I welcome back parapsychologist and author John Fraser as we discuss his latest book, One Big Paranormal Box Of Tricks.

In the book, John reflects on the motivations for his involvement in paranormal research from an early age, less of a life story, the book is presented as a meditation on what the paranomal may mean for us.

You can find the book here:

A big thank you to John for joining me this week.

I'm delighted to welcome back author, investigator and a contributor to dozens of paranormal television shows, Richard Estep back to the show. 

In his latest book, In Search of Demons, he hits the road to interview people in regards to one of the most decisive topics in the paranormal and hears from sceptics, believers, investigators, magicians, bishops, exorcists and more.

A balanced and informative journey awaits the reader as RIchard grapples with the baggage attached to such a subject.

In this book, Ronald Kinsella questions the validity of a number of alien, UFO and cryptid reports which range from the unusual, to the very bizarre, throughout the world. This interrogation is not based on their authenticity, rather, questioning a much darker aspect to their origins and of a seemingly fragmented phenomenon.

We discuss the possibilities of one force perhaps being behind all manner of unusual encounters with some intriguing ideas.

The book can be found here:

We enter the world of divination and tarot this week with author and reader Alaric Albertsson who guides us into the world of reading through a standard set of playing cards.

For many, a normal pack of cards was more than sufficient to enable seers and those attuned to receiving messages to find guidance in the past until Tarot took hold in the late 19th centrury.

With a history shrouded in mystery we look through the magic and mystery to uncover the power of cards.

His books can be found here:

This week, I am delighted to welcome back Lyle Blackburn to the show to cover one the Lone Star state's most infamous cryptid cases.

The Lake Worth Monster cases erupted in that hot summer of 1969 which left dozens of witnesses baffled, locals forming monster hunting posse's and a slew of strange characters claiming they were responsible.

Lyle also discuss the curious case of the Cowman of Copalis Beach, an often overlooked Bigfoot encounter first uploaded on line way back in 1995!

Lyle's book can be found here:
