If you’re familiar with folklore, you’ve probably heard of the witching hour. In occult terms, it’s apparently that time when witches and demons are at their most powerful. It’s sometimes referred to as “the Devil’s hour.” Creatures such as witches, demons and ghosts are thought to appear and to be at their most powerful. Black magic is thought to be most effective at this time. There’s a lot up for debate when it comes to the lore of the Witching Hour, mainly like what it even is. Some believe it to be the time of night when the veil between life and death is thinnest, allowing spirits and ghosts to travel between two worlds. Others believe that witches and psychics are more powerful at this time of night. A lot of people aren’t even sure what it is, but they know nothing good happens during the Witching Hour. To be honest, I never really thought much about it. It’s more like a thing – a tool that is used to augment paranormal investigation, not an actual tool itself. But is it, though? Should it be treated like a supplement to investigating or should it be treated more like an actual tool? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

One of the most famous and beloved cryptids in all the world is Scotland's Loch Ness Monster. Reports describe a large, long-necked beast like a plesiosaur, yet Nessie has remained curiously elusive to scientific searches. Multiple sonar scans of the loch have come up blank. The legend of the Loch Ness Monster dates back about 1500 years, but it wasn’t until the first reported sightings and infamous “Doctor’s photo” in the 1930s that it began to capture people’s imagination. The Loch Ness monster, or Nessie, has been strangely elusive ever since, and the photo from back then was revealed to have been a toy submarine. Rumors of a strange creature lurking in the murky waters of Loch Ness continue to abound. Recently an international team of scientists led by Dr. Neil Gemmell from the University of Otago in New Zealand has just revealed the first results from an eDNA analysis of the waters of Loch Ness. ​ The results of the Loch Ness survey come after scientists took hundreds of samples of water from Loch Ness and nearby lochs. DNA from each sample was captured, extracted and sequenced. This gave the team 500 million sequences that when compared against global DNA databases show a comprehensive picture of life present in the Loch – the bacteria, the fish, and everything else in between. They may be startling for some and expected for others. Some people may be upset at what the results reveal and some may be saying “I told you so!” But no matter what side you’re on, you have to admit that this was something that really needed to be done and it looks like that we finally have an end to the mystery of what the Loch Ness Monster actually is.

Jeffrey Epstein, the millionaire financier and convicted sex offender, was found dead by suicide in his jail cell on the morning of Saturday, August 10. Epstein was awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges in Manhattan’s Metropolitan Correctional Center. The 66-year-old’s death came less than a day after a trove of disturbing court documents was made public offering details about his alleged abuse of dozens of mostly underage girls, as well who assisted him with or participated in the abuse — documents that implicate many rich and powerful men from the elite circles Epstein was once a member of. In the wake of Jeffrey Epstein’s death, there have been all kinds of conspiracy theories surrounding him, but probably the most popular one is that the convicted sex offender was somehow killed by Bill Clinton. Some of these theories are more credible than others; for instance, there is some evidence that Epstein intended to blackmail his associates. But overall, the circumstances of Epstein’s life and career are essentially tailor-made to produce conspiracy theories. On tonight's show, Eric and I will be taking a deeper look at the conspiracy theories surrounding Jeffrey Epstein and attempt to break them down even further. Turn On, Tune In & Find Out!

The Moon and conspiracy theories go together like Buzz Armstrong and punching moon conspiracy theorists in the face. From the moment the Apollo 11 mission touched down on the lunar surface 50 years ago and Neil Armstrong delivered his “One small step for man” line there have been mutterings that the entire thing was staged in a TV studio. One certain Moon conspiracy, however, can claim bragging rights over all others. That’s the one in which during the final months of WWII, the Nazis somehow made it to the Moon before anyone else, without the knowledge of anyone else or without being detected by anyone else. There, on the dark side of the Moon they constructed a vast Bond-villain style lair. Nazis on the Moon is, as far as conspiracy theories go, one of the wildest and most unbelievable. However there are a few people out there who actually believe this wild theory and, in fact, say that there’s proof. And that’s what we’re going to explore tonight on ParaReality Radio.

