Then Smith sent her a near-hysterical cable that read, “MOST IMPORTANT PRESERVE SKELETON AND GILLS.” Oops. Smith got a little obsessed about finding another coelacanth. He offered huge rewards for a specimen. But it wasn't until December of 1952 that a pair of local fishermen on the island of Anjuan, about halfway between Tanzania and Madagascar, turned up with a fish they called the gombessa. It was a second coelacanth. Everyone was happy. The fishermen got a huge reward—a hundred British pounds—and Smith had an intact coelacanth. He actually cried when he saw it. Most people have heard of the coelacanth because its discovery is such a great story. But why is the fish such a big deal? The coelacanth isn't just a fish that was supposed to be extinct and was discovered alive and well, although that's pretty awesome. It's a strange fish, more closely related to mammals and reptiles than it is to ordinary ray-finned fish. The only living fish even slightly like it is the lungfish, which we talked about in episode 55. While the coelacanth is unique in a lot of ways, it's those lobed fins that are really exciting. It's not a stretch to say its paired fins look like nubby legs with frills instead of digits. Until DNA sequencing in 2013, many researchers thought the coelacanth was a sort of missing link between water-dwelling animals and those that first developed the ability to walk on land. As it happens, the lungfish turns out to be closer to that stage t...

First we hit on a few current events, including a new monolith outside of Las Vegas and a "shadow" CDC website fake. Sharon Hill joins us again, this time to discuss her new "Pop Cryptid Spectator" and all the delightful cryptidabelia that inspires it. She's noticed a rise in paranormal thinking when it comes to cryptids, as opposed to the old-school zoological framing. How has the internet fed into cryptid spread as well as evolution? She also notes that any cryptozoological gatekeepers are now long gone, so it's a wild heyday of "anything goes" as cryptids turn into blobby, cute versions of their old selves and even Skibidi Toilet has a chance at being labelled a cryptid. We touch on snack foods, movies, games, town mascots, and festivals like Pennsylvania's "Squonkapalooza."

Matt speaks with Sharon Hill about the Stone Tape Theory, a common explanation for ghosts in paranormal circles. Matt and Sharon discuss the history of the concept, its plausibility, and how it is often applied to locations that don't actually meet the conditions required for it to work. Sharon A. HIll is an independent researcher, geologist, author, and science communicator with 25+ years of research experience regarding anomalous natural phenomena, paranormal popular culture, pseudoscience, cryptozoology, Forteana, and geologic topics.

First, Celestia goes over her high points and low points of CSI Con 2023, then we move on to a few tidbits Ben came across. Sharon Hill joins us again, this time for a main segment on Gef the talking mongoose, a celebrity on the Isle of Man back in the 1930s. A new movie delves into (and somewhat mangles) the mystery, featuring Simon Pegg as Nandor Fodor and Christopher Lloyd as Harry Price. The "mystery" of Gef tapdances around so many facets of Forteana... a talking animal, "earth spirit," clairvoyance, poltergeists, psychic manifestations, and a clever young girl with time on her hands. With Sharon's help, we go over what the records say, what British libel law curtailed the records from saying, and what the movie tries to say today.

