Welcome to Episode 213: The Hitchhiker Effect! When billionaire Robert Bigelow purchased Skinwalker Ranch in the 1990s, he never dreamed that one day he would have taxpayer funding to study its paranormal phenomena, but that is exactly what happened. As scientists, researchers, and journalists flocked to Skinwalker to observe the otherworldly activity firsthand, they began to notice something curious: the phenomena were not confined to the ranch. Instead, supernatural entities such as orbs, UFOs, shadow people, and dog men began infiltrating the homes of some of the scientists. This curious activity would come to be known as “The Hitchhiker Effect”, and while it may seem unbelievable, it is very, very real. People of all ages, genders, races, and religions can become unwitting targets of the effect, and unfortunately there’s no known cure. Join us on this wild episode of LGH as we take you through the ins and outs of The Hitchhiker Effect, complete with first-person interviews!
