The story centres on Betty Andreasson, an American woman who, in 1967, claimed to have experienced an encounter with extra-terrestrial beings; succumbing to multiple tests and observations aboard their alien spacecraft. The tale is truly terrifying, if it is indeed true, as many sceptics have attempted to discredit her version of events; similar to the scrutiny suffered by Betty and Barney Hill in 1961, who were also the subject of an alien abduction. From the arrival of the beings at her house, to the abduction and operations conducted on Betty and ultimate reflection through hypnosis, this is a story you don’t want to miss. In 1979, Raymond Fowler wrote the first of four books discussing what became known as the "Andreasson Affair" , which has kept it at the forefront of UFO and conspiracy theory groups. So, what really happened that night in 1967?Support the showSupport us on PatreonConsider leaving us a review on your preferred podcast platform, it really helps!Check our our videos on YouTubeGot any questions? email us at: [email protected] for listening and stay spooky!

When it comes to the great debate surrounding claims of extra-terrestrial beings existing in the vast arena of space – or indeed closer to home (here on Earth) – the race to identify, communicate and disclose the secret that has plagued humanity for millennia takes centre stage. Global superpowers such as The United States, Russia and The United Kingdom focus their attention on satellite navigation, radar technology and the exploration of the nearby cosmos in the hope that something, somewhere is found. China; one of the world’s leading imperiums, is conducting its own investigations and laying claim to the existence of alien beings across the astronomical plane. In recent times, with the rise of the internet, social media and handheld technologies, anyone can present so-called ‘evidence’ of UFO’s, aliens or any number of mysterious events and creatures with just a few clicks and a dash of Photoshop. Luckily, the infrastructure generated by institutes such as NASA, gives us a clear image of what is happening ‘out there’ in Space.Support the showSupport us on PatreonConsider leaving us a review on your preferred podcast platform, it really helps!Check our our videos on YouTubeGot any questions? email us at: [email protected] for listening and stay spooky! 

Leakin Park in Baltimore, USA is a vast city park covering 1,216 acres that borders 20 of the city's inner neighborhoods. Despite its natural beauty and historic structures, it has earned the nickname "murder park" due to its dark history of unsolved crimes and murders. Since 1946, 79 known bodies have been found in or near the park, many of which were killed elsewhere and brought to the park for disposal. Although some areas have been closed off or cleared to make it more attractive to visitors, Leakin Park will always be associated with death, and those who walk through it must always be aware of the possibility of discovering its next victim...Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launStart for FREEDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

It is fair to say that most conspiracy theories or credible UFO sightings stem from previous decades, across every continent and from what we have heard or read in books. On this channel we aim to cover them all, as well as the current, ongoing mysteries that cannot be explained – or are in the process of being uncovered as we speak. At this moment we are 10 months into a war which dramatically erupted on 24th February – the War in Ukraine. And yet; with everything we have come to witness on our television screens, live streams and written testimonies by those reporting or involved in the conflict, it would appear that a new story is beginning to emerge. Why has there been so many sightings of unidentified flying objects over the skies of Ukraine? Are these just militarised aircraft that we have yet to understand or conduct tests upon? Or; is there perhaps a separate war raging in the skies above the former Soviet Union?

Unfortunately, as we can see from recent environmental catastrophes, as well as the sickening cruelty towards our fellow beings, certain animals are at risk of becoming extinct or forced from their natural habitat; which, I’m sure you will agree, is a monumental crisis and colossal failure on our part - to a certain extent. However; what if the livelihood and wellbeing of the animal kingdom – especially those who reside in the open areas of farmland – were, in fact, being targeted by entities NOT of this Earth? In this video we will look at the historic- not to mention shocking- stories of cattle mutilation that have been reported and discussed at length throughout the years and across the United States - as well as the conspiracies that have followed in their wake.Support the showSupport us on PatreonConsider leaving us a review on your preferred podcast platform, it really helps!Check our our videos on YouTubeGot any questions? email us at: [email protected] for listening and stay spooky! 

