Tonight we’re going all the way back to January of 2004. This was only the third episode that I ever did and back then I was on the Live365 Radio network. At that time, it was Internet Radio, and not podcasting, that was the big thing. In fact, podcasting didn’t even exist. I didn’t have anything except for a headset microphone that I plugged directly into the 3.5mm microphone jack on the computer. I couldn’t afford anything else. I think you’ll be able to tell by the sound quality that what I was working with wasn’t very expensive. But all I needed was that headset, a computer and an internet connection and my dream of having my own radio talk show was realized. On this episode, I’m discussing the Spirits of the Dead – what they are and how to contact them. I was still learning how to be a talk show host, and the identity of the show hadn’t been established yet. You’ll definitely be able to tell it. It would take me a while to develop my style and make the show what I wanted. Anyway, I hope you’ll take the time to listen to at least part of this episode. It kind of shows you how far I’ve come. I present to you ParaReality Flashback, episode 3 – Spirits of the Dead. Originally recorded on January 25, 2004. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What if the things we call ghosts…aren’t the only ones watching? Tonight on ParaReality, Sandman sits down with D. Paul—U.S. Navy veteran, Native American Holy Man, and spiritual warrior—to explore the terrifying true inspiration behind Mystery’s at the Windham Inn: The Feral Feline. At the center of this story lies the Windham Inn, a place steeped in centuries of tragedy, where the line between the living and the unseen has all but disappeared. Here, dark entities don’t just haunt—they hunt. And the battle for one man’s soul reveals something far bigger than a traditional haunting. Because lurking behind the veil are the Watchers—mysterious beings who observe, record, and, at times, intervene. Are they spiritual guardians…or something closer to what we now call non-human intelligence? As Season 20 dives deep into UFOs and Disclosure, this episode asks a chilling question: What if the paranormal, the spiritual, and the extraterrestrial are all part of the same hidden reality? From ancient curses and generational hauntings to portals, possession, and unseen forces manipulating free will—this is more than a ghost story. It’s a glimpse into a war that may have been unfolding around us for centuries. Turn on. Tune in. And find out. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In one of the most persistent conspiracy theories of the modern era, legendary filmmaker Stanley Kubrick is accused of helping the U.S. government stage the historic Apollo 11 Moon Landing. But where did this theory come from—and is there any truth behind it? In this episode of Midnight Syndicate, Sandman and Easy E explore the strange intersection of Hollywood, Cold War paranoia, and one of humanity’s greatest achievements. From Kubrick’s groundbreaking film 2001: A Space Odyssey to the hidden symbolism conspiracy theorists claim to see in The Shining, we break down the claims, the “evidence,” and the psychological reasons this theory refuses to die. Was Kubrick secretly recruited by NASA to film the greatest deception in history? Did he hide clues in his movies? Or is the story itself a fascinating example of how myth and mistrust shape modern conspiracies? Step into the shadows of cinema, secrecy, and the Space Race as we ask the question: Did Stanley Kubrick fake the Moon landing? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

For decades, unidentified aerial phenomena were dismissed as misidentifications, hoaxes, or fringe speculation. Then the Department of Defense created a permanent office to study them. In this episode of ParaReality, I examine the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office — AARO — and ask the question that matters most: why does it exist? From Cold War investigations like Project Sign, Grudge, and Blue Book to modern encounters like the Tic Tac, Gimbal, and GoFast incidents, we trace the institutional evolution that led to the creation of a centralized office dedicated to analyzing unidentified anomalies across air, sea, and space. What has AARO actually found? What remains unresolved? And what does it mean when the unexplained is no longer dismissed, but formally tracked and investigated? This isn’t about proving what UAP are. It’s about understanding why they’re being taken seriously. Turn On. Tune In. Find Out. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Originally airing on the Live365 Radio Network, this is only the second episode of what was then called ParaReality Radio. This episode is all about the Chupacabra and originally aired on January 3, 2004 The chupacabra ("goat sucker") is an animal said to be unknown to science and systemically killing animals in places like Puerto Rico, Miami, Nicaragua, Chile, and Mexico. The creature's name originated with the discovery of some dead goats in Puerto Rico with puncture wounds in their necks and their blood allegedly drained. According to UFO Magazine there have been more than 2,000 reported cases of animal mutilations in Puerto Rico attributed to the chupacabra. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on ParaReality, Sandman sits down with experiencer and author Bret Oldham to explore a side of contact that rarely gets discussed — what happens after the encounters. Based on themes from his book Children of the Greys: Aftermath, Bret shares what it’s like to live with the long-term psychological, emotional, and personal impact of experiences that don’t come with clear explanations or easy closure. This conversation moves beyond sightings and speculation, diving into memory, identity, family ripple effects, and the challenge of integrating extraordinary experiences into everyday life. Whether you see the phenomenon as external, internal, symbolic, or something else entirely — this episode explores the human side of the unknown.

