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.

The Life of Medium Eileen J. Garrett
Eileen J. Garrett is considered by many as one of the most active mediums of the twentieth century and known for her objective approach to psi phenomena. Naturally sensitive from a young age to things psychic, as an adult Eileen began to formally hone her skills under the direction of James Hewat McKenzie at the British College of Psychic Science in the 1920s. “I have a gift, a capacity — a delusion, if you will — called ‘psychic,’” Mrs. Garrett wrote in her book of personal memoirs, Adventures in the Supernormal (1943). “I have been called many things, from a charlatan to a miracle woman. I am, at least, neither of these.” First Morgan tells Eileen’s life story, highlighting some of the famous medium’s involvement in some well-known experiments in psychical research with the aim to gain a better understanding of supernormal perception. She is known for her co-founding of, and tireless work within, The Parapsychology Foundation.Later Morgan and Mike interview Eileen Garrett’s granddaughter, Lisette Coly, who has served as Vice President of the Parapsychology Foundation since 1978, charged with maintaining the foundation’s valuable library which is struggling to stay afloat in these difficult times.

The Dyatolov Incident: Was it Yeti? (with Lyle Blackburn)
In this episode Supernatural Circumstances we take a look at the possible involvement of the Yeti in one of the most enduring mysteries of modern times, the Incident at Dyatalov Pass and whether Yeti might have been involved. Mike covered this story in Chapter 13 of the Perpetual Puzzles section of his bestselling book, Murder, Madness and Mayhem, available at fine booksellers now. The story began in 1959, in the Northern Ural Mountains on Kholat Syakhl, which translated from the local Mansi dialect means "Dead Mountain". A group of nine experienced hikers, two women and eight men, on a skiing expedition from the Ural Polytechnic Institute in Yekaterinburg, Russia, died on the mountain that February under mysterious circumstances. The site was later named Dyatlov Pass in memory of the group’s leader, 23-year-old Igor Alekseyevich Dyatlov. There are many theories about what happened - some say avalanche, some say something more sinister occurred. No one is left to tell us the truth.Later in the show we’ll chat with Lyle Blackburn, cryptozoologist, podcaster and musician. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Science of ESP (featuring Nancy Zingrone)
Have you ever picked up the phone only to find the person you’re about to call is already on the line and the phone has not even rung yet? Have you had a dream about something that later on came true? Has someone, just out of the blue started talking about something that’s been on your mind almost word for word. I have. We al have if we’re honest about it. What is with that? Are these merely coincidences in an otherwise random world, like the skeptics would have you believe? Or, is there something more cosmic to it? Some people call it ESP. In this episode Morgan dives into the topic with gusto and later we have a conversation with the always fascinating, Nancy Zingrone, a Research fellow at Parapsychology Foundation, Inc. and Professor at Northcentral University.
