April 06, 2024 What Happened to JFK's Brain?
Tonight, you and I are going to be investigating a familiar event in US history. However, we’re not going to be looking at it in the usual way. Why would we? This is the ParaReality Podcast, and one thing we definitely don’t do is look at things in a normal way.
We're going to investigate a conspiracy theory within a conspiracy theory. A mystery wrapped in an enigma. It’s an almost 60-year-old cold case that has just been begging to be solved, yet there is very little evidence as to who committed the crime, or why. All we have is circumstantial evidence and speculation.
On Nov. 22, 1963, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, who was president of the United States, was assassinated while driving through Dallas, Texas. He was emergently taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital, where he was officially pronounced dead at 1:00 PM local time. Later that night, his brain, or what was left of it, was removed during his autopsy and has been the subject of controversy, speculation and conspiracy theories ever since.
America has been perplexed by the whereabouts of JFK's brain since 1966 when it mysteriously disappeared from the National Archives.
Almost sixty years later, there are still those in the United States who ponder the true culprits behind John F. Kennedy's assassination. However, another inquiry looms large: What became of JFK's brain?
While the late president's body rests at Arlington National Cemetery, his brain has remained missing since 1966. Was it pilfered to cover up evidence? Snatched by his brother? Or could it be that the brain was substituted before it even went missing?

March 18, 2024 The Tylenol Murders
A series of unexplained deaths in Chicago in 1982 starts a nationwide manhunt. The victims are connected by one frightening detail: It looks like all these people took Tylenol and died the same day.
Almost every home and hospital in America had Tylenol in them somewhere. But what if these people weren’t killed at random? Can the elusive killer finally be identified and brought to justice?
Who actually committed the Chicago Tylenol murders? Was it career con man, or was it a self-described closet chemist? Or perhaps it was one of the most famous domestic terrorists in the history of the United States. Tonight I will uncover the top theories surrounding an ongoing FBI investigation into the over 40 year old case and maybe bring into light some information that you’ve never heard of. Can this elusive killer finally be brought to justice?

March 03, 2024 The Yucca Man
In and around the Mojave desert, there have been reports of mysterious creatures, given different names like the Mojave Bigfoot, Sierra Highway Devil, and Marvin of the Mojave. Locals in the Antelope Valley area might recognize these terms as referring to a local cryptid known as the Yucca Man. This creature is believed to be a version of the legendary Bigfoot adapted to desert life. It's said to inhabit parts of Southern California, Nevada, and Arizona, with sightings dating back to the 1970s, particularly in the Antelope Valley area.
The Yucca Man was first sighted on a night in 1971 at the Twentynine Palms Marine base. Different versions of the story exist, but generally, it's told that a marine guard who was on duty was found the next morning unconscious, with his rifle bent in half. According to the Marine, a large, hairy figure emerged from the darkness and approached him. The Marine tried to stop the figure by raising his rifle and giving orders, but the creature took the rifle and bent it in half. The Marine was then knocked out. The creature was described as having glowing red eyes and a foul smell.
Both the FBI and CIA were involved in investigating the incident, but the details of their findings remain unclear. There were apparently at least two other sightings of similar figures on that same night. One report mentioned a 12-foot-tall figure accompanied by a smaller one. Other accounts came from people whose dogs were constantly barking at something in the area.
Just who, or what is the Yucca Man? Is he a Sasquatch, or some version of him, like a cousin? Is he a completely different cryptid? Is he an alien? Or is he actually just the figment of overactive imaginations?

February 05, 2024 Le Loyon
In the early 2000’s the shadow of a man dressed in leathers, wearing a gas mask and soldier camo, haunted the forest of Maules, in Switzerland’s Canton of Fribourg. He would walk the same path and always linger just long enough for some passerby to catch a glimpse. They called him Le Loyon, “The Ghost Of Maules”.
He was only seen in brief glimpses. Those who encountered him said that while he never showed any aggression towards them, they nevertheless were left with feelings of uneasiness.
This Le Loyon was an Urban Legend that was spoken about only in hushed whispers. The citizens of Maules were frightened of him, though they couldn’t actually prove that he even existed.
That all came to an end in 2013 when the only picture of Le Loyon was captured by an unknown photographer. Soon after that, Le Loyon disappeared completely.
Some say that he committed suicide. Others say that he transitioned into something else, not of this plane. Just who, or what, was Le Loyon? What were the circumstances behind his appearances? What happened to him?

December 03, 2023 Update About the Podcast
It has been a while since I've recorded and uploaded a new episode of the ParaReality Podcast and I'm sure that many of you have been wondering what has been going on. Unfortunately for me, I was involved in an accident the week before Thanksgiving, which required me to be hospitalized for several days. I also had to undergo surgery and have my left patella reconstructed and some hardware placed in my knee.

As a result of that, I've now got an old-school plaster cast on my left leg that goes from my upper thigh to my toes, and my left leg is completely straight. I am confined to a bed until Dec. 26, and whenever I do get up, I have to have assistance. I can only walk with the use of a walker, and can only go short distances.

This means that I am unable to get into the Secret Bunker to record new episodes for the next several weeks. Therefore, I have no choice but to take a hiatus from the podcast for a while so I can concentrate on my recovery. I wish that I could have been able to update everyone sooner, however I just haven't felt like it, to be completely honest.

I don't know how long I will be out, however I will keep you all updated on my social media. The links can be found by clicking on the "Podcast Links" button at the top of this website. I'm not much for sharing a lot of personal information, however I will post weekly updates on my recovery and timeline to return to recording the podcast.

September 02, 2023 Maui Wildfire
In the aftermath of the devastating wildfires in Maui, misinformation and conspiracy theories have spread online, underscoring the shortcomings of social media firms’ enforcement policies following disasters.
Conspiracy theories including that the fire was started intentionally by a secret “energy weapon” and that a shadowy cabal of global elites set the blazes purposefully to clear the land for their own nefarious uses have gained popularity.
What’s real, and what’s nothing more than fringe Conspiracy Theorists trying to get their 15 minutes of fame in? And…how can you tell the two apart?
That’s what I’ll be talking about tonight, and hopefully by the end of this episode, you’ll have a better idea of what’s real and what isn’t.