The moon is often described as having divine, feminine energy – the female counterpart to our Sun. It is a source of cosmic phenomena, providing us with beautiful eclipses, changing tides, and hopefully a future staging point for missions to Mars and beyond. But In one of the most striking of cosmic coincidences, the Moon is about 400 times smaller than the Sun, and is also about 400 times closer to the Earth. This fact makes both these heavenly bodies appear to be of the same size, and also results in the phenomenon of total solar eclipses taking place. And when we start to look at the moon under a closer lens, a number of aberrant characteristics suggest that it might be hollow — and that there may be a secret moon base.

Ever since NASA broadcast its visits to the Moon between 1969 and 1972 to millions of people around the world, conspiracy theorists have debated endlessly over the photographs and video of the journey. Judging by the dedication some have to the cause, the subject of whether or not the Moon landings were a hoax rivals only the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and the presence of Are 51 in popularity. The Fox News Network even aired a TV special in 2001, nearly 30 years after the last Apollo mission, titled “Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon”? Poring over every single detail for inconsistencies and potential government tampering, people who buy into the Moon landing conspiracy theory strive to prove that NASA never went to the moon. Instead, they believe that NASA filmed a series of fake Moon landings in a studio, complete with props, astronaut costumes and intricate lighting setups. But why would NASA and the US Government pull off such a strange stunt? The Moon landings took place during the Cold War and a tense point in the nuclear arms race, an ear in which the two world superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, competed for technological superiority. Some believe that because sending astronauts into outer space and onto the moon would be incredibly expensive, the US didn’t have enough money to complete the project. According to the conspiracy theorists, faking the Moon landings would be much cheaper – if it were convincing enough, it could still send a message to Russia that the United States had the better technology.

Tonight I’m interviewing a family whose members have had some varying paranormal experiences. I call this family the Paranormal family. The process of this interview began with a phone call several months ago from family member Jason. He’s a longtime listener of the podcast and he left a message on the studio line about his paranormal experience. As you all know, I love to interview the normal, everyday person about their experiences, so I contacted Jason and after a few phone conversations, text messages and emails, we finally worked out a date where I could interview Jason. As it turns out, there's been more than one member of his family who've had similar experiences. As it turns out his family has encountered ghosts, spirits, poltergeists, UFOs and a few other unexplainable things. Is this a family who is prone to paranormal experiences? Or, is it all just a conicidence? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Resting in Mount Fuji's shadow is the Aokigahara Forest, the world's second most popular suicide location. Called “the perfect place to die,” the Aokigahara forest in Japan has the unfortunate distinction of being the world’s second most popular place to die by suicide. Since the 1950s, Japanese men, women and teenagers have wandered in, and so many of them haven’t come out that the Japanese government has stopped releasing the data. Second in suicides behind only the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, the Aokigahara Forest is a beautiful but deadly place that is said to be haunted with demons and the tortured souls of those who have taken their lives there.

The southeastern state of Tennessee is the birthplace of bluegrass music, Mountain Dew soda, miniature golf, the tow truck, and Jack Daniels Whiskey. It’s tied with Missouri as the state that borders the most other states (eight). It’s also the 36th largest state, but the 16th most populated. Famous Tennesseans include singers Johnny Cash, Aretha Franklin and Tina Turner, actor Morgan Freeman, director Quentin Tarantino, former vice president Al Gore, TV mogul Oprah Winfrey, and pro wrestling legend Ric Flair. Oak Ridge, Tennessee, was established in the 1940s as part of the Manhattan Project that produced the first atomic bomb. This 440-mile-long state features forests, plains, lakes, rivers, and mountains. Tennessee is rich with history and much of that history is dark. Tennessee not only has its share of cryptids (as discussed on the last episode) but it also is home to many other ghosts and spirits. Some of them are angry spirits. Some of them are sad spirits and we don't even know why some of them stick around. Nonetheless, the state is full of them. On this episode of ParaReality Radio, I'll be taking a look at some of Tennessee's most famous, or infamous, haunted locations by giving you a countdown of my top 10 haunted locations in the state.

Every state here in the US has an unusual part of its history. It seems that, even though the US is young by comparison to the rest of the world, there are plenty of paranormal stories to go around. Just because the US wasn’t officially “discovered” until 1492, let’s not forget that the continent was around for centuries and is really just as old as everywhere else on Earth. That means that it’s had plenty of time to be the home of some very unusual and scary creatures. Many of them are located right here in the good old South.

