Did you See That? The Van Meter Visitor (Featuring Chad Lewis)
On October of 1903 a strange creature was said to have paid a visit to the small town of Van Meter in Iowa. 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. Descriptions of the beast suggested that it had large bat-like wings, left a terrible stench wherever it went, and, even stranger, it fired beams of bright light from its forehead.Guest Chad Lewis.Supernatural Circumstances is a co-production of Entityseeker Paranormal Research and Teachings and Good Egg Studios.

Psychokenesis (with Dr. Joe Gallenberger)
In this episode, you will hear Morgan first talk about psychokinesis, also called telekinesis. Psychokinesis in parapsychology, the action of mind on matter, in which objects are supposedly caused to move or change as a result of mental concentration upon them. The physical nature of psychokinetic effects contrasts with the cognitive quality of extrasensory perception (ESP), the other major grouping of parapsychological phenomena. The idea of psychokinesis goes far beyond Uri Gellar’s spoon bending and into the quantum.After Morgan’s segment we go on to talk with Dr. Joseph Gallenberger (https://synccreation.com/). Gallenberger is a clinical psychologist with 30 years experience. He is in demand internationally as a psychokinesis and manifestation workshop provider.Supernatural Circumstances is a co-production of Entityseeker Paranormal Research and Teachings and Good Egg Studios.

JB Rhine & Following Intuition Forward (with Mark Boccuzzi)
In this episode, we learn of the inspirational story of the father of parapsychology J.B. (Joseph Banks) Rhine. Rhine rejected faith early on in favour of a hard scientific education obtaining a Ph.D. in botany. He was eventually drawn to the paranormal, after learning of a number of cases of what he perceived as legitimate “psychic occurrences”. His intuition began to nag at him. Perhaps his earlier close-minded thinking was off base. In the second part of the episode, Morgan and Mike speak with Mark Boccuzzi of the Windbridge Institute and Windbridge Research Center. He has also taken part in studies at the Rhine Research Centre.Supernatural Circumstances is a co-production of Entityseeker Paranormal Research and Teachings and Good Egg Studios.
