Not Alone

This week we reference the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise a record number of times, and in order to do so we turn an eye towards the second best nautically themed legend of all time (the first of course being Captain Jack Sparrow and his rowdy gang of misfits) THE FLYING DUTCHMAN! From Wagner to Spongebob and back again we take a look at the legends origins, how it was solidified into the public consciousness, and finally the shocking true encounters of the dreaded phantom ship on the high seas.

In this episode we explore the many different problems that you, our lovely listener friends, have gone through in your life. And man, some of them are intense. Some of them are funny. Most of them aren't. We want to thank each and every person who wrote in, sharing their experience and blessing us with their stories. Also, it's three hours long, so there's that as well. Happy Halloween!

Join us as we reach PEAK derailment discussing the final fate of the Dybbuk box and how it involves on of our favorite musicians, a talented young whippersnapper named Post Malone and a guy who puts WAAAAAAAAAY too much gel in his hair. We also cover the supernatural origin of the box, or better said the entity which resides within it to this day. Racist Nazis, Pop Stars, and more intersect in the most surprising ways that no one could have anticipated. We hope you'll enjoy.

This week we explore the folklore of the Dybbuk, a unique entity in Hebrew Mysticism, a disembodied human soul too wicked to be allowed to enter the afterlife, but unable to find refuge in this mortal plane. They seek a home in the bodies of unwitting victims, a parasite of the soul, whether human or animal. However, if needs be, they may take up place in something else. Some sort of a inorganic vessel, an object that can house the evil soul until a new host becomes available. In a story that starts before the second world war and continues even now, cursing pop stars and penniless immigrants alike, we see the Dybbuk moving even in this day. We hope you'll enjoy.

This week, Sam becomes the very thing he swore to destroy as he irrationally and angrily denies the Mandela Effect. Also, we learn what Deja Vu ACTUALLY is and have a brief discussion on Parallel Universes and why they probably can't be used to explain away everything. Also, special guest star: Caitie Fredrickson telling us her own Mandela Effect story which we refuse to believe. We hope you'll enjoy.

This week we finish up our two parter of the first part on the gulf breeze UFO sightings with our good friend Rob from Our Strange Skies. Join us as we watch Ed Walters descend further into madness, as he continues to dodge the worst abduction attempts we’ve ever seen. We hope you’ll enjoy!

This week we dive into one of the most insane and also most compelling accounts of alien contact to grace the modern age. Beyond a simple light in the sky, or even a full blown extra-terrestrial kidnapping, Ed and Frances Walters experienced, over the course of years, repeated contact with what must be acknowledged as just the worst the Aliens had to offer. Bungled abductions, photographic confirmation, and a grand total of over 20 different encounters with the same entities have turned the Gulf Breeze UFO case into one of the most enduring and interesting of our time.

This week we conclude our series on the Jinn of legend by examining stories of their interactions with humans throughout the ages. Starting in classical Arabia, winding our way through the war on terror, and finally ending our journey at an oasis, a haunted outpost in the unforgiving heat of the desert, we will examine how the stories of the Jinn have in some ways changed with the times, and how in other ways they have, terrifyingly, stayed the same. We hope you’ll enjoy

This week we explore the lore and legend associated with one of the most unique magical beings of all time, the Jinn, or Genie as many of us know it as. We will explore it's origin in pre-islamic arabia, its codification as truth in the Quran, and it's transformation into the big, blue, vessel for Robin William's soul that we know it to be today. We hope you'll enjoy!

This week we cover an obscure bit of Californian Folklore, the Dark Watchers. Listen as Sam asks Jason if he's familiar with all sorts of Californian things, and the two of them bond over the atrocities of John Steinbeck, while trying to get to the bottom of stories that have to do with human shadows, unaccompanied by humans, living in the mountains of Big Sur. We hope you'll enjoy!

This week in the thrilling conclusion to our series on Project Pegasus, wrapping up our second 'Conspiracy Jason Just Doesn't Get', we examine the good lawyer/future president's claim that he and Barack Obama have more in common than the presidency. The red planet has often found itself at the center of crazy conspiracy theories worth their weight in untraceable, sequentially numbered bills, and this is no exception. Join us as we explore the TRUTH ABOUT MARS

This week we reprise the wickedly popular format, Conspiracies Jason Just Doesn't Get! This time, we take too close of a look at Project Pegasus, the top secret time travel project built upon the work of Nikola Tesla and Father Ernetti, developed by DARPA in order to give the United States a leg up in the time-space age which began in 1970. We'll explore stories of presidential conspiracy, assassination, and shoe mischief! We hope you enjoy!

This week we focus on one of the most enduring, albeit it improbable, of all modern myths, that of Father Ernetti and the Chronovisor! Join us as we dive into the rich tapestry of mystery which surrounds the supposed invention of a device that can be used for a variety of purposes, from removing the faith in faith-based religious systems, to enforcing universal dictatorships which could enslave us all at the drop of a hat. We'll cover the story, the evidence, and the major players in this temporal tragedy! We hope you'll enjoy!

This week we cover one of the most convincing, corroborated accounts of an Extra-Terrestrial Encounter that the world has to offer. 62 witnesses, all claiming to see the same thing at the same time, verified to be telling the truth, as best they could, by one of the foremost psychoanalysts of the late 20th century. Stories of ecological doom, technological Armageddon, and specific references to other lesser known alien abductee and contactee symptoms and shared trauma. And whaddya know? Jason still doesn't believe a word of it. But you can't really blame him. Zimbabwe here we come!