From late 1896 to mid-1897, thousands across the US reported cigar-shaped "mystery airships" with bright spotlights, impossible speeds, and silent flight years before viable aircraft existed. Centered in the Midwest and California, these sightings—often featuring inventor stories or alien theories—remain largely unexplained, combining mass hysteria, hoaxes, and early UFO lore. Listen in as the Syndicate discusses the mystery, the sightings and gives their opinions on what these mystery airships could possibly have been. Learn more about your ad choices.

In Part 2 of this ParaReality investigation into disclosure, Sandman looks beyond the sightings and testimony to ask a more difficult question: why does secrecy persist? From national security and institutional control to public perception and narrative management, this episode explores whether disclosure is unfolding naturally — or being carefully managed. Episode 1 examined what we know. Episode 2 explores why the truth still feels just out of reach. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Wow! Here it is, the very first episode of ParaReality that I ever did. I had just signed up for a Live365 account and all I had was a headset microphone and an idea. I also had no clue what I was doing! I think that the first version of ParaReality Radio was a unique one. It combined stories of the paranormal with a nice dose of rock music, ending with one of the most popular segments that I ever did - News of the Strange. Back then, I could get away with playing music because Live365 covered me with music licensing. I know I'm not supposed to play licensed music without permission, but I feel that I need to keep the integrity of the original episode by keeping it as is. If I get into trouble, so be it. For some reason, I decided that for my very first episode of ParaReality ever, I wanted to tackle the story of the Devil's Footprints. a legend of hoof-like marks left by the Devil left in Devon, England. After heavy snowfall, mysterious, hoof-like prints appeared in a straight line for over 100 miles, crossing obstacles like rooftops and rivers, causing widespread panic. Explanations vary from escaped animals (kangaroos, donkeys) and unusual atmospheric conditions to a hoax, but the mystery remains unsolved. Please keep in mind that this was the very first episode that I did, so I had no clue what I was doing. It's definitely not my best work by far. That being kept in mind, it is what it is. I hope you can appreciate it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Flying saucers were once dismissed as fantasy — until pilots, radar data, and Congressional hearings changed the conversation. In this episode of ParaReality, Sandman sits down with author and researcher Maxim W. Furek to explore Flying Saucer Esoteric: The Altered States of Ufology. Moving beyond simple sightings, this discussion dives into UFO history, psychology, consciousness, folklore, whistleblowers, the USS Nimitz encounter, alleged alien bodies, and the growing Age of Disclosure. Are UFOs physical craft, psychological events, or something far stranger? And what does the phenomenon reveal about us? This episode asks the questions others avoid. Learn more about your ad choices.

Flying saucers were once dismissed as fantasy — until pilots, radar data, and Congress changed the conversation. In this episode of ParaReality, Sandman is joined by author and researcher Maxim W. Furek to discuss his book Flying Saucer Esoteric: The Altered States of Ufology. Together, they explore UFO history, contactees, government secrecy, consciousness, Bigfoot/UAP connections, whistleblowers, alleged alien bodies, and the modern push toward disclosure.

A powerful man is dead. The official story is neat, controlled, and reassuring. But the details refuse to stay quiet. In this first episode of Midnight Syndicate, the hosts step into the shadows surrounding the murder of a UnitedHealthcare CEO—an event that sent shockwaves through corporate America and raised more questions than answers. What begins as a seemingly isolated act quickly becomes something far more unsettling as timelines blur, motives conflict, and silence grows louder than any press statement. This isn’t a whodunit. It’s a why… and a who benefits. As layers of power, influence, and institutional protection are peeled back, listeners are invited to question how narratives are shaped, how quickly stories disappear, and what happens when the victim sits at the top of a billion-dollar industry. Was this an act of rage? A warning? Or something we were never meant to examine too closely? No conclusions are handed to you. No answers are promised. Only fragments, patterns, and the creeping sense that some truths are buried on purpose. Initiates only. Truth hides in the dark. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

UFOs are no longer a fringe topic. Congressional hearings, military testimony, and whistleblowers have pushed UAPs into the mainstream — but real answers remain elusive. In Part 1 of this two-episode ParaReality investigation, Sandman examines the history, the hearings, and the witnesses behind modern disclosure, revealing a pattern of acknowledgment without transparency. Episode 1 lays out the facts. Episode 2 asks why the truth still feels just out of reach. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

For decades, the subject of UFOs — now known as UAPs — was dismissed, ridiculed, or buried beneath layers of secrecy. But in recent years, something has changed. Congressional hearings have been held. Military pilots have testified under oath. Whistleblowers have stepped forward. And the U.S. government has openly acknowledged that unidentified objects are operating in our skies. So why does it still feel like we’re not getting any real answers? In Episode 1 of this two-part ParaReality investigation into disclosure, host Sandman examines what we actually know — and how we got here. From the early days of Roswell and Project Blue Book to modern Pentagon programs, public hearings, and high-profile whistleblower testimony, this episode traces the evolving government narrative surrounding the UAP phenomenon. Along the way, we explore a troubling pattern: acknowledgment without explanation, testimony without accountability, and movement without resolution. If credible witnesses are speaking under oath, why aren’t their claims being fully investigated? And if the phenomenon is real, why does transparency always seem to stop just short of the truth? This episode doesn’t tell you what to believe — it lays out the facts, the history, and the unanswered questions, allowing you to draw your own conclusions. Episode 1 sets the stage.

