Who hunted them? A mysterious “Valley of Headless Men” serial killer in the Nahanni National Park area caused such intense fear during the first half of the 1900s that stories flew. Some whispered of fearsome creatures, mysterious fogs, and cannibalistic tribes. Others claimed “gold fever” after numerous bodies were found decapitated with unexplainable circumstances around their deaths. It’s clear that SOMETHING hunted down and killed the explorers and miners in northern Canada, but who was the culprit? Rob Counts conducted deep investigative research to sift through the repeated stories everyone tells about the Nahanni Valley and went to the source: He found the original newspaper articles that detailed the real circumstances. Simultaneously, John Vivanco and his team of remote viewers gathered nonlocal information on what caused all the strange disappearances in the Valley of Headless Men. Between the two of them, they uncovered things no other show has been able to about what really happened in the Nahanni Valley. Want to hear the truth? Watch this episode of Metaphysical for a show that’s out of this world. In this episode: Since 1908, more than 20 men have reportedly died searching for a gold mine in Canada’s Nahanni Valley. Most of them perished by decapitation or disappearing completely. The mine they were looking for was the infamous “Lost McLeod Mine,” made famous by the brothers who discovered it, Willie and Frank McLeod, who were later also found headless. Who were these decapitated men? What caused their deaths? Most importantly, what made the Nahanni Valley so treacherous—a land that terrorized the natives, causing them to live in perpetual fear? As of 1937, according to one old newspaper, “Thirteen men have already disappeared up the foaming Nahanni river that plunges from the unexplored hinterland between the Mackenzie valley and Alaska. All but the last two of those thirteen were later found murdered. The last two have never been found.” Could there have been even more true crime mysteries going on? Who was the “Mad Trapper of Rat River,” and how was his story related to the bigger picture? After you hear the details, you’ll be amazed that ANYONE could have survived such harsh conditions. 🛒 Shop Metaphysical Merch 💻 Watch Metaphysical and more on Rise TV 🎧 Listen on Spotify 🎧 Listen on Apple Podcasts 📱 Follow on Social Media: TikTok Instagram X Threads Reddit Telegram

Strange and paranormal phenomena have been spotted around storms, but tornadoes seem to have the most bizarre activity. UFOs, Twister-like vortexes, and intense energy are consistently reported, as well as sightings of real beings moving inside the tornadoes themselves. The original 1996 Twister movie showed the power of storms and made viewers fascinated by storm chasing, but in real life, their power is intense. Could it be that UFOs attempt to transform tornadoes’ energy or somehow harness it? Given the magnitude and ferocity of some of the scariest tornadoes, unexplained sightings of odd craft around them might just be happening for a reason. Why are UFOs seen around storms and tornadoes in the first place? Can vortexes and manmade tornadoes really be created intentionally? How do power plants, power lines, and wind turbines work to generate energy? What is a tornado anyway? Rob Counts brings his investigative research to this episode of Metaphysical, explaining how “supercells” form and answering some of these questions. Hear about the surprising instances of UFOs appearing before tornadoes in 1999, 2013, 2022, and more. Is it a coincidence that alien or unidentified craft are seen so often around storms? John Vivanco brings to the show his fascinating remote viewing data about what kind of energy is involved in strange storms, what the UFOs are really after, and more. Did Nikola Tesla know more about “pulling” energy from the Earth or the air than we knew, which anyone advanced enough in technology or science would eventually discover—and be able to exploit?

