Welcome back to an all-new season of Mysterious Universe!

Join us as we kick off 2024 exploring the strange events currently engulfing our world. We discuss the supernatural side of Vietnam and hear stories of the ghostly figures said to haunt the guerrilla battlefields and tunnels of Cu Chi. Stories of tree ghosts, glowing beings, and bullet-imperious phantom apes are all covered before we chat about the recent reports of jellyfish UFOs and alien sightings from around the globe.

Then our Plus+ members are in for a wild ride as we discuss the influence of cosmic rays and hear how solar activity could be altering our brainwaves, bringing about destruction and revolutions before an ultimate golden age.

Crop circles is a subject of heated debate among both paranormal enthusiasts and scientists. However, there might be deeper, more profound explanations lurking within our collective human experiences that could shed light on this mystery.
Some individuals who admit to creating these hoaxes report experiencing strange occurrences, suggesting that a mysterious force influences them to make these designs. We dive into these accounts to explore the possibility that a paranormal intelligence could be linked to various phenomena associated with crop circles, including mysterious creatures, orbs of light, time distortions, and more.
For our Plus+ members, we explore the writings of a Japanese equivalent to John Keel, featuring encounters with serpentine women, airborne mountain men, and the bizarre technologies of a lost civilization.

31.16 - MU Podcast - The Great Crop Circle Hoax

Strange things are said to lurk in the seaside mist of England's Cornwall—strange creatures, occult groups, and otherworldly entities are said to have covered the land for centuries. We discuss an obscured report of an odd video tape, mentioned in an old forum post, purported to show an occult group performing a strange ritual. Those who view the tape are reportedly supernaturally affected by it. Is this just a legend influenced by the horror film "The Ring," or is there some truth to the story? A truth so terrifying that the group behind it will try to stop anyone who tries to reveal their hidden place in the forest?

For our Plus+ members, we explore haunted castles said to keep demons at bay, supernatural creatures lurking in the battlefields of wars, and a new perspective on encounters with the mysterious rolling rock apes.

31.15 - MU Podcast - Gengha King of Dogs

Psychic phenomena permeates many aspects of our lives; however, for some reason, it is especially apparent in crime. Whether it's heightened emotions or human energy fueling tense events coupled with violence and revenge, the strange and unexplained is never far from these occurrences. We discuss some of these unusual happenings in the context of crimes being solved from beyond the grave, dowsing for missing persons, using psychometry to find money, and much more.
Then, for our Plus+ Members, we explore the extraordinary and contentious theory that the stones comprising the Pyramids and other ancient sites are actually an artificial polymer, nearly indistinguishable from natural rock, crafted through the utilization of a lost technology only recently discovered by modern science.

31.14 - MU Podcast - Psychic Pre-Crime

Throughout the world, across numerous cultures, elongated skulls have been revered. Whether it's a small isolated island in the middle of the Pacific or an ancient culture, the practice of elongating skulls is as mystifying as it is unexplained. The practice has led some to speculate that it was done to enhance consciousness and psychic abilities. For the very same reason, trepanning has been conducted from Neolithic times to the modern day. We explore this strange practice and hear reports of people who have attempted to alter their consciousness by drilling holes in their heads. Sometimes with incredible improvements, though usually the person ends up in a love affair with a pigeon. Listen to find out more.
Then, for our Plus+ Members, we take a look at a new angle on Bigfoot encounters and consider how they are more similar to poltergeist encounters than you might think. Is it possible that Bigfoot is being mimicked by some other unknown force?

31.13 - MU Podcast - Psychic Brain Gates

It seems that every few years, a new announcement is made in the UFO genre, and disclosure is suddenly within reach. However, those who have been in the field for a long time realize that this is just another peak in the phenomenon cycle. We explore the history of UFO flaps and consider how similar elements recur throughout the ages. We also discuss the concept of "negative factors" and how the phenomenon itself seemingly leaves behind false evidence to undermine witnesses and researchers alike, so it can continue its strange occupation uninhibited.

Speaking of unusual occupations, in our Plus+ extension, we hear the story of a woman with a seemingly normal day job and an extremely weird private life. This includes encounters with the "golds," quantum gateways, Bigfoot, interdimensional car mechanics, and high levels of mind-bending strangeness.
