Supernatural Circumstances

Cultures have been telling stories of Shadow People for eons, often explaining their presence through the lens of their particular cultures, including their religious beliefs. The Quran, for example, has stories of pitch-black entities with human-like shapes, called Jinn, that were created from fire. These things were neither purely spiritual or physical in nature, but something in between.It’s arguable whether or not the star of this week’s episode, the Hat Man, is one of these Shadow People. Some people believe it is, but others think Hat Man is something even more sinister, able to interact directly with humanity, manipulating our reality for his own evil purposes.First, Morgan will give us a brief description of The Hat Man and a bit of his history. Later, we will hear from our guest, Heidi Hollis. From her website, HeidiHollis.com, She is the first author to write about the topic of Shadow People® and The Hat Man®, giving them both their descriptive names to describe these dark menaces now interrupting lives around the globe. Heidi Hollis is the first to have taken them on in her book The Secret War, which details her personal story in dealing with Shadow People, and how positive and negative alien beings are connected to them!Supernatural Circumstances is a co-production of Entityseeker Paranormal Research and Teachings and Good Egg Studios.

Is art the pathway to the less accessible, darker parts of our consciousness? It seems to be the way for us to examine and understand things that would be too frightening and ugly for us to connect to in a direct way.  In this episode, we’ll hear from Morgan as she addresses some scary tales and creatures that seem to have come from humanity’s darkest reaches. Later we will hear our interview with artist, Mister Sam Shearon. Mister Sam Shearon is a British dark artist born in Liverpool, England.

Several respected members of the community told of a mysterious winged creature that terrorized some of the town's residents during several nights in the course of the week.
