Mysterious Matters: Archive - Dark Matter AM 2026

What lies beyond this great façade of physicality (realm of molecule driven illusions) is the greatest mysterious matter of them all, and the real final frontier of exploration. Professor of History, Mark Mirabello of Shawnee State University joined the program to discuss the different world traditions and beliefs on Death, Dying, and What Lies Beyond.   In this edition of the Award Winning Mysterious Matters Podcast, Bob Bain and Professor Mark Mirabello have an enlightening and controversial discussion, focusing on the various beliefs of what happens to us after we leave the physical world of perceived reality.  ►What is Death What exactly does death represent? Through our conversation Professor Mirabello discusses multiple belief systems and traditions on Life and on Death.   How do you know for a fact that you are actually alive…and not dead? ►Dream Molecules Atoms, Elements, and Molecules are all around us but what if the reason we are seeing these elements is because we are dream beings.  What if all that we can see with the naked eye, and through advanced technologies are merely elements which make up our illusion of a physical state of being. ►Where is Heaven Where is Heaven? That is a question asked by so many through thousands of years. People and even scientists have gazed into the sky, into space searching for evidence that Heaven, that God does exist.   But what if we cannot find Heaven, or God, not because they do not exist but rather because we exist inside of them. Just as we have cells running through our bodies, we may also be like living cells within the body of God.  There are some traditions that believe Humans have molecular galaxies, planets and life living within each one of us. ►Bill and Hillary Clinton’s Voodoo Honeymoon Did you know that Bill Clinton and his new wife, Hillary Clinton went on a Honeymoon to Haiti (paid for by a family friend) and took part in a Voodoo Ceremony?  If this intrigues you then listen to the podcast to find out more! ►Belief that Halloween Allows for Thinning of the Veil Thinning of the Veil is a word that describes an event that many believes actually happens every year in October.  The Veil is a fabric of space, time and frequencies—all separating physicalites (I describe physicalites as those who deem themselves as being of a physical nature) and the energy based forms of conscious beings (otherwise known as Angels, Elementals, Demons, Ghosts, Spirits, and Haints).     Every year Professor Mirabello does a lecture on Halloween at Shawnee State University. He goes through the beliefs and traditions from its purest form as originated from the Celtic harvest, and roots tied to Paganism.  These and so much more await you on Episode #81 of Mysterious Matters, the top rated Paranormal Podcast and Alternative Topic Podcast.  

John Titor II and Jason Quitt drop by Mysterious Matters and kicked off the conversation with their plans to excavate and recover an advance extraterrestrial craft (UFO) that is 300 feet across and has been on the Earth for 20,000 to 30,000 years.   The show was originally booked with our dear friend and well respected Canadian journalist, Bob Mitchell… unfortunately Bob Mitchell passed away on September 21st of 2016.   Bob was one of the utmost respected independent researchers of alien abduction claims, UFO sightings, and claims of other anomalous phenomena.   John Titor II said because of his time working at Area 51 that he would have the technical knowhow to operate the UFO. However, there might be a preset automatic course directive for when the advanced alien craft is rebooted and operational.  The conversation continues to discuss the stature of a Grey Alien in comparison to that of an Annunaki and each species’ own aerodynamic and ergonomic requirements for their own respective craft.

This (audio only edition) of the first video cast (vlog) of Mysterious Matters is due to an interview with a guest from Sweden, whose English wasn’t deemed strong enough to follow one-hundred percent. We appreciate the time spent with Ingrid Fredriksson and the message she was sharing with the audience. With that said, it was decided to tackle the question of what is consciousness, where does consciousness reside, and how does physicality relate to the overall picture of a conscious being. Bob runs through several theories that are being put out by modern day scientists and theoretical Physicists, such as Dr. Michio Kaku and Dr. Amit Goswami. Such as the theory that life as we know it—it’s an elaborate illusion, a great virtual reality classroom; and we are the students. Even the great Albert Einstein once said, "Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one”. What did he mean by that? Did Albert Einstein know something that today’s physicists are just beginning to understand? On this special edition of the Mysterious Matters Podcast, of extraordinary thoughts, we focus on if our world, our sensation of touch, pain, and even death itself is all but an elaborate illusion… made up of electrons and other subatomic particles. The answer… may be surprising. ► Physicists are coming around to the idea, which is the same idea taught through various religions for thousands of years, that consciousness does not exist because of the body-or mind- but rather the human body and mind exists because there is a sentient being which evolved into a body and mind. ► Where is consciousness derived from? What makes an inanimate object of physicality, animate and full of awareness? ► Physicality is in and of itself a misnomer When electrons come within a short distance from each other (10 to the minus 8 centimeter), they will repeal each other. That is why things, in our world of physicality, appear to be solid. When in reality, they are not solid, or physical, at all. ► A fundamental conclusion of the new physics also acknowledges that the observer creates the reality. As observers, we are personally involved with the creation of our own reality. Physicists are being forced to admit that the universe is a “mental” construction. Pioneering physicist Sir James Jeans wrote: “The stream of knowledge is heading toward a non-mechanical reality; the universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine. Mind no longer appears to be an accidental intruder into the realm of matter, we ought rather to hail it as the creator and governor of the realm of matter. (R. C. Henry, “The Mental Universe”; Nature 436:29, 2005) (14) We can no longer ignore the fact that our beliefs, perceptions and attitudes (consciousness) create the world.