The fire that destroyed the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris on April 15, 2019 was truly a tragedy on a global scale. Millions of people across the world began to pour out sympathy for Parisians, sadness at the loss of the historic landmark, and, inevitably, holiday photos snapped while visiting the iconic building. But among the sympathetic messages posted about Notre Dame Cathedral came another type of post – fake news, misinformation, and conspiracy theories about what caused the fire. As with most major tragedies in the last decade, misinformation about Notre Dame began to spread almost immediately. Within a matter of hours, conspiracy theories were flourishing online. What we know about the Notre Dame fire at this point is limited. And as the blaze only abated roughly twelve hours ago, it will likely take days until we have a clearer picture. However, we can say unequivocally that any claims around arson, foul play, or racist plots are entirely baseless and unverified. But as long as the internet provides a climate for conspiracy theories to flourish, these false stories will continue to take hold. I urge you not to fall victim to these rumors and wait until we have more information before you form an opinion about the fire. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Our world is filled with mystery and fascinating legends and stories that up until this day, still cannot be explained. Scientist, explorers and Archeologists alike continue to be astonished by how objects and certain natural phenomena have occurred and just so happen to make their way on our planet without any written history to back it up. Archeologists have found secret tunnels in parts of Europe that still are a mystery to top historians who still question what they were really used for. In Costa Rica, there are over 300 perfectly rounded spheres that are commonly attributed to the Diquis culture but still remain a great unsolved archeological mystery. Let's also mention the Copper Scroll Treasure which is part of the Dead Sea Scroll, which apparently reveals the location of lost temple treasures that are yet to be found. These unsolved findings and more are what make our world that much more perplexing. On tonight's episode, I'll be counting down my top 15 mysterious findings on earth that believe it or not, even the best scientist cannot explain, even with today's highly advanced technology. Were the people living in ancient civilizations more high-tech than we believed? And is there really a dinosaur-like creature living in the depths of the waters of the Scottish Highlands? These mysterious findings and legends continue to baffle us to this day and we might not ever understand how they came about. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Monsanto has become the world leader in genetic engineering of seeds, winning 674 biotechnology patents, which is more than any other company. If you are a farmer who buys its Roundup Ready seeds, you are required to sign an agreement promising not to save the seed produced after each harvest for re-planting. You are also prohibited from selling the seed to other farmers. In short, you must buy new seeds every year. Monsanto is your typical long-standing super corporation: Incredibly intelligent, incredibly rich, and incredibly fucked. One of their most notorious product creations was a chemical by the name of ‘Agent Orange’, which was used for chemical warfare in Vietnam—killing and disfiguring what is estimated to be millions of Vietnamese people. For thousands of years, farmers have saved seeds from one farming season to another. But when Monsanto developed genetically modified (GM) seeds that would resist its own herbicide, the glyphosate-based Roundup, it patented the seeds. The United States Patent and Trademark Office, for practically all of its history, refused to grant patents on seeds, viewing them as life forms with too many variables to be patented. However, in 1980, the U.S. Supreme Court allowed for seed patents in a 5-4 decision. This laid the groundwork for plenty of corporations to start gaining control of global food supply. The patenting of seeds is only one of the different ways that Monsanto affects food, farming, and your future health. This episode will take a look at how Monsanto is basically ruining not only the way that farmers farm, but also the way it is slowly destroying our chances of having a healthy diet.Turn On, Tune In & Find Out!

Late last year, the two major online sites for reporting UFOs - MUFON and The National UFO Reporting Center - both documented steep drops in worldwide UFO sightings. The decline started around 2014, when reports were at a peak. They have since reduced drastically, to 55% of 2014's total. Many UFO interest groups have folded and numerous previously classified government documents have been disclosed. In 2014 global UFO sighting totaled 8,670, but the latest numbers, which are current up to June, 2018, show global sightings are only 1,329. While both MUFON and NUFROC take online reports of sightings, MUFON field investigators investigate reports and attempt to filter out hoaxes, mistakes and objects that can be identified. MUFON winds up clearing out about half of the reports that people submit. Do these declines reveal that interest in UFOs is becoming nothing more than a blip of the human cultural radar? Perhaps UFO and alien lore is seeming more like a reflection of human culture, tied to the space age, motivated by conquering new existential frontiers. Possible answers as to why sightings are decreasing are varied. A key factor may be that people simply just don't care anymore. There are also those who believe that the culture around alien investigations has shifted to focus on exopolitical conspiracies instead of what's in the sky. In my opinion, the idea of conspiracies have infiltrated and warped the idea of actually investigating UFOs. Maybe our time for sighting UFOs is up. Maybe the aliens have learned all they can from us, or maybe their experiments are over, or maybe they have simply lost interest in us. Or maybe, just maybe, people are using the internet as their means of reporting sightings these days instead of turning to those "official organizations." That's my theory, anyway. While reporting may be on the decline, I believe that the sightings are not. We're still being visited and our anuses are still being probed. We're just using other means of reporting it these days.