This week we explore the insane world of UFHs, Unidentified Flying Humanoids, and literal real life witches in the skies over Mexico. One of the most well documented paranormal phenomena, dozens of videos and photo evidence have been documented to show everything from little strange dots to full blown winged, supernatural beings, fluttering about in the sky. From there, we move forward to examine the eyewitness accounts and trace evidence cases of real-life witches menacing members of law enforcement as well as the general public. It is truly amazing stuff.

This week we finish up our series on Scotland and its many beautiful and terrifying elements of the macabre. We focus on Witchcraft in Scotland, the infamous body-snatchers William Burke and William Hare, and the most treacherous poltergeist to haunt the earth. We hope you'll enjoy!

This week we cover the first of two big ghost stories Sam "researched" on his vacation to Scotland, this first being the White Lady of St. Andrews and her Chamber of Corpses. Join us as we marvel as the mundane things the British do, and discover the saga of the most undeniably beautiful ghost in the world.

This week we return to a topic touched on in earlier episodes, one that gives Sam the absolute spooks and Jason a bad case of sleep paralysis. The folklore surrounding the Skinwalker, the evil entity of First Nations belief, is as chilling as it is resilient. To this day, stories of Skinwalker Encounters come in fresh, and Sam and Jason are going to do your best to teach you some things to be on the lookout when wandering alone at night.

Jason is back this week with one of his best specials yet. This week he digs into the phenomena of Spiritualism, specifically its historic roots and how we came to form our negative culture perception of it, as well as it's toolkit, Seances and Ouija Boards. As always, he explains there is nothing to fear but fear itself, and moves us from the Fox Sisters of the 19th century through to the present day. He also introduces one of the show's new catchphrases. We hope you enjoy!

This week we conclude our series on the Toynbee Tiles focusing on a search for the Toynbee Tiler. As we explore characters with names like Railroad Joe, and the Birdman, men with no voice boxes, and entire associations advocating for Jupiterian Resurrection, we bring in a team of researchers whose unveiling of the Tiler is as good a drama as life could ever provide.

This week we examine one of the most perplexing and enduring mysteries of the modern day. The convoluted story of the Toynbee Tiles mix fantasy, science-fiction, religion, organized crime, and the promise of eternal life to create one big pie of crazy. It is a gift that keeps on giving. In part one, we tell a brief story of the appearance of the tiles all over the world, and decode the message found within. Next week we’ll be working to unveil the identity of the tiler. We hope you’ll enjoy! You can visit http://notalonepodcast.com/Toynbee1 for more information and sources for this episode

This week, Sam blindsides Jason with a story almost too good to be true. It's got heavy police involvement and documentation. It's got the makings of a great hoax, but has never officially been solved. It's got a displaced family, a ruined home, and, most importantly, it's got a talking stove. We hope you'll enjoy.

Ghosts, Mad Scientists, Devil Worshipers and more await. We hope you’ll enjoy!

Fair warning, some dogs die in this one. We're sorry for that.

This week we explore Ireland’s most haunted castle and the inhuman horrors that dwell within! Leap Castle has been established on a foundation of blood since before the first stone of its walls were laid, and with the unparalleled amount of straight up murder that took place in and beneath the fortress, it is no wonder why it got such an abundance of ghosts, as well as a creature so chillingly described that if it’s even halfway real, makes me no longer wish to live on this planet anymore. We hope you’ll enjoy!

This week, the first time something like this has ever happened, Sam responds to Jason's most recent special. Bringing stories of Vampires in the New World, we focus in on the fine details hidden within Jason's broad strokes, doing our best to compliment each other and create for you a vibrant painting of a vampire coming to suck your blood. We'll explore love and loss in New England, and serial killers in the swamplands of New Orleans. We hope you'll enjoy!

This week Jason returns for his sixth special, this time taking us through the wild world of Blood and the monsters that drink it. From ancient Mesopotamian demons to cute little bats vomiting blood into each others mouths, he covers it all with glee and childlike wonder. But we won't hold that against him. We hope you'll enjoy this HYPNOTIZING episode!

This week, with our glorious return from a two week break, Sam and Jason bring you another in their Tales of... series.

This week we wrap up our series on David Icke and his reptilian Conspiracy theory. We transition from things provable to things unprovable, to tales of moon illusion and blood-drinking monarchs. Sam descends into madness and Jason leaves just as frustrated as he came. Love and Light to all of you, and may Icke have mercy on us all.

This is it. Over the last year we've received multiple requests asking us to look into the Reptilian Conspiracy, and the theories of David Icke specifically. Today, that wish is granted, with great pain. Sam takes Jason through the theory of Reptilian Control, starting with the least crazy aspects and dialing it up as we go. On this, the first of two episodes, we'll be taking you through the origins of the Reptilian Conspiracy theory, and examining the framework of belief that has lead millions of people into thinking literal giant lizard people are controlling everything we see and experience. Next week we will be looking at the fringier (if that's even possible) of the theories bundled with this conspiracy, and the stuff we simply can't explain or disprove. We hope you know how much we love you.
