Mysterious “butterfly people” were seen by the residents of Joplin, Missouri during the 2011 F5 tornado that devastated the midwest. Curiously, these beings appeared at the perfect moment that some residents were sheltered from danger and miraculously survived. In this episode, Rob and John attempt to answer the questions: What happened in Joplin? Are the butterfly people real? What are the butterfly people? Did survivors of the Twister-esque tornado see butterfly people or angels during the storm? Was the massive, devastating tornado natural? Where did the tornado come from?

With well over a hundred deaths and 1,000 injuries in Joplin, damage up to $7 billion, numerous homes destroyed, vehicles mangled, and commercial buildings flattened, the May storm was one of the largest tornado outbreaks on record. It affected the midwest and south, including Arkansas, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Oklahoma, and more. In Joplin specifically, two thunderstorms merged to produce a “mega tornado.” Interestingly, the highest reports of people encountering “butterfly people” were from children. After an intense car accident, butterflies began appearing around 14-year-old Emily Huddleson. In the middle of a violent weather attack, 10-year-old Mason Lillard felt a hand placed on her shoulder—and it wasn’t her cousin Lage, but a sight nobody would’ve believed if it weren’t for all the other reports of “butterfly people” sightings going around town later. Rob Counts brings his investigative research into firsthand sightings and local legends. Then, John Vivanco shares his incredible remote viewing data that will shed light on the “butterfly people” phenomena and more. Strange, paranormal phenomena have been spotted before natural disasters struck in other cases, but this episode of Metaphysical reveals possibly the strangest one yet. Join Rob and John for a show that’s out of this world.
