September 20, 2024 — Tillie Treadwell on Nonhumans Versus Humans

Coming September 20 to The Paracast: Gene and cohost Tim Swartz welcome back the one and only Tillie Treadwell, a modern day author and paranormal scholar. In her own words, she is a conscious experiencer of phenomena, having had what she fully believes to be personal, true encounters with The Mandela Effect, wild nightcrawlers, the Glimmer Man, UFOs, nonhuman people such as the fae and others, and odd glitches in time. In past years, Tillie co-headed a paranormal investigation and was a key component in a local, official exorcism team in blessing with leadership from the Catholic church. During this episode there will be an extensive discussion of the best-selling book from former Pentagon official Luis Elizondo, "Imminent: Inside the Pentagon's Hunt for UFOs." Does it provide any new information on finding a resolution to the mystery? Tillie will also explain why she prefers what she prefers "nonhumans" to humans. Except for your friendly Paracast hosts we hope. Tillie is a contributor, along with Sean Casteel, Gene and Tim, to their latest book "Weird Time — Exploring the Mysteries of Time and Space." She also provides regular, exclusive articles for the International Dogman Project and The Quad Coalition of Sciences, and has reached an agreement with fellow writer and speaker Joshua Cutchin to produce a new book together in the near future.

September 15, 2024 — Dean Bertram on "The Man Who Invented Flying Saucers"

Gene and cohost Tim Swartz present a return visit from Dean Bertram, who has a Ph.D in history from the University of Sydney, Australia. His doctoral dissertation was titled “Flying Saucer Culture: An Historical Survey of American UFO Belief.” During this episode, he'll talk about his upcoming documentary, "The Man Who Invented Flying Saucers," about Raymond A. Palmer, notorious for introducing the legendary Shaver Mystery to the readers of Amazing Stories, the sci-fi magazine he edited. Bertram will reveal how the flying saucers were first discussed in that magazine, and expanded upon in Fate magazine, a pulp magazine Palmer co-founded and edited. The dark history of the UFO field, beginning with Men In Black, was chronicled by Palmer and the "original" flying saucer witness, Kenneth Arnold, in their book, "The Coming of Saucers." Bertram is also a filmmaker and film festival programmer. Over 75 years after the modern UFO era began, Bertram, an Australian expatriate and UFO historian, found himself living in central Wisconsin: In a neighboring county to the one Palmer called home, and just a short, back-road, commute to the rural property where Palmer ran his UFO publishing company. In the 1960s and 1970s, Gene visited the homes of Palmer and Shaver, and interviewed both.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-paracast-the-gold-standard-of-paranormal-radio--6203433/support.

Harary is also a book author and his latest titles include "My Paranormal Life: Supernatural Stories From a Hollywood Insider" (Bear Manor Media) and "Five" (Genius Book Publishing) a dark-fiction novella.