Happy Halloween! We have a super spooky episode for you this week, a full five out of five bats on the spookiness scale, all about the not-deer of modern folklore! Join our Patreon and get bonus episodes and other perks! You can also buy copies of the Beyond Bigfoot & Nessie book and Kate's other books! Further reading: Not Deer, or a Deer? Days before Halloween, creepy trail photo reveals deer standing on 2 legs in NC woods Sharon A Hill's Spooky Geology (not about the not-deer but a lot of fun even so) The white-tailed deer uses its bright white tail to warn other deer of danger: White-tailed deer sometimes stand on their hind legs to reach vegetation or fight: Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. Happy Halloween! It's time for our spookiest episode of the year! It's rated five out of five bats on our spookiness scale. If you like scary stories on Halloween, make some cocoa and popcorn and sit back to be spooked. If you're not really a fan of the scarier stuff, you might want to skip this one. Some people also really don't like hearing about diseases, and that's one of the things we'll be discussing. We're going to talk about a really weird cryptid called the not-deer. Before we get started, though, we have a little bit of housekeeping, as the big podcasters call it. First, I want to reassure everyone who has sent me suggestions that I'm trying to get to them as soon as possible. I love how many people listen and want to share their enthusiasm about animals, but I do feel bad that some people have been waiting a really long time for their suggestion to make it off of the massive humongous ever-growing ideas list into an episode. At the same time, I've been thinking of ways to make money off the podcast without running ads. I make Strange Animals Podcast because I love helping people learn about animals and science, and I also really value the people who are able to support the podcast through Patreon. But I do put an awful lot of work into each episode, so much that it's basically a second job. I thought about it, and decided to make a new Patreon tier that's a little different from the others. It's called the terror bird tier, and when I drew the art for it I forgot that terror birds didn't have actual teeth, but we'll call that artistic liberty. It's a $25 a month tier, and not only do you get access to the bonus episodes that all patrons can listen to, after three months at that tier you can message me your episode idea AND tell me what week you'd like that episode to run. I've limited the new tier to 25 backers, to make it fair for people who don't have the money for that, and honestly I don't expect to get very many people at that level at all, because that's a lot of money, but I thought I'd give it a try. Finally, the Beyond Bigfoot & Nessie book is still available, as are my other books, and in 2024 I'm planning to attend some conventions again to sell copies of the book. I'll let you know where I'll be as I find out, in case you want to come say hi. I'm also very slowly working on a sequel to the book, tentatively titled Small Mysteries, which is all about mystery animals that are really small, like frogs and insects and teeny fish. It probably won't be ready to publish for a few years, so I'm working hard to make sure it's got a whole lot of footnotes with references. That's one of the things I regret not doing for Beyond Bigfoot & Nessie. Now, with all that out of the way, on to the spookiness! The not-deer is a cryptid, or mystery creature, that's mostly reported from the Appalachian region of the United States. I live in the southern Appalachians near the Smoky Mountains, but I'd never heard of the not-deer until a few months ago. I subscribe to Sharon Hill's Strange Times newsletter, and also love her Spooky Geology website where you can learn all the science behind weird events like earthquake lights.

This week, after we take a moment to tally exactly how many kids were killed by rainbow fentanyl passed off as Halloween candy, we bring Sharon Hill on to speak about the excitement around a decade ago when Dr. Melba Ketchum announced she had tested and confirmed Bigfoot DNA. Ben sets the stage in terms of Bigfoot evidence timeline and the rise of genetic technology. Once a vacuum became apparent, it seemed inevitable that someone would eventually become a self-taught geneticist, open an unaccredited lab, and find some genetic evidence for our big hairy friend.

Hour 1 of The Dawn Stensland Show: Florida is bracing for Hurricane Ian—a Category 3 Storm which is expected to hit the Tampa Bay-area particularly hard. During a press conference on Monday, Governor Ron DeSantis said 20,000 powerline workers are prepared to address widespread power outages. On Tuesday, Mayor Jim Kenney will sign an executive order banning guns at Philadelphia recreation centers across the city. According to an NBC10 report, many city residents doubted the order will have a substantial impact on violent crime. In a letter addressed to Merrick Garland on Monday, Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) demanded the Attorney General answer for a seemingly over-the-top raid on the home of a pro-life activist from Bucks County. A judge has denied a motion to dismiss manslaughter charges against three Sharon Hill police officers accused of shooting 8-year-old Fanta Bility in August of 2021. Should schools be embracing gender affirmation policies without consent from parents? Listeners call-in to discuss.

Hour 1 of The Dawn Stensland Show: A training mishap during explosive response training at the State Correctional Institution in Montgomery County, PA left several officers injured. The F.B.I. is investigating the cause of the accidental detonation. In a hearing scheduled for September 26th, a Delaware County judge will decide whether charges will be dropped against three Sharon Hill police officers accused of manslaughter in the death of 8-year-old Fanta Bility. According to a 6ABC news report, several long-time family-owned businesses in Ocean City, NJ will close permanently over the next month. Eagles Quarterback Jalen Hurts announced that he will be partnering with Penn Medicine Trauma Center to help combat gun violence and bring awareness to the trauma suffered by victims of gun violence. During a House Oversight Committee hearing on Thursday, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez attacked her Republican colleague, Rep. Clay Higgins for his questioning of environmental lawyer Raya Salter. Ocasio Cortez stated: “men who treat women like that in public, I fear how they treat them in private.” However, after listening to audio of the referenced exchange, AOC's suggestions of verbal abuse were unfounded and comically exaggerated. Were Alexandria Ocasio Cortez' accusations over the top—even for her? Listeners weigh-in.

