This week on Paranormal Directive 13, we’re joined by Sean, Chris, and Cathy from Weirder After Dark for a deep, no-hand-holding walk into one of New England’s most infamous mystery zones: the Bennington Triangle.

The Bennington Triangle didn’t exist until 1992.

The disappearances did.

Between 1945 and 1950, five people vanished in the mountains of southwestern Vermont hunters, hikers, a college student, a child.... leaving behind no clear answers. Decades later, folklorist Joseph A. Citro gave those tragedies a name, and a legend was born.

In this crossover episode with Weirder After Dark, we revisit the Famous Five through original sources, examine the stories that didn’t make the list, and trace the much older history of a landscape the Abenaki warned was not meant for the living. From the man-eating stone and vanished stagecoach travelers to crushed bodies, missing towns, magnetic anomalies, and modern survivor accounts, we ask a harder question:

Does it matter if the Bennington Triangle was invented if the fear, the loss, and the danger are still real?

This isn’t a debunking.

It’s not a verdict.

It’s a conversation one that sits with the folklore, challenges the mythology, and lets the land speak for itself.

In this episode of Paranormal Directive 13, I’m joined by Vince, the mind behind the Instagram page UAP_Pod, for an open, no-script conversation about aliens, UFOs, and where the disclosure conversation actually stands right now.

We talk about how Vince got pulled into the UAP world, what made him start documenting encounters, and why so many experiences go unreported. We get into his encounter journal, patterns he’s noticed in reports, and how people can better document the strange things that happen to them.

From there, the conversation widens covering favorite alien cases, personal beliefs about non-human intelligence, the Fermi Paradox, government transparency, and what “disclosure” even means anymore. We also dig into controversial figures, interstellar objects like 3I/ATLAS, and the possibility that the truth about UFOs might be far stranger and more uncomfortable than a simple yes-or-no answer.

No definitive conclusions. No clean answers. Just a grounded, curious discussion about one of the biggest unanswered questions of our time: are we alone, or have we never been?

On September 12th, 1952, a strange red light streaked across the sky over a quiet town in West Virginia.

Seven people followed it. What they encountered on a dark hillside would leave them violently ill, traumatized for life, and at the center of one of the most disturbing close-encounter cases in American history.

They described a towering figure with a glowing red face, self-illuminating eyes, a metallic body, and a presence that didn’t move like anything living. The air burned their throats. The smell lingered for hours. One of them, the dog, didn’t survive.

The U.S. Air Force investigated and closed the case as a meteor, a barn owl, and mass hysteria.

But the details don’t line up.

The size.

The movement.

The chemical-like symptoms.

And the pulsing red object that drew them up the hill in the first place.

This is the story of the Flatwoods Monster: one of the most documented, dismissed, and unresolved encounters ever recorded.

And seventy years later, no explanation accounts for everything that happened that night.

Every December 5th, across the Alpine regions of Europe, men put on carved wooden masks, strap bells to their bodies, and become Krampus: the winter enforcer, the punisher, the thing that hunts in the dark. It’s called tradition.

But there’s a story the runners whisper when the cameras are off.

They count the masks before the run. Twelve.

They count the men. Twelve.

But during the chaos… someone always notices there are thirteen.

In this episode of Paranormal Directive 13, we trace the true history of Krampus. From ancient Pagan winter spirits and Christian attempts to chain the devil, to America’s Belshnickel tradition and modern Krampuslauf violence that still sends people to the hospital every year. We examine documented injuries, police reports, bans, riots, and the unsettling psychology of ritual masks that don’t just hide the wearer, but change them.

And then we ask the question nobody wants to ask out loud:

What if the rituals aren’t symbolic?

What if belief, fear, and repetition have built something real?

Because when you put on the mask…

you might not be the only one wearing it.

In the mid-1960s, according to a series of leaked documents and insider claims, the United States government made a decision so extreme it still defies belief: It sent human beings off-world as part of a secret exchange program with a non-human intelligence.

The project was allegedly called SERPO.

Twelve military specialists. Thirteen years on another planet. No official records. No public acknowledgment. And no clear way to separate truth from disinformation.