Mysterious “butterfly people” were seen by the residents of Joplin, Missouri during the 2011 F5 tornado that devastated the midwest. Curiously, these beings appeared at the perfect moment that some residents were sheltered from danger and miraculously survived. In this episode, Rob and John attempt to answer the questions: What happened in Joplin? Are the butterfly people real? What are the butterfly people? Did survivors of the Twister-esque tornado see butterfly people or angels during the storm? Was the massive, devastating tornado natural? Where did the tornado come from? With well over a hundred deaths and 1,000 injuries in Joplin, damage up to $7 billion, numerous homes destroyed, vehicles mangled, and commercial buildings flattened, the May storm was one of the largest tornado outbreaks on record. It affected the midwest and south, including Arkansas, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Oklahoma, and more. In Joplin specifically, two thunderstorms merged to produce a “mega tornado.” Interestingly, the highest reports of people encountering “butterfly people” were from children. After an intense car accident, butterflies began appearing around 14-year-old Emily Huddleson. In the middle of a violent weather attack, 10-year-old Mason Lillard felt a hand placed on her shoulder—and it wasn’t her cousin Lage, but a sight nobody would’ve believed if it weren’t for all the other reports of “butterfly people” sightings going around town later. Rob Counts brings his investigative research into firsthand sightings and local legends. Then, John Vivanco shares his incredible remote viewing data that will shed light on the “butterfly people” phenomena and more. Strange, paranormal phenomena have been spotted before natural disasters struck in other cases, but this episode of Metaphysical reveals possibly the strangest one yet.

In the abandoned town of Portlock, Alaska, something terrifying lurks: the Nantinaq, Alaska’s giant Bigfoot. In this Metaphysical episode, Rob and John investigate sightings of the strange “hairy man of Alaska,” discussing whether these claims are real, false, or if perhaps the answer lies somewhere in the middle. They also look into a place dubbed “Bigfoot Island,” and some extremely bizarre occurrences of 1500 lb. trees being turned upside down and driven 4 feet deep into the ground, with no evidence of human equipment involved in the process. There is no stranger account of an Alaskan mystery than that of the abandoned village of Port Chatham, Alaska (Portlock). Residents were reportedly chased out by a series of murders, which were blamed on a strange beast from the forest. Now, the reports are split between 1) debunkers claiming there’s no evidence of the creature and 2) hunters traveling to the area, spending thousands to locate what they call the Alaskan Nantinaq—a Bigfoot larger, stronger and more ferocious than any other on the planet. And why wouldn’t it be? Not just anything can survive in Alaska. Of stories and evidence of Bigfoot sightings around the world, some stand out more than others, especially when you get to the mysterious territories in the north and especially when you get to Alaska—a sparsely populated, volatile countryside in which legends have been passed down for generations verbally. Today, the mysteries have trickled down to Alaska’s current American inhabitants.

Terrifying and bizarre cryptids live in Alaska, proving Inuit paranormal legends are real. That’s what remote viewing data and investigative research have found about the history of Alaska, which nobody seems willing to admit. Alaska’s paranormal activity ranges from sightings in the sky to the strangest creatures known, passed down verbally over generations in the Inuit culture. The sightings and stories of these strange beings span from Greenland on the far east coast all the way to Alaska. Even more curious than that, the description of these beings seems to match identical cryptid counterparts all across the world. How could a culture so far removed in the north be seeing things that people have names for in other parts of the world? Is there any evidence that these creatures of myth could be real? Since 1970, more than 16,000 people have disappeared from Alaska, with some putting that number at 20,000. For such a sparsely populated state, this is a massive number; it’s over double the national average. Is it just the volatile weather in Alaska and hard living conditions causing disappearances, or is there something more nefarious going on? Get ready to have your world turned upside down by the end of this episode. Join Rob Counts and John Vivanco on Metaphysical for a show that’s out of this world. Creatures, beings, and people in this episode include: the half-wolf, half-orca “akhlut”; the master of bears, “nanook”; giants; the Tuniit people; the Thule; the Inupasugjuk giants of the north; werewolves, “dogman,” and the adlet; skinwalkers; tuurngait spirits; shadow people; creatures like the qalupalik and tammatuyuq that hunt or feed on children; the psychotic “mahaha” that lives on chaos and tickles victims to death; and more. 🛒 Visit the Metaphysical Shop

