Often men report that their experiences with succubi are positive and enjoyable, but just as often, they report that the pleasure had a thread of something evil running through it… and that thread leads to utter destruction. (The Deadly Allure of the Succubus) *** And the woman you are living with right now – your own wife or girlfriend – is it possible she is a succubus? We'll look a bit deeper into the signs of a succubus so you can be aware and on alert! (Is My Girlfriend a Sex Demon?) *** In recent years, stories of personal encounters with shadow people have flooded the Internet. So much so, that a subcategory of Reddit was created solely for those who have experienced a shadow person and wish to share their story. We'll share some of those reports. (Real Life Encounters With Shadow People) *** Many towns have tales of an old woman who might be a witch of some kind. Warrington, England had its own local, evil crone. She was known as Old Peggy Gronach and was described as being “evil, ugly and haggard.” But was she truly a witch? Many people thought so!

In the long-awaited part two of the Through the Looking Glass series, host Kelly Chase is back to tell the bizarre story of the events following her anomalous experience from part one, and how a string of unlikely events brought her to the story of an experiencer with strange psi abilities named Tom Matte. Tom developed what he describes as an interactive holographic overlay on his reality which he calls Upsight in the aftermath of dramatic mental breakdown that left his life in shambles. More than a decade later, he is still seeking answers about Upsight which he says allows him to access non-local information in fascinating ways and even communicate with NHIs. After a string of unbelievable synchronicities, Kelly found that her story had become inextricably tied to Tom's, leading her on a journey of inquiry about the nature of anomalous experiences, mental illness, addiction, and more. In this episode she dives deep into this strange tale and the insights and revelations that it spurred. *****************************Cosmosis: UFOs & A New Reality Drops on Apple TV on December 30, 2024.Watch the Cosmosis Trailer*****************************The Institute of Noetic SciencesLearn MoreDonateFollow Tom MatteJesus Goes To Hollywood: A Memoir of MadnessX/TwitterWebsiteMediumMentioned in this EpisodeOlof RocknerIllustrations of Upsight by Olof RocknerJaws PosterGreys Remote Viewing a TownOther ExampleOther ExampleOther ExampleOther ExampleOther ExampleTom's Paper About Dark Matter & Dark EnergySpiritual Emergency: When Personal Transformation Becomes a Crisis 

It's the one you've all been waiting for - our episode on Alfonso Pineda Ulloa's 2014 film THERE ARE NO SAINTS, adapted from an unmade Schrader script, which sat on a shelf for 8 years before getting dumped on VOD after his FIRST REFORMED/CARD COUNTER comeback. What's that? You don't know what this movie is and you don't really want to hear us talk about it? Great news - this episode was recorded live (to tape) at Ian's home in Oaxaca, is mostly about Jake's visit there, and contains shocking revelations that turn much of PCFM's Ian Lore upside down. Plus some talk about neo-exploitation cinema, John Wick riffs, narcocultura, and eating bugs. Fun ep, check it out!

Hello, my spectral spectators! Clinton Baptiste here, bringing you another episode packed with chills, thrills, and plenty of spiritual shenanigans.From Whitley Bay This week, we're coming to you live from Whitley Bay! And let me tell you, there's definitely a spirit in the machine...the card machines have gone down at the venue! Technology, eh? Always something spooky going on behind the scenes.Stage Madness I eventually make it out on stage, only to be greeted by a woman shouting, "Get 'em off!" What is this, the Chippendales? I'm a serious spiritual healer, love, not some cabaret act!Flying High and Clapping on Landing We kick things off with a chat about flying—there's something so spiritual about soaring through the skies. Linda talks about people clapping when the plane lands, and I share my own flying nightmare: an EasyJet flight that needed a jump start. Hearing the pilot announce that... I nearly lost my spiritual composure!Ghostly Tales and Strange Happenings Next, we dive into some eerie tales:Greg Perkin makes an appearance as "Thomas of Todmorden," sharing a peculiar story about his wife eating Pickled Onion Monster Munch before bed. We play a little clip of that.Jonathan Anstee sends in an email about a ghost in his kitchen one night. We play out his MP3 and discuss the paranormal activity.Then, I read out an article by JacquieAnn Taylor from Fate and Fortune. Turns out I went to school with her! She runs the “Memories of Our School” page on Facebook. We try to reach out, but after being turned down, it felt like a lesson in humility—don't assume everyone's eager to reconnect. And Linda, take those spiritual stories seriously!Spiritual Problems and Witches We delve into problems from Take A Break Fate and Fortune, including one about a witch who found a home. We also discuss a dead dad walking someone down the aisle, which leads to a deeper conversation about the nature of heaven and spirituality.Archie Levy's Strange Tale I then tee up an interview with Archie Levy from Sundown Studios.