Recorded 31 July 2022. Ms Ann and Richard briefly discuss the Pauline Hanson and the welcome to Country, the daily prayer said each morning at Federal Parliament, a team building experience, a Dyson vacuum experience, Graggle Simpson, sleep paralysis and dog dreams, hottest day in England and how the naked ape has changed the world environment, a Will Durant quote wrongly attributed and the book it came from, lack of value for money of health insurance, anti-vax colleagues, the heavy rains, Sharon Hill hates everyone, a public urinal experience, and garden air blowers. They then go on a very longer discussion on gender and the purity spiral which at the end they are still none the wiser.   

1 year ago, right outside of Philadelphia, in a town called Sharon Hill, local police shot and killed an 8 year old girl named Fanta Bility, and tried to claim it was in a shootout. But there was no shootout. And police have offered no credible explanation on why they unloaded their guns into the car of Fanta's family - killing Fanta, shooting her sister, and injuring other innocent bystanders. Now, police are saying that since it can't be proven which of their bullets killed Fanta, that none of them should be convicted. So we MUST take action to stand up for this family. ACTION STEP: Click the link in my bio on Instagram and you'll see everything you need to do to email and call every single person on this case, OK?

11:00 - Dawn returns discussing the shootings in the past couple of days, starting with the one that took place at a local rec center.   11:05 - A Philadelphia mom is suing the school district over mask mandates and the rules that surround non-masking students. 11:10 - **What does the CHOP policy lab say regarding masks in schools? NJEA takes aim at parents going to school board meetings to defend kids from what they think is wrong.   11:20 - The NAACP is out in Sharon Hill over the death of Fanta Bility. They want full transparency on how the child was shot.    11:30 - *Dr. E.J. Antoni joins the show again to talk about the economy, how restaurants are impacted, plummeting home ownership rates, insane debt, and how Biden has done the complete opposite of what he set out to do.   11:50 - Allen Weisselberg has pleaded guilty and will cooperate with officials. Texas National Guard is under fire for video of officials opening a gate onto a private property. The CDC celebrates 75 years as the lead public health agency and they commemorate by holding a meeting over how the agency works.    11:55 - Finally we end the show with thoughts by Dawn

Defense attorneys for three former Sharon Hill police officers charged with killing 8-year-old Fanta Bility after a high school football game are asking a judge to dismiss manslaughter charges against them. I speak with Malcolm Yate, Convenor of the Delaware County Black Caucus about the case and why a coalition of concerned citizens is demanding justice for Fanta.delcoblackcaucus@gmail.comThe 11th annual BlackStar Film Festival takes place August 3-7, 2022. The Festival is an annual celebration of the visual and storytelling traditions of the African diaspora and of global Indigenous communities, highlighting films by Black, Brown and Indigenous artists from around the world. The event will be offered in a hybrid format, with select in person screenings, live programs, and panels at Penn Live Arts at Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Philadelphia, and online events accessible to a global audience. I speak with Maori Karmael Holmes, Chief Executive Officer, Artistic Director, and Founder of BlackStar Projects and Nehad Khader, Festival Director at BlackStar Projects.https://www.blackstarfest.org/Instagram (@blackstarfest)Twitter (@BlackStarFest)Facebook (BlackStar Film Festival) YouTube (BlackStar Projects) First, I begin with a long-delayed interview that was meant to air before the March of Dimes Walk for Babies in June - then came the mass shooting in Uvalde Tx and then another mass shooting here in Philadelphia on South Street. While the March for Babies has come and gone - the issues they highlight including maternal mortality especially in Black and Brown communities are still relevant. Here's my interview with the March of Dimes ambassador Mom Sanya Brown.https://www.marchofdimes.org/