Something lurks beneath the surface of central Alaska. Up on land, reports of heightened electromagnetic activity and odd-acting animals are the norm, but is it because something deeply strange is causing these disturbances? In this episode, hear discussions on the mystery of the Alaskan Dark Pyramid, nuclear weaponry, an account from a United States Army counterintelligence officer, remote viewing data on what’s happening underground in Alaska, the pyramids of Giza, the strangest Alaskan wildlife behavior you’ve never heard of, and more. In Fairbanks, Alaska in June of 2015, strange, eel-like, blood-sucking fish called lampreys fell from the sky and littered the city. It’s important to note that they are seldomly caught and rarely even seen. A few months later, thousands of dead seabirds washed up in Whittier, Alaska. Around the same time in Afognak, just above Kodiak Island, about 10 whales washed up dead on the shore. In 2019, 60 seals washed up dead. Bizarrely, some were found to have lost all their hair. What caused it? 35,000 walruses gathered on a beach in western Alaska around the same time. That’s seven times more than had ever been seen in one place before. What brought them to Alaska? Does that mean something is wrong? Some people think the strange behavior is from strange electromagnetics within the “Alaska Triangle,” and others just don’t know what to think at all!

What made the mysterious project leader “Axel Rod” suddenly pull a remote viewer out of his session, then take him hiking through the wilderness to an undisclosed location where they had to remain silent? Hear the impossible-sounding details of governmental remote viewing projects in which figures like Ingo Swann and Pat Price were tasked with looking at otherworldly events. Is alien activity the real reason why people go missing in Alaska? About 20,000 people have disappeared from Alaska since 1970. This is a massive number for such a sparsely populated state; it’s over double the national average. Some might write that off, considering the conditions in Alaska are so cold and treacherous. But considering its size and population, which is only about 733,000 people, the amount of UFO sightings is staggering—with some sources saying there are well over 6500 reported sightings of UFOs. Compare this number to one of the most populated states in America, Florida, which in 2015 only had about 5,100 UFO sightings. Then, this Alaska number gets even more curious.

[Part 6] Do dolphins have greater interdimensional knowledge of the universe—and do they want to share it with humanity? Do orcas and cetaceans have a greater level of self awareness and even compassion than we previously knew? Remote viewing data, telepathy research, and sonic experiments turn up surprising results about animal consciousness.

What did the chairman of the CIA’s technical requirements board officially approve—in writing—that the agency fund and support? Hear everything Rob and John found in the declassified document that details an unusual request. Why were bottlenose dolphins really trained to complete some covert and very illicit tasks? Is it a coincidence that major and deadly weapons development was underway at the time, or that the United States, Soviet Union, and communist China were in competition? Hear speculation about what the dolphin saboteurs were being trained to do. Can animals really effectively participate in intelligence collection, and are they the perfect innocent-seeming spies or just wild animals? Which United States military branch appears to still have a dolphin program to this day?

Ever heard the stories of UFOs seen around nuclear plants? How about unbelievable sightings of Mothman? Are you interested in unbelievable history? Of course you are if you’ve been following Metaphysical, or if you’ve been following recent whistleblowers like David Grusch, or even if you went to see Oppenheimer. But in this episode, John and Rob go so much deeper into stories of a being that actually morphed into a UFO, remote viewing data on what these craft are doing when they’re spotted over nuclear plants, and so much more. If nuclear technology can split apart an atom and set off an uncontrollable chain reaction, it’s really not so far-fetched to think about these stories of bizarre creatures or alien contact, right?

Have you ever heard of the mysterious black bird of Chernobyl spotted lurking around before the fateful nuclear accident? Have you heard of animals with bizarre characteristics found at nuclear power plants, or strange creatures appearing at bomb sites in the years that followed explosions? Is there shocking proof that The Abyss and Godzilla are more documentary than fiction? Hold onto your hats because the Metaphysical podcast is going down all of these rabbit holes today, and missing nuclear bombs are just the beginning of the nuclear nonsense we found this week. But that’s just some of the investigative research from Rob Counts. Just wait till you hear the remote viewing data John Vivanco’s team found about nonhuman, inter-country spies and radioactive cryptids. Then there are so many really weird stories to go over, info that contradicts official government reports, and more. Join the Metaphysical podcast for a show that’s out of this world.

