In February 1803, a group of Japanese fisherman came across something strange on their shores - an odd, round boat carrying an even more odd passenger.  Was this bizarre passenger a visitor from another world, or did they meet someone from somewhere slightly closer to home?

Join us this week as we delve into Japan's ancient alien story, as well as look at some mysterious artwork that can only be appreciated by a Greek man in a brown suit.

Join us this week as we discuss The Amityville Horror, a story so terrifying it spawned a book and a Hollywood film!

Join us this week as we continue our exploration into the world of lesser known cults! 

Founded by Terri Lee Hoffman, The Conscious Development of Body, Mind and Soul started as a religious movement that seemed to innocently help lost souls and sell jewellery, however it would eventually end in tragedy. 

In part one of our two part series, we look into the origins of The Conscious Development movement, its founder Terri Lee Hoffman and filthy rich devotee Sandy Cleaver.

In March of 1978, a technical engineer encountered something truly bizarre on his late night journey home from work.

What Ken Edwards stumbled into is still unknown to this day, but what we do know is, it was tall, silver, had no knees and shot lasers out of its eyes. 

Join us this week as we return to the world of UFOlogy and discuss one of the weirdest stories in Great British paranormal history, The Risley Silver Man!

The 1990s was a wild time for television in Japan. It was an era that brought us shows like Takeshi's Castle, and exposed the western world to the wacky side of Japanese culture. 

It also exposed the darker side of Japanese reality television, when one show sadistically tortured a man who simply wanted to become famous. 

Join us this week as we discuss the horrifying story of Nasubi, a man whose 15 month imprisonment was livestreamed 24 hours a day, much to the enjoyment of over 17 million viewers.
