  • Codex Gigas; The Devil's Bible

    In today’s episode, I am going to share what I have learned about the Codex Gigas. Over the last 800 years, this massive book has intrigued those who have had the chance to view it in person. Superstitious warnings and supernatural tales are linked to the Codex Gigas. It is even said that one of the books past owners had developed an unhealthy obsession with it.

    According to legend, the monk who is credited for producing this massive text actually had help in its creation. It is said that when God wouldn’t answer the monks calls for help, he prayed for the assistance of another. And It was the Devil who stepped forward to answer his call.

  • Garnet Ghost Town, Montana, USA

    In today’s episode, I will be exploring what I have found out about Garnet Montana. This historical mining town is a well known destination for ghost town enthusiasts. But it is also becoming well known in the circles of those attracted to the strange and unusual. There are some articles out there that claim it is challenging to get volunteers to commit to living in Garnet for one reason; and this is due to the reports of paranormal activity.

  • Madame Marie Laveau, Voodoo Queen of New Orleans

    In today’s episode, I will be sharing what I have learned about Madame Marie Laveau.

This exploration has taken me back into my studies on voodoo, and brought to light some of the truths about this powerful woman, and her spiritual practice, that can only be found if you dive below the surface of the head lines.

    In this episode, I will be exploring the town of Drumheller, Alberta, Canada. Though Drumheller is known for the plethora of dinosaur fossils uncovered along the red deer river, this episode will be focusing on the darker side of the town. There seems to be a high occurrence of paranormal activity reported in this valley. Within the homes, businesses, and secret tunnels that are hidden beneath the original buildings that are part of this historical mining town.