[Part 7] Whistleblowers are increasingly having a stronger and stronger voice in the public now that UFOs and advanced technology are becoming more accepted. And with all this firsthand testimony and whistleblower accounts, there’s a lot to unpack! Last time, the Metaphysical podcast started talking about Eric Hecker, who worked on a base in Antarctica, and they talked about the IceCube South Pole Neutrino Observatory. Along the way, John shared some amazing remote viewing data on what’s really happening in this frigid wasteland off-limits to almost everyone. But that episode left off before talking about some of the juicy details: what the “Old Pole” station really is, what happens when the green laser that Hecker saw beams out into the cosmos, and so much more—like the strange technology and amazing things happening there.

[Part 6] Welcome back to the Metaphysical podcast for another episode in this marathon of a deep dive into the secrets of Antarctica. From Atlantis and Ark of Gabriel rumors to UFOs, secret military operations, and Nazis, John and Rob have covered a lot so far. But today, they’re going to get into some of the claims made by whistleblowers like Eric Hecker, who worked at an Antarctic base and later came forward with testimony about the surprising hazards, covered up truths, and technology most people wouldn’t believe are really located there. What happens when your superiors or the world’s governments tell you one thing about “peace and scientific collaboration,” but your eyes show you a world of suppressed danger, otherworldly weapons, and shady experiments? You’re about to hear all about it, including the remote viewing data on whistleblowers Eric Hecker, Gary McKinnon, and more.

[Part 5] Welcome back to the Metaphysical podcast for the next episode in this marathon of a deep dive into the secrets of Antarctica. John and Rob have covered ancient civilizations, Admiral Byrd, military operations from both the United States and Nazi Germany, and nuclear testing. But if you thought that was the end, they’re really just getting started. You KNOW you want to hear the truth about the tales of a giant hole that leads to the center of the earth—and whether it’s real or a rumor. You KNOW you want to hear about the ancient aliens said to be on Antarctica and the UFO technology reportedly located there. And there are other weird things going on down there like gravity anomalies that are definitely going to blow your mind. If that sounds like the metaphysical kind of information you’re looking for, join remote viewer John Vivanco and investigative researcher Rob Counts for a show that’s out of this world.

[Part 4] Metaphysical has been doing a marathon of episodes diving deep into the secrets of Antarctica. After the last episodes looking at the clandestine military operations under Admiral Byrd, talking about evidence of ancient civilizations on Antarctica, and discussing mysterious Nazi history on the continent, John and Rob wanted to look into the unusual events that have happened there. Have you ever heard the rumor that the Ark of Gabriel is hidden in Antarctica? How about nuclear testing on Antarctica as far back as the ‘50s? They also came across the strange death of Admiral Byrd’s son that some think was fishy … but you be the judge. If you like mysteries and unsolved history with missing answers, this episode is definitely going to blow your mind because some of the remote viewing data from John’s team may reveal truths never exposed before. Join John Vivanco and investigative researcher Rob Counts for a show that’s out of this world.

[Part 3] So far in this marathon of episodes on the secrets of Antarctica, John and Rob talked about the strange facts about Antarctica, the Antarctic Treaty between the countries of the world, and why the frigid continent is mostly off-limits to civilians. But in this episode, they dive deeper into Antarctica’s past. Did you know that the Nazis went down to Antarctica in the ‘30s to “research”? What other secret missions were they on? Did they succeed in building a base down there? And how about the United States, which was obviously keeping a close eye on Nazi technology and progress as they watched the world come to a war? The infamous Admiral Byrd, the highly decorated US Navy hero, led a huge-scale mission called Operation Highjump down to Antarctica—and what he encountered has been up for debate for more than 75 years. What did he really see down there, and what did the global powers learn that may have shaped our technological future? Well, join remote viewer John Vivanco and investigative researcher Rob Counts for a show that’s out of this world.