But why? With all of the animals out there to choose from, the harvesting of fruits and vegetables they could've placed on an altar… why human sacrifice? (Why Human Sacrifice?) *** You're in a battle, you've had several horses shot out from under you, and suddenly someone points out that you've lost your leg. How do you respond to that? Whatever your answer, you probably wouldn't be as suave about it as Lord Uxbridge was. (The Strange Tale of Lord Uxbridge's Leg) *** Cornering the market in heroin and cocaine trafficking, Vito Rizzuto's mafia family dominated Montreal until his death in December 2013. (Canada's Mafia Godfather) *** A senior couple seemed to be enjoying their retirement. They were heading home from their apartment in Florida to their home in New York as they did every Spring. But somewhere between they vanished into the ether. What happened to Charles and Catherine Romer? (The Vanishing of Charles and Catherine Romer) *** And later, we'll look at a few lawsuits that should never made it to a courtroom… but we're glad they did, because they make for a great kicker story for the podcast! (Lawsuits That Never Should Have Made it To a Courtroom) *** But first… a retired Russian soldier receives a magic bag from God, which ends up wreaking havoc in both heaven and hell! It's the legend of Ivan Turbinca.

Once an unknown range in the middle of Utah, the place known as Skinwalker Ranch has been catapulted into fame over the past two decades. The subject of a decade-long research project partly funded by the US government, the ranch is now home to a scientific investigation that has become one of the most popular documentary series on television ("The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch"). Why spend so much attention on such a relatively innocuous place? In short, the ranch is sometimes credited with being the most active paranormal spot in the country (and perhaps in the world). The hundreds of testimonies, some from scientists, government officials, and military officers, attest that there's something deeply unusual about this place. It's time we take our chance to figure it out.

Not too much is known about Margaret Schilling. She was the kind of person whose memory might have been lost to time had she not left behind an indelible reminder of her. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Yorkshire Ripper Sutcliffe's plea of diminished responsibility, which could have resulted in a lighter sentence, wasn't successful. On May 22, 1981, he was found guilty of 13 murders and seven counts of attempted murder. The judge sentenced him to 20 life terms and recommended a minimum sentence of 30 years. The death penalty wasn't an option, having been abolished in 1965. After he was captured and behind bars, Sutcliffe began using his mother's maiden name and going by Peter William Coonan. In 1984, a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia saw Sutcliffe removed from prison and sent to Broadmoor Hospital, a secure psychiatric facility. While in custody Sutcliffe applied for the right to parole, but a 2010 ruling said that he would never be released from prison. He was declared mentally able to leave the secure hospital and sent to a maximum-security prison in 2016. Sutcliffe experienced numerous assaults while in custody. In 1997, an inmate stabbed Sutcliffe's eyes with a pen, and he subsequently lost vision in his left eye. Wife Sutcliffe met Sonia Szurma, whose parents were refugees from Poland and Ukraine, in 1966. The two married on August 10, 1974. They had no children. Sonia offered her support during Sutcliffe's 1981 trial and initially visited him while he was in custody. They divorced in 1994. Her visits reportedly stopped after she got married again in 1997. Despite their divorce, Sutcliffe named Sonia as his next of kin. Sonia no longer lives in the house she and Sutcliffe moved into in 1977. Although she reportedly received permission to sell the home in December 2021, there is no public record of her actually doing so. Death Sutcliffe died at age 74 on November 13, 2020, at the University Hospital of North Durham in England. The hospital was near the prison where he'd been serving his sentence. At the end of October, Sutcliffe had been treated for a suspected heart attack at the hospital. Following his hospital stay, he reportedly tested positive for COVID-19 but refused treatment. His ex-wife Sonia is believed to have planned his funeral. The Long Shadow and Other Media In December 2020, Netflix debuted a four-part docuseries simply titled The Ripper about Sutcliffe's crime spree. It featured interviews with witnesses and investigators. Sutcliffe's crimes and capture are the subject of the seven-part ITV miniseries The Long Shadow, which debuted in September 2023. Writer George Kay based the dramatized series on the 2003 book Wicked Beyond Belief: The Hunt for the Yorkshire Ripper by Michael Bilton, as well as real case files, interview transcripts, and police reports. Originally called The Yorkshire Ripper, the series underwent a name change because Kay felt the moniker was “disrespectful” to Sutcliffe's victims and survivors who he felt were at the heart of the series. “The victims' families certainly don't want that name being applied to Peter Sutcliffe because it creates a dark brand around a man who doesn't deserve that sort of attention,” he said.

