33.13 - MU Podcast - Beast Harvest
Apr 11, 202501:12:05Tap to summarizeThe mystery of cattle mutilations continues to baffle even the most seasoned researchers, with no clear answers despite decades of investigation. While some high-profile cases grab the headlines, it’s often the lesser-known incidents that reveal the strangest and most telling patterns. In this episode, we head to a remote farm in North Dakota to examine a chilling series of events that may be one of the most compelling links between UFO activity and humanoid mutilators. Reports include strange aerial lights, triangle-shaped craft emitting bendable beams, scorched livestock, and a teenage eyewitness who claims to have confronted—and shot—an entity in a gleaming metallic suit. We also revisit the eerie recurrence of silver-suited beings in both modern UFO lore and folkloric accounts, and uncover one of the wildest mutilation stories we’ve ever heard.Then for our Plus+ members, we dive into the surreal world of fictional incursions. What happens when characters imagined by authors begin to appear in real life? Drawing on Joshua Cutchin’s latest work, we explore thoughtform manifestations, haunted writers, and creative entities that may have minds of their own.Links Tappen, North Dakota: Encounters with Non-Humans An Alien Harvest The Curse of the Silver Man Strange Tales of the “Little People” The alien cosmonaut from Japan The Humanoids A Weird Case of an Attempted Escape from an Alien Abduction Plus+ ExtensionThe extension of the show is EXCLUSIVE to Plus+ Members.

33.12 - MU Podcast - The Undergrounders
Apr 4, 202501:17:28Tap to summarizeThe theory of ultraterrestrials—non-human intelligences that reside in hidden subterranean realms and subtly influence human affairs—has long been overshadowed by the more popular extraterrestrial hypothesis. But what if the so-called space visitors contactees described in the 1950s and beyond were actually ancient breakaway civilizations from Earth itself? We dive into the rich history of crypto-terrestrial lore, from secret underground bases to deceptive spirit board messages, and explore how these beings might be hiding in plain sight.Then, for our Plus+ members, we unravel the terrifying tale of a family plagued by a malevolent poltergeist calling itself “Prince.” Was its arrival triggered by innocent curiosity, or was something far more sinister unleashed from within the home—and the human psyche?Links Beyond Disclosure: Underground Bases, Higher Dimensions, Alien Abduction and Cryptozoology The Cassiopaean Experiment Laura Knight-Jadczyk The Cassiopaean Website Legends of America Helvetius, Spinoza, and Transmutation Experiences Madame Blavatsky Kachina Lucis Ancient Breakaway Civilization - A Source Study The UFO contactee no one investigated "Frank Howard, Was He A Contactee"? 1996 Australian UFO Conference An Extraterrestrial Message to the Nation Encounters with the Unknown Subterranean Worlds Day of the Descendants Alien Base Fate Magazine Plus+ ExtensionThe extension of the show is EXCLUSIVE to Plus+ Members.

33.11 - MU Podcast - Alien Hauntings
Mar 28, 202501:14:44Tap to summarizeThis week, we uncover a series of chilling encounters that blur the boundaries between alien abduction and ghostly haunting. From the UK’s strangest archives, reports emerge of shadowy beings invading bedrooms, missing time linked to fog-shrouded roads, and apparitions mingling with classic extraterrestrial phenomena. Are these entities disguising their true nature? Or are hauntings and abductions just different masks of the same force? We also dive into cursed waters, haunted shipwrecks, and bizarre underwater apparitions before exploring prophetic trolls, disinformation hoaxes, and ancient apocalyptic predictions in our Plus+ extension.Links The British UFO Research Association BUFORA Bulletin Paranormal Case Files of Great Britain (Volume Four) The spooky Somerset road that is 'a hotbed for supernatural sightings' The Life and Loss of the Alkimos, Diving Western Australia's Haunted Ghost Ship The Alkmios curse Haunted Ghost Diver Plus+ ExtensionThe extension of the show is EXCLUSIVE to Plus+ Members.

33.08 - MU Podcast - The Great Ascension Hoax
Feb 28, 202501:21:08Tap to summarizeIf you study unexplained phenomena long enough, patterns start to emerge—bizarre connections between alien abductions, psychic encounters, and otherworldly influences. In this episode, we examine a chilling case of a woman abducted by hooded beings, subjected to strange rituals, and left with physical scars and fragmented memories. Were these visitors extraterrestrial, interdimensional, or something else entirely? We explore the eerie similarities between abduction reports, psychic manipulation, and the unsettling question of why these encounters follow such a disturbingly familiar script.Then, for our Plus+ members, we dive into the world of enigmatic entities reported across time and space, from shimmering beings to shadowy manipulators.

33.07 - MU Podcast - The Memetic Virus
Feb 21, 202501:23:15Tap to summarizeAmerican culture is everywhere, shaping everything from entertainment to fast food—but could its most profound influence be something far more unsettling? Across the globe, from Hong Kong to Japan, Western mental health concepts are spreading, often replacing traditional ways of understanding distress. Depression, PTSD, and eating disorders are appearing in regions where they were once rare, raising the question: is this organic, or is something more deliberate at play?In this episode, we dive into the unsettling case from Japan, where pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline saw an untapped market for antidepressants and set out to change the nation’s perception of sadness itself. Through marketing, media manipulation, and cultural rebranding, they turned “feeling down” into a medical condition overnight—selling billions in pills along the way. Could this be an example of a memetic virus, an idea so powerful that it rewires an entire society’s approach to mental illness?Then, for our Plus+ members, we uncover reports of bizarre shape-shifting UFOs, eerie green mist that seems to transport people between dimensions, and chilling encounters with dark entities that should have never been summoned.Links Crazy Like Us: The Globalization of the American Psyche Mental illnesses can be acquired via memetic viruses Chris Lakin Blog Anorexia In Hong Kong Dentsu chief to resign over employee’s suicide from overwork Plus+ ExtensionThe extension of the show is EXCLUSIVE to Plus+ Members.

33.03 - MU Podcast - Cataclysms Uncensored
Jan 24, 202501:17:16Tap to summarizeSuppressed by the CIA, the notable works of Chan Thomas are often dismissed as "conspiracy theories" and "pseudoscience," but they are finally starting to gain the attention of modern researchers. Could the Earth have some kind of reset cycle that, through planetary forces, regularly creates cataclysms that keep humanity in check? Could this reset cycle be occurring now, and are elite groups trying to keep this knowledge secret?Also, for our Plus+ members, we consider the trope of building a home on a graveyard and explore how the story behind the 1980s film Poltergeist may have a very real background.Links New Dawn 208 The Adam And Eve Story The History Of Cataclysms Uncensored The Adam And Eve Story: The History Of Cataclysms Book The Forbidden Book Club The World's Most Dangerous Books Chan Thomas Redacted Boneyard Alaska The Age of Disclosure UFO whistleblower Jake Barber would '100% testify' under oath to Congress An Interpretation of Göbekli Tepe Pillar 43 Exothermic Core-Mantle Decoupling – Dzhanibekov Oscillation (ECDO) Hypothesis Dzhanibekov effect Plus+ ExtensionThe extension of the show is EXCLUSIVE to Plus+ Members.

Jan 17, 202501:13:34Tap to summarizePurchasing a new home is supposed to be one of the best investments you can make, and moving in should bring joy and excitement. That is, of course, unless the house is haunted—not just mildly haunted, but a gateway to all kinds of supernatural phenomena. In this episode, we cover the extraordinary experiences of William, who, once a skeptic of the supernatural, began experiencing eerie events in his home after moving in two decades ago, including ghost sightings and poltergeist activity.