Hollywood stars, watch your back: there's a secret group of unknown people who out to get you -- that is, if you believe Randy and Evi Quaid. The Oscar-nominated actor and his wife fled to Canada, claiming they feared for their lives. The supposed clan they're dodging seems like something more appropriate for a B-level horror movie than real life - a group called the "Hollywood Star Whackers," who the Quaids claim murdered actors Heath Ledger and David Carradine."Hollywood is murdering its movie stars," Evi Quaid said. "Randy has known eight close friends murdered in odd, strange manners. We feel that we're next." No one else in Hollywood appears to have ever talked about a group called the Hollywood star whackers. Are they actually real? If so, what is their aim and what, exactly, do they want?

Bladenboro is a small community surrounded by pine forests and swamps at the southeastern edge of the North Carolina piedmont. It was also the setting for the greatest monster flap North Carolina has ever seen. On December 29, 1953 a local farmer reported a large, cat-like creature had attacked one of his dogs and dragged it into the underbrush. On New Year's Eve two more dog carcasses, reportedly completely drained of blood, were found. The next day, two more dogs were attacked. Residents reported seeing an animal "Like a bear or a panther" that was "three feet long, twenty inches high, with a long tail and a cat's face." Police Chief Roy Fores organized a hunt for the beast in the swamps, but came up empty handed. It was when Mayor W.G. Fussell called the papers that things really took off. Fussell, who also owned the local theater, was later quoted in a 1958 edition of the Carolina Farmer magazine as saying "A little publicity never hurt a small town." Bladenboro certainly got its publicity. Hitting the papers in the slow news week after Christmas, the Vampire Beast of Bladenboro gained an unusually large amount of attention. Hunters from as far way as Tennessee descended on the small town to see if they could get a shot at the beast. Newspapers from Arizona to New York ran coverage of the hunt for the creature. The town was engulfed in chaos, with men with guns walking through the forest shooting at anything that moved. Deciding that things were getting too dangerous, Mayor Fussell and Chief Fores called an end to the hunt, taking an unusually large bobcat that had been killed by one of the hunters and running it up a flagpole in the center of town. They posted a sign underneath stating "This is the Beast of Bladenboro." After a week or so, things settled back to normal. In 2008, the History Channel television series Monster Quest devoted an entire episode to the Bladenboro Beast because the attacks had seemingly started again. Their experts performed an analysis of the evidence and concluded that the attacker might have been a cougar. While this is entirely plausible, a deeper look into the 1953 incidents reveals another answer to what, or who, was behind the attacks. To learn more, you'll need to:​ Turn On, Tune In & Find Out!

Paranormal reality shows are all over our TVs these days and have been for over a decade. Their popularity doesn't seem to be waning; in fact, it seems that they're more popular than ever. That has to be a good thing for the field of paranormal investigation, right?Don't be so fast to say yes. It seems that the serious shows that wanted to bring credibility to paranormal investigating and show the science behind it are on the way out and a new era is being ushered in. This new era of paranormal "reality" TV is now full of quasi-scripted shows with fake experts, fake witnesses and fake witnesses. Instead of trying to gain credibility for the industry and show that there is scientific evidence for the paranormal, it is focused on making as much money as possible. This is causing a major setback in the field of paranormal investigating and it's credibility is in serious danger.