IN THIS EPISODE: Complete isolation sounds horrifying, but for people who work alone, it just becomes part of the process. *** Fog and mist are a staple of creating a perfect horror atmosphere. In some cases, such as movies like “The Fog” or “The Mist”, it is the creeping haze that is the danger itself. But then there is the true story from the Florida woods of a supernatural fog bank that appeared to eat people alive. *** How did The Devil's footprint get in a rock in North Carolina? *** One of our Weirdo family members didn't used to believe in the supernatural – but that changed when he insisted that the ghost prove it exists. *** Mysterious fires and moving objects have terrified the residents of a house in central Morocco.SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“Creepy Working Alone Stories” by Stefanie Hammond fore Ranker: https://tinyurl.com/tuxe6zd“The Strange Tale of the Carnivorous Pink Mist” by Brent Swancer for Mysterious Universe: https://tinyurl.com/vyveg7a“Devil's Rock” posted at North Carolina Ghosts: https://tinyurl.com/trcpobe“Demanding Proof” by Weirdo family member Christopher Gray, submitted directly to WeirdDarkness“Poltergeist in Morocco” originally posted in Hespress of Morocco, translated by The Fortean:https://tinyurl.com/y8s7glteWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library. = = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

When a woman saw a butcher at a grocery store in Bogota that looked eerily like a co-worker, it would set in motion a chain reaction that would end in a shocking revelation. And a certain hospital would have some explaining to do.

EPISODE #997 A STRANGE TALE FROM APPALACHIA COMES WITH A WARNING ABOUT A.I. Richard welcomes writer Forrest Maready who shares a strange story and never-before-seen photographs of a forsaken place and its forgotten people of Appalachia. In 1872, a hardy group of Nordic Americans, disenfranchised with the direction of the American nation, began to carve out a slice of the beautiful land they had come to love. GUEST: Forrest Maready graduated from Wake Forest University with a degree in Religion and Music, and plied his trade in the film industry for several years, working on several Muppet movies, four seasons of Dawson's Creek, and many other films and television shows as an audio engineer, editor, composer, and animator. He transitioned into technology as a designer and developer for visual effects software and CTO at NextGlass (now called Untappd). Creator of the popular "My Incredible Opinion" and "VaxBaby" video series, he has spent the last few years researching and writing about some of the most enigmatic riddles of science and medicine, notably autism and polio. Forrest has spoken at events and conferences around the country, but prefers to stay close to his writing home in the cab of a 1992 F-150, where many of his manuscripts were composed.

Blurry Photober is late this year, but David is back with an episode all about Highgate Cemetery! An incredible feat of gothic greatness, Highgate Cemetery has an interesting history and hauntings to boot. David had the fortune to take a tour of the Grade I historic location, and also interviewed the tour guide, John Waite. John and David go over the history of the cemetery, including its inception, how it fell to disrepair, and how it was revived. David then gets into the history of the hauntings which are said to happen. Mysterious top-hatted figures, forlorn spectres, and rumors of vampires have plagued the boneyard for decades. David discusses these stories as well as the infamous occultist feud between David Farrant and Sean Manchester. Take a history-heavy tour of a hauntingly beautiful location in this episode of Blurry Photos!Follow me on Twitch!MusicDanse Macabre, Lightless Dawn, Ossuary 5 - Rest, Phantasm, Zombie Hoodoo – Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0SourcesJarvis, Jacob.

Having risen to the status of international newspaper sensation, The Dalby Spook, or Gef the talking mongoose to those that knew him, was now poised to meet some of the world's most infamous psychical researchers. Unfortunately, Gef was as shy amongst company as he was talkative to the Irvings. Yet still the story of Gef persisted until eventually, his name ended up associated with a debate that took place in the highest office of the land. SOURCES Josiffe, Christopher (2017) Gef!

But why? With all of the animals out there to choose from, the harvesting of fruits and vegetables they could've placed on an altar… why human sacrifice? (Why Human Sacrifice?) *** You're in a battle, you've had several horses shot out from under you, and suddenly someone points out that you've lost your leg. How do you respond to that? Whatever your answer, you probably wouldn't be as suave about it as Lord Uxbridge was. (The Strange Tale of Lord Uxbridge's Leg) *** Cornering the market in heroin and cocaine trafficking, Vito Rizzuto's mafia family dominated Montreal until his death in December 2013. (Canada's Mafia Godfather) *** A senior couple seemed to be enjoying their retirement. They were heading home from their apartment in Florida to their home in New York as they did every Spring. But somewhere between they vanished into the ether. What happened to Charles and Catherine Romer? (The Vanishing of Charles and Catherine Romer) *** And later, we'll look at a few lawsuits that should never made it to a courtroom… but we're glad they did, because they make for a great kicker story for the podcast! (Lawsuits That Never Should Have Made it To a Courtroom) *** But first… a retired Russian soldier receives a magic bag from God, which ends up wreaking havoc in both heaven and hell!

