Passion for the Paranormal

Episode 110: On this episode, long time investigator, researcher, author and speaker, Stan Gordon, joins me once again on the show. Since 1965, Stan has been conducting on scene investigations of mysterious encounters in Pennsylvania. He has been involved with the examination of thousands of UFO and other strange reports from across the Keystone State. During the late 1960's, Stan acted as a telephone report sighting coordinator for the UFO Research Institute of Pittsburgh. Stan has been internationally recognized as an authority on the subject of the UFO and Bigfoot phenomena. He gained prominence from his first hand investigation into the well remembered 1973 Bigfoot/UFO series of sightings and encounters which occurred in Pennsylvania. This outbreak brought worldwide attention to the subject.

Stan talked about how at 16 years old, the Kecksburg UFO incident helped launch him into his lifelong research into strange and unexplained activity across Pennsylvania and the Chestnut Ridge. Stan recapped his investigation into some of the strangest activity, in include many strange Bigfoot sightings, to include ones where strange balls of light have been witnessed and Bigfoot creatures with glowing eyes have simply vanished in plain sight. He also talked about some recent cases of reports of people seeing strange balls or spheres of light, which appeared to have an effect on some of the people who witnessed them.

John has investigated over 80 haunted locations and has written several paranormal themed books. He is also a regular guest on radio and television shows and has also spoken at paranormal conferences.

John joined me to talked about shapeshifting, based on the work from his book, Shapeshifters: A History. John talked about some of the shapeshifting legends and stories and described how he believes that shapeshifting may not be a literal physical transformation, but may instead be a mental projection of something that appears to change form. We talked about how this could relate to the paranormal and to extraterrestrials, who some claim have the ability to change their form, perhaps through some sort of mental projection.

We also discussed how people throughout history have been so enamored with the idea of shapeshifting and why so many people in our culture today our still fascinated with the subject, even if it may be fictional type shapeshifters, such as vampires and werewolves.

Episode 101: On this episode, during the intro I summarize the May 17th Congressional hearings on UFOs / UAPs, which included comments from several congressmen, to include Representatives Andre Carson, Eric Crawford, Adam Shiff and Mike Gallagher. Two defense officials attended the hearings and answered questions. The defense officials were The Deputy Director of Naval Intelligence, Scott Bray and Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security, Ronald Moultrie. Surprisingly, some of the hard hitting questions came from Republican Rep of Wisconsin, Mike Gallagher. He asked about covert initiatives between the Air Force's Project Blue Book and AATIP, about UFOs shutting down missile silos over Malstrom AFB and about the veracity of the infamous Wilson-Davis Memo, which alleged that there are ongoing Special Access Programs within the US government concerning UFOs. The following URL provides a good summary of the hearing. https://theobservermagazine.substack.com/p/congress-asks-whats-a-ufo?s=rReportage%20within%20the%20%22UFO-literate%20Community%22%20of%20the%20May%2017th%20House%20hearing%20on%20UFOs/UAPs%20tends%20to%20be%20more%20detailed%20than%20in%20the%20mainstream%20media.%20%3Ci%3EThe%20Observer%3C/i%3E%20covers%20%22The%20Basics.
