Main Theme & Purpose

The hosts, Corinne and Sabrina, transport listeners to Ibiza—not for the legendary clubs, but for the island’s rich tapestry of myths, legends, and unexplained phenomena. This episode explores Es Vedrà, a mysterious rocky islet off Ibiza’s coast, rumored to be a magnetic anomaly, alien hotspot, and home to mermaids and mythic creatures. They weave scientific facts, local legends, listener shoutouts, and a dramatic listener story of possible alien abduction into a vibrant tapestry reflecting their love for all things spooky and uncanny.

Key Discussion Points

1. Personal Updates & Listener Shoutouts

[01:22–06:18]

• Corinne recounts meeting a listener, Gina, at CVS in the most relatable and hilarious accidental “fame” moment; Sabrina shares her own experience being recognized at a bar in LA, reflecting on the show’s reach.
  • “I felt so cool. She was like, I love your podcast!” – Sabrina [04:05]
• Discussion of coffee orders, protein milks, and how their Instagram community helps with quick recommendations, demonstrating their close listener rapport.

2. Setting the Scene: The Ocean’s Mysteries

[06:18–14:02]

• Sabrina recalls family vacations aligning with Shark Week and discusses personal fears of what lurks in the water, laying atmospheric groundwork.
• Shocking ocean facts:
  • Over 80% of the ocean is unexplored.
  • Estimated 3 million shipwrecks; potentially millions of preserved human remains.
  • “The ocean is the largest cemetery there is.” – Sabrina [07:23]
  • The Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench is nearly seven miles deep.

  • “There are underwater anomalies and supposed UFOs beneath the ocean surface.” – Sabrina [11:29]

3. Ibiza & Es Vedrà: Geography, Legends, Lore

[14:02–21:48]

• Ibiza described as a world-famous party destination, but also home to “extracurriculars and extraterrestrials”—notably, Es Vedrà.
• Es Vedrà’s geology and history:
  • Uninhabited, made of Mesozoic limestone, maybe the emergent peak of the lost city of Atlantis.
  • “Some people say that Es Vedrà is actually the upper portion of the lost city of Atlantis.” – Sabrina [16:28]
• Only one human (friar Francis Palau) ever lived on Es Vedrà in exile, writing about spiritual (possibly supernatural) experiences.
• The island is now protected land, with unique flora/fauna—sad note on the government’s culling of invasive goats.

4. The Mystique of Es Vedrà: Magnetic Anomalies, Shipwrecks, and Disappearances

[21:48–26:54]

• Local legend calls Es Vedrà the third most magnetic place on Earth (after the North Pole & Bermuda Triangle)—though scientific evidence is inconclusive.
  • “Sailors and local fishermen refuse to boat here because…their navigation systems get messed up, their compasses spiral like crazy.” – Sabrina [22:46]
• Multiple shipwreck tales (though details are often exaggeration or legend). Reference to the Don Pedro shipwreck and unfortunate proximity-based plane crashes.
• The 1972 Iberia Flight 602 tragedy—potentially attributed by locals to the island’s mystical “interference.”

5. Aliens & UFOs: The Manises UFO Incident

[26:54–35:40]

• In 1979, a highly credible UFO incident occurred over Ibiza, Spain’s most famous:
  • Onboard crew of flight JK297 saw “red lights” following their plane, with evasive maneuvers mirrored by the lights.
  • Military investigation: objects appeared/disappeared instantaneously on radar; the pilot’s avionics jammed; the objects moved at impossible speeds.
  • “No craft…can go from one spot like…on a radar, then poof, disappear and reappear miles away within seconds.” – Sabrina [34:07]
• Discussion of recurring red lights and a viral 2024 TikTok UFO video over Es Vedrà (later used as club promotion, but the hosts are skeptical about the debunking).

6. Magical Status, Ancient Beliefs & Tangible Mysticism

[37:09–41:11]

• Phoenician (ancient) belief in Ibiza as a magical, god-blessed island that protected its inhabitants.
• Locals carry island soil in pendants for protection.
• Father Francis’s writings of “unearthly beings surrounded by white light”—possibly biblical figures, sirens, or something else.
  • “Are these ramblings of a man who spent so much time alone, or is he really having spiritual encounters?” – Sabrina [39:03]

7. Sirens, Mermaids, and Other-Worldly Creatures

[39:03–44:52]

• Legends connect Es Vedrà to the sirens of Homer’s Odyssey, believed to haunt its waters.
• Multiple local tales:
  • The tragic romance of a fisherman and mermaid, doomed by biology.
  • Most stories are darker: sailors lured by siren songs mimicking loved ones, never returning.
  • A sea witch who helps or harms based on intent, a protective (invisible) dragon, and massive sea shadows described beneath boats.
  • “There have been sightings of shimmering, serpentine shadows beneath the surface.” – Sabrina [43:49]
• Playful speculation on whether the megalodon still exists in these depths.

8. Mythical Giants, Sea Fennel, and Cautionary Tales

[44:52–48:48]

• Fabled giant who kidnaps brothers seeking a healing herb—classic myth promoting respect for nature (and warning against greed).
  • “I think it is a story to kind of warn people from taking from the land.” – Sabrina [47:12]
• Reflections on the parallels with Odyssey and the enduring appeal of these sea myths.

9. Modern Access, Restrictions, and Enduring Magic

[48:48–52:01]

• Es Vedrà is strictly protected. Fishermen avoid the area; tourists can view it by boat or from Ibiza cliffs.
• Certain spots now closed due to over-visitation; emphasis on respect for the land.
• A folk belief: meditating or sleeping facing Es Vedrà encourages lucid dreams, astral projection, or even mermaid encounters.

10. Listener Story: Alien Encounters, Dreamscapes, and a Feline Destiny

[54:09–68:17]

[54:09] Listener Giselle’s Story

• As a child in Mexico, Giselle saw “Mascaro”—a masked, not-quite-human nighttime visitor.
• In college, amid the forest, vivid dreams began:
  • An amethyst-planet dream, a friendly green alien offering her a burger, and eventually two “cat planets” – one utopian, one wild.
  • A Mars-like world where an amphibian-like entity revealed herself to Giselle.
• One night, while awake, three black spheres approached, pinning her to her bed while making mechanical and “scanning” noises—an experience she links to alien abduction.
• Upon praying, the force relented. Afterward, all her vivid, otherworldly and “actual projections” dreams vanished.
• Later, an out-of-body experience led her to a comforting encounter with her deceased grandfather.
• Giselle specializes in feline medicine, adopted a black and orange cat “like the ones on the cat planets,” and wonders if the “cat dreams” were part of her destiny.
  • “One of our teachers used to say that cats come from other planets.” – Giselle [66:14]
• Reflects on whether the abduction “blocked” her from that astral access and expresses love for her grandfather.