Genetically modified organisms (GMO’s) are a broad group of plants, animals, and bacteria that are engineered for a wide variety of applications ranging from agricultural production to scientific research. The types of potential hazards posed by GMO’s vary according to the type of organism being modified and its intended application. Most of the concern surrounding GMO’s relates to their potential for negative effects on the environment and human health. Because GMO’s that could directly effect human health are primarily products that can enter the human food supply, this website focuses on genetically modified food. To date, the only types of products that have been approved for human consumption in the U.S. are genetically modified plants. All genetically modified foods that have been approved are considered by the government to be as safe as their traditional counterparts and are generally unregulated. However, there are several types of potential health effects that could result from the insertion of a novel gene into an organism. Health effects of primary concern to safety assessors are production of new allergens, increased toxicity, decreased nutrition, and antibiotic resistance. ​ Learn more about your ad choices.

Several weeks ago I was approached by frequent guest and friend of ParaReality Radio, John Harrison about an idea that he had for the show. John is not only an interesting guest, but he's also a hell of an intelligent person as well, so when he says that he has an idea for the show, it piqued my interest. "This is kinda unusual," he said, "but hear me out." His idea was for him to interview me. On my own show, none-the-less! "I like it," I said. "How did you come up with this idea?" After all, I've been interviewed several times before, but never has it been on my own show. It turns out that the idea came from a question that he had asked me about politics. He wanted to know if I felt like I had an obligation to my fans to talk about the conspiracy theories surrounding the election that Donald Trump was touting. I had replied that I did love to talk about conspiracy theories, but that the format of the show didn't concern itself with politics. I further stated that I didn't want to turn the show into a political one. He said that he understood, but asked me a few more questions about any obligations that I felt that I owed the fans. I answered his questions and once again stated that I wasn't going to discuss politics on ParaReality Radio. This conversation actually made him wonder how I got into doing all of this paranormal talk stuff in the first place. He said that he realized that he didn't know that much about my background, despite the fact that we had become good friends over the past couple of years. He thought that the fans of the show might want to know a little more about me, too, so he decided to turn the tables on me and interview me on my own show. Of course, that completely depended on me going along with the whole thing. If you've been a fan of ParaReality Radio for a long time, you'll know my story by now. However, if you've only recently started listening to the show, you might not know why I do what I do. Now is your chance to find out.

This month, on August the 16th, the world will mourn the death of the King of Rock-N-Roll, Elvis Presley. It’s been 39 years since he died, yet people continue to say that they have spotted him all over the globe. Elvis Presley died on August 16, 1977 in the bathroom of his Graceland mansion in Memphis, Tennessee. He was 42 at the time of death. He had been on the toilet, but fallen off onto the floor, where he lay in a pool of his own vomit. Panicked, his staff contacted an ambulance, which rushed him to nearby Baptist Memorial Hospital, where, after several attempts to revive him, he died at 3:30 pm CST. His autopsy was performed at 7:00 pm. The official coroner's report lists "cardiac arrhythmia" as the cause of Presley's death, but this was later admitted to be a ruse entered into by the Presley family along with autopsy physicians Dr. Jerry T. Francisco, Dr. Eric Muirhead and Dr. Noel Florredo to cover up the real cause of death, a cocktail of ten prescribed drugs, taken in doses no doctor would prescribe. The phrase "cardiac arrhythmia," in the context of the coroner's report, means little more than a stopped heart; the report initially tried to attribute the arrhythmia to cardiovascular disease, but Elvis' own personal physician has stated that Presley had no such chronic problems at the time. Most of Elvis' many health problems can and have been traced back to rampant abuse of prescription drugs. Though it certainly seems like prescription drugs combined with a poor diet and overall unhealthy lifestyle caused his untimely demise, there continues to be, to this very day, many conspiracies surrounding his death. Did Elvis really die or did he fake his own death for some nefarious reason? On this episode of ParaReality Radio, I’ll be taking a look at the top 5 wildest conspiracy theories surrounding the death of Elvis Presley. Learn more about your ad choices.

July marks the 69th anniversary of the Roswell UFO incident, the most famous UFO event in history and the one that sparked the UFO phenomenon in the United States. Was this really the crash site of an extraterrestrial craft or a simple misidentification of the debris by Lt. Marcel, the first US Army officer on the scene? Maybe it wasn't either one of these. Maybe the UFO story was a government cover-up to hide what was, in fact, a secret spy project.On this half-hour special, I'll be taking a brief look at the Roswell incident and discuss all of the above theories.Turn On, Tune In & Find Out!

