    Podcast Summary

    • Denver Airport and New World Order Conspiracy TheoriesThe Denver Airport is a focus of conspiracy theories, with some claiming it's a hub for the New World Order or Illuminati due to perceived hidden messages in its art and structures, despite lack of solid evidence.

      The Denver Airport is a subject of numerous conspiracy theories, with some believing it to be a hub for the New World Order or Illuminati, due to perceived hidden messages in its art and structures. The New World Order is a concept often associated with a secretive group of powerful individuals aiming to control the world and bring it into a dystopian state. Some theories surrounding the Denver Airport include the existence of a cursed object, controversial statues, and even changes in Peyton Manning's appearance upon entering the airport. While many of these theories lack concrete evidence, they continue to intrigue and divide opinions among the public.

    • Denver Airport and the IlluminatiThe Denver Airport is a major hub, funded by the New World Airport Commission, fueling conspiracy theories about its role as a base for the Illuminati and New World Order due to its international status and lower oxygen levels.

      The Denver Airport is believed by some to be a significant base or even the main headquarters for the Illuminati and the New World Order due to its international status and central location in the United States. The goal of these groups, according to some theories, is to establish a dominant covenant and control people through tragedy. The airport's lower oxygen level, making it unassuming yet easily accessible from major cities, is a theory as to why it might be an ideal location for such influence. The airport was actually funded by the New World Airport Commission, adding to the speculation. While this episode won't delve deeply into conspiracy theories, it's important to acknowledge the beliefs surrounding the Denver Airport and its potential significance in the larger context of the Illuminati and New World Order narratives.

    • Mysterious Airport with Masonic Symbols Fuels Conspiracy TheoriesUnearthed airport with Masonic symbols and no records of construction company sparks conspiracy theories, but alternative explanations are plausible.

      The discovery of an airport with mysterious symbols and a time capsule engraved with a masonic square and compass, along with the absence of any record of the company responsible for building it, has fueled conspiracy theories suggesting it could be a front for the New World Order. The presence of these symbols, often associated with Freemasons and the Illuminati, adds to the intrigue. However, it's essential to consider that these seemingly suspicious elements could be mere coincidences. The real question lies in whether all these coincidences add up to a conspiracy or remain isolated incidents. It's important to approach such theories with a critical mind and consider the possibility of alternative explanations.

    • Denver International Airport's Controversial ConstructionConspiracy theories claim the Denver International Airport was built with hidden agendas, excessive budget, and symbolic layout, but their validity remains unproven.

      There are conspiracy theories suggesting that the Denver International Airport was built with hidden agendas and excessive budget, including the construction of an underground bunker for the Illuminati. Some believe the airport's layout resembles a swastika, which is said to be a symbol of anti-Semitic and white supremacist ideologies. The original budget was exceeded by billions of dollars, and the payment was made by a nonexistent company. While some argue that the layout is just a common airport design, others believe it was intentionally built that way as a wink or homage to the Illuminati. Ultimately, the veracity of these theories remains unproven, but they have fueled widespread speculation and intrigue surrounding the airport's construction.

    • Symbols and structures with intriguing stories and conspiracy theoriesFrom red lines on maps to cursed statues, seemingly ordinary symbols and structures have sparked intriguing conspiracy theories throughout history, fueled by the power of imagination and the human tendency to seek meaning in the seemingly mundane.

      There are intriguing stories and conspiracy theories surrounding seemingly ordinary symbols and structures, such as the red lines on maps and the "Blucifer" statue at the Denver International Airport. These theories often question the intentions behind their creation and the significance of their unusual characteristics. For instance, the red lines on maps have been speculated to be part of a conspiracy theory involving the Illuminati, while the "Blucifer" statue, a giant blue horse, has been believed to be cursed after killing its creator during construction. Despite the lack of concrete evidence, these theories continue to intrigue and divide opinions. Additionally, the high insurance value of the statue, despite its relatively low construction cost, has fueled further speculation. Ultimately, whether these theories hold any truth or not, they serve as a reminder of the power of imagination and the human tendency to seek meaning in the seemingly mundane.