Hour 1 of The Dawn Stensland Show: A 13-year-old girl was shot through the back of her right ear last Friday evening. In June, she was one of the witnesses to the murder of a 73-year-old who was beaten with a traffic cone by a group of kids. Investigators believe the shooting may have been an accident, according to Fox29 news. The Philadelphia Police Department is at risk of losing its state accreditation. According to reports, the revocation of accreditation stems from the city's adoption of the “Driving Equality Bill” which forbids police officers from pulling over drivers for “minor driving infractions.” Attorneys for three Sharon Hill police officers have requested that the manslaughter charges filed against them in the shooting death of an 8-year-old girl be dropped. Fanta Bility was tragically killed while leaving a high school football game with her family. A 27-year-old man in Lehigh Valley was strangled to death by his pet snake. While speaking at the America First Promise Lunch, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich criticized John Fetterman for supposedly preferring the “marijuana flag” to the American flag. Gingrich said he believes Dr. Mehmet Oz will beat Fetterman in their Senate race. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), Pennsylvania is the second largest natural gas-producing state in the country. Will John Fetterman's public opposition to fracking hurt him in the November election?

We're joined by Sharon Hill to look into the vital 1970s question: Was Noah's Ark Real? (And does it disprove Darwin's theory of evolution through natural selection?)  spoilers: No and No.  The episode opens with "footage" (re-creations, repurposed footage) of the famous 1889 Flood. The footage in the movie appears to be from a short film called The World that Perished (1977) but we couldn't find a version of that to share.  The 1976 film In Search of Noah's Ark is available (in poor quality) on YouTube.  Nimoy reminds of us the other Ark with this library fashion-alert moment. The episode re-creates the famous "undressing in excitement" story of George Smith discovering the Utnapishtim version of the flood myth.  (Later in the episode we get a better shot of Nimoy in the Library.) We discussed the "Ararat Anomaly" briefly. The many searches for Noah's Ark. Physicist Rainer Berger (1930 - 2003) puts a lot of fake evidence to rest with his radiocarbon dating skills. Creationist Henry Morris "an expert in the flow of water??" Jeb discusses Abzu briefly. The "Creation Research Society" is behind a lot of the content in this episode. The episode calls him "Dr. Clifford Burdick" but he doesn't appear to have actually been a PhD.   Burdick reminded some of us of Reverend Kane from Poltergeist 2. There is some mention of the Younger Dryas - a favorite of Hancockian enthusiasts.   Many cultures around the world have flood myths. Many cultures around the world have floods. There may be some connection?   Discussion of the site called Doggerland. Warm Mineral Springs in Florida. The Black Sea Deluge hypothesis.   Burdick did look a little lost in the desert at one point...

Bruce Castor, attorney representing the family of slain 8-year-old Fanta Bility, joins the Dom Giordano Program for an update on the filing of a civil case against police using excessive force in irresponsibly returning fire against a drive-by shooter at a high school football game. Castor explains that both he and the family of Fanta Bility were left unsatisfied by the Sharon Hill leaders after the tragic incident. Castor explains what he believes to be missteps by local police during the pursuit of said suspects, and tells the underlying issues that he believes led to the tragedy.

Sharon Hill joins us to speak about Spooky Geology and Ley Lines! We discuss the origins of the lines before they became associated with mystical ideas, leys as a way to connect with landscape, how they're thought of in the paranormal community today, connections to UFOs (of course!), a little bit of Stone Tape Theory, and some real geological processes that might have been an influence on the idea.

Residual hauntings are often explained by the “Stone Tape Theory.” We delve into the history and thinking behind this theory on this week's edition of Unpleasant Dreams. --- Cassandra Harold is your host.