When the average Joe phones in to claim that he has witnessed a UFO, we probably hear little about it. When a world renowned celebrity tells the world that he has seen something unusual, everyone pays attention. Headlines in magazines and newspapers will be written and interviews conducted by the most straight-faced journalist for the job. It can’t be easy for anyone to speak up and make a UFO claim, let alone someone whose income depends largely upon people buying their work. But in recent years there has been an increasing number of celebrities who have been willing to risk their public reputation due to sure faith in what they have seen. It could be that the aliens are amassing and are ready to introduce themselves to more of us. Or it could simply be that there are unidentified flying objects and that is all. They may not have any alien connection. When Larry King conducted a survey on his show a few years ago, 86 percent of people said that they believed in aliens. This is definitely not a scientifically sound study, but it does suggest that many of us are open to the possibility that we are not alone in this big wide universe of ours. On this episode of ParaReality Radio, I'll be relating some stories of a handful of celebrities and their UFO sightings. Some of them are living, others are dead. Some are actors, some are musicians and others are politicians. Despite the differences in their backgrounds they all share two things in common. All are celebrities and all of them saw an unidentified object flying in the sky. These are their stories. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On Sunday (September 27, 2015) Earth's shadow will begin to dim the "supermoon" slightly, beginning at 8.11 p.m. EDT. U.S. and much of the world, a total lunar eclipse will mask the moon's larger-than-life face for more than an hour. The result: a so-called "blood moon" that some in religious circles are suggesting will signal an end of the world type of event -- a doomsday. The Blood Moon Prophecy is a hypothesis proposed by some Christian ministers, such as John Hagee and Mark Biltz, which states that an ongoing tetrad (a series of four consecutive lunar eclipses—coinciding on Jewish holidays—with six full moons in between, and no intervening partial lunar eclipses) which began with the April 2014 lunar eclipse is a sign of the end times as described in the Bible in Acts 2:20 and Revelation 6:12. The idea of a "blood moon" serving as an omen of the coming of the end times comes from the Book of Joel, where it is written "the sun will turn into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes." This phrase is again mentioned by Saint Peter during Pentecost, as recorded in Acts, although Peter says that date, not some future date, was the fulfillment of Joel's prophecy. The blood moon also appears in the book of Revelation chapter 6 verses 11 - 13, where verse 12 says " And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood". Will the world end in just a few short days, after the 4th Blood Moon? Well, before you jump to any hasty conclusions, let me tell you about the Blood Moon Prophecy. Then you can make up your mind.

There are numerous rugged areas of relative wilderness across the area composed of the southwest corner of Missouri, northwest corner of Arkansas and northeast corner of Oklahoma. For generations residents of this region have reported seeing — and far more often hearing — a strange creature that has come to be known by the name of Ozark howler. It is described as being about the size of a bear with thick body, stocky legs, black shaggy hair, and sometimes as having horns or looking like a very large cat. Its cry is often described as being a combination of a wolf's howl and an elk's bugle.Some attribute the sightings to the presence of an escaped big cat in the mountains, but others say something more is behind them. Eyewitnesses have come forward claiming to have seen a mysterious cat-like monster in the Ozarks, a creature unlike anything they had ever seen before. There are also those who say the whole thing is a hoax.Is the Ozark Howler a hoax? The answer to that question is a definite combination of yes and no. Some people have undoubtedly been involved in spreading false stories on a large scale. On the other hand, stories of big cats loose in the Ozarks have been part of Arkansas woods lore for many years.Myth, real or hoax? That’s what I’m going to be discussing here tonight, on ParaReality Radio. I’ll present the evidence and let you decide! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp or the Lizard Man of Lee County is said to be a seven foot tall creature that has three toes on each foot and three toes on each hand. Its head is said to look very much like an alien grey. The Lizard Man has been reported all around Lee County South Carolina, in Colombia South Carolina and in the swampy area between Charleston South Carolina and Folly Beach South Carolina. It is supposed to be a reptilian humanoid creature said to walk upright like a man and it has been reported to kill and feed on dogs, cats, and wildlife in the area. Several people over the years have reported seeing the creature feeding on road killed deer and other road killed animals. The cryptozoological creature is seen most often in the swampland of Lee County in and around Bishopville South Carolina. The creature is said to be a mixture of human features and dinosaur features. It is said to be covered with green scales all over its whole body. People who have seen it says that its hands and feet have suction pads that it can use to climb much like a gecko lizard. Many theories have been presented in relation to the identity of Lizard men, theories such as living dinosaurs, and even offshoots of evolution in which the reptilian hierarchy continued to evolve along the same path as early primates. At one point in time reptiles ruled the earth, it is not out of the realm of possibility that the most dominate species on the planet could continue to evolve in small numbers unseen by mankind. Although no reptilian species known to man have shown signs of such advanced evolution, the reptile is the oldest and most successful species on the planet and could hold secrets that have yet to come to light.

