Was Percy Fawcett chasing an illusion in the hunt for the Lost City of Z?  Is the legend of El Dorado based on something that could one day be found?  What other wonders may lay within the vast region of the Amazon?

Join Ansir & Sophia as they discuss how realistic it is that something of immense importance or a mysterious nature may lay hidden in the Amazon rainforest.

Crystal Skulls -- although the Mitchell-Hedges specimen is the most famous, there are many more. The questions that must be asked are: are they fraudulent artifacts?; Are they from a lost civilisation (e.g., Atlantis)?; Are they paranormal?; or is Indianna Jones correct and they are the skulls of extra-terrestrials? 

You can see the British Museum skull here https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/E_Am1898-1

Listen to Ansir & Sophia as they discuss the skulls at or via all good podcast platforms.

Battles are traumatic places.  Whether there is one casualty or millions, they have the potential for hauntings of both the residual energy and discarante consciousness types.   Join Ansir & Sophia as they discuss a number of battlefields and the possibility for them to be haunted.

Inspired by recent Hollywood depictions, we take the dive and return to the hollow Earth!

Join Ansir & Sophia to discuss the Shaver mystery, the deros, Admiral Byrd, Verne, Poe, Agharta, Shamballah, and the work of Cpt. Symmes on why we may live on (or maybe inside of) a hollow Earth!

Werewolves.  We all know what they are, or at least we think that we do.  The legends and lore about shapeshifters include an array of animals and dates back to ancient Mesopotamia and the Epic of Gilgamesh.  In this episode, Ansir & Sophia discuss legends, Hollywood depictions, how you become a werewolf, how shapeshifting works, and how to kill a werewolf.

With claims of paranormal phenomena going back centuries, Utah's Skinwalker Ranch is an infamous hotspot for all things strange.  Amidst claims of secretive government activity, there are tales of shapeshifters, UAP, crop circles, shadow people, and cattle mutiliation.  As we prepare to enjoy season two of the Curse of Skinwalker Ranch, Ansir takes the lead on a discussion of Utah's window area.

When a young man goes missing after a night out with friends and is later found dead in a body of water, it could be a terrible accident or even a crime.  If another man is found dead in the same circumstances, then it could be a terrible coincidence.  When 300 plus young men die in exactly the same circumstances, the chances of it being a coincidence become unrealistic -- espescially when date rape drugs and anomalies in decomposition come into effect.  Is there a serial killer cult at work?

Join Ansir & Sophia as they discuss the reality and mechanism of how objects can be cursed, blessed, or haunted.  Afterwards, they then proceed to discuss some of the more infamous haunted or cursed objects and debate why there are not more of them.

The Whitechapel murders of 1888 are infamous, yet the identity of the killer remains unknown.  Ansir & Sophia discuss the events, possible suspects, and why these murders hold such a fascination for many.

The descriptions of what Betty and Barney Hill encountered on 19th September 1961, or their recollections of events, are both strange and iconic.  Whilst it is uncertain as to what they encountered, some of the effects are very much physical and measurable.  Was it extra-terrestrials or is that interpretation influenced by the earlier UFO sighting by Betty's sister?  Regardless of the nature of events, the recollections of the Hills set the standard for much of what is now commonly understood to be elements of close encounters of the fourth kind!