Neither interacting with the environment around him nor being affected by it. Almost as if the world around him was merely being replayed. Seen, but not truly there. Such a mysterious figure has all the hallmarks of a residual haunting. The oft-cited Stone Tape Theory is the proposed mechanism behind residual hauntings. The idea is that emotion unleashes energy that is then saved to the most common mineral on earth, quartz crystal. That emotional energy behaves as if it were being recorded on video tape; a recording which can then be replayed under the right conditions. This suggests that apparitions are not classic ghosts in the way that we usually think of them, but a replay that has been imprinted on the objects or atmosphere surrounding the original events.  While it was not always known as “the Stone Tape theory,” the basic framework for this kind of imprinting was in place for nearly 200 years. In tracing this framework, we begin with Charles Babbage, a mathematician known primarily as “the father of computing” and the inventor of the first programmable computer.  In 1817, Babbage suggested that each spoken word leaves an everlasting imprint on the air itself. It can only be heard for a short period of time, but the word itself remains there, hanging silently in the air, forever. This suggests nothing about replay, as in the Stone Tape Theory, but brings the idea of events being “stored” into the conversation. In 1842, physician and physiology professor Joseph Rodes Buchanan introduced the world to the concept of psychometry, or the reading of the past from physical objects. Buchanan felt that all objects radiate an energy, which can transfer the object's history to a properly sensitive person if they touch the object. He would go on to write in the Manual Of Psychometry in 1893: The discoveries of Psychometry will enable us to explore the history of man, as those of geology enable us to explore the history of the earth. There are mental fossils for psychologists as well as mineral fossils for the geologists; and I believe that hereafter the psychologist and the geologist will go hand in hand The linking of geology to psychic phenomena, the persistence of history through physical objects, all seem a clear predecessor of the Stone Tape theory. An investigative group called The Society for Psychical Research (also known as SPR) was founded on the 20th of February in 1882 , and it continues to this day. Within a few years of its creation, founder and investigator Edmund Gurney, alongside fellow investigator and eventual president of the society Eleanor Sidgwick, suggested that there were materials that could cache real world events. These events could be replayed under the correct circumstances or for the correct individual, harkening back to Buchanan's theory. The concept appears to have been forgotten for a period of 60 years or so until then-president of SPR, HH Price, resurrected it in the early 1940s. He suggested that “psychic ether,” the dimension existing between the physical and the spiritual, could allow corporeal materials to retain the remains of remembrances and long-ago emotions.   Archeologist Thomas Charles Lethbridge expanded on this idea, spurred on by his time living in the notoriously haunted Hole House, suggesting that it was the energy fields that surrounded objects which stored memory and events, resulting in the appearance of ghosts or residual hauntings. His first true paranormal writing, 1961's Ghost and Ghoul, spread this theory far and wide. Lethbridge is popularly credited with originating the term “Stone Tape Theory”, which renowned investigator Sharon Hill points out is quite impossible.  The term itself originates from a 1972 television movie, The Stone Tape, which wasn't released until well after Lethbridge's death in 1971. The film dealt quite closely with the theory that Lethbridge had put forward, though it's unclear whether Lethbridge's work was directly influential on the film or not. Sharon Hill further traces the evolution of Stone Tape Theory in her article The Stone Tape Theory of Hauntings through a 1988 book called The Secret Language of Stone in which the author, Don Robins, suggests a mechanism for Stone Tape Theory (a term not used in the book, but the concept is clearly the same.) He posits that memories and events are stored as energy, and that energy is stored within irregularities found in crystals. The correct physical or psychic pressure triggers a playback of these memories or events. Hill, herself a geologist, finds this theory unconvincing.  Hill then brings the evolution of Stone Tape Theory into modern day.  She points out authors who believe the earth to behave as a photographic plate, and those who involve quantum physics in their theories, bringing the most modern scientific notions into play. What this complex and varied history of thought leaves us with is the present version of the Stone Tape Theory: that residual hauntings are created by the impression of memories within stone, the very bones of the earth, which can be replayed in a similar manner to video or audio tape.  Youtube user Strangeries has claimed to have experienced this personally. He describes the incident in his video The Stone Tape Theory. When he was a teenager, he and several of his friends were hanging out and listening to music in his bedroom. The room faced an extremely busy highway. He heard a woman's blood curdling screams accompanied by a dog howling, followed by the sound of gunshots and then silence. His friends had heard the same thing, which ought to have been impossible to hear from their location, given both the traffic and their music. He ruled out the possibility that they had overheard a literal murder, and has come to believe that what they heard was a replay of a past event.  Stories like Strangeries' are common. Ghosts all over are reported going through the same actions over and over. Many people report seeing the same apparition carrying out the same task, such as the Winchester Mystery House's Wheelbarrow Ghost, wherein a spectre continues his work with his wheelbarrow, endlessly. Similarly, the St. Louis Ghost Train famously rolls along the tracks, shining a bright white light and startling passersby, through eternity..  In terms of modern day science and the plausibility of the various theories behind the Stone Tape theory Sharon Hill feels that they're entirely implausible.  Hill says –  There are specific technical components of these systems (like magnetic heads on recorders) that do not have a natural analog. The earth's magnetic field may be strong enough to align the polarity of newly produced rock from mid-ocean ridges, but it is not strong enough or precise enough to imprint a distinct sound or image into random existing crystals in surrounding materials. Emotion is not an energy like electricity (a stream of charged particles we can measure.) Perhaps one day science will discover a means by which the Stone Tape Theory might operate, but until then it's all anecdotes and speculation, as believers continue to search out what might be behind the phenomenon of residual hauntings.

