This week, we’re sitting down to discuss a series of videos released by Carol Rainey, the wife of Budd Hopkins, that has had a massive impact on our view of the Linda Napolitano abduction case. Linda Napolitano was a simple New York housewife, at least until November 30, 1989, when in the middle of the night she was abducted by aliens and made to float above the Manhattan sky until she entered a UFO. Believe it or not, events only get stranger from there! Information revealed during Carol Rainey’s documentation of interactions between Linda and Budd made things much clearer to us. Join us as we try to make sense of this tangle of bizarre incidents.

In October 1872, a small Georgia community was bursting with visitors and curiosity seekers in an attempt to discover the truth behind mysterious happenings at the family home of Allen Powell Surrency.  

In what many consider to be one of the most documented ghost story in American history, the Surrency family home seemingly became the epicenter of a destructive entity.  From the benign, doors slammed open and closed and objects floated above the ground, to the life threatening, a child thrown from bed and another beaten by unseen hands. 

Today, proponents of the paranormal say that the events in 1872 have the marks of poltergeist activity, but there is no earthly way of knowing.

This week, we have a very special guest. You will probably recognize his voice from the gone but never forgotten Paratopia podcast that he hosted alongside the late great Jeff Ritzmann. He is also the sometimes host of Dreamland with Whitley Streiber. He is also the author of a handful of fantastic books like I Am to Tell You This and I Am to Tell You It is Fiction and I Know Why the Aliens Don’t Land. His latest book, Aliens: The First and Final Disclosure brilliant think piece on the truth behind the alien phenomenon and why the mainstream is getting it so wrong from the perspective of an honest-to-goodness experiencer. This guy is a seemingly endless font of fascinating discussion and theory. Enjoy!

In August of 1925, a Polish family went on what they thought would be a simple weekend hike. Unforeseen weather conditions and a series of bizarre events led them down a path no one would have ever expected. A lone survivor would tell a tale that tested the boundaries of reason. What happened on that fateful day that left a childless widow to mourn the loss of her family for the rest of her days?

This week, we finally pinned down the elusive Oscar Romo, host of the Induced Fear podcast. We have a thrilling talk about what we have most in common, mainly an unquenchable thirst for storytelling. We talk about how that love was handed down to us so graciously through our respective families’ oral traditions. We also discuss hauntings, poltergeists, wild UFO sightings, sleep paralysis, and doppelgangers! This episode was jam-packed with strangeness. Enjoy!

This week’s first tale explores the nature of self-definition. What is it to be a human being? What are we capable of? How do we reconcile the ends of the spectrum of human potential? These deep philosophical questions are explored through the medium of urban legend games and the brutality that they can create within us. 

Our second story speaks to the gentler side of humanity. Love, empathy, regret, and recognition of the impact of a single human being on the course of history. In this twisted take on A Christmas Carol, we see just how much damage a man can do through recklessness and ego. 

These stories are works of fiction. Any names or characters, businesses or places, events or incidents, are fictitious. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.

In the late 1970s, the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization (APRO) received a report from a family in Eastern Colorado. Reports detailed over a year of near-daily encounters with everything from alien encounters and UFO sightings to Bigfoot attacks and shadow people. Not to mention the almost constant back track of an unidentifiable metallic hum and the random appearance of glowing translucent boxes all over the property. With a direct tie to a regional MUFON director, this story could not get more tangled and fascinating.

This week, we had the distinct pleasure of welcoming a new friend to show. It isn’t very often that you come across someone with a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering that is assessing Forteana through a sociological lens but Chris Cogswell, the host of the Mad Scientist Podcast, is just that. We had an amazing talk about the development and societal implications of folklore throughout history, the importance of recognizing the roles we play in that development and the possible effects of modern folklore on the future. Chris is an infectiously gregarious guy. Talking with him was an absolute pleasure. Get ready for a good time.