John Hogue joined us for a clearer forecast for the 2016 Presidential election, and discusses who he foresees as having the highest probable chance of becoming the 45th President of the United States.  The question is asked of John, if he still sees the Clinton Dynasty returning to the White House, or if Donald Trump has upset the political equation enough to throw our nation for an unknown loop. We place John on the line with the ultimate question; “Who will become the 45th President of the United States?” Listen to the show and find out. If John is right that means his political forecasting track record would become 13-0. John also discussed September, 11th 2001 and the terrorist attack on the twin towers. We flow through what was mentioned by Nostradamus, and others who foresaw a terrible event on 9/11. Bob asked a question of John that essentially said: ► If people are able to foresee future events then why can they not warn us about them prior to said event  Toward the end of our conversation, Bob turns the topic someplace that no other host has ever asked John to go—to John's spiritual beliefs, such as: ► Where does John feel prophetic visions originate from ► Does John believe that life as we know it may actually be an advanced holographic anomaly This episode of the top rated, and award winning, Paranormal Podcast program is one you will not want to miss. 

Medical advancements are taking shape which will drastically change our lives and allow us to live for hundreds of years beyond our natural lifespan. Yet, with these blessings come complicated issues. Some of which we can predict, others we cannot fathom. What would you do if you were offered the opportunity to extend your life to an unnatural span of time (E.g.; 100 or more years on top of your natural lifespan). Would you take advantage of such advances in technology for the desire to continue living or would you rather age gracefully and die naturally? This, among other conundrums, is the focus point of discussion on today’s episode with our guest, Eve Herold.   Personally, Bob would not want to extend his life if it meant he would be 100 or 200 years removed from the last time he had seen a loved one. In this episode of Mysterious Matters, we discuss the information Eve received as she tapped the minds of leading edge doctors, scientists and engineers who are actively engaged in developing new ways of living with certain illnesses such as kidney disease, heart disease, degenerative retinal disease, and even aging itself. By utilizing once futuristic technologies and medical advancements such as Nanotechnology and Stem Cells, we will one day realize a world without need for medications. For those who are on Dialysis due to kidney failure, there is hope through an artificial kidney (being worked on now!). Those who are diabetic and depend on insulin (insulin pumps and even continuous glucose meters) we could see an artificial pancreas within the next twenty years; thereby effectively curing diabetes for those with type 1, type 1 ½, and type 2. Scientists have even found a fat gene; they have been successful in shutting it off in mice. The next step is human testing.

Loyd Auerbach joined Mysterious Matters to discuss just what Parapsychology is, and is not. In this episode, Bob and Loyd talk about the cultural differences between scientific and educational minds of the United States and the United Kingdom. As it turns out one is more open minded towards the science of Parapsychology, while the other has gone to great strides to diminish the scientific advances, which provides key evidence to real Parapsychological events.   Topics discussed on this episode include:   • Parapsychology: What it is and misconceptions • The Phillip Experiment: Lab created Poltergeist type activity • Ghosts of Gettysburg and Residual Energy • Spontaneous Human Combustion: Loyd doesn’t consider this to be caused by an inner working of consciousness but rather a biological matter • Reality based, entertainment shows such as Ghost Hunters, Ghost Adventures and Paranormal State • Metaphysical Degree Mills: Are Metaphysical degree holders lying to themselves • The Warrens: Ed and Lorraine Warren were not Parapsychologists, but were demonologists—they never investigated anything outside of proposed demon infested cases • Loyd’s experience with filming a segment for Late Night with David Letterman • Ghost Busters Movie and its influence on the modern day imagery of Ghost Investigators

