Classic Episode: July 20, 2014 — Ghost Rockets: James Carrion
Gene and Chris present James Carrion, a former Director of MUFON and author of a unique book about what is called "The Greatest Deception in History." "The Rosetta Deception" is a fascinating piece of detective work explaining how "a master group of magicians" found ways to, among other things, unearth Soviet spies in the U.S. But it doesn't stop there. What about the early UFO cases, such as the Ghost Rockets, and were they real events, or the products of a carefully crafted program of deception and disinformation? And do such activities continue to the present day, and how do they impact research into UFOs?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-paracast-the-gold-standard-of-paranormal-radio--6203433/support.

August 24, 2025 — Ghost & Bigfoot Hunter Michael A. Kozlowski
Gene and cohost Tim Swartz introduce ghost/Bigfoot author and researcher Michael A. Kozlowski. He is author of Bigfoot Sightings: True Tales From Across America, available from all major booksellers including Amazon. His research into the world of the strange and the unknown over the years has focused mainly on ghost sightings and the ongoing Bigfoot mystery. After a careful study, he has come up with a fairly mundane conclusion of the latter, whether these strange creatures represent a paranormal phenomenon or whether they represent an Earth-based species of some sort. Michael lives in Detroit, Michigan with his fiancé, Christen, and a whole gaggle of animals. He is an auto engineer, a singer/songwriter, an avid golfer, a huge sports fan (especially of his hometown Lions), and loves traveling and exploring. In the literary field, he has written a range of books and stories in the horror fiction and paranormal investigation genres, including the first two books in his mystery/suspense/zombie apocalypse thriller mashup, Angel of Death and Fallen Angel, and Visible Ink Press’ American Ghost Stories.