Cameron McCormick, writer on marine monster mysteries and sea serpent superfan, drops into the cabin to talk about the work and influence of Bernard Heuvelmans, remembered as the 'father of cryptozoology.' Heuvelmans was important as an early figure in the codification of cryptozoology, but many of his ideas were to remain unique to him in the decades that followed. Despite his respected status as a pioneer, not many who followed built upon the specific zoological ideas he came up with to explain monster sightings. In this episode we focus particularly on Heuvelmans' classification system for sea serpent sightings. He believed there were (approx) nine different categories of unknown enormous underwater animals.

Grab your sticks and join Jeb and Blake as they go looking for water flowing underground. Same as it ever was? Not hardly. Special content in this episode courtesy Sharon Hill. Be sure and check out her article on dowsing for water at Spooky Geology. The "earth, air, fire, and water" idea comes from Empedocles.  Early in the episode Francis Hitching holds up a stack of paperbacks. I looked them all up (affiliate link to Amazon). The stack of books he puts down includes: Dowsing: One Man's Way by J. Scott Elliot Dowsing, Water Witches, and Divining Rods for the Millions by Howard V. Chambers Modern Dowsing: The Dowser's Handbook by Raymond Willey Practical Dowsing by A. H. Bell Pendulum Power (1977 edition shown) by Greg Nielsen and Joseph Polansky And finally: Dowsing: The PSI Connection by Christopher Hitching Tom Graves Author of "The Diviner's Handbook: A guide to the timeless art of Dowsing" (1986) Book online https://leanpub.com/needlesofstone/read He's still alive, still writing, and has a Twitter account. When he's not writing fiction and new age - he's an IT and Business consultant of 30 years. Inner London Educational Authority https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inner_London_Education_Authority The dry well belongs to John Mitchell. He calls in Dr. Arthur Bailey. Former president of British Society of Dowsers An article by Dr. BaileyDr Arthur Bailey was a senior lecturer in Electronics and Electrical Engineering at the University of Bradford. At some point he got very interested in botanical healing and founded Bailey Flower Essences - which sold plant essences and was closely affiliated with homeopathy.   This episode really inspired me to some show-notes silliness.   The episode had some stunning visuals in it. This looked like an album cover to me.     We don't know who THIS guy is, but he probably was trying to hide from all the Muggles.   Pat Lucas was the only professional British female dowser. The "biofeedback" device from the episode:   And then there's THIS machine - the one used by Harry Lovegrove. New Scientist (New Scientist Feb 16, 1978) article discussing Lovegrove using child's dowsing kit for "amazing results" at "laying down dowsing lines." Whatever that means. The SPR has a lengthy article about dowsing that includes believer and skeptical content. Stan Shepherd - the dowser and well driller. We're of mixed opinions. I think it looks like he's having a heart attack, Jeb prefers the idea that he's having a fart attack. And Stan was just going with the flow.   We also mentioned Martin Gardner and his book Fads and Fallacies in the Name of Science.

    The Black Eyed Children came into the modern day lexicon in 1998 after a reported encounter with them went (kind of) viral, and ever since reports of encounters with them have been on the rise. The black eyed kids and black eyed people are said to be paranormal entities who try to gain entry into your space, whether it be a vehicle or your home. It’s critical if you encounter one of these entities that you not let them in, as doing so reportedly ends with disastrous consequences. They typically appear in groups of two aged anywhere from 6-16, but there have also been reports of older kids appearing. They seem to be normal, but illicit and immediate guttaral fear response from whomever they approach. They are often dressed just slightly off, whether it be off from the weather or from the time and also speak in a strangely formal manner. What truly sets them apart from a normal, human child; however, is their eyes.

William Dorien Toney has been missing since November 19th, 2016. He was last seen in Sharon Hill, Pennsylvania near a Dunkin Donuts with two other males. He has not been seen or heard from since then. 

