10 | Haunted Dolls and Simulation Theories

This week, we’re making fun of people who are smarter than us about simulation theory, and grousing about the art of summoning dollars from dread. Also, when it comes to a mysterious pulsing star, we’re reminded that when you can’t rule anything out, that includes aliens. Here’s the beats: * A better breakdown of why we’re on Substack (hint: it makes it easier to email us) * A listener story about a miracle healing * The real ones are anti-cringe * Tom’s essay on the Gospel of Thomas is our first official GGU library entry * A NASA scientist spent 1,500 hours investigating unexplained pulses from a distant star (and still has no idea what it is) * Melvin Vopson thinks gravity itself might suggest we're living in a simulation * Is this just ancient mysticism dressed up in modern physics language? * Jordan argues simulation theory is not only unfalsifiable, it’s used to dehumanize people as "NPCs" * How we keep explaining the universe through our latest technology * An infamous haunted doll sells tickets * Unsettling antique store encounters with genuinely unsettling items * How selling fear undermines authentic spiritual connection * A listener review For best results, hit us up at godsghostsufos.com *** SpectreVision Radio is a bespoke podcast network at the intersection between the arts and the uncanny, featuring a tapestry of shows exploring creativity, the esoteric, and the unknown.