In this episode of Paranormal Directive 13, we tell the SERPO story straight, before pulling back the curtain on the Cold War secrecy, black-budget programs, and intelligence architecture that may have made a story like this possible… whether it actually happened or not.

We examine:

• The origins of Project SERPO and its connection to Majestic 12
• How Special Access Programs and compartmentalization work in reality
• Why government disinformation doesn’t necessarily mean “nothing happened”
• And why stories like SERPO, the Moon landings, and UFO mythology follow the same structural patterns

This isn’t about proving aliens exist.

It’s about understanding how secrecy, silence, and perception shape reality. And how easily truth can disappear inside the system built to protect it.

This is the final chapter of our deep dive into one of the most persistent conspiracy theories of all time.

In Part Three of the Moon Landing Hoax series, we move past rumors, vibes, and cherry-picked clips, and into the engineering, physics, and hard realities that either make Apollo possible… or expose it as impossible.

We break down the actual evolution of U.S. rocketry, from Redstone to Saturn V, and explain why Apollo wasn’t a sudden technological leap, it was the final rung on a ladder built over decades. We examine the rockets, fuels, engines, guidance systems, and orbital mechanics that conspiracy theorists claim couldn’t exist in the 1960s and why those claims fall apart under scrutiny.

From there, we tackle the visual “proof” that dominates social media today:

• The flag “waving” in a vacuum
• The missing stars
• Diverging shadows
• Crosshairs disappearing
• The infamous “C” rock
• Astronaut movement, dust behavior, and wire claims
• The Lunar Module exhaust that “doesn’t look right”

We also dismantle modern viral arguments, including the Nixon landline phone call, the “lost technology” myth, Elon Musk and von Braun quotes taken out of context, and why modern missions like Artemis and Starship are not proof Apollo was fake but proof of how different mission architecture really is.

This isn’t about blind trust in NASA.

It’s about understanding what would have been impossible to fake in 1969 and why the evidence we still have today refuses to go away.

This is Part Three.

This is the final word on the Moon Landing Hoax.

Keep investigating the unknown.

In Part 2 of our deep-dive into the Moon Landing Hoax claims, we crack open the weirdest, most viral, and most misunderstood pieces of the entire conspiracy puzzle.

Tonight, we’re talking:

🚀 Secret Moon Bases and the infamous 1959 Project Horizon

⚔️ Nazi “Dark Fleet” myths and the Antarctic escape legends

📁 Majestic-12, alien treaties, and the documents the FBI called “bogus”

❄️ Operation Highjump and the rumor that Byrd fought UFOs at the South Pole

☢️ The Van Allen Belts and whether they’re actually a cosmic death barrier

🛰️ The 2014 Orion “we still can’t cross the belts” viral NASA video

🪨 Moon rocks - the real science, the Antarctica myth, and the Dutch petrified wood fiasco

📼 The deathbed confession video and why its story falls apart on basic inspection

This is the episode where the conspiracy theories get wild. Nazi moon fortresses, alien alliances, radiation belts, fake moon rocks, and a chunk of petrified wood that accidentally became a global “gotcha.”

Through all of it, we take every claim head-on: the evidence, the misunderstandings, the physics, the folklore, the internet exaggerations, and the parts people conveniently leave out.

And at the end, we set the stage for Part 3, where we’ll break down the refueling conspiracy, the flag-waving myth, the boots-and-footprints argument, the “impossible” phone call, the blast crater, and the rest of the classic Apollo hoax claims.

If you’re ready for secret bases, Cold War paranoia, Nazi space fantasies, deadly radiation myths, and moon rocks that weren’t actually moon rocks…

In July of 1969, the world watched as human beings took their first steps on another world. But what most people don’t know is how close the Apollo program came to collapsing long before anyone ever touched the lunar surface.

In Part One of our Apollo deep-dive, Paranormal Directive 13 takes you inside the capsule for a fully immersive, moment-by-moment retelling of the first Moon landing from the thunder of the Saturn V launch, to the terrifying descent of the Lunar Module, to the instant Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin touched down at Tranquility Base with only seconds of fuel remaining. You’ll feel every vibration, every alarm, every decision that stood between survival and disaster.

