There are lots of stories about psychic surgeons - often they are proven fakes who use chicken entrails to simulate bloody surgery, promising to cure diseases that mainstream doctors have been unable to treat effectively.

When strange noises began bothering the folk of this small military town nobody could have predicted the havoc that would ensue. From UFO sightings to poltergeist-like activity, Warminster became one of the most visited paranormal destinations in the UK - but, was it real or did one man play a part in creating a flap about nothing? As always, the t…

In 1950 Nobel Prize winner Enrico Fermi asked the question "where are all the aliens?". It sparked huge debate as to why we have not encountered advanced extra terrestrial life, and theories that we are alone in the universe. We look into those arguments, and discover the 'Fermi Paradox' is not a paradox and has very little to do with Enrico Fermi.…

We spent the night in one of the world's most haunted prisons. We were not expecting anything spooky. But as you will hear, about half way through, in terms of the paranormal it all kicked off! Ghost sightings, music boxes going off, EVPs and thrown objects. We really don't know what to make of it. If you would like to help us make more field trips…

We delve into a case a mass possession, that ripped an idilic French town apart and resulted in the trial and execution of a seemingly innocent man.โดย thequantummechanics

From the hippy times of the 1960's, a new thinking about plant consciousness emerged - perhaps the humble onion could actually think for itself? It sounds bizarre, but even the CIA was interested in the spying abilities of the humble houseplant. This week we look at how this thinking gave us cybernetics, several horror movies and a modern scientist…

When 'The Man' was published as a dream experiment, the image gained much interest. We look at the similarities between this phenomenon and Indrid Cold, and conduct our own remote viewing experiment. Do we see evil faces in our minds as side effect of a psychological function, or is there more going on? We attempt to find out. Make US grin by joini…

In 1986 two smartly dressed men attacked newscaster Dan Rather, shouting at him "Kenneth, what's the frequency?". The story that followed saw the incident featured in literature, art and music.

Tiny drones, small machines and an infamous ball all appear this week - as does a scientific look at some strange material found in the ocean, verified by academic sources. For more paranormal shenanigans join us a…

We begin by examining the beliefs of the Hopi people, where we realise that the warnings given to them by the Ant People sound very like the messages given to contactees in the latter part of the 20th century. Is there a pro-human agenda amongst our celestial cousins, or is something much darker keeping itself veiled? Where we end up is, once again…

Study after study seem to suggest that humans and other animals, have levels of ESP, and some kind of collective consciousness. So why doesn't science take it more seriously?

Historical UFO sightings were often controlled by the Church, but as newspapers began to invent journalism the reports became more reliable. Maybe.

Stories of folk encountering people and places from the past are more common than you might first imagine, but what could cause this phenomenon?

The Sonora Aero Club may not have existed, but if their documented fuel system could be true - does that make the story more believable?

We know that some music is haunting, but can it be haunted? We look at songs that many believe are cursed. A Frank Sinatra classic that, when sung badly, can result in an early death. A band who mixed two emotional songs together creating one track that had tragic consequences. And two legends of music who claimed they sold their soul to the devil …

A unique experiment to determine the truth about a number of earthly mysteries pointed a particularly dark finger at one of our most perplexing phenomenon - that of cattle mutilations.
