Sun Ghosts & Emotional Rocks

Tweet tweet, weirdos!   This is a bird show now! Just kidding.  Kind of.  Welcome to Keep It Bird the podcast about all things feathered and beaked, squawking and flapping, and everything that has plumage that chirps or clucks!    Nah, we're still the podcast for all things strange and unusual and this week we are getting to the bottom of ALL THINGS PARANORMAL!! That's right-- we're answering every question we've ever asked on this show because it turns out the supernatural is as natural as can be.   Lauren starts us off by going DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE and exploring the nature of our very own star.  Not only did the sun create our planet but it provides our planet with energy, influences our climate and weather patterns, can mess with our technology and can even rewire our BRAINS!! AND DONT EVEN GET HER STARTED ON THE ROCKS!   Ashley swoops in (bird reference) with a WHERE IN THE WORLD as we travel to America's creepiest playground-- APPALACHIA!  The Appalachian Mountains are some of the oldest mountains on the entire planet-- predating trees, dinosaurs and even BONES.  It's no wonder it's full of ghosts, cryptids, witches and UFOs!    We did a TON of research this week so CHECK THE LINKS BELOW if you want to do some more reading on today's topics.   FOLLOW US on social media @keepitweirdcast   SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube Channel youtube.com/keepitweirdpodcast RATE US on iTunes and Spotify   JOIN OUR PATREON at patreon.com/keepitweirdpodcast and you'll get BONUS EPISODES every month, discounts on merch and free tarot card readings!   Also don't forget to check out the FULL DIVINATION EPISODE if you want to hear all of the tarot readings we did this month for our lovely listeners.   FROM THE SUN TO SINBAD https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-59633-z   https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-migrating-birds-use-quantum-effects-to-navigate/   https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/did-you-know-general-science/story-behind-21-grams   https://www.cuyamungueinstitute.com/articles-and-news/rhythmic-sound-trance-states-and-the-brain/   https://www.biotonomy.com/post/how-electromagnetic-pollution-in-buildings-effect-our-wellbeing   SPOOKY MOUNTAIN HIGH https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/649146/appalachian-mountains-facts   https://www.thewanderingappalachian.com/post/legends-and-folklore-uncovering-appalachian-myths-and-mysteries   https://gotmountainlife.com/6-mysterious-creatures/   https://www.worldhistory.org/article/2560/tsulkalu-the-slant-eyed-giant/#:~:text=Tsul'k%C4%83l%C3%BB'%2C%20The%20Slant%2DEyed%20Giant%20is%20a,and%20power%20could%20be%20felt.   https://criticalcountry.medium.com/the-mysterious-brown-mountain-lights-fba405425dd3   https://allthatsinteresting.com/moon-eyed-people   https://folklife.si.edu/magazine/appalachian-folk-magic   https://oasis.library.unlv.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=5992&context=thesesdissertations   https://columbusfreepress.com/article/ohio-against-universe-50th-anniversary-ufo-wave-during-halloween-1973   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascagoula_Abduction