Then we rewind the clock.

This episode explores the brutal and bloody road that led to Apollo 11, including the Cold War desperation that launched the Space Race, the political pressures that forced NASA into an impossible deadline, and the tragedy that almost ended the program forever: the Apollo 1 fire, where three astronauts burned alive during a ground test because of fatal design flaws and rushing schedules.

From there, we follow the dangerous climb back:

• The tense first return to space after the fire
• The first humans to orbit the Moon
• The terrifying near-losses during critical rehearsal missions
• The lightning-struck launch of Apollo 12
• And the catastrophic explosion of Apollo 13 that nearly stranded three men in deep space

Along the way, we break down what astronauts actually did on the lunar surface, the experiments they left behind, the ancient Moon rocks they returned to Earth, and why the Apollo missions remain one of the most technically complex achievements in human history.

But just as the story reaches its greatest triumph… a darker question begins to form.

Despite mountains of data, thousands of photographs, international tracking, and living witnesses, millions of people still believe the Moon landings were faked.

Was it the greatest achievement in human history…

Or the greatest deception ever pulled off?

Part One ends where certainty fades and doubt begins.

In Part Two, we’ll tear apart the conspiracy theories piece by piece. From the missing tapes and “waving” flag, to radiation claims, studio-filming accusations, and the hard physical evidence that either proves the landings were real… or exposes the ultimate lie.

Until then, keep looking up.

In the winter of 1803, a ghost began stalking the dark lanes of Hammersmith, a small village on the edge of London. Witnesses described a tall figure dressed in white, drifting through the churchyard, attacking travelers, terrifying horses, and, according to reports, frightening two women to death. Panic spread fast. Patrols formed. Guns were loaded. Every shadow became a threat. And then, on January 3rd, 1804, a man finally confronted the “ghost.”

He raised his weapon. He shouted a warning. He fired through the fog.

But the ghost wasn’t a ghost at all.

Tonight on Paranormal Directive 13, we dive into the chilling true story of The Hammersmith Ghost. One of Britain’s most infamous hauntings, a murder born from mass hysteria, and the case that changed English criminal law for nearly 200 years. We’ll walk through the encounters, the escalating fear, the tragic shooting, the sensational Old Bailey trial, and the legal legacy that still echoes today.

Was Hammersmith truly haunted?

Was it a hoax gone wrong?

Or was it a community so gripped by fear that the line between the living and the dead completely vanished?

Join me for a full, immersive deep-dive into ghosts, paranoia, tragedy, and the night a man died because another believed he was shooting a spirit.

If you love historical hauntings, true crime, dark folklore, and immersive storytelling, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.

Step into one of the strangest and most unsettling encounters in modern paranormal history. In this episode of Paranormal Directive 13, we dive deep into the mysterious case of All Colors Sam, the Sandown Clown, a seven-foot entity encountered by two children on the Isle of Wight in 1973.

What began as a weird sound in the marshlands turned into a face-to-face meeting with an otherworldly figure, a vanishing metallic hut, and a thirty-minute conversation that has haunted witnesses for over fifty years. Was Sam an alien, an interdimensional traveler, a folkloric trickster, or something we don’t have a name for? Why did adults nearby seem completely unaware of the encounter? And why did one of the original witnesses later claim that Sam returned multiple times throughout the 1980s?

This episode breaks down:

• The full narrative of the Sandown encounter
• Newly resurfaced claims from the original witness
• Theories ranging from the Fae, to ultraterrestrials, to stranded alien scouts
• How this bizarre case has become modern folklore
• Why researchers believe this might be one of the most overlooked humanoid encounters ever recorded

Whether you’re into UFOs, cryptids, ghosts, or the deeply weird edges of folklore, the Sandown Clown is a case that refuses to fit into any box, and may be far stranger than anyone realized.

Join us as we unravel one of the most enigmatic, eerie, and unforgettable encounters in the paranormal world.