On tonight's episode of ParaReality Radio I'll be interviewing Trish Lesage. She is an energy healer of The Violet Flame (a healing technique that is a combination of visualization and energy healing), and she has used Self-Hypnosis and Past Life Regression for years. She is also a best selling author and a writer of magazine articles on metaphysics, parallel universes (alternate realities), ascension to higher consciousness, and body-mind-spirit topics. Her articles have been published in magazines such as Sedona Journal of Emergence; The Magical Times; and Watkins Mind, Body, Spirit which are distributed at Barnes & Noble bookstores and at other locations worldwide. She has written four books which became best sellers upon publication, including: "Manifesting Success In Relationships, Career, and Business Via Numerology", "Meditations For Past Lives, Starseeds, Soul Mates, and Beyond", "How To Achieve Fifth Dimension Consciousness", and "Traveling To Parallel Universes". As a result of the shift to higher consciousness that is currently taking place, many people are beginning to experience their true multidimensional nature, and they are beginning to realize that there is more to life than the physical world that we live in. As a result of this, more and more people are experiencing reality shifts such as objects disappearing and reappearing, teleportation, bilocation, and even the phenomenon of crossing over into alternate realities. They are also seeking out alternative forms of healing themselves when conventional medicine doesn't work. Join me as Trish and I discuss parallel universes, past lives, and quantum travel. She will also tell us about the Violet Flame and how she uses it to help others. More information about her work is available on her website at http://www.beyond3dbooks.com.

In April, 2014, I had a guest on the show, John Harrison, who is a scientist and confirmed skeptic. We had a very friendly debate about the paranormal that was somewhat heated at times. This episode turned out to be a fan favorite and was the third-highest rated show of all last season. Of course, that means that I had to have Mr. Harrison back for what I hope to be an annual event: Skeptic's Night! John Harrison is a man who uses science to explain many, if not all, of life's mysteries and events. He has earned degrees in Biology and Chemistry from the University of South Alabama in Mobile, AL and has even earned a nursing degree. He has worked as a Biologist and Chemist for several pharmaceutical companies and currently works as a Registered Nurse in Nashville, TN. On tonight's episode of ParaReality Radio Mr. Harrison and I will discuss some controversial topics, including chemtrails, cryptids and ancient aliens. Mr. Harrison will also discuss his "Rich Theory of Conspiracies" and explain to us how it can be used to determine if a conspiracy theory is real or not. This is a truly fascinating interview that you will not want to miss. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Project Aquarius Contains 16 volumes of documented information collected from the beginning of the United States Investigation of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) and Identified Alien Crafts (IAC). The Project was originally established in 1953, by order of President Eisenhower, under control of NSC and MJ12. In 1966, the Project's name was changed from Project Gleem to Project Aquarius. The Project was funded by CIA confidential funds and was originally classified SECRET but was upgraded to Top Secret in Dec. 1969 after Project Blue Book closed. The purpose of Project Aquarius was to collect all scientific, technological, medical, and intelligence information from UFO/IAC sightings, and contacts with Alien life forms. UFO researcher William L. Moore claimed that he received the document from U.S. government agents in February, 1981, and that the report as we know it is a "retyped" (changed) version of an original message Moore had been shown earlier. The question that has to be asked is, "Is this a real document?" I will answer that question on this episode of ParaReality Radio as well as provide you with some interesting information as to why this document was created and who it was created for.Turn On, Tune In & Find Out!

