27. Samantha Leifker—Born Awakened

Samantha’s story is a rich tapestry of experiences that shouldn’t be connected—but they are. Things like: UFOs, OBEs, NDEs, psychic knowing, dreams, poltergeists, mediumship, spirit visitations, angels, hell hounds, and mythic power animals (including owls). And Jesus, too. Samantha just self-published her first book, BORN AWAKENED, with the sub-title An Otherworldly True Story. This is a deeply personal memoir of travels beyond the veil. This conversation explores the emotional and spiritual power of contact. Samantha’s book, HERE BORN AWAKENED Contact her through Instagram, HERE Learn more about your ad choices.

26. Lucinda Morel—following the shamanic path

Before we met, Lucinda sat directly across from me and declared that owls are connected to UFOs and shamanism. Be assured, we talked after that. Lucinda is an intuitive medium and shamanic healer; she’s also a 3rd generation contact experiencer. She has spent transformational time with the Lakota people on the sacred lands around Pine Ridge, South Dakota.

Rabbit Trap is a movie about fairies. It’s also a story of the landscape, and the yearning for connection. Bryn Chainey is a young British director with a vision of how a film should feel, and the emotions it can generate. The film features Dev Patel and Rosie McEwen and a mysterious third character, played by Jade Croot. But the real stars are the sound and the land.

Ep 80My twenty-minute talk from The Archives of the Impossible

This is a short audio post, and it isn’t numbered because it’s not a formal interview. Earlier this year, I gave a short talk about my work and my own experiences.

Ep 7919. Indi’s journey and the vital role of deer

Animals, especially deer, play a powerful role within the contact experiences of Indi. This is a heartfelt and candid conversation with a woman who has endured a remarkable lifetime of mystical events. From emotional despair to a transformative Samadhi experience.

Ep 7818. Rachel Stewart—from heartbreak to healing

This was not an easy interview. Rachel’s story is heartbreaking, yet it's also a remarkable testament of hope and faith. Rachel and her husband Shane had a daughter, Kenadie. In 2018, they lost her to cancer. She was only ten years old, and grief shattered their lives. But amidst the darkness, signs began to appear—glimmers of hope, whispers of connection, and a path to something greater. Rachel now runs an instagram page titled for11_together, a site dedicated to sharing stories of connection. I didn't realize until the end of the interview, but this was Rachel's first time ever as a guest on a podcast.

Ep 7112. Sev Tok, a life of contact

I met Sev at a conference in 2020 and saw her powerful presentation. She spoke about her contact experiences and how she worked to integrate them into her life, allowing her to follow a truer, more authentic path. I was struck by her clarity and hopeful outlook. She is a powerful voice within this community. This was a fun conversation, and we both laughed a lot. But we also ventured into into the deepest waters of this emotional mystery. She has a wonderful book, titled—You Have the Right to Talk to Aliens. This is a short, straightforward book that can easily be read in a few sittings.

Red Pill Junkie is a pseudonym. Don’t tell anyone, but his real name is Miguel, and he lives in Mexico City. Like me, he's an illustrator and cartoonist. Miguel was involved with a remarkable project. He illustrated a set of Tarot cards, where the major arcana were represented by characters from UFO history. This project is at the heart of our conversation. We talk about creativity, and the role of the artist—and how synchronicity weaves its way through this elusive process. And — there’s a Patreon EXTRA, where we continue our conversation. The links: Miguel did a powerful video presentation about these cards for Ryan Sprague’s ANOMACON conference, linked HERE.

Karin Austin is presently the Executive Director of the John E. Mack Institute, but a quarter of a century ago she worked with Dr. John Mack to try to understand her contact experiences. In this episode, we dig deep into Dr. Mack's role in this mystery, and also the challenges of what it means to experience something so profoundly strange that it might be impossible to truly understand what that means. She is also working with Rice University as the project manager for the Archives of The Impossible, where she works with Professor Jeffrey Kripal, who should be no stranger to anyone who has made it to this page. Karin is a thoughtful and passionate voice for the experiencer community. She has worked to share her own deeply personal and complex memories in ways that can be understood, and that can—hopefully—change our world.

