This very special episode of Mysterious Universe marks the end of an extraordinary era. After nearly two decades, we are honoured to pass the reins to a talented new team who will carry the legacy forward. Join us as we introduce new hosts Brandon and Joe, and reflect on the remarkable journey of MU—celebrating the unforgettable moments, the strange and wondrous discoveries, the challenges we’ve faced, and everything in between. It has been an incredible adventure, and we would be delighted to have you with us as we close this chapter together.
We’re also excited to share that the guys will return next week with a brand-new episode, and we will be joining you again with our new podcast, Inescapable, launching in mid-February 2026.
Thank you, truly, for your unwavering support, your kindness, and your belief in us over the years. None of this would have been possible without you, and we are deeply grateful to have shared this journey with such an extraordinary audience.

34.22 - MU Podcast - Tomb Raider
A cache of looted relics, stolen bones, and vanished cultures sets the stage as we explore the astonishing true story of Don Miller, the Indiana retiree whose quiet suburban home concealed one of the largest illicit artifact collections in U.S. history. From the FBI’s painstaking recovery and repatriation efforts to the worldwide scramble over sacred objects, we trace how one man’s obsession spiraled into an international archaeological scandal.
Then for our Plus+ members we crack open old issues of Psychic Australian to uncover tales of Nazi UFO experiments, Hitler’s alleged Antarctic escape, and the shadowy blueprints of a secret Fourth Reich, before shifting closer to home with eerie accounts of hauntings, strange lights, and ghostly encounters echoing through the misty streets and sandstone cliffs of Katoomba.

34.19 - MU Podcast - Phantom Predators
Shadows gather at the edges of quiet forests and lonely backroads where people report encounters with figures that seem neither fully human nor animal. They speak of upright wolves, phantom predators and beings that watch with knowing eyes before slipping back into the dark as though they were never there at all. On the episode we follow these chilling accounts, explore the patterns within them and ask what kind of world exists just beyond the firelight.
In the Plus+ extension the wilderness gives way to a different kind of unknown. We explore the strange and compelling world of channelling, where messages arrive through unconscious writing and unseen hands seem to guide the pen. Some believe these communications offer comfort or guidance but others warn they are unpredictable forces that do not always come in kindness. Once you open the door you cannot always choose who steps through.

34.18 - MU Podcast - The Unseen War
It’s Halloween, and fittingly, our stories take a dark and eerie turn. We begin with the unsettling accounts of a psychiatrist whose faith is tested by cases of possession, patients climbing walls with unnatural strength, resisting sedatives, and channeling violent entities. From there, we delve into reports of demonic warfare waged by a modern exorcist and explore the harrowing case of a woman whose kundalini awakening spiraled into years of spiritual battle. Then, for our Plus+ Members, we confront brushes with the Grim Reaper, chilling cinematic style premonitions, and one of the most dangerously haunted homes ever investigated.

34.16 - MU Podcast - Guests from the Sky
A chilling pattern runs through centuries of human contact with beings that straddle the line between alien and spirit. On this episode, we explore strange abductions, parasitic intelligences, and the disturbing theme of energy vampirism that surfaces across Eastern lore and modern UFO accounts. From the luminous visitors of ancient skies to entities that drain vitality and manipulate human perception, we uncover how these encounters reveal an enduring presence, one that feeds on fear, thrives in shadow, and may be far older than we dare to imagine. Then for our Plus+ members, we venture into dark and eerie cemeteries and hear stories of encounters with all kinds of strange supernatural beings, asking the question: is the thrill of a potential scare worth encountering one of these otherworldly guardians?

34.15 - MU Podcast - Flames of the Unknown
Could unknown energies be linked with spontaneous human combustion? On this episode, we trace the eerie patterns of unexplained fires that affect not just humans but animals as well. Drawing on the work of famed researchers, we explore the theory that these mysterious burnings may align along invisible ley lines, suggesting a hidden geophysical force that could be responsible for this unexplained phenomenon. From people found consumed by inner fire to livestock and pets inexplicably scorched, as documented by Jenny Randles in Spontaneous Human Combustion and Larry E. Arnold in Ablaze!, the evidence hints at a strange energy connecting these events. We follow the trail of fire to uncover whether the Earth itself could be the unseen spark behind these baffling flames.
Then for our Plus+ Members we explore the stunning follow up to Children of the Greys and hear how their sinister hybrid program is still in effect.

34.14 - MU Podcast - Path of the Rain Gods
Across cultures, dragons and serpents have been revered as rain spirits and storm bringers, their myths echoing an ancient recognition of nature’s hidden intelligence. In this episode, we explore the enigmatic Makara Naga motif, a storm cloud beast entwined with a serpent, and consider whether it encodes knowledge of atmospheric rivers and towering clouds long before modern science. Then for our Plus+ members we journey into the blue ether to contemplate the nature of time and hear the stories of those who have slipped through its cracks and returned to tell their tale.
