Blurry Photober is late this year, but David is back with an episode all about Highgate Cemetery! An incredible feat of gothic greatness, Highgate Cemetery has an interesting history and hauntings to boot. David had the fortune to take a tour of the Grade I historic location, and also interviewed the tour guide, John Waite. John and David go over the history of the cemetery, including its inception, how it fell to disrepair, and how it was revived. David then gets into the history of the hauntings which are said to happen. Mysterious top-hatted figures, forlorn spectres, and rumors of vampires have plagued the boneyard for decades. David discusses these stories as well as the infamous occultist feud between David Farrant and Sean Manchester. Take a history-heavy tour of a hauntingly beautiful location in this episode of Blurry Photos!

On Blurry Hysteria this week we grapple with revelation from the seemingly otherworldly. Our focus today is on a groundbreaking article that's swept the globe: INTELLIGENCE OFFICIALS SAY U.S. HAS RETRIEVED CRAFT OF NON-HUMAN ORIGIN. We’re untangling the clandestine testimonies and examining startling admissions from a highly-credible whistleblower who stepped into the light of the Congressional stage. They claim not just the U.S., but various global powers have quietly retrieved unidentified downed crafts - UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) and USOs (Unidentified Submerged Objects) alike.
Join us as we navigate the murky waters of this astounding “disclosure-lite”. Will we find definitive proof of extraterrestrial visitors, or is it a cleverly orchestrated subterfuge? Whether you're a diehard believer, a hardened skeptic, or just someone curious about the extraordinary, this episode promises to challenge your beliefs and ignite your imagination.
