Please join us as we talk with Richard Estep, Paranormal Author, Investigator, and more!

Richard Estep has been a paranormal investigator since the mid-1990s, working in the UK and the USA, where he currently resides.

In addition to writing books, Richard earns his living as a paramedic and clinical educator in his adopted home state of Colorado. He also volunteers as a firefighter-paramedic-hazmat technician, and serves as a responder on Colorado Disaster Medical Assistance Team 3.

Official website: https://www.richardestep.net/

"About Me" from Richard's website:
I’m Richard Estep, author and paranormal investigator.

My love of all things ghostly began at a very young age, fed by staying in my grandparents’ haunted house in England and by a constant stream of binge reading at my local library (Syston Library, you’re the best!) I didn’t begin to actually investigate hauntings until the mid-nineties, but when I started, the bug bit me and hasn’t let go ever since. I took this passion with me when I moved to the United States in 1999, and finally formed the Boulder County Paranormal Research Society in 2006. It is still going strong today.

I started to write about my experiences in 2013, and now have a number of books that are either on the market or contracted to be released in the near future. I make my living as a paramedic and clinical educator for a private ambulance company. When I’m not doing that, I volunteer as a firefighter-paramedic, teach EMT and paramedic students at three different medical training establishments, and serve as an on-call communications technician/paramedic on a federal Disaster Medical Assistance Team (DMAT).

In the tiny amount of free time that does not involve paranormal investigation and writing about it, I am an unabashed geek, with a particular bias towards all things Star Wars. I have a Lego problem that may eventually require professional counseling if it gets any further out of hand. Perhaps above all else, I am a collector and reader of books.

I live in Colorado with my wife and a menagerie of rescued cats and dogs.

In Search of the Paranormal

Please join us as we talk to Special Returning Guest, Nick Redfern, about his upcoming book "The Slenderman Mysteries"

The Slenderman Mysteries
By Nick Redfern
Publication date: Feb. 19th, 2018 for the paperback and Feb. 26th for the Kindle edition..

It’s the dead of night; you are fast asleep. Suddenly, you are wide awake but unable to move. Hunched over you in the shadows is an eight- or nine-foot-tall gaunt entity with spider-thin limbs, dressed in an old-style black suit, its pale face missing eyes, nose, ears, and mouth. You finally manage to cry out. The monstrous thing disappears as suddenly as it appeared.

You just had a terrifying encounter with the Slenderman.

Who—or what—is the Slenderman? His existence began on the Internet, but he didn’t stay online. The Slenderman may be a tulpa, a thought-form that can stride out of our darkest imaginations and into reality if enough people believe in it. In May 2014, two young Milwaukee girls almost killed a friend in the name of the Slenderman. Perhaps, like the vast Skynet system in the Terminator movies, the Internet is turning against us—and attacking us with digital equivalents of our own online nightmares.

The Slenderman has come to life. For the first time, this book reveals the full and fear-filled saga.

We welcome Todd Bates - EVP expert, Paranormal personality, and Radio Show Host extraordinaire - to our show on this special Thursday edition of Mystic Moon Cafe!

Todd's bio:
Chances are you'll find him in a mysterious abandoned home, walls yellowed by age and doors teetering precariously on their hinges. Maybe a murder occurred or perhaps a fire. Whatever the case, Todd Bates is on the scene for a singular task: listening for voices of the dead.

Electronic Voice Phenomenon (commonly referred to as "EVP") is spirit voices captured on a digital or analog recording device that were not heard with the naked ear at the time of their recording. For Todd, collecting this specialized evidence of paranormal origin is a life calling. After years of personally investigating the mysteries of EVP and studying under a pioneering figure in the field, Sarah Estep, he took his passion to the Internet. Now in its 13th year, HauntedVoices.com has quickly grown to be one of the most successful Electronic Voice Phenomenon-based websites on the Internet dedicated to research, education and discussion. The site is also the home to the Haunted Voices Radio. The network of live & archived programs provide audio material 24 hours a day and Todd acts as program director and its flagship talk show host.
Todd has collected some of the most impressive examples of the phenomenon available today and currently teaches his capturing techniques and paranormal investigation protocol via private and on-air lessons.