We take a long walk through a dozen or so arguments put forth by cryptid advocates, and see which ones (if any) make reasonable points. If you want a primer on how squatchers and lake-monster-hunters think, this is the episode. But beyond that, these ideas can be a jumping point into many other realms where skepticism should be applied, as we look at how eye-witness reliability, false dichotomies, cherry-picking, and other logic traps come into play. Special guests Sharon Hill and Erik Kristopher Myers.

Recorded 16 September 2018. Ms Ann and Richard desperately try to keep their interest plate spinning on its sceptical community stick by discussing the demise of Paracon 18 and its hastily organised replacement ParaCAN (which turned into a fun day at least for Richard). They then move on to discuss Sharon Hill and her drop the mic blog article “Please Don’t Call Me A Skeptic”, Elon Musk, Serge Benhayon, Oliver’s Real Food using less woo, the changing agenda at Skepticon, skeptic input into a porncast, and how neither of them have any current interest in the Skeptical Movement.

With this week's episode we bring you Sharon Hill's new book 'Scientifical Americans' and give you more information on Radio CICAP, the new podcast out there for Italian speaking listeners. You can also find that Skeptics in the Pub started 19 years ago and Poland now has a so-called 'Holocaust bill', surpressing open discussion about sensitive topics, Michael Marshall and Prof. Chris French writing about Facilitated communication on The Guardian, and you can also find out that there might be a cure for Acute Respiratory Tract Infections that medicine has struggled with lately, in the form of a herbal treatment. You'll hear about the measles situation in the UK, a group of MMS proponents deleted on Facebook and why banning burkas is a terrible idea.

Unveiled Voices - Episode 6 - Expand Your Power Circles Step into your Kingdom Calling and enlarge your vision This is the final step of this special 6 episode series entitled Unveiled Voices - Releasing the Power of Your Calling. I gave a review of the previous 5 steps in Episode 5 last week, so make sure you listen to that if you need a quick review of the process.    Get on our Facebook page and share with me where you're at in the process.    You've got the vision, you've stayed in your lane and now it's time to take it to the next level.  I call it expanding your power circles. If your vision only requires action on your part, Your vision isn't big enough.  That's just a plan. Your vision will begin to expand as you partner and learn from others.  And constantly seek wisdom and understanding as you ask God to direct your path. Power Circles come in all different types, and frankly I like to see you having multiple power circles to tap into.  Here are a few types that have worked best for me:  Resources Power circles. 2.   Spiritual/Prayer Support Power Circles. - Prayer Shields 3.   Accountability power Circles. 4.   A Mastermind group could be one of your power circles Think about defining your own Power Circles and then go out and get involved.   Note: For more information on Sharon Hill and a description of a prayer shield, visit On Call Prayer.   The Word Unveiled - When two of you get together on anything at all on earth and make a prayer of it, my Father in heaven goes into action. Matt 18:20 Action Challenge: Identify one person this week who you want to connect with and make that call, send that email, and see where it leads. You never know until you try.  Aim high and be strategic with your time, treasure, and talent.

Joe White is an author, speaker, international trainer, and life coach dedicated to helping individuals, business leaders and couples.  Joe White, who was born and raised in Sharon Hill, Delaware County, has more than 14 years of experience helping people turn their lives around. Following years of “real life” experience, Joe founded Get Life Coaching in 1999.  His perseverance to survive a near-death overdose , beat drug addiction, and a lifetime of personal struggles have given him the skills and energy to help thousands of people change their lives for the better. The story of how Joe White came into life coaching more resembles a VH1 Behind the Music episode than a traditional story.  After dropping out of college, Joe left the Philadelphia area to pursue his dreams of becoming a model.   He took a job as a VIP concierge in a New York City nightclub in the early 90's to supplement his modeling income, but encountered a serious alcohol and cocaine addiction.  Joe's battle with addiction eventually cost him his success and nearly killed him.  In an act of desperation to change his life, he purchased a set of Tony Robbins self-help cassette tapes and studied them relentlessly.  Within a few short years, Joe had not only turned his life around, but was being courted by The Tony Robbins Organization to join his coaching team.  Being the perennial entrepreneur, Joe decided to go out on his own and, thus, Get Life Coaching was born.
