Mysterious Universe

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?

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.

Few psychiatrists have ventured beyond the confines of Western clinical thinking. Dr. Ralph Allison was one of the rare exceptions. While treating patients diagnosed with multiple personality disorder, he began to encounter alters that were far more than psychological fragments. These were fully formed, autonomous entities with their own histories, intentions, and, in some cases, violent desires. Some existed to protect. Others sought total control. A few wanted their host dead. In our Plus+ extension, we explore the surreal world of bizarre hauntings, where shadowy dwarfs creep through bedroom doors, water-dwelling trolls stir beneath the surface, and mischievous gnomes blur the line between folklore and intrusion.

Can unseen forces truly take hold of a human life? In this episode, we explore disturbing phenomenon of spirit possession — not just as religious dogma or psychiatric diagnosis, but as a real-world enigma that challenges both science and faith. While some cases can be dismissed, others present undeniable signs: levitation, supernatural strength, bizarre skin markings, and personalities that emerge with impossible knowledge. We examine the terrifying case of Maurice Theriault, whose possession was caught on video, and revisit the diary that inspired The Exorcist, revealing a world where invisible entities — the so-called “Mutated Ghosts” — may be infiltrating the vulnerable. Are these truly demons, or something far more deceptive?

When is a dream just a dream? Could recurring visions of a futuristic Tokyo—one with neon-lit skyways, android garrisons, and flooded shopping malls—be something more? This week, we look at the extraordinary story of a woman who’s been visiting the same future city since early childhood. Through years of out-of-body experiences and strange astral journeys, her vision of this place became increasingly vivid, consistent, and shockingly detailed. But everything changed when a friend revealed she’d been dreaming of the same exact world. Is this a shared hallucination, a soul memory, or a glimpse into a parallel incarnation? And what does it mean when a shaman tells you… your soul is missing? Then for our Plus+ Members, we unravel a bizarre tale of astrology parties gone wrong, tarot reader curses, and a chilling explanation rooted in the ancient concept of ether. We explore how curses might propagate through a spiritual substance, and how paranormal phenomena could be supercharged by emotional trauma, magnetic fields… or bad wine and a few too many crystal balls.
