This week Zach shares stories of the weird and scary internet creepy pasta phenomenon that is Slenderman.

And despite the fact that Slenderman’s origin can be traced back to a single person, the lore developed cult-like following and even led to several attempted murders. Tune in this week to hear about the scary and bizarre world of Slenderman.

While the title of this episode sounds improbable and probably crazy it may not be as far-fetched as you might assume. This week Tim breaks down a unique and controversial theory put forth by biological anthropologist Dr. Michael P Masters that may explain UAPs and abductions. Is it possible that the flying saucers seen by many are in fact from this world? Could it be that eyewitness accounts of extraterrestrials are in fact sightings of humans from the future? Tune in this week as the boys discuss the book Identified Flying Objects: A Multidisciplinary Scientific Approach to the UFO Phenomenon.

Join the boys this week as they try to solve who dunnit (and the hows and whys). In a place this remote and this uninhabited, instead of asking WHO did it, it’s almost easier to ask WHAT did it.

Sulfur. Ozone. Rotting meat. These are some of the smells associated with aliens, spirits, and Bigfoot. Although it’s not talked about often, witnesses to the paranormal often report very distinct smells. Because the olfactory sense can trigger memories and experiences in ways different from vision, hearing, touch or taste...in a way, it almost makes their accounts more believable. Come along this week as the boys do their best to describe the smells of the paranormal in (you guessed it) an audio format!

Although officially disbanded, what effects did COINTELPRO have on law enforcement and government agencies today? Tune in to find out!

This week Tim breaks down the phenomenon written about by Mary Rose Barrington in her book JOTT: When things Disappear...and Come Back or Relocate - and Why it Really Happens.
