We return for a brand new season of MU, kicking off by plunging into the obscure world of occult groups and secret societies. We explore the recent work of Frederick Dodson, who spent years investigating the hidden aspects of Freemasonry, only to uncover an even more secretive group recruiting members through what he came to know as "side doors." Who are these groups, and how are they using spiritual or invisible methods to exert influence and control over society?

Then, for our Plus+ members, we cover reports of energy-zapping orbs, cloud-cloaking UFOs, and strange phenomena of the San Luis Valley nexus.

Throughout history, new technologies have always sparked apprehension and suspicion. However, arguably none have done so more than the camera, at least from a superstitious perspective. Traditional cultures even believed these modern marvels could steal a piece of your soul. Folklore, perhaps, but could there be something to such a concept? In this episode, we explore this outlandish idea and consider whether, from an energy or new age perspective, cameras and the people who use them could actually take and capture energy from their subjects. If so, what implications could this have for our modern reality? Then, for our Plus+ members, we look at some of the most unusual forms of psychedelic exploration and consider the unconventional techniques for entering and maintaining a psychedelic mind meld.

Some stories of the paranormal are so outrageous that they seem impossible to believe.

With claims of levitating rocks, magnetized objects, glowing orbs, and even Sasquatch encounters, we question whether these strange events are evidence of the paranormal or something more mundane.

At the edges of reality, paranormal beings exist; this concept is especially emphasised in the spaces of liminal zones—areas both figurative and literal that exist in the in-between.

We discuss reports of encounters with the entities of these regions, including gnomes, ghostly apparitions, and even strange mechanically powered flying creatures. Then, for our Plus+ members, we explore the unusual story of a man who had a childhood encounter with a pair of elf-like creatures that propel him into a world of high strangeness and unexplained mysteries.

In 1996, veteran UFO researcher Budd Hopkins published a report that would change the UFO scene in ways no one could have imagined. He described the saga of a woman seemingly abducted from her New York City apartment in the middle of the night and thrust into a world of stalkers, MIB-like men, and diplomatic mystery. No longer was the UFO phenomenon limited to rural locations or lonely roads; if someone could be taken from a bustling city, then no one was safe. But was it true?

We discuss stunning new revelations suggesting that the story may not have been investigated as thoroughly as it should have and consider whether Hopkins may have been drawn in by the lure of crafting a more sensational narrative. Then, for our Plus+ members, we explore a series of strange mass hysteria events that may have a paranormal cause after all.