    • Myths and Misconceptions about Denver International AirportDespite numerous theories and conspiracies, there's no credible evidence to support claims that Denver International Airport is a hub for UFOs or secret government activities.

      While there are numerous theories and conspiracies surrounding the Denver International Airport, many of them are debunked or based on misinformation. For instance, the idea that the airport's coordinates were given in Steven Spielberg's "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" and lead to the Devil's Tower in Wyoming is not true. The airport's size and potential hidden sections have also been subjects of speculation, but there is no concrete evidence to support these claims. It's important to fact-check information and rely on credible sources to avoid spreading misinformation. The Denver International Airport is a large and complex facility, but it primarily serves air travel, and there is no evidence to suggest that it caters to UFOs or is a cover for secret government activities.

    • Denver International Airport: A Hub for UFOs and Mysterious Symbols?The Denver International Airport, with its size, underground tunnels, gargoyles, and controversial artwork, fuels theories of UFO landings and dark secrets, but lacks concrete evidence.

      The Denver International Airport, as discussed, is a subject of various intriguing theories. Some believe it's a hub for UFO landings due to its size and supposed underground tunnel system. Others find the presence of gargoyles, meant to be protectors, odd and even potentially evil. A painting at the airport featuring a Nazi soldier defiling symbols of peace adds to the mysterious atmosphere. Despite these theories, there's no concrete evidence to support them. The airport's unique design and artistic elements continue to fuel curiosity and speculation.

    • A powerful reminder of historical atrocities at the Denver AirportThe Denver Airport's controversial artwork, featuring a Nazi soldier with a gas mask, serves as a call to remember history and avoid repeating its darkest chapters.

      The art at the Denver Airport, specifically the image of a Nazi soldier with a gas mask, serves as a powerful and intentional reminder of historical atrocities. The soldier's prominent placement in the artwork could be seen as a cruel reminder of the past, despite the potential discomfort it may cause. The artist's decision to include such an image, amidst the backdrop of a seemingly peaceful setting, could be interpreted as a call to remember history and avoid repeating its darkest chapters. The inclusion of this image, despite its controversial nature, could also be seen as a way to confront and acknowledge the past, rather than hiding it. Overall, the artwork serves as a thought-provoking and meaningful commentary on history and the importance of remembering it.

    • New Content and Exclusive Merchandise for PatronsThe team is introducing a horror movie review segment and an exclusive enamel pen for patrons joining in 2023, adding value to their content and engagement.

      The team is excited to share new content with their audience, including a horror movie review segment and an exclusive enamel pen available only to patrons who join in 2023.

Tyler shared his passion for horror movies and the upcoming segment where he and producer Ben will review and discuss them. The enamel pen, an exclusive item for 2023 patrons, adds an element of exclusivity and collectability to their patron tiers. The team is looking forward to continuing their content creation journey and engaging with their audience.

    • Mysterious Past and Unexplained Expenses of Denver International AirportDespite conspiracy theories, the Denver International Airport's unexplained expenses and involvement of a nonexistent company fuel intrigue, but the true ownership and financing remain unknown.

      The Denver International Airport, with its mysterious past and unexplained expenses, has fueled numerous conspiracy theories. Some believe it's a secret bunker for high-ranking officials or even a hub for extraterrestrial activity. However, these theories may stem from people's desire to feel informed and in control, rather than concrete evidence. The massive budget overruns and the involvement of a nonexistent company add to the intrigue, but the true ownership and financing of the airport remain unknown. Ultimately, the Denver International Airport serves as a reminder that not everything is as it seems and that the line between fact and fiction can be blurred.

    • The Denver International Airport's Enigmatic DesignThe Denver International Airport is known for its controversial and intriguing design, featuring unusual architecture, artistic choices, and rumors of hidden meanings and potential underground structures. The gargoyles, in particular, have sparked debate, with some suggesting they represent protection or hold significance to conspiracy theories.

