Gareth Patterson spent almost two decades in South Africa in search of the secretive Knysna elephants; however he discovered something far more mysterious when he stumbled upon local tales of lost relic hominids. In a deep dive into the depths of fringe science, Gareth reveals his interactions with what the indigenous forest people know as the Otang.
Then in our Plus+ extension we discuss the unusual concept of ecstatic trance postures. We consider the research of a Felicitas Goodman who discovered how unique postures when combined with trance mediations grant access to powerful experiences and extra-dimensional realms.

For centuries, people have spontaneously disappeared in the most mysterious of circumstances. From Missing 411 reports to folklore legends of strange locations, there seems to be a common theme among them. We discuss some of these reports, from the reasonable to the outright outlandish, and consider how strange weather, solar activity, and sacred myths could explain just where these people are going.
Then, for our Plus+ members, we explore the parallels between the changes in the cycles of time, historic records of Hyperborea, the shift of the 'Spiritual Pole,' and the coming of the mole-men.

31.19 - MU Podcast - Dimensional Drift

Bibhu Dev Misra joins us to discus his research into the ancient belief that civilization is progressively declining from a Golden Age to the current age of discord, known as the Kali Yuga. He predicts the end of the Kali Yuga in March 2025, which could trigger a global collapse by 2040 through wars, environmental disasters, and comet impacts, fulfilling ancient prophecies of Earth's renewal. He also elaborates on the scientific validation of the Yuga Cycle's alignment with Earth's precession cycle and its implications for understanding the cyclical nature of civilizations, the fluctuation of human consciousness, and the prophesied return of a savior at the cycle's conclusion.
Then for our Plus+ members, we share stories from the incredible life of Dixie Yeterian, who became so proficient as a psychic detective that a hit was put on her. We discuss her encounters with angry spirits, backside psychometry, and more.

The topic of past life memories and reincarnation is often considered a taboo subject. However, inquiring minds like Ian Stevenson and Jim Tucker are well-known in their field due to the incredible case reports they have collated over their decorated careers. That said, it's not well-known that it was actually a 200-year-old report from Japan that spurred Stevenson to explore this fascinating phenomenon. On this episode, we hear this report and other incredible cases of reincarnation from Japan. Some children's memories are so vivid that rich details provide considerable evidence for life continuing beyond our understanding.
Then, in our Plus+ extension, we discuss the 'beetle levitation platform' and hear how an unwitting bug scientist's encounters with an angry beehive led him to discover antigravity technology and create a flying platform that could potentially be associated with UFO tech.

31.17 - MU Podcast - Battlefield Echoes Reborn

Crop circles is a subject of heated debate among both paranormal enthusiasts and scientists. However, there might be deeper, more profound explanations lurking within our collective human experiences that could shed light on this mystery.
Some individuals who admit to creating these hoaxes report experiencing strange occurrences, suggesting that a mysterious force influences them to make these designs. We dive into these accounts to explore the possibility that a paranormal intelligence could be linked to various phenomena associated with crop circles, including mysterious creatures, orbs of light, time distortions, and more.
For our Plus+ members, we explore the writings of a Japanese equivalent to John Keel, featuring encounters with serpentine women, airborne mountain men, and the bizarre technologies of a lost civilization.

31.16 - MU Podcast - The Great Crop Circle Hoax

Strange things are said to lurk in the seaside mist of England's Cornwall—strange creatures, occult groups, and otherworldly entities are said to have covered the land for centuries. We discuss an obscured report of an odd video tape, mentioned in an old forum post, purported to show an occult group performing a strange ritual. Those who view the tape are reportedly supernaturally affected by it. Is this just a legend influenced by the horror film "The Ring," or is there some truth to the story? A truth so terrifying that the group behind it will try to stop anyone who tries to reveal their hidden place in the forest?

For our Plus+ members, we explore haunted castles said to keep demons at bay, supernatural creatures lurking in the battlefields of wars, and a new perspective on encounters with the mysterious rolling rock apes.
