Dismissed as a hoax by the Bridgeport Police Department after several days, the case seemingly solved and the crowds left.

In his lastest book, Pascagoula Uncovered, Philip Mantle brings together a ream of newly published material in regards to one of the most striking alleged abduction cases of the late 20th century. The whole book is almost like a look back through time to see what happened that night in Pascagoula and how the events unfolded thereafter. And in a stunning revelation Calvin Parker recounts a previously unknown encounter from 1992 which is published here for the first time. Along with Darcy Weir's new documentary series, Pascagoula 73, available on Prime we can see just how many reports and witnesses there really are to this event! Philip has also kindly allowed me to share Calvin's regressive hypnosis session recorded with the legendary Bud Hopkins from 1993, which is unnerving to say the least.

We've all heard or seen stories over the years that people will swear happened to them or a friend of a friend which on face value seem strange and often weird but if we dig a little deeper, the facts become blurry. It seems it doesn't matter where you live in the world, you will have all heard an urban legend dressed up as a real incident, be it a spider living in your hair, to swallowing seeds means plants grow in your stomach to even murderers hiding in the wardrobe. Joining me to look in to the history of these tales and some of our particular favourites is author, researcher and folklore expert Gail De Vos.

It's a warm welcome back to cryptozoologist Katy Elizabeth as we discuss her latest year of research up on lake Champlain and the echolocation recording caught last year.

We expend vast resources for this. Strangely, this does not seem strange. We look to several sources for understanding our past, which gives us clues about solving today’s problems, and the supernatural because it also is associated with our creation. Today supernatural communication, such as UAP, has increased so dramatically that even the US government has noticed and others discuss religious figures as ancient astronauts. To discuss these ideas in her new book, along with some updates in regards to the Pascagoula case of 1973 and the ongoing drone mystery, Dr Irena Scott returns to join me!

The true story of the “Foo Fighters” goes back much earlier than 1944, involving RAF aircrew operating over Germany and Italy. The nicknames for what they encountered were different, but the phenomenon they witnessed was almost certainly the same. Mysterious lights, rockets and jets were reported on a regular basis, and many of these events are listed in the official records. These cases, plus others which may not have been reported to the military authorities at the time, are examined in this book. Discussing this phenomena is author and reseacher Graeme Rendall who has investigated this mysterious period in strange history in his book which can be found here: A big thank you to Graeme for joining me this week.

When we hear the world "cult" our minds often create an image of gullible people who lack the intelligence to understand they're being manipulated by someone who is not what they seem. Yet, the evidence suggests that this isn't the case, organistations change, purposes are hidden and often the truth is altered in such a way that often it is only when they reach their conclusions that the followers realise just what is going on. Joining me to look at psychology and history of cults and their leaders is JW Ocker and we look at Jim Jones, Marshall Applewhite, NXVIM and more in our conversation.

In this book, Ronald Kinsella questions the validity of a number of alien, UFO and cryptid reports which range from the unusual, to the very bizarre, throughout the world. This interrogation is not based on their authenticity, rather, questioning a much darker aspect to their origins and of a seemingly fragmented phenomenon. We discuss the possibilities of one force perhaps being behind all manner of unusual encounters with some intriguing ideas. The book can be found here: Thank you to Ronald for joining me.

We enter the world of divination and tarot this week with author and reader Alaric Albertsson who guides us into the world of reading through a standard set of playing cards. For many, a normal pack of cards was more than sufficient to enable seers and those attuned to receiving messages to find guidance in the past until Tarot took hold in the late 19th centrury. With a history shrouded in mystery we look through the magic and mystery to uncover the power of cards. His books can be found here: Thank you to Alaric for joining me.
