Welcome to What The Heck season 3! This podcast explores unexplained phenomena using stories gathered from various sources, then applies an academic research method to find theories and solutions for each one. So far, we've been unsuccessful in finding any concrete answers, but a few of the stories we've covered has been solved. This week, we're looking at the DMT Realm. DMT is a hallucinogenic drug that can alter perceptions of reality. Some people report seeing creatures and a completely different world whilst on the drug. One man has begun a journey to document his journey through the realm, and others have been training to do the same. Even reports of the creatures are similar, even if the people reporting them are completely unrelated. What is DMT? Who first started the idea that there was a separate realm hidden behind psychedelic drugs? What research have we got to back this up? Listen in to hear all the theories!