If you've listened to this show for even just a small amount of time, you'll know that I'm a huge Chemtrail theorist. I've done more than one episode about them and I even devoted an episode of my short-lived internet TV show about them. I've even had a mysterious caller, who calls himself "Citizen X", leave a message to me about them on my studio line! Just exactly what are Chemtrails? Are they some sort of government inoculation program? Could it be some form of population control? Maybe it has something to do with the weather and global warming? Who is behind Chemtrail spraying? The government? The Bilderberg Group? Illuminati? Or is it some private organization? How can we protect ourselves from the effects of Chemtrails? What ARE the effects, anyway? I'll answer all these questions on this episode of ParaReality Radio, plus, I'll be debuting a new segment on the show that I call "Sandman Speaks", where I'll give my personal opinion on this episode's topic.

The world is a big place. It's been around for a long time, too. There are things here that we don't understand. Some of them have been around for a very long time, and some of them are kind of new. That means there's a lot of mysteries out there. As long as mankind has been around, we have sought answers to those things that we don't understand. This episode of ParaReality Radio is about just 10 of those things. This is a very short list compared to everything that we, as of yet, don't have the answers to. I can't possibly list them all and your top 10 list may differ from mine, but I guarantee that you have at least 2 or 3 of these things on your list. So join me, as I count down from 10 to 1 and give you the details of my Top 10 Unsolved Mysteries of the World! Turn On, Tune In & Find Out! Learn more about your ad choices.

Since its inception, thousands of years ago, the Christian religion has convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of the day. The invisible man has a special list of 10 things he does not want you to do. If you do any of these 10 things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever, until the end of time! But He loves you. He loves you very much and He also needs your money! He always need money. He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, all-wise, yet, somehow, he just can't figure out his own finances, or earn his own living! The Christian religion takes in billions of dollars, they pay no taxes and they always need a little more. Funny how that works. We have been mislead away from the true and diving presence in the universe that men have called God. I don't know what God is, but I know what He isn't. Until we are prepared to look at the whole truth, wherever it may lead us, whoever it may lead us to, we will never fully understand what it is that we are really dealing with. If you want to look the other way or play favorites when it comes to religion, then somewhere along the line you're going to find out that you're messing with divine justice. The more you educate yourself, the more you understand where things come from, the more obvious things become and you begin to see lies everywhere when it comes to the religious institution. This episode of ParaReality Radio isn't about bashing God, what He stands for or anyone religious preferences. This is about taking a look at Christianity as a whole, and exposing its origins, background and how it has come to be a bastardized version of what it originally was. This is a very controversial topic that, no doubt, will offend some people but its purpose isn't meant to offend, it's meant to make you stop, think a minute and take a look at the bigger picture of what Christianity really is and how it came to be what it is today.

The Voynich Manuscript has been dubbed "The Most Mysterious Manuscript in the World". It is considered a Manuscript codex and dates to the early 15th century, possibly created in northern Italy. It is named after the book dealer Wilfrid Voynich, who purchased it in 1912. Some pages are missing, but there are now about 240 vellum pages, most with illustrations.Much of the manuscript resembles herbal manuscripts of the 1500s, seeming to present illustrations and information about plants and their possible uses for medical purposes. However, most of the plants do not match known species, and the manuscript's script and language remain unknown. Possibly some form of encrypted ciphertext, the Voynich manuscript has been studied by many professional and amateur cryptographers, including American and British codebreakers from both World War I and World War II. It has defied all decipherment attempts, becoming a famous case of historical cryptology. The mystery surrounding it has excited the popular imagination, making the manuscript a subject of both fanciful theories and novels. None of the many speculative solutions proposed over the last hundred years has yet been independently verified. The Voynich manuscript was donated to Yale University's Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library in 1969, where it is catalogued under call number MS 408 and called a "Cipher Manuscript". We will never fully understand all of the messages - some easy to discern while others resemble allegory making them subjective to the reader. Many of the images follow basic iconography found in other ancient texts. The history of the manuscript takes us to alchemy, creation, and the way the world appeared to the author hundreds of year ago. I believe one man wrote the book over many years, if not decades, to explain his theory of the way the universe works, as well as being used as a healing tool - all of which still remain the fundamental foundations to answers we seek in the twenty-first century. The secrecy and cryptic aspects make it fascinating. Wherever your journey is taking you, there will be some message in the book. Turn On, Tune In & Find Out! Learn more about your ad choices.