This isn't an episode of ParaReality. This is another episode of the Paranormal Nashville show when I was actually interviewed and not the co-host. The show was hosted by my good friend Tony Pratt. It focused on all of the unusual activity that happened in and around the Nashville, TN area. I don't know the date this episode originally aired. In it, we talked about how I got into the paranormal, how I got involved in radio and some of my paranormal experiences. The audio is a little low on this, so you will need to turn your volume up.

This isn't an episode of ParaReality Radio. This is a co-host gig that I did on my sister show on WRFN - Paranormal Nashville. The show was hosted by my good friend Tony Pratt.

This episode is entitled "Unlocking the Power of the Mind" and features an interview with Dr. Stephanie West. Dr. West is a clinical hypnotherapist who specializes in soul therapy.

In this explosive season finale, Sandman sits down with author and JFK researcher Anthony Pratt to unravel the hidden network he believes was responsible for the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Pratt — former editor of The JFK Assassination Report: 13 Shots and author of JFK Masterminds, Assassinations: The Day America Wept, and Mystery US Universe: Origin & Destiny — presents a sprawling case involving CIA operatives, Mafia figures, political power brokers, Cuban exile groups, foreign intelligence agencies, covert shooters, and an enigmatic shadow organization known as Night Shade. Together, we examine the motives, connections, and suppressed evidence that challenge the official narrative and paint a far darker picture of November 22, 1963.

In this gripping episode, I'm diving deep into the labyrinthine darkness surrounding Jeffrey Epstein – a name synonymous not just with unfathomable evil, but with a global network of wealth, power, and deeply disturbing secrets. From his enigmatic rise from a modest background to his intimate connections with presidents, royalty, tech moguls, and whispers of intelligence agencies, I'll peel back the layers of Epstein's life. We'll explore how his alleged "financial firm" was a front for a sophisticated blackmail operation, gathering compromising material on the world's most powerful individuals. But the core of this investigation lies in "The Epstein Files" themselves: the sealed court documents, FBI evidence, and rumored surveillance tapes that hold the key to who was involved, what they did, and why this truth remains so fiercely suppressed. I'll reveal the shocking details that have emerged from recent civil lawsuits in the U.S. Virgin Islands, implicating major financial institutions and hinting at a systemic failure to hold the powerful accountable. This isn't just a story about a convicted pedophile; it's a profound examination of power, corruption, and the fight for justice in a world where the elite seem to operate above the law. Join me as I demand transparency, because when it comes to the Epstein Files, the truth is rarely what it seems, and the public has a right to know. Learn more about your ad choices.

This past May, I found myself nestled in the heart of the Smoky Mountains — a land thick with folklore, ancient spirits, and more than a few eyewitness accounts of the unexplained. I was at the Smoky Mountain Bigfoot Festival in beautiful Townsend, Tennessee, and let me tell you — this wasn’t just a celebration of Sasquatch. This was a gathering of the weird, the wild, and the wonderfully haunted. I wasn’t just there as a fan. I went to collect the voices of the people who’ve seen things — things they can’t always explain, things they’ve never forgotten. I set up a small booth, a humble little station tucked between a moonshine distillery tent and a guy selling hand-carved Bigfoot statues. I asked one simple question to everyone who walked by:“Have you ever experienced something... paranormal?” And man... they delivered. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Tonight we’re venturing into the heart of Bigfoot country. You’ve heard the stories—the footprints, the howls, the fleeting shadows caught on camera—but how many people are actually willing to pack up their gear, head into the woods, and chase those legends night after night?

His approach is raw, authentic, and driven by an unshakable passion to separate fact from folklore. Tonight, Mike and I will dig into his wildest adventures, his most compelling evidence, and what it really takes to search for Sasquatch in the unforgiving wild. From New Jersey to the backwoods of Appalachia, Mike has followed the trail of Bigfoot—and tonight, we’re going with him.

