For episode #56 we are joined by author Paul Weston. In an idea laden show we cover the significance of one's own landing coordinates, 'what’s happening around you in your formative years' and Paul takes us through growing up in the sixties on into the seventies and to the concept of Hauntology, which he has many thoughts on.  

We then come back round to discuss patterns through time that manifest in culture and settle in the 90’s and how its importance in time is yet to fully come to fruition.

We discuss the influence of the childhood and teenage experiences which formed the interest in his chosen field of expertise and Dr Hunter takes us on a journey through his field work in mediumship at the Bristol Spirit Lodge to his thoughts on how we develop a more harmonious relationship between the human and non-human worlds and how the development of communication with a spirit is a process.

In January 1959, ten experienced young skiers set out for Mount Otorten in the far north of Russia. While one of the skiers fell ill and returned., the remaining nine lost their way and ended up on another mountain slope known as Kholat Syakhl (or ‘Mountain of the Dead’).   

On the night of 1 February 1959 something or someone caused the skiers to flee their tent in such terror that they used knives to slash their way out. Search parties were sent out and their bodies were found, some with massive internal injuries but with no external marks on them.   

The autopsy stated the violent injuries were caused by ‘an unknown compelling force’. The area was sealed off for years by the authorities and the full events of that night remained unexplained. Using original research carried out in Russia and photographs from the skier's cameras, author and researcher Keith McCloskey joins us today to explore  what happened to the nine young people who lost their lives in the mysterious ‘Dyatlov Pass Incident’.  

All of the known negatives taken from the group’s cameras were examined in great detail. What they show is that not only were the group present on Mountain of the Dead that last night, but they were also watching something that was going on in the night sky.  Keith also discusses the Mansi, the tribes people of the area, their spiritual beliefs and folklore and how they fit into the mystery.  

In the plus show Keith discusses the occurrences of lights in the sky in the area including meteors and how the bodies gave off traces of radiation and what he believes this to indicate. Theories of KGB involvement.

For episode 51 we welcome author, landscape punk and creator of Hookland and AvalonCon speaker David Southwell.   

Show Notes:

Mana Aelin is a shadowsinger, artist, intuitive reader, otherwordian traveler, witch, and cemetery walker. Hailing from the depths of the Underworld, Mana often finds themselves connecting with wolfish creatures of this plane and others, baneful plants, and those who live in constant liminality.

Mana hosts the brilliant “The Real Witches of the End Times,” a podcast where magick and paranormal folk share their stories for an audience of not-just-witches, living people, or humans.

A fun and interesting show we chat about the trials and tribulations of starting your own podcast, imaginary friends, spirit portraits and developing a relationship with a fae entity. We discuss the parallels in our own journeys and how travel thins the veil between worlds. There was also a very weird occurrence in that I seemed to know exactly what Mana was going to say on several occasions!