      The Denver International Airport is shrouded in controversy and intrigue due to various elements, including unusual architecture, artistic choices, and rumors of hidden meanings and potential underground structures. Some believe these features hold significance to conspiracy theories, such as the new world order or the presence of a cursed statue. Others argue these elements are simply artistic choices or intended to represent protection. The gargoyles, in particular, have sparked debate, with some suggesting they were created as a form of protection against the new world order or as a reminder of past conflicts. The overall artistic style of the airport, which includes disturbing imagery, further fuels speculation and intrigue. Ultimately, the true intentions behind these elements remain unclear, leaving many to ponder the significance of the Denver International Airport's enigmatic design.

    • Denver International Airport: A hotbed for conspiracy theoriesThe unusual design choices at Denver International Airport, combined with the rise of social media, have fueled the spread of conspiracy theories surrounding the facility, with people believing that those involved intentionally display symbols and the airport serving as a platform for their allegiance.

      The Denver International Airport conspiracy theories may have gained traction due to the unusual design choices and ample time for observation during long layovers. People's curiosity, combined with the rise of social media, led to the spread of these theories. The belief system behind these conspiracies is rooted in the idea that those involved intentionally display symbols, and the airport serves as a platform for these individuals to showcase their allegiance. The airport's unique architecture, which some perceive as satanic or evil, adds fuel to the fire, with theories gaining momentum as early as 2008, around the time social media platforms like Facebook were becoming popular. The airport's large size and lengthy wait times offer ample opportunity for observation and speculation, making it a fertile ground for conspiracy theories to take root and spread.

    • The Denver Airport's Hidden ArtworkThe Denver Airport's stressful environment makes it easy for hidden artwork to go unnoticed, sparking conspiracy theories and intrigue.

      The Denver Airport, with its high foot traffic and urgent energy, might be the perfect place for hidden artwork to go unnoticed. The speaker expresses skepticism about the conspiracy theories surrounding the airport's gargoyles and the New World Order, but acknowledges the strange and intriguing aspects of the artwork. The airport's stressful environment, with people rushing to catch flights and dealing with anxiety, can make it easy for art to blend into the background. The speaker expresses a desire to visit Denver and explore the city beyond the airport, and encourages listeners to check out the podcast's Patreon for bonus content. Overall, the discussion highlights the intrigue and mystery surrounding the Denver Airport's artwork and the human tendency to notice the unusual in high-traffic environments.

    • Acknowledging significant moments through shared experiencesRecognizing relatable content fosters connection and understanding, bringing people together through shared experiences.

      That the engraving serves as a memorable symbol for acknowledging significant moments, specifically when one can relate to or agree with what is being expressed. This part of the episode, where the audience is encouraged to respond with a "yep," signifies acknowledgement and connection with the content being presented.

    The Demonic Attachment Felix

    The Demonic Attachment Felix
    We have 3 listener submissions this week!

    Story 1-
    In 2010, Stephanie and her boyfriend's family moved into a spacious rental house that seemed perfect at first. Shortly after moving in, Stephanie experienced a frightening incident in the bathroom when an unseen presence tried to open the door while she was showering.
    Weeks later, she heard unexplained growling in the hallway, and her boyfriend's mother, Deborah, saw a shadowy figure in her bathroom and kitchen. Throughout their stay, the family encountered numerous unexplained occurrences, including constantly unlocked doors, an unusual accumulation of dead flies, and mysterious symbols etched inside cabinets that weren't there when they moved in.
    Despite the unsettling experiences, the family stayed in the house for a year before moving out. After leaving the property, Stephanie and her boyfriend's family stopped experiencing paranormal activity.

    Story 2-
    Throughout his childhood, Josh experienced several paranormal encounters in his family home, including seeing an elderly man in rags and shadowy figures roaming the halls. At age 5, Josh was so terrified by these nightly apparitions that he would sleep on his mother's bedroom floor, unaware that he was sleep-talking about "black robes" to her.
    Years later, as a teenager, Josh had a vivid sleep paralysis episode involving a burned figure and a woman instructing him to bleed the radiators, which he seemingly did in reality while asleep.
    After this incident, Josh developed an unexplained scar on his right shoulder that resembled a burn mark, adding a physical dimension to his supernatural experiences.

