Back in 2020, I had an opportunity to speak with renowned Ufologist Peter Robbins, but once the interview had concluded, when I went to find the file, it was seemingly corrupted.

That was until last weekend, when searching for something else, I stumbled across the actual edited show that I had done, and clearly misfiled back in October 2020.

So as a Christmas bonus for you all, here is that lost interview as Peter talks about he and his sisters experience as children, his love of art and literature, his friendship with Budd Hopkins and the infamous Manhattan Abduction Case with Linda Napolitano who sadly passed away recently.

This episode is dedicated to Linda's memory and courage.

Ruth Roper Wylde's databases have been mentioned on our previous converstations over the years, but we've never discussed some of the trends, facts and peculiarities of the date Ruth has collated. 

In the Paranormal community, certain cliches, tropes and bad information often gets trotted out. Nobody sees modern ghosts, all Black Dog encounters are frightening, nobody sees the Fae anymore and so on.

We dive in to some of these and find out that there is a lot more to the data than badly researched tropes and those who use them suggest.

Ruth's latest book can be found here:

For the most part, the investigation of strange events or an alleged haunted site can cause many to be excited, intrigued and even mystified by strange sounds, snatched glimpses of figures and movements in the corner of your eye.

Yet, even the most experienced researcher and investigtors have a line in the sand for their fear factor and Steve Mera returns to discuss some of the occasions that he's made an escape from some rather hair raising situations.

We head to Asia today as I welcome authors Komal Salman and Shaherzaad Laila to the show to discuss their fantastic new book "Heartstrings of the Kyhber - A Collection of Pashto Folktales".

This collection of stories has been published in English for the first time thanks to the diligent work of Komal and Shaherzaad in locating, researching and translating these wonderful stories for our enjoyment.

Within this carefully curated collection, readers are able to explore themes of love, loss, longing, and honour throughout the cultural ethos of the Pashtuns. Along with their Folkloristan project, Komal and Shaherzaad are bringing these lost tales to a far wider audience and saving them for generations to come!

You can find the book here:

October 20th 1967 is a day burned in to most lovers of Bigfoot as the day everything changed with 59 seconds of footage of alleged undiscovered hominid striding through Bluff Creek in California.

For the two men who caught that footage, Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin, life would never be the same again and in his new film, Bigfoot Enterprises: The Trueish Adventures of Patterson and Gimlin, director Eric Fulford and his writers Mark Schwartz and Mark Yellen set their sights of telling the story of the aftermath and the madness this entails.

Eric is a lifelong Bigfoot enthusiast and genuinely passionate about doing justice to the legend. He's got great stories from pre-production and what it takes to bring a cryptid to life on screen. Eric has made a career digging into the dusty reels of American storytelling, from the punk-legend skate myth of DAY AT THE POOL to the surreal Hollywood spiral of THE PLATINUM LOOP.

In 1977, the quiet island of Colares, Brazil, became the center of one of the most astonishing UFO investigations in history. Known as Operation Saucer, this secret Brazilian Air Force mission documented strange lights, unexplained burns, and encounters that terrified an entire community.

Now in his new book, MUFON Brazil's International Director, Thiago Ticchetti has compiled an extensive overview on the case that terrified the experiences and residents, saw the US secret service turn up and a official report suppressed for decades

Just what was attacking the people of Colares and what was it after?