So much so, that a subcategory of Reddit was created solely for those who have experienced a shadow person and wish to share their story. We'll share some of those reports. (Real Life Encounters With Shadow People) *** Many towns have tales of an old woman who might be a witch of some kind. Warrington, England had its own local, evil crone. She was known as Old Peggy Gronach and was described as being “evil, ugly and haggard.” But was she truly a witch? Many people thought so! (The Strange Tale of an English Witch) *** Succubi are female-appearing sexual demons that approach men in a variety of ways, usually while they are sleeping, then seduce them. Often men report that their experiences with succubi are positive and enjoyable, but just as often, they report that the pleasure had a thread of something evil running through it… and that thread leads to utter destruction. (The Deadly Allure of the Succubus) *** And the woman you are living with right now – your own wife or girlfriend – is it possible she is a succubus? We'll look a bit deeper into the signs of a succubus so you can be aware and on alert!

May 30th: Terrie Trosper Killed (1991) Satanic Panic, as we know, did a real number of the lives of many. On May 30th 1991 a young woman lost her life in a case that, to this day, no one knows if it was an accident or a murder. A case that was shaped, molded, and marred by the belief that a Satanic cult was alive and well in her small town of Childress, Texas.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deaths_of_Tate_Rowland_and_Terrie_Trosper, https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/possessed-by-the-devil/, https://vtree.solar/poland-salary-acs/terrie-john-trosper-567121, https://www.reddit.com/r/UnresolvedMysteries/comments/bk9cas/satanic_panic_in_childress_tx_two_mysterious/

April Fools, suckers! Also, happy first night of Wrestlemania! The subject of this episode was voted on by our dear patrons. For this installment of The Swerve, I'm joined by Scott Philbrook & Forrest Burgess from Astonishing Legends to dive into the sinister dealings of that "extra special mongoose," Gef, the Talking Mongoose. Known on the Isle of Man as the "Dalby Spook," Gef first appeared as wrappings and knockings on the walls of the Irving family home at Doarlish Cashen in September of 1931. Before long, the knocks transformed into full sentences from a high pitched voice. Gef became the talk of the island, bringing investigators of all kinds to the island including Harry Price and Nandor Fodor, but what was Gef really? On this episode we dive into Gef's exploits and try to figure out if he truly was an "extra clever mongoose" or something else...

Her new book is What Looks Like Bravery: An Epic Journey Through Loss to Love. “My life was becoming unmanageable, in a way. I was using success in many ways like a drug, and I'd say like an analgesic on the sorts of difficult feelings I hadn't wanted to face truly since childhood. And we are rewarded in this culture for these kinds of outward forms of success that often have nothing to do with what's going on inside of you.” Show notes: @LaurelBraitman laurelbraitman.com 01:00 Pop-Up Magazine 01:00 Animal Madness (Simon & Schuester • 2015) 05:00 “The Strange Tale of Echo, the Parrot Who Saw Too Much” (Atlas Obscura • March 2016) 07:00 Braitman'sTED archive 11:00 “Birds & Bees” (Ira Glass • This American Life • May 2015) 32:00 “Duck Syndrome” (Arifeen Rahman • KQED • July 2019) 40:00 Dear Sugar archive Learn more about your ad choices.

But then there is the true story from the Florida woods of a supernatural fog bank that appeared to eat people alive. *** How did The Devil's footprint get in a rock in North Carolina? *** One of our Weirdo family members didn't used to believe in the supernatural – but that changed when he insisted that the ghost prove it exists. *** Mysterious fires and moving objects have terrified the residents of a house in central Morocco. *** Complete isolation sounds horrifying, but for people who work alone, it just becomes part of the process.SOURCES AND ESSENTIAL WEB LINKS…“Creepy Working Alone Stories” by Stefanie Hammond fore Ranker: https://tinyurl.com/tuxe6zd “The Strange Tale of the Carnivorous Pink Mist” by Brent Swancer for Mysterious Universe: https://tinyurl.com/vyveg7a “Devil's Rock” posted at North Carolina Ghosts: https://tinyurl.com/trcpobe “Demanding Proof” by Weirdo family member Christopher Gray, submitted directly to WeirdDarkness.com “Poltergeist in Morocco” originally posted in Hespress of Morocco, translated by The Fortean: https://tinyurl.com/y8s7glte= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =Weird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library.

There's a story in the NY Post about a guy with a vagina tattooed on his face. Gio said that would be a great punishment for a fantasy football league.

For some reason, Damon Amendolara gets makeup done by our makeup artist, Aly. We wonder why since he's not on TV and doesn't work for CBS. Aly calls in to talk about this.