    Story 3-
    Sophia (anonymous) lived with her brother John and a roommate named Melissa, who claimed to have a demon attachment and practiced occult activities in their shared house. One night, while home alone, Sophia experienced an inexplicable incident where furniture was rearranged and kitchen cabinets were opened without any apparent explanation.
    A subsequent paranormal investigation revealed the presence of multiple entities in the house, including a potentially malevolent spirit.
    Following this event, Sophia experienced ongoing paranormal activity, including shadow figures, strange noises, and physical sensations, until she moved out of the house in March 2020, after which the haunting phenomena ceased.

    The Warped Faces and Shadow Entity

    The Warped Faces and Shadow Entity
    It's listener submission time and we have two creepy tales for you today! In the first story, Chris and his friend Mike were interested in the paranormal and started using a Ouija board. Initially, nothing unusual happened, but then they connected with a spirit named Adam Greene. They asked for signs of his presence, and the planchette spun rapidly and flew off the board. Another time, they heard slow, pounding footsteps behind a sheet hung in the doorway, followed by a flash of light. 
    Over time, Adam's messages turned darker and insulting, and he seemed to shift to an evil persona named "Fuzzy". Paranormal events intensified. Chris had an out-of-body dream where he flew over Mike and his parents. Mike revealed they had all seen a shadow fly over them in real life. Chris believes the entity may have been the demon Zozo based on the double Z in the name, the evil energy, and the bad luck they experienced, including Mike's uncle passing away. Eventually, they stopped using the board as too many disturbing things were happening.
    Story #2 involves Robin.
    When Robin was six, his friend Jason's father took them to a cemetery in the woods at 2-3am after giving them beer. They opened a grave, saw a skeleton, then heard loud footsteps and shrieking. Soon after, Robin began seeing terrifying faces peeking into his room at night that would vanish when he looked directly at them. It caused him great fear, keeping him up at night. One time, he woke to see a face at the foot of his bed staring at him, then his covers flew off by themselves. He ran out of the house in terror. At age 16, Robin returned to the cemetery with friends and was chased off by the angry landowner. That night, they all had the same nightmare of a ghostly female figure screaming at them from the disturbed grave. Now at 21, Robin still sees the scary faces and also hears disembodied sounds. Most frighteningly, he sees a tall, pitch-black figure darker than the surrounding darkness appearing in doorways and on the stairs. It sometimes charges at him on all fours before vanishing. Photos never capture this haunting presence. Robin doesn't believe enough in God to get an exorcism, so he is trying to cope with the ongoing supernatural torment.

    Mike is the author of the best-selling books A Walk In The Shadows, and Alaska's Mysterious Triangle, as well as several historic paranormal books. His latest best-selling book is Travels Through Time: Inside the Fourth Dimension, Time Travel, and Stacked Time Theory, published in 2023.

    For more than six years he has hosted The Edge of the Rabbit Hole livestream show and also hosts the Connecting the Universe interactive class. He operates his own book publishing and video production company, Haunted Road Media, representing a number of authors, and winning the award for Excellent Media in The Paranormal Field at the 2019 Shockfest Film Festival.Mike’s historic paranormal articles have been published in The Baltimore Sun, Paranormal Underground Magazine, and he previously wrote an Oklahoma City paranormal column for Examiner.com (2010 – 2014).

    In this interview, Mike Ricksecker discusses his personal experiences with shadow entities and other supernatural phenomena that set him on his current path. He explains his "stacked time" theory, proposing that time is not linear but that past, present and future exist concurrently. Ricksecker suggests some ghostly encounters may actually be "time slips" where two moments resonate at the same frequency. He also shares insights on the unique energy and phenomena of the Alaska Triangle, the possible link between aliens and shadow people, and his view that while some shadow entities may be demonic, interdimensional, or extraterrestrial, we shouldn't overgeneralize them as all being evil. Finally, Ricksecker discusses astral projection and his belief that the key to time travel lies in achieving specific meditative states, something challenging for busy modern lifestyles. His ideas provide an open-ended, thought-provoking perspective on the paranormal.

