Psychic phenomena permeates many aspects of our lives; however, for some reason, it is especially apparent in crime. Whether it's heightened emotions or human energy fueling tense events coupled with violence and revenge, the strange and unexplained is never far from these occurrences. We discuss some of these unusual happenings in the context of crimes being solved from beyond the grave, dowsing for missing persons, using psychometry to find money, and much more.
Then, for our Plus+ Members, we explore the extraordinary and contentious theory that the stones comprising the Pyramids and other ancient sites are actually an artificial polymer, nearly indistinguishable from natural rock, crafted through the utilization of a lost technology only recently discovered by modern science.

31.14 - MU Podcast - Psychic Pre-Crime

Throughout the world, across numerous cultures, elongated skulls have been revered. Whether it's a small isolated island in the middle of the Pacific or an ancient culture, the practice of elongating skulls is as mystifying as it is unexplained. The practice has led some to speculate that it was done to enhance consciousness and psychic abilities. For the very same reason, trepanning has been conducted from Neolithic times to the modern day. We explore this strange practice and hear reports of people who have attempted to alter their consciousness by drilling holes in their heads. Sometimes with incredible improvements, though usually the person ends up in a love affair with a pigeon. Listen to find out more.
Then, for our Plus+ Members, we take a look at a new angle on Bigfoot encounters and consider how they are more similar to poltergeist encounters than you might think. Is it possible that Bigfoot is being mimicked by some other unknown force?

31.13 - MU Podcast - Psychic Brain Gates

It seems that every few years, a new announcement is made in the UFO genre, and disclosure is suddenly within reach. However, those who have been in the field for a long time realize that this is just another peak in the phenomenon cycle. We explore the history of UFO flaps and consider how similar elements recur throughout the ages. We also discuss the concept of "negative factors" and how the phenomenon itself seemingly leaves behind false evidence to undermine witnesses and researchers alike, so it can continue its strange occupation uninhibited.

Speaking of unusual occupations, in our Plus+ extension, we hear the story of a woman with a seemingly normal day job and an extremely weird private life. This includes encounters with the "golds," quantum gateways, Bigfoot, interdimensional car mechanics, and high levels of mind-bending strangeness.

31.12 - MU Podcast - The Cycle of UFO Deception

An unassuming and hardworking woman arrived in Brasília in 1957 to contribute to the construction of the new capital city. Yet, within two decades, she had established a spiritual metropolis that serves as the headquarters of a global spiritual movement. We explore the life of this mysterious woman and learn about the practices of the "Valley of the Dawn" faith. Often dismissed as a cult, they could be considered the Brazilian equivalent of Unarius, adorned in peculiar bright clothing and holding alien beliefs. However, there appears to be something otherworldly truly unfolding within this group and its members. In our Plus+ extension, we discuss the experiences of Australian psychonauts and the extraordinary encounters they've had with ethereal beings. Are these entities benevolent or malevolent? We'll leave it to you to listen and decide.

31.11 - MU Podcast - The Valley of the Dawn

Why do we possess the traits we do? Why do we look and act the way we do? Is genetics the answer? The entire concept of genes explaining who and why we are didn't hold as well as it once had. There has to be something else, and that something else might be akin to the theories of morphic fields proposed by the groundbreaking scientist Rupert Sheldrake. We discuss concepts such as presentiment, extraordinary knowledge, telepathy, and much more as we delve into the strangest aspects of morphic fields and consider how they may address some of the questions about what it means to be a human being.
Then, in our Plus+ extension, we cover a terrifying surveillance state already in effect worldwide. It's legal and available to anyone who wants to pay for it. Utilizing this network, your phone can discern who you associate with, where you go, and almost what you intend to do. Even more disturbingly, your car can decipher your deepest desires and even your sexual orientation! It's an incredible warning of a dark future and one Plus+ extension not to be missed.