Star Trek, beyond science fiction is a voyage to unveil the future of interstellar travel, and answers how Star Trek has directly influenced its progression. Beaming aboard Mysterious Matters is Andrew Fazekas—otherwise known as The Night Sky Guy.   STAR TREK: THE OFFICIAL GUIDE TO THE UNIVERSE True Science behind the Starship Voyages When Star Trek fans hear the infamous opening line “Space: the final frontier,” it usually brings to mind favorite episodes from the classic show and intergalactic worlds visited by the crew of U.S.S. Enterprise during their five-year mission. But many of the galactic destinations featured in Star Trek over the years – multiple star systems, alien worlds, supernova explosions, emission nebulae, voracious black holes – are scientifically valid, so much so that one can step out and view them in the night sky. Space fans can boldly go where no one has gone before with STAR TREK: THE OFFICIAL GUIDE TO THE UNIVERSE: True Science behind the Starship Voyages by astronomy guru and educator Andrew “The Night Sky Guy” Fazekas with a foreword by Captain Kirk, himself, William Shatner. As Star Trek celebrates its 50th anniversary in September, this big, beautiful beginner’s guide to the cosmos – planets, starts, galaxies and beyond – reveals the real science behind its fantastic and beloved fictions, inviting readers to step outside, gaze up at the night sky, and observe some of the destinations the Starfleet has visited. Fazekas takes Star Trek fans and astronomers alike on an incredible journey into space, starting with specific Star Trek voyages, explaining the science behind them, and guiding them in observing and learning more about the real-universe corollaries of planets and places in the Star Trek universe. Stunningly illustrated with more than 400 full-color images – some artists’ interpretations and some real images generated by the most recent NASA missions – plus 50 maps alongside stills of beloved Star Trek scenes and characters, STAR TREK: THE OFFICIAL GUIDE TO THE UNIVERSE is sure to open readers’ eyes to the fascinating world of astronomy while giving them a treasured bit of Star Trek memorabilia. Every chapter is a voyage of discovery. From Altair to Vega, from red giants to white dwarfs, from solar system exoplanets only beginning to be imagined, the book visits dozens of celestial objects, spotlighting some 20 in careful scientific detail and offering easy-to-follow star-gazing instructions to find them in the night sky. No warp-driven starship, not even a telescope is required to go on these voyages: Most destinations are bright enough to be seen with the naked eye. This inventive book blends science and fiction, making learning fun and making Star Trek’s 50th all the more worthy of celebration.

Before the Slender Man was created as a fictional tale—that some claim has turned into a Tulpa (power of combined thought creates a living—physical— thought form)—an event occurred that thoroughly rocked the world of three individuals in the 1990’s.  In 1990, three college students spend a long Wisconsin winter experimenting with the Ouija board; it turned out they welcomed in a psychic serial killer, known only as the Bye Bye Man.  Our guest Robert Schneck does not rebuke the story shared by his friends.  Rather, Robert questions if the messages received through the Ouija board were from a psychic serial killer—still on the roam in spirit form—or the combined subconscious effort of three college students creating an energetic manifestation from themselves. The Bye Bye Man has been made into a motion picture with a release date of December 9th, 2016. The discussion goes beyond the probabilities of the Bye Bye Man story and takes us down the darkened paths with windows gazing into the histories of such stories as; The President’s Vampire, Killer Clown Association (was John Wayne Gacy a member?), Spooky Clowns popping up, the Zodiac Killer… and Tulpas.   Book The Bye Bye Man: And Other Strange But True Tales

Scientists and theorists have speculated on the physicality of our environment.  Some have seen evidence suggesting that which we deem as physical might in fact not be physical at all—but rather a holographic imaging created by some unknown source and broadcasted to global human consciousness. That too is the hypothesis of Dr. Carl Calleman. Dr. Calleman shares his theories surrounding quantum evolution and its holographic resonance with the human mind.   

For generations, people have been captivated by the legends of King Arthur and Robin Hood.  Archaeologists and historians have argued over the existence of these legendary men, some say the legends are nothing more…others however, claim Arthur and Robin Hood very much existed. Historical researcher, Graham Phillips, believes he has found key evidence supporting a historical King Arthur, and a historical Robin Hood. Through piecing together mythological stories with known historical events, Graham proposes that he has found the lost tomb of King Arthur, as well as the Isle of Avalon. Join Mysterious Matters on this expedition to find the truths behind King Arthur and Robin Hood.  Plus! We go searching for the real William Shakespeare. Is it possible that William Shakespeare never really existed? If there was in fact a real William Shakespeare…could he have been twins—one rich, the other poor, and each taking use of the name. Find out about the historical King Arthur, the historical Robin Hood, and find out if William Shakespeare was in fact a real person on this edition of Mysterious Matters.