    The Kelly Cahill Alien Abduction

    The Kelly Cahill Alien Abduction
    In August 1993, Kelly Cahill, a 27-year-old mother of three from Victoria, Australia, experienced a life-changing UFO encounter. While driving home from a party with her husband, Andrew, they witnessed a mysterious craft with orange lights in a nearby field.
    Later that night, they encountered the same object hovering above the road, and as they approached it, they saw figures inside before it disappeared.
    Suddenly, a bright light engulfed their car, and they experienced a mysterious blackout, losing an hour of time. In the following weeks, Kelly and her husband suffered from various inexplicable symptoms, including headaches, nausea, and fatigue. Kelly discovered a strange triangular mark and a scar on her body. As her memories of the encounter began to resurface, she recalled being approached by tall, thin, black figures with luminous red eyes.
    Despite the entities' telepathic reassurances, Kelly felt an overwhelming sense of evil and terror. Kelly reached out to Bill Chalker, a renowned UFO researcher, who investigated the incident and discovered additional witnesses who had similar experiences that night.
    The investigation uncovered physical evidence at the site, including chemical and magnetic anomalies, unusual radiation readings, and inexplicable marks in the field. As Kelly's story gained media attention, she became a prominent figure in the UFO research community. She appeared on television shows, participated in conferences, and authored a book titled "Encounter:
    The True Story." Despite the incredible nature of her account, Kelly Cahill has been consistently regarded as a credible witness, with no history of mental illness or apparent motive for deception. Her experience remains one of the most compelling and well-documented cases in UFO history.

    Finland's Myths and Monsters

    Finland's Myths and Monsters
    Finland, a land of breathtaking landscapes and rich history, is home to a captivating array of mythical creatures and tales.
    From the depths of the sea to the heart of the forest, these legends have been woven into the fabric of Finnish culture for centuries. The malevolent Iku-Turso, known as the "ox of death" and "father of diseases," lurks in the ocean's depths, while the mischievous Menninkäinen, reminiscent of hobbits and gnomes, dance in the woods and delight in riddles and shiny treasures. 
    In the vast forests, one may encounter the shape-shifting Peikko, giant trolls feared as bogeymen who kidnap and torture children.
    The enchanting Keiju, delicate fairy-like beings, grace the skies and woodlands in three distinct forms: Luonnotar, Ilmatar, and Metsänneito. The enigmatic Hiisi, towering humanoid creatures, dwell in the mountains and forests, marking sacred sites and challenging those who dare to enter their domain.
    These powerful spirits can be both malevolent and beneficial, causing harm or offering aid when summoned by skilled shamans. The Näkki, a seaweed-clad immortal water demon, haunts the depths of ponds and rivers, luring unsuspecting children to their watery graves. Only through the utterance of magical incantations can one hope to escape its grasp.
    Lastly, the majestic Otso, the king of the forest and bear spirit, is revered as a friend, brother, or even a transformed human, symbolizing the deep connection between the Finnish people and the natural world.
    These mythical beings, each with their unique characteristics and stories, continue to capture the imagination and inspire awe in those who explore the fascinating realm of Finnish mythology.

