34.08 - MU Podcast - Invisible Joy Ride

Strange beings appear in the dead of night. Some say they’re aliens, others aren’t so sure. In this episode, we explore unsettling encounters that seem extraterrestrial but may be something far stranger. Through the research of Nigel Watson, we uncover bizarre contact reports and ask whether these visitors come from the stars or from deep within the human mind. Then, coming up for our Plus+ members, we dig into eerie outlier cases including ghostly visitations tied to UFO phenomena and the chilling account of Betty Hill’s paranormal experiences that began even before her famous abduction.

34.07 - MU Podcast - The Orb Pilots

They’re often dismissed as harmless lights in the sky, but the glowing orbs that haunt the edges of our reality may be far more than they appear. In the quiet fields near crop circles and the forgotten corners of the world, witnesses report beings emerging from these luminous spheres. Others speak of noxious vapors, choking fog, and the sense of something watching, something intelligent. Are these orbs alive? Are they scouts, probes, or entities themselves, cloaked in shimmering disguise? For our Plus+ members, we trace the unsettling journey of a woman whose natural psychic abilities cracked open the veil. Drawn from a quiet life as a cat Reiki practitioner into a realm of spirit attachments and unseen intrusions, her world transforms into one of hidden battles and shadowy forces. Guided by intuition and haunted by the unknown, she steps deeper into the strange. We're Hiring! - The Future of Mysterious Universe & Our New Podcast in 2026 From Another World Or Beyond The Veil?

34.06 - MU Podcast - Web of the Plasma Angel

New Age communities often promote "love and light", but many hide darker influences. This episode explores clairvoyant Maya Zahira’s claims of false-light entities manipulating spiritual groups through energy healing and channeling. She describes encounters with shapeshifting beings, demonic attachments, and energy-draining cords, revealing unseen dangers in these practices. From a plasma entity posing as a divine force in a church to predatory healers exploiting trust, her experiences highlight the serious pitfalls facing spiritual seekers. We also discuss broader patterns tying these entities to concepts like the djinn. For Plus+ Members, we cover how Maya escapes these forces, her ongoing struggles after relocating, and her exposés of deceptive spiritual leaders.

Despite the fierce efforts of skeptics to dismiss the supernatural, a persistent truth emerges: countless ordinary people continue to report chilling encounters with the unknown. In this episode, we explore unsettling tales of crisis apparitions, haunted landscapes, and bizarre energies that seem to seep through the fabric of our everyday world. From phantom hands that grope in the darkness to strange portals opening in suburban homes, the phenomena refuse to be ignored. We also delve into the enduring work of psychical researchers and examine the patterns behind these mysterious intrusions into normal life. Then, for our Plus+ Members, we uncover the strange histories of lightning strike survivors, individuals who not only lived through multiple bolts from the blue but were forever changed.

34.04 - MU Podcast - The Occult Wyrm

The mystery of the Loch Ness Monster is far from settled. This episode dives deep into the legends and firsthand accounts of strange beings not only in Loch Ness but in surrounding bodies of water—creatures described as black-skinned beasts, spectral water horses, and other mythic entities that seem deeply tied to the land itself. Are these guardians of the landscape? Spirits of place? We revisit the curious investigations of Ted Holiday, whose search for the monster led him into a tangled web of high strangeness and encounters with dark, paranormal forces. Then, for our Plus+ members, we follow the remarkable journey of T.C. Lethbridge and his evolving research into the hidden energies of the Earth. After a powerful induction experience, Lethbridge claimed to glimpse what lies behind the veil—an invisible world that shapes ghost sightings, psychic phenomena, and even physical boundaries. His exploration of a haunted landscape led him to an invisible force field that defied logic and deepened the mystery of what truly haunts our world.

34.03 - MU Podcast - Treading the Infinite

In this episode, we dive into the radical theories of parapsychologist D. Scott Rogo, who suggested that many hauntings, abductions, and even poltergeist phenomena might not come from outside forces, but from within ourselves. Could we be unknowingly manifesting our own paranormal experiences? And what if some forms of mental illness or multiple personality disorder are actually cases of spirit obsession or full-blown possession? We also journey through the hidden chambers and forbidden tunnels of a world-famous institution, where ancient relics and human remains seem to stir with unrest. Staff and psychics alike report ghostly voices, locked doors opening on their own, and encounters with entities that cling to artifacts like shadows. Are these echoes of colonial violence, or the spirits of the dead refusing to be forgotten?

34.02 - MU Podcast - Underground Hybrid Vault

Eric Nanstiel lived an ordinary life as a graphic designer and single father. But buried beneath that normalcy were decades of terrifying experiences: glowing orbs emerging from closets, unexplained blackouts, and chilling encounters with beings that defy explanation. When his memories resurfaced they revealed a disturbing truth: a life entangled with non-human entities conducting invasive experiments, extracting genetic material, and showing him children he never knew he fathered. Who are they? Why do they hide underground? And what is their endgame for humanity? For our Plus+ members, we descend into the eerie folklore of Latin America, where tales of phantom black dogs and flying humanoid canines erupt from the shadows. Are they mythical guardians or manifestations linked to deeper, hidden forces? We explore their strange overlap with UFO encounters and uncover new threads in the global tapestry of high strangeness.

34.01 - MU Podcast - Cursed Exposure

Photography and the paranormal have always shared a strange chemistry—an eerie interplay of light, shadow, and the unknown. In our Season 34 opener, we venture deep into chilling accounts of cursed cameras that seem to bring death with every click, psychic photo séances where the dead imprint themselves onto film, and long-forgotten experiments suggesting photography may capture echoes of the past… or even the soul. From haunted Polaroids to Russian scientists claiming to photograph time itself, we unravel the unsettling history of spirit photography—and how it continues to haunt the present. Then in our Plus+ extension, we follow the trail into the neuroscience of DMT, exploring a controversial theory: have alien intelligences hijacked the molecule? With insights from Andrew Gallimore’s new book 'Death by Astonishment', we confront disturbing accounts of malevolent entities intercepting psychonauts, twisting ancient rituals into interdimensional traps. Could the veil be weaponized? All that and more in this new season’s unnerving opener.
