Have you ever heard a familiar voice calling to you from another room, only to realize it couldn’t have been who you thought it was? A disembodied voice somewhere in another room yelling “Hey! Come here!”, but you know the person whose voice it seems to be isn’t home? Today we’re talking about #mimics, the eerie creepy paranormal entity that copies everything about a person except its essence, so you know something is ever so slightly off. This #entity feeds on #fear and spooks people not with an unfamiliar, new sound or figure, but with one you’re so familiar with, you wouldn’t even really think twice about replying. It preys on autopilot reactions. Perhaps even to gain permission to enter. Which, for the record you should NOT reply. In fact, you should pretend as if you didn’t hear or see anything at all…PHENOMANNOUNCEMENTS: Follow @shell.t.art on instagram!

Y'ALL THE WAY I TRIED TO UPLOAD THIS VIDEO SEVERAL TIMES TO NO AVAIL shows the spirit of La Zona Del Silencio is at play. I swear. Here was what I WANTED to upload but couldn't for the last however many hours:Imagine an area that draws literal space to it, an area that makes tech and radio signals go haywire. An area that has oddly large flora & fauna and it's eerily easy to get lost in.

Join us as we explore the lore, theories and SCIENCE behind what makes this zone so attractive to meteorites, visitors and even a strange trio if blonde humanoids?PHENOMANNOUNCEMENTS: Check out @aandmenterprises on instagram!

id you feel that? Someone just poked your shoulder. Wait which side did it come from? Turns out your brain can mix touch signals up pretty easily! Let's dive into Phantom Touch and Phantom Limbs, a phenomenon that involves both ghosts playing tricks on people and a large quantity of limbs lost, leading to an epidemic (so to speak) of Phantom Limb Pain. We packed a lot in this one! This one really sent me spiraling the more I thought about it. Let me know how you're doing!PHENOMANNOUNCEMENTS: Check out  @ashleighizienicki /@missupacey on YouTube and Instagram!

Why are #mummies such a staple Halloween costume? Is it because they truly horrified and haunted people for centuries after they saw what remained of mummified bodies? Some might even say, #cursed? Let’s talk about mummy curses! What the history and science says happened and how the #mummycurse made such an impression on people’s minds that there are books, movies and even video games about it (Does Lara Croft ever actually see a #mummy?).

You’re out on the Great American Plains, the fire is dying down and sunlight is creeping up above the horizon. The song you sang last night by the campfire is being reverberated back to you by some #unknown entity, both near and far at the same time, behind you and in front. You feel something poke your foot and it’s a #jackalope. The totally real very much 100% not fictional animals who roam the wild Midwest plains! Legend has it, if you want to attract one you leave some #whiskey in a bowl. Come day break that whiskey will be drunk and that jackalope will be dizzily hopping away. Let’s learn more about these silly little drunkards.PHENOMANNOUNCEMENTS: Check out @thewitchscottage1111 on instagram and in-person if you're in or ever around the LA area!

A manuscript with chapters about things such as Herbal, Astrological, Zodiac, Biological, Pharmaceutical, and Recipes, though no one can decipher the language it's in or what it actually means. The #voynichmanuscript is something that has continued to #confound those who try to #decode it. In fact, it has yet to be decoded and I wonder if it'll get easier or harder as time passes and we get further and further away from the reality that brought us this book. PHENOMANNOUNCEMENTS: Check out @justbeingjace on Instagram! He has awesome improv jazz shows all around LA and it's a great time if you're looking for some easy listening and a chill hang. I promise you won't be disappointed!

The only thing I thought was bottomless were mimosas at brunch but it turns out many people thought the Devil's Kettle was also #bottomless! With a cavernous hole going down further than 3 stories, who knew the #devilskettle had so many mysteries to hide? Tune in to figure out if we've gotten to the BOTTOM of this (pun intended lol). PHENOMANNOUNCEMENTS: Check out @jonosartworks on instagram! His paintings are amazing and inhabit a crazy space between realistic and painted, so so cool. I promise you'll feel nostalgic looking at his art!

Have you ever had a strong gut feeling? A strange voice warning against something? Or a straight-up vision of something to come? Premonitions don't just come in vision form, but can actually be sensed in various ways. Many times, people aren't even sure how to describe it other than it being a "feeling", but how do you warn someone of a tragedy when all you have to go in is some kind of intuition that you yourself don't even quite understand. Let's dive into instances where premonitions took shape and showed that no matter how delayed, many are just inevitable.PHENOMANNOUNCEMENTS: GO FOLLOW @ashbarstatis on instagram!! She is our lovely social media & reels coordinator at Phenomena and she is amazing! A mom of two with a heart of gold, I truly can't recommend her page enough.

Can you believe an asteroid almost crashed into the Earth in 1908? An event that flattened trees for miles, with a butterfly-shaped crash site but no crater, it serves as a reminder that the sky can throw fireballs at us whenever it feels like it. How fun. I also can’t get over the sky glowing for days after the event, that seems insane to me and if I saw that, especially in the early 1900s I’d definitely think the world was ending so I don’t know how the people who witnessed it got through it. Let us know if you knew about this crazy celestial Phenomena!PHENOMANNOUNCEMENTS: Check out @rp_artworks & @rpillustration on instagram to support art!
