For more than twenty years, the United States government funded a classified program that attempted to use psychic abilities for intelligence gathering.

It was called Project Stargate.

Beginning in the early 1970s at the height of the Cold War, the CIA and U.S. Army quietly invested millions of dollars into researching remote viewing. The alleged ability to perceive distant locations using only the human mind. The program moved through multiple code names including SCANATE, GRILL FLAME, CENTER LANE, SUN STREAK, and finally STAR GATE. It operated out of an old wooden barracks at Fort Meade, Maryland. It was classified as a Special Access Program. And it was briefed to Congress twice a year.

The goal was simple in theory. Determine whether consciousness could access information across time and space. If it could, weaponize it.

In this episode of Paranormal Directive 13, we investigate the full history of Project Stargate. From the Soviet psychic arms race panic of the 1970s to the operational claims of locating downed aircraft and describing secret submarines. We break down the structure of remote viewing, the concept of the Matrix, ideograms, Analytical Overlay, and the six stage training protocol developed at Stanford Research Institute.

Then we examine the most controversial session in the entire archive. The May 22, 1984 Mars remote viewing transcript. A session that described pyramids, a dying civilization, tall thin beings in stasis chambers, and a scouting party that may have traveled to Earth. We separate what the document actually says from what internet headlines later claimed.

We also break down the 1995 American Institutes for Research evaluation that ultimately terminated the program. Jessica Utts argued the laboratory results showed statistically significant anomalous cognition. Ray Hyman argued the methodology was flawed and operationally useless. The CIA concluded that after 23 years and 20 million dollars, the program had never produced actionable intelligence.

But that is not where the story ends.

We explore the Gateway Process, Hemi Sync, Ingo Swann’s claims about structures on the far side of the Moon, the session summary labeled Galactic Federation HQS, and how declassified files became fuel for modern conspiracy culture.

If it was all nonsense, why did it last twenty three years?

If it worked, why was it shut down?

And if the lab results showed anomalies, what exactly were they detecting?

This is the story of the psychic arms race, the mythos that grew from it, and the doubt that still lingers.

In the year 2000, a user calling himself John Titor appeared on obscure internet forums claiming to be a soldier from the year 2036.

He didn’t just tell stories.

He provided schematics.

He explained black hole physics.

He described a coming American civil war, a Russian nuclear strike in 2015, and a fractured nation rebuilding from the ashes.

Most dismissed him as a hoax.

Until one detail, involving an obscure 1975 computer called the IBM 5100, was confirmed years later… and it wasn’t information that should have been publicly available at the time.

But that’s not the strangest part.

Titor claimed he wasn’t traveling through our past, but to a parallel worldline, one that diverged slightly from his own. In his framework, failed predictions don’t disprove him. They prove timeline divergence.

And then there’s the 2564 problem.

According to researchers inside the Titor narrative, time travel forward stops at the year 2564. Beyond that point: nothing. No Earth. No sound. No matter. Just void.

Tonight, we go deep.

The IBM secret.

The C204 gravity distortion unit.

The civil war that never happened.

The Many-Worlds shield that makes the story impossible to falsify.

The Florida lawyers who may have been behind it.

The hyperstition theory.

The savepoint loop.

And the unsettling possibility that John Titor didn’t fail at all.

Because if timeline divergence is real…

How would we know this wasn’t the branch he came to create?

This is the complete John Titor file.

For years, people have been asking the same question:

What really happens when the powerful believe they’re untouchable?

Long before modern scandals and “lists” dominated headlines, Britain’s elite were already gathering in secret. Beneath a quiet English hillside, a quarter-mile of tunnels carved into chalk became the private playground of politicians, aristocrats, and men who believed morality was optional.

They called themselves the Monks of Medmenham.

The Knights of St. Francis.

History remembers them as the Hellfire Club.

They held mock religious ceremonies beneath a church altar.

They dressed in robes.

They crossed a river named after the boundary between the living and the dead.

And then the hauntings began.

In this episode of Paranormal Directive 13, we descend into the Hellfire Caves — one of Britain’s most infamous secret societies and one of its most active paranormal locations.

Shadow figures.

Chanting in empty chambers.

A man searching for his stolen heart.

A bride in white who never made it out.

Is this just history repeating itself?

Or did something get left behind in those tunnels?

Because when the powerful go underground, sometimes they don’t come back alone.

On August 5th, 1993, a group of seven experienced hikers set out across a high ridge in the Khamar-Daban mountains of southern Siberia. They were trained. They were prepared. They were led by a veteran instructor who had guided expeditions for decades.

Within an hour, six of them were dead.

According to the only survivor, a seventeen-year-old girl named Valentina, the collapse happened fast. Too fast. One hiker began screaming and convulsing. Foam poured from his mouth. Something darker followed. Moments later, their leader went down. Then another. Then another. People ran. People hid. One woman beat her head against a rock. Some of them tore off their clothes in freezing wind and sleet.

And Valentina watched it all happen.

Officially, the cause of death was hypothermia. Exposure. Exhaustion. A tragic but explainable wilderness accident.

But the details don’t line up.

Hypothermia doesn’t usually kill an entire group at the same time. It doesn’t explain convulsions, panic, bleeding, or the speed of the collapse. It doesn’t explain why experienced hikers lost all coordination at once, or why one teenager remained calm, made rational decisions, and walked off the mountain alone.

In this episode of Paranormal Directive 13, we take a deep dive into the Khamar-Daban incident, often compared to the Dyatlov Pass tragedy, but in some ways even more disturbing. We reconstruct the expedition step by step, examine survivor testimony, analyze the official findings, and explore competing explanations ranging from mass panic and physiological collapse to infrasound and toxic exposure.

And through it all, one question refuses to go away:

If this was just bad weather… why did it break them all at once?

For more than a century, something strange has been reported in the woods of New Hampshire.

Witnesses describe a small, dark, upright creature fast, aggressive, and disturbingly familiar. Too small to be a bear. Too wrong to be a dog. And moving in a way animals aren’t supposed to.

Locals called it the Devil Monkey.

In this episode, I’m guest-spotting with the guys from Weirder After Dark to dig into the history, the sightings, and the uncomfortable consistency behind this strange New England cryptid. From 19th-century encounters to modern reports, we break down what people actually saw and why this case refuses to go away.

Was it a misidentified animal?

A regional cryptid?

Or something else entirely that just happened to pick New Hampshire as home?

Because whatever it was…

It wasn’t acting lost.

And it didn’t act afraid.

This week, we’re switching things up. Last week we really went hard into the Bennington Triangle, so I figured we could us a little palate cleanser.

Instead of a traditional full episode, I stitched together three of my favorite Patreon minisodes to give non-Patreon listeners a taste of the chaos happening behind the paywall.

We start with The Russian Sleep Experiment, one of the most infamous and disturbing stories ever passed around the internet. Then we dive into The Wyoming Incident, a creepy broadcast hijacking that still raises way too many unanswered questions. And finally… we completely derail into a 20-minute rant about how the sun is way too hot and is absolutely part of some larger conspiracy. No, I will not be taking questions at this time.

If you’ve ever wondered what the Patreon minisodes are like, this is your free trial.

If you already know… yeah, this one gets weird.

Enjoy the sampler. Sunglasses recommended.

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.