The concept of secret societies has been the subject of numerous reports, investigations and fascinating stories for decades. For some; these shadowy groups of powerful, all seeing / all knowing individuals are a myth; a design for keeping everyone ‘in line’ by using a fabricated threat of global tyranny as the method for the implementation of social obedience. From the Knights Templar to the Freemasons, tales of highly powerful and influential men and women have a longstanding, mysterious history - which has fascinated conspiracy theorists for years. And yet; despite what we already know about such groups, through the likes of David Icke- or Jon Ronson, author of THEM!-  there is still a lot to uncover and dissect. There are those who wish to discover the truth and potentially infiltrate such sinister factions to discover their genuine purpose and what leverage they have on global politics, economy and population; it is the purpose of this video to discuss one of these organisations.Support the showSupport us on PatreonConsider leaving us a review on your preferred podcast platform, it really helps!Check our our videos on YouTubeGot any questions? email us at: [email protected] for listening and stay spooky! 

Nowadays; despite the evidence which is being presented and scrutinised on a daily basis as well as the shifting beliefs and perspectives on the UFO phenomenon, there are some cases which still remain unsolved or overlooked. In the case of the Medford UFO sighting that occurred in the winter of 1975, this premise surely applies. If you haven’t heard of it, you are not the only one. So what happened on that day, nearly half a century ago? Who saw the mysterious object? And what subsequent events transpired that resulted in a case (which even attracted the likes of the actor Leonard Nemoy) to be shut down as quickly as it came to light?Support the showSupport us on PatreonConsider leaving us a review on your preferred podcast platform, it really helps!Check our our videos on YouTubeGot any questions? email us at: [email protected] for listening and stay spooky!

The importance of oil and gas has never been more divisive or destructive than in today’s modern world. Wars have been declared and thousands have died in the name of sourcing, claiming and producing oil for themselves or to play the financial market. As time and technology have progressed, the opportunities and risks to extract oil resources have risen to maximum levels across the globe; one method being used for this is the instalment of drills which burrow thousands of feet underwater. Unfortunately on April 20th 2010, the risk and danger of such extraction overcame the opportunity for oil when, due to a rupture in the drilling platform of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig resulted in a catastrophic explosion that killed 11 people and injured many more. The cause of the explosion and subsequent aftermath resulted in a colossal oil spill which lasted four months and amassed to approximately 60,000 square miles across the Gulf of Mexico.Support the showSupport us on PatreonConsider leaving us a review on your preferred podcast platform, it really helps!Check our our videos on YouTubeGot any questions? email us at: [email protected] for listening and stay spooky!

Of course, this position has been taken by many scientists and theorists in the past.

Brazil or officially named ‘The Federative Republic of Brazil’ is the largest country in both South America and Latin America, boasting a massive 8.5 million square kilometers in size and inhabiting almost 215 million civilians. Encompassed by the gigantic Amazon rainforest and tropical oceans, the country is known for its diversity of people as well as its 40,000 plant species, 1,300 bird species and 427 mammals, which reside within its perimeters. Samba, coffee, football and the world famous Carnival are part of the allure and characteristics that make up the South American nation. Unfortunately; like everything else, the country has had its fair share of issues and criticisms over the years, such as its crime rates, drug cartels and its handling of the Covid-19 outbreak.

To try and decipher the truth from the fictitious can be a laborious task; one that many people soon become frustrated with. It is often said that the most candid and believable stories are told by those who wish to remain humble or out of the spotlight; whether it be war veterans, emergency service personnel or even a witness to a UFO...If this statement is true by its own admission, then it is worth investigating the strange case which occurred in the summer of 1979, involving a small town Deputy Sheriff named Val Johnson. What exactly happened in the early hours of August 27th to the Deputy Sheriff? What makes Johnson’s story so authentic that it remains in the public eye to this very day? And what subsequent events have changed the way we look at UFOs as well as the witnesses that decide to come forward?

Governments across the globe have invariably been vague when it comes to the release and disclosure of unidentified flying objects. When asked the question on the existence of aliens or extraterrestrial intelligence, the response has always been taken in jest or, at best, acknowledged without any evidence being presented. Hesitancy to reveal the true nature of UFO’s means that either the governing bodies don’t know how to explain such a phenomenon – or have, in fact, acquired too much information that could cause panic amongst the general population if released.As time has progressed and technology has overtaken our lives to a certain degree, the question as to whether UFOs exist is becoming more and more irrelevant. The expansion of social media, telescopic manufacturing and general interest from numerous sources has pressured the US Government into releasing video footage of unidentified crafts, which have been recorded over the past 20 years. One piece of footage has not only baffled UFO enthusiasts but also reached the highest order of the US Navy to investigate and explain what happened in July of 2019.Support the showSupport us on PatreonConsider leaving us a review on your preferred podcast platform, it really helps!Check our our videos on YouTubeGot any questions? email us at: [email protected] for listening and stay spooky! 

