  • The Crossover: Are All Paranormal Phenomena Connected? – Marcus Lowth

    Paranormal researcher & writer Marcus Lowth (UFO Insight, co-host of The Anomaly Project) joins Kristian Lander & Caroline McKendrick Gibson for a gripping exploration of "the crossover" — the idea that UFOs, alien abductions, poltergeists, cryptids, shadow people, portals and high-strangeness locations may all emerge from the same underlying mechanism or intelligence.

    From EM-sensitive hotspots and sulphur odours to personal time slips, grief-triggered activity, trickster entities and consciousness as the key interface — Marcus blends research, historical cases and his own unsettling experiences into one unifying (and provocative) framework.

    Whether you lean toward interdimensional tricksters, portal theories or consciousness-driven manifestations, this episode will leave you questioning where one phenomenon ends and another begins.

Learn about the psychology behind OBEs, emotional detachment, time glitches, and why they might explain real ghosts.

  • Haunted Canada After Dark: Jails, Mills & Things That Shouldn’t Exist

    From the original Boston (UK) now living in Ottawa, ex-RAF & emergency services veteran Lee Hatfield is our guest and he takes you inside some of Canada's most haunted locations.

    Hear real Class-A EVPs captured in abandoned jails, unexplained footsteps in deserted mills, child spirits giggling in the dark, and a double-breath caught inches from the investigator.

    We go inside SDG Jail (bodies still under the yard), the terrifying Watson's Mill, the remote Mill of Kintail, and a creepy Addams Family-style Airbnb crawling with spirits.

    This is boots-on-the-ground, no-nonsense paranormal investigation in Ontario — scientific method first, then spirit communication. If you love real ghost evidence and Canadian hauntings, this one's for you.

    Dive into the enigma of interstellar Comet 3I Atlas with Amethyst Grey in this captivating Seriously Strange session! With her physics degree, she approaches the topic with equal fascination and interest. From its bizarre non-gravitational acceleration, mysterious blue hue, green coma, and course corrections with almost no outgassing, to the explosive Avi Loeb light-sail hypothesis and whispers of artificial origin, Amethyst unpacks why this object continues to defy science and spark wild speculation. We explore remote viewing claims, Hopi and Baba Vanga prophecies, high nickel composition hinting at alien tech, comparisons to ‘Oumuamua, and the big question: are we ready for what 3I Atlas might really be?