[Part 1] John and Rob like to look into locations that have strange stories, paranormal activity, and whistleblower information that totally blows our minds. So when they hit on the topic of Antarctica, they were surprised at what they found because it combines ALL of these things in a frigid, lifeless location where presumably not much activity should really exist. What are the theories about ancient civilizations existing there? What extremely weird facts about Antarctica make it such an unusual place? What rumors may be very true, and why is Antarctica largely off-limits to the world? Join remote viewer John Vivanco and investigative researcher Rob Counts for a show that’s out of this world.

[Part 2] In the last episode*, John and Rob started talking about the frozen wasteland of Antarctica … OR IS IT? We’ve all heard crazy rumors of advanced technology, secret research operations, military bases, and even UFOs hiding in the barren continent, but what’s the truth? Is there a reason that Antarctica is almost completely off-limits to the civilians of the world and why countries in competition with each other have all peacefully agreed to a sacred Antarctic Treaty sharing the land? Well, this episode dives into the data, rumors, and more.

Part 4: You’ve heard about UFO whistleblowers who received classified information about the existence of top secret projects the military has been covering up for decades. But now you need to hear about the research from military aerospace historian Michael Schratt that will blow your mind. Going through tens of thousands of files with reports from top brass military personnel who gave their testimonies about downed craft, a secret retrieval program, and more, Michael Schratt was able to work directly with firsthand information.

Part 3: The Metaphysical podcast has talked about David Grusch’s testimony he gave to Congress and the interview he did with NewsNation. But this episode has the info you’ve been waiting for: professional remote viewer John Vivanco’s RV data. Who are the “adversaries” Grusch avoided naming in his interview? Why has there been a UFO coverup at all? How have these craft been taken down if there’s an entire crash retrieval program established within each of these countries? What does radar have to do with it all? And most importantly: why is Grusch really coming out as a whistleblower? Join John and investigative researcher Rob Counts as they answer all of these burning questions, plus bring you up an interesting clip from Tucker Carlson talking about evidence of UFOs. 👉 Watch Metaphysical and more on Rise.TV!

Part 2: It couldn’t be named the “Metaphysical” podcast without talking about one of the most metaphysical topics out there every so often: UFOs. And perfect timing! Everyone’s trying to figure out the truth about David Grusch, the Air Force whistleblower who publicly claims that the US government has a highly secretive UFO recovery program, and has “non-human” spacecraft and “dead pilots.” John and Rob started talking about Grusch’s claims and background last time, but in this episode, they’ll also talk about why the government and media are responding the way they are, including smear attacks. Who is Grusch saying the US’s “adversaries” are? Could these adversaries come from off-planet? Decide what YOU think of it all after you hear what they found.

👉 Watch Metaphysical and more on Rise.TV! Part 10: Did you know that there have been sightings of an immortal known as St. Germain in the Mt. Shasta area? Did you know that this being has been seen in some very strange places over the centuries and has some even stranger (and maybe impossible) characteristics? When you hear John Vivanco’s remote viewing data plus Rob Counts’ investigative research into how immortality, reptilians, vampires, secret societies, and serial killers all converge in this historic chronicle of events, your mind is really going to be blown. The Metaphysical podcast has been diving into the strange, the mysterious, and the occult trifecta that makes up the area of Mt. Shasta in California. But even after covering UFOs, lenticular clouds, occult Theosophists, the gold rush, reptilian beings, Batsquatch and Bigfoot, and so much more, they’re really not done. Join John and Rob for a show that’s out of this world.

👉 Watch Metaphysical and more on Rise.TV! Part 9: The Metaphysical Podcast left off last time on a cliffhanger: John and Rob started talking about sightings of strange beings on Mt. Shasta and the accounts from occult writers like H.P. Lovecraft who told of reptilian entities living beneath the earth. But if you thought that Lovecraft was just having nightmares, they found yet another 1930s article from the LA Times all about the history of these beings. Were Lovecraft’s monsters real? Does Lemuria have a traceable esoteric history? Yes, the occultists worshiping this stuff were out of their minds, but were they mixing fact in with their fiction? The odd circumstances may shock you. There’s also evidence of secret tunnels even in our modern day, like hidden tunnels under the Playboy Mansion connected to celebrities’ homes—evidenced in pictures from their own website.