Throughout history, curses have been feared, invoked, and even sought after. From ancient Egyptian tombs to the legends of vengeful witches, curses have played a major role in shaping stories, influencing battles, and even altering destinies. But what exactly makes a curse powerful? What kinds of curses exist, and how do they manifest? I’ll be sharing some chilling examples of well-known curses from history, mythology, and even the present day—because, yes, some believe curses are very much still alive today. But this episode isn’t just about fear—it’s about knowledge. In the second half of tonight’s show, I’m going to teach you how to protect yourself from a curse if you ever find yourself under its dark influence. And for the brave among you, I’ll even be walking you through the process of how to cast a curse—whether it’s for personal protection or perhaps... a bit of poetic justice. So, whether you're a skeptic, a curious soul, or someone who’s dabbled in the mystical arts, this episode is for you.

I’m sure that it’s crossed your mind more than once, about what happens to us when our time on this earthly plane is done. I know I certainly have. Do we continue to exist in some form? I’m sure that we do because how else can we explain things like spirits, hauntings, and communication with the dead? Does our soul just wander about in the universe, or does it hang around here on this earthly plane in some sort of other dimension that we can’t see? Well, my guest tonight just might have the answers to those burning questions, and more. His name is Mark Ireland and he is an author, researcher, and co-founder of Helping Parents Heal, an organization providing support to bereaved parents globally. He has actively participated in mediumship research studies conducted by esteemed institutions, including the University of Arizona and the University of Virginia. As a leading figure in the field, he operates a Medium Certification program. Mark is the author of three books, his current one being The Persistence of the Soul: Mediums, Visitations and Afterlife Communication, and he currently resides in Camas, Washington. This book is not merely a collection of personal anecdotes; it's a meticulously researched compilation of scientific experiments conducted to provide irrefutable evidence of the persistence of consciousness. Ireland's own experiment involving a secret message from his deceased sister, Robin, stands as a testament to the reality of afterlife communication. The author counters skeptical arguments with compelling evidence and delves into the intersection of mediumship with diverse religious traditions. Learn more about your ad choices.

Sean Combs, also known as P-Diddy, Puff Daddy, and Diddy, is one of the most successful figures in the entertainment world. As a rapper, producer, businessman, and mogul, he has built an empire that spans music, fashion, media, and alcohol. However, with his rise to fame, Combs has also attracted a significant amount of controversy and, unsurprisingly, conspiracy theories. These range from the bizarre to the seemingly plausible, and they often blend elements of Hollywood culture, power dynamics, and even tragedy. Tonight, I'm diving into some of the major conspiracy theories surrounding Diddy—whether they have any merit, how they spread, and why people are so eager to believe them.

Everybody has a good story to tell. It's especially good whenever that story is spooky, creepy or has a UFO in it. I have a good friend named Jesse who owns a physical media store called Danger Zone Video. Located in Mt. Juliet, TN, it is the premiere physical media store in the Nashville area. Back in November, I brought my podcast gear into Danger Zone Video and sat up shop in his lobby. We posted a Social Media campaign asking for local Nashvillians to come down to the store and tell us their paranormal story for the podcast. We were not disappointed because people showed up with some fantastic stories. From tales of ghostly apparitions on bridges to Native American creatures to tales of being chased through the streets late at night by someone, or something, I've got something for almost everyone. Join me and all of my guests as we take you Into the Danger Zone! I want to say a special thank you to Jesse and Danger Zone Video for hosting this event. I had a great time and I will definitely do this again! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Since late November/early December, New Jersey has found itself at the center of a baffling phenomenon. High-tech, unmanned aerial vehicles—drones—are being spotted all over the state, often in the dead of night, performing seemingly coordinated flights. But it’s not just the drones themselves that are raising questions. It’s their behavior, their patterns, and the eerie sense that something... or someone... is controlling them with a purpose. Who’s behind the New Jersey drone mystery? Are these just some high-tech hobbyists pushing the limits of what's possible in the skies, or is there something more sinister at play? And what do these drones really want? In this episode, I’ll piece together the timeline of strange drone sightings, tell you what the government has to say about it, and explore the growing concerns from locals who have witnessed these aerial intruders up close. Is this a case of cutting-edge technology gone rogue, or is there something much bigger happening right above our heads? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

DUMBs have long been a focal point for conspiracy theorists, primarily due to their secretive nature and the fact that much about their construction, purpose, and operations remains classified. The concept of DUMBs has long been a subject of speculation, with many conspiracy theories claiming that such bases exist in remote areas, sometimes involving extraterrestrial activity, advanced technologies, or even secret government programs. Because these bases are hidden from the public eye, speculation runs rampant about their true functions. Some of the most widely discussed and bizarre theories extend beyond traditional military purposes, involving everything from alien contact to apocalyptic survival plans for the global elite. Tonight, we are going to explore and elaborate on these theories, offering a speculative look at some of the more outlandish claims surrounding DUMBs. Learn more about your ad choices.

UFO observer and reporter Keith Thompson has spent decades researching and investigating UFO encounters and other unknown aerial phenomena.