Ep 656. Ingrid Honkala PhD, the near-death experience and the beings of light

Ingrid Honkala has endured more than one NDE, and with it has come a seemingly magical ongoing interaction with her guides, who she calls the beings of light. Her journey is remarkable, but it hasn’t been easy. In this conversation, we talk about both the trauma and the ecstasy of her lifetime in the netherworld between a physical life, and an eternal energetic life. Ingrid grew up in war-torn Columbia and has a PhD in marine sciences. She now lives in Mississippi with her family and two dogs. I am recommending a two-part set of videos where Ingrid explains her first NDE as a child. This remarkable account is the foundation of all that followed in her life.

The contact experience can be elusive, but the flood of overwhelming phenomena can change a person. Powerful synchronicities, psychic knowing, healing abilities, and an overwhelming sense of mission—all of these can feel like a blessing or a curse. David Metcalfe talks about the challenges of trying to confront the mystery of the UFO, and how creativity and “the story” can end-run the simplistic ideas held within pop culture.

Time loops, precognitive dreams, and the magic of creative inspiration are all central to Eric’s research. That and UFOs, but not in any kind of “nuts and bolts” way. He puts forth an idea about the source of these seemingly magical events through an exploration of time and our multi-dimensional selves. Much of what we call the paranormal could be our future selves reaching back to us with a message. In this conversation we address the mysteries of creativity, synchronicities, and so much more.

Ep 54Sample chapter from The Messengers audiobook

This is an excerpt from my recently published audiobook of The Messenger. It was narrated by Michael Hacker. The foreword was written and read by Richard Dolan. And the introduction and conclusion were read by me. This is Chapter Nine, titled Back to Back Reports, and this might be my favorite chapters of this big book. I am happy to offer up this sample, so you can get an insight into the tenor of the book. I will be posting more samples as a way to promote this audiobook, and these will be easy to find here on my blog. The audiobook can be purchased on audible.com, the iTunes store and amazon. If you like the book, please leave a review on Amazon. In this new era of publishing, authors are dependent on these reviews. I need to thank Michael Hacker for his wonderful narration. I sought him out because he has read a long list of audiobooks by John Keel and Brad Steiger, two of my heroes in this fascinating corner of publishing. This book, The Messengers was a monumental project for me, and it consumed years of my life. It was a blurry time of obsession and dedication, and it was also a time of magic. The book was written in a synchronistic cloud, and that's not an exaggeration. It feels like something outside myself was at play in the writing process. I have two other companion books, and these make up a sort of trilogy. I am enormously proud of The Messenger series, and each is available in print, in Kindle, and as audiobooks.

She is also a hypnotherapist (including past life regressions), Reiki Master as well as researcher and author. Mary is also the founder of the Australian Close Encounter Resource Network, (ACERN). The primary role role of ACERN is to offer professional counselling, support, hypnotherapy and information to individuals and their families with anomalous paranormal experiences, particularly specializing in abduction-contact experiences. This is not a research organization, it is a resource for therapeutic counseling and support. The focus of this conversation was on the tensions within the UFO research community. Specificly when folks are confronted with reports and experiences well beyond the simplistic materialist framework that defines our existence. This subject forces any thoughtful observer to look deeply into the multi-dimensional aspects of not only UFOs, but reality itself. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Andy Colvin / interview 2013

This interview was recorded over a year ago. I am embarrassed to say that it just sat on my computer until today. Right after we recorded it, some life stuff came up, and I lost track of it. This conversation was to promote the book Flying Saucer to the Center of Your Mind, a collection of magazine articles and lectures by, John Keel, the man many consider to be not only the 20th Century’s premiere Fortean investigator.

Sherry Wilde / interview

Sherry Wilde was living an idyllic life as a wife, mother and business owner until 1987 when her community experienced a UFO flap. This prompted her to look into her own memories of a missing time event when she was a teenager. What emerged forced Sherry to accept her involvement in a terribly challenging phenomenon. She was now faced with the indisputable evidence that she had experienced ongoing contact with extra-terrestrial beings, an it had been happening throughout her entire life. This new reality almost pushed her over the edge. (link) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Kewaunne Lapseritis / interview

I read the The Psychic Sasquatch shortly after it first came out in 1998. I had come across whisperings of psychic experiences as well as UFO sightings, in connection to Sasquatch, but this was the book I had ever read on the subject. I was kind of mystified, and the one question that was in the forefront of my mind, was who was this author? Well, I met him in February of 2014, and after about ten seconds of talking with him it all became clear.Kewaunne Lapseritis is a tall strong man who stands straight up with a power that that impressed me. He spoke about his experiences with both ETs and Sasquatch with a forthrightness in a way that I found oddly soothing. I liked the guy enormously. (link) Learn more about your ad choices.