For all the evidence, exposed cover ups and acknowledgment by top government officials in countries such as the United States, Japan has been one of the leading nations of skepticism with regards to unidentified flying objects. Despite being the eleventh most populous country in the world and known for the specialism in advanced technology (such as artificial intelligence), the East Asian island’s understanding and acceptance of UAP’s or extra-terrestrial beings remains minimal…until now that is.So; how can it be that one of the most influential nations here on Earth has taken so long to catch up with the rest of us? What was Japan’s initial assessment and proposed response to the study of UFO’s and their potential impact here on our planet… and what changed? Can we fully rely on our Japanese neighbors to provide their knowledge and technical know-how to propel our wisdom on such matters to the next level?

Without delving too much into the realms of science fiction, one cannot ignore the mysterious event that took place in August 1977; an incident that stunned the most distinguished professors at the time as well as the world when it was announced that we had, indeed made contact with aliens. The ‘WOW!’ signal, which was received through a newly developed radio telescope from Ohio State University, lasted approximately 72 seconds but would captivate the cosmological society for decades to come. So what was the signal and what did it sound like? Was it aliens?

On June 8, 1989, in the quiet city of Richmond, in Vancouver, British Columbia, a body was found in the yard of an abandoned house. The victim was Cindy James, a 44-year-old nurse. Cindy had been drugged, strangled, and her hands and feet were tied. However, remarkably the Royal Canadian Mounted Police believed that her death was either an accident or suicide, even though prior to her demise, Cindy had endured years of harassment and had reported close to 100 incidents of threatening phone calls, letters and violent physical attacks.In this episode we look at the life, harassment and police investigation into the mysterious and still unsolved death of Cindy James...Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launStart for FREEDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

In this video we will look into the possibility that as the bloodshed spilled in the Vietnam War, in the skies above unidentified objects and crafts were surveying the scene and perhaps having significant influence as to who would come out victorious.

And what significance does it have in our view of war nowadays as we try to understand what happened during this major turning point in U.S history?

Diesel’s body would be found nearly two weeks later and ultimately ignite a spate of conspiracy theories that remain to this very day. So what exactly happened to Rudolf Diesel?

In the case of Alan Turing; the mathematician who became infamous during World War Two for his contribution to science, cryptography, and mathematics, it would appear that there is no one more qualified to receive gracious honour and recognition for his work. Though this was the case for some time, Turing would suffer many injustices in his life; battling his own demons whilst being persecuted for his sexual orientation. Perhaps the biggest conspiracy to haunt the life and works of Alan Turing would surround the case and cause of his untimely death at the age of 42. Reported as suicide at the time, there have since been multiple reports, discussions and theories centring on this issue and is the focus of our video today. Did Alan Turing ‘really’ kill himself? What troubles had the respected scientist endured in the lead up to his death? Could it be that he was actually murdered for what he knew?Support the showSupport us on PatreonConsider leaving us a review on your preferred podcast platform, it really helps!Check our our videos on YouTubeGot any questions? email us at: [email protected] for listening and stay spooky!

Mount Everest, or Sagarmatha, stands 29,000 feet above sea level, and its summit is the highest point on Earth. It was created 50 to 60 million years ago when the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates collided. The forces that pushed the rocks together all those years ago are still going strong, and every year, Everest's summit rises by a quarter of an inch. On May 29th 1953, New Zealand mountaineer Edmund Hillary and Nepali-Indian Sherpa Tenzing Norgay became the first people ever to reach the summit. At the time, that was a huge deal!However, today over 5,000 people have successfully climbed Mount Everest, some multiple times. Nevertheless, it should always be remembered that ascending Mount Everest is an extremely challenging feat, even for the most experienced mountaineers. One of the most significant dangers is the high altitude. At 26,000ft, you enter what is known as the "death zone." the final stretch just before the summit where the oxygen levels become too low to support human life. Spending too much time in the death zone can cause altitude sickness and brain swelling and this is where the mountain claims most of its victims. In 1996, Everest had one of its most disastrous and catastrophic events... Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launStart for FREEDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Karen Wetterhahn was an internationally respected Professor Of Chemistry and an expert on heavy metals' effects on living systems, especially their role in causing cancer. She was a rising star and destined to become one of the most celebrated professors Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, had ever seen. During the 20 years Karen dedicated to the college, she published more than 85 research papers and helped establish the Women in Science Project, which enabled women to increase their share of science majors from 13 to 25 per cent.