    Sleep Paralysis Stories: Vol 1

    Sleep Paralysis Stories: Vol 1
    Sleep Paralysis Stories: Volume 1

    Over the years we have had tons of listeners submit potential sleep paralysis stories, so we decided to combine a handful of them into a new, unique listener submission collection - sleep paralysis stories!
    Sleep paralysis is a terrifying experience where individuals find themselves conscious but unable to move, often accompanied by hallucinations of shadow figures, entities, and the infamous "old hag."
    Theories range from supernatural encounters to a dream-like state caused by the brain's inability to control the body during sleep. People from various locations have shared their unsettling experiences, highlighting the fear and helplessness felt during these episodes.
    Some individuals, like Madison, have had sleep paralysis for years, with recurring visions of a woman in a 1920s dress and the mysterious "Hat Man." Despite the initial terror, Madison eventually found comfort in these encounters, particularly during a difficult period in her life when a shadow figure appeared to offer support. Alex, on the other hand, had a particularly vivid experience involving a menacing dog and a shadowy figure, leaving him questioning the line between reality and dreams.
    Zacharia, a 15-year-old living in an old San Francisco house, has been sensitive to the paranormal for years. He has seen balls of light, experienced unexplained occurrences, and even encountered an apparition he calls "George."
    Recently, Zacharia has been experiencing nightly episodes of sleep paralysis, accompanied by strange noises and a feeling of being weighed down, leading him to believe that a poltergeist may be responsible.
    Kieren, who has had various paranormal encounters, including UFO sightings and experiences with spirits, learned about sleep paralysis through his studies as a biology major.
    While his first experience was relatively tame, a subsequent episode involved a shadow person appearing in the corner of his eye. By reminding himself that it was a trick of the mind and focusing on relaxing his muscles, Kieren was able to make the shadow disappear and regain control of his body.

    The Contorting Entity Hugo

    The Contorting Entity Hugo
    The Contorting Entity Hugo

    It's listener submission time again! The listener has requested to stay anonymous, so as always, we got a Sophia story!

    From a young age, Sophia possessed an innate sensitivity to the paranormal, able to sense the emotions and energy of those around her, including spirits. Despite her belief in ghosts, she had never directly encountered a shadow person until she was 12 or 13 years old. 
    In her bedroom, she began to feel a presence watching her, which she eventually named "Hugo." Initially, the presence seemed benign, but after a series of unsettling events, including a lotion bottle mysteriously moving and recurring dreams of Hugo clinging to her wall with large, black eyes, Sophia's fear grew, forcing her to seek refuge in her sister's room. 
    Sophia's family home in Georgia, shared by her parents, sister, and grandparents, held its own secrets. She always felt nervous in her grandparents' house, hearing strange noises at night that were dismissed as the settling of an old house.
    As a young adult, while living in a nearby mother-in-law suite with her fiancé, Sophia experienced intense feelings of panic and unease when alone in the main house, particularly while using the bathroom. These feelings eventually subsided, only to be replaced by scratching sounds and other unexplained occurrences.
    One morning, while Sophia's grandfather was confined to a hospital bed in the living room, she heard knocking and footsteps while showering. The footsteps ran down the hallway towards the spare rooms, but the door, known for its loud creak, never opened. When Sophia emerged from the bathroom, she found the door still shut and her grandfather claiming to have heard nothing.
    Shaken, she quickly left the house, marking the end of her personal encounters in the family home. Despite the passing of her grandfather, Sophia's grandmother (Nanny) continues to reside in the house, claiming to have friendly encounters with ghosts.
    Both Sophia and her Nanny have experienced moments that felt like the presence of her late grandfather, leaving them to wonder about the reality of their experiences. Though the fear was genuine at the time, Sophia now reflects on these events with a sense of curiosity and wonder, forever changed by her journey through the paranormal.

    229 - Denver International Airport Conspiracies

    229 - Denver International Airport Conspiracies

    The Denver Airport was built by the New World Order. The Denver Airport contains the international headquarters of the Illuminati. Collectively, the Satanic art installations of the Denver International Airport point towards an impending planned apocalypse. The Denver International Airport is built atop a massive underground city built to house the global elite after the lizard Illuminati brings about the apocalypse. These are just SOME of the conspiracies that have floated around on the web regarding DIA since it opened in February 1995. Today on Timesuck, I address these conspiracies and others and then walk through how the accusations are either simply not possible or how there are perfectly reasonable explanations behind aspects of DIA that have been accused of being nefarious in nature. I poke logic holes in many of the conspiracies because I am ONE OF THE REPTILIAN ELITE! JOIN ME WHEN WE SOON GATHER UNDER THE DENVER AIRPORT TO BRING ABOUT A NEW WORLD ORDER! Jk?