On this week's show, we welcome back Mike Nichols, author of The Witches' Sabbats, to talk about how Witchcraft (or Wicca) has changed over the years since its revival in the 1960s, the difference between "traditional" and "eclectic" covens, the pros and cons of solitary practice vs. coven work, and much more!

Mike's bio:
Mike Nichols is the celebrated author of The Witches' Sabbats book and www.WitchesSabbats.com, a contributing author to Creating Circles & Ceremonies, and staff editor for The Center Spiral, Kansas City's online quarterly Pagan journal. Mike has been a featured speaker on National Public Radio [NPR], Spiral Dance Radio, and Eclectic Pagan Podcast on iTunes. He does extensive online teaching and writing, occasionally guest lectures at Pagan festivals, and is a singer/songwriter who performed with the Pagan band Spellbound.

A pioneer in the American neo-Pagan movement, Nichols taught classes in Witchcraft for twenty years continuously, from 1970 to 1989, in Columbia and Kansas City, Missouri, through the Communiversity and at his bookstore, The Magick Lantern. He was also the editor of The Lantern's Light , the store's in-house publication. A founding member of the Coven of New Gwynedd, Nichols was the first Wiccan representative on the Kansas City Interfaith Council.

Nichols is a lifelong student of the Craft and, after years of research, writing, and teaching, he still considers himself a student. He received his BA from the University of Missouri, with a double major in communications and psychology (specializing in parapsychology). He has done graduate work in the field of library and information science.

Blowing America’s Mind
A True Story of Princeton, CIA Mind Control, LSD and Zen
by John Selby and Paul Jeffrey Davids
YELLOW HAT PUBLISHING — JANUARY 2, 2018

An Insider Exposé: College Kids are Guinea Pigs in CIA’s Mind-Control Experiments

In the 1950s, the CIA had a macabre fascination with hypnosis and psychedelic drugs, and they unleashed programs to make use of them for military purposes. They lavished funds on a highly‐classified mind‐control project (which they named MK‐ULTRA) with the intent of bending the minds of enemies, foreign and domestic, and of erasing memories of secrets known to their own retired agents. As MK‐ULTRA grew into the 1960’s, their list of targets expanded to include college students – especially anti‐Vietnam‐War activists.

John Selby and Paul Jeffrey Davids, the authors of Blowing America’s
Mind: A True Story of Princeton, CIA Mind Control, LSD and Zen, were among Princeton University students in the late 1960’s who got tangled up in these secret experiments at the nearby New Jersey Neuro‐Psychiatric Institute’s Bureau of Research. Recruited and paid to experience multiple deep-hypnosis sessions (mingled with micro‐doses of LSD), Selby, Davids and students from other campuses, such as Columbia and Harvard, believed what they were told: that regular monitored experiences of this type would introduce them to a kind of ‘super‐consciousness,’ spiritual enlightenment, and even better sex. Engaged in some of the very first psychedelic research, led by famous ‘psychedelic pioneers’ such as psychiatrist Dr. Humphry Osmond, Selby and Davids got some of the positive pay‐off, but nearly lost their identities – and their minds – in the process.

This true story documents their experiences as guinea pigs in secret CIA mind‐control deep hypnosis research, and it reads like scenes in a movie – intrigue and conflict at then all‐male Princeton University, dreamy and euphoric journeys to other worlds, hormone‐and‐drug‐ induced fun and frolic, sky‐rocketing escapes from Vietnam‐era reality, and drastic changes in their states of mind and behavior. Set at Princeton, and awash in mind manipulation and near mental disintegration, as well as a being a love story, it is in some ways a cousin to A Beautiful Mind.

Selby and Davids began trying to document their experiences a few years after graduating but realized that the confessions and self‐exposure involved – the raw reality of it all – was more than they were prepared to reveal at that time. They retained their avid interest in altered consciousness, but left their story untold – until now.

“Blowing America’s Mind is a fascinating journey of love, drugs and covert governmental intrigue. Suspenseful in documenting the impact of the ‘Psychedelic Revolution’ at Princeton in the late 1960’s, the book is a complex, poignant drama detailing CIA-sponsored hypnosis and LSD research, as the famous all-male Ivy League university is on the eve of going coed and on the edge of imploding.”

— Jeremy Kagan, Professor, School of Cinematic Arts, USC, and Chairperson of Special Projects for the Directors Guild of America
