Paranormal Investigation Techniques - S2 E4

You probably thought the Mothman sightings ended back in 1966 or 1967 when the alleged winged creature was claimed to have been seen in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. The last mass-reported sightings of the Mothman ended following the Silver Bridge Collapse, which claimed the lives of 46 people. However, it seems to have resurfaced (ALLEGEDLY), with more recent sightings in Ohio and Chicago and apparently, the witnesses have pictures. Well, we have questions! Below are links to additional information regarding this cryptid legend:

Red Pill or Blue Pill? Did that really happen or is it just a false memory? We jump into possibly the craziest mind phenomenology idea of them all in this episode: The Simulation Theory, with the Mandela Effect as "proof". What if we're all just living in a giant computer program? We also have a lot of fun as we discuss the Mandela Effect and go through numerous examples of things we all remember...which turned out to be FALSE! Some of these examples are going to blow your mind and make you question everything!

We continue our interview of WarDeadPool in this episode and he blows our minds as he discusses his thoughts on the missing Malaysia Flight MH370.  On March 8, 2014 at 12:42 a.m. MH370 took off from Kuala Lumpur and turned toward Beijing, climbing to its assigned cruising altitude of 35,000 feet at 1:01 am.  On board, were 12 crew members and 227 passengers,  including five children. At 1:30 am Malaysian military and civilian radar began tracking the plane as it turned around and then flew southwest over the Malay Peninsula and then northwest over the Strait of Malacca. At 2:22 am Malaysian military radar lost contact with the plane over the Andaman Sea. An Inmarsat satellite in geostationary orbit over the Indian Ocean received hourly signals from flight 370 and last detected the plane at 8:11 am. Soooo, what happened???

Here are the videos we discuss in this episode:

Today, let's talk about the Mexican Aliens. No, we're not talking about immigration but the actual alien bodies (allegedly) that were presented to the Mexican government. A very tardy, but fascinating nonetheless, WarDeadPool joins us in our discussion.  We not only dive into these alleged extraterrestrials but also Project Blue Beam and explore the idea of aliens being fallen angels.

Today, were keeping it short and not quite sweet. We venture into the world of the scary cryptid tales. Evan shares about the legend of the flesh-eater of the forest: The Wendigo. Some of you may have heard of it, some of you may not have. It's a terrifying mythical creature, nonetheless. Below are some links to some more interesting info on this beast, including an excellent article by Ben Radford.

It is with deep sadness and sorrow that we share that our co-host and brother, Paul Browning, finally took his last breath on Halloween, October 31, 2023. This was his last recorded interview. It's hard to fathom not having him around. But we know he's no longer suffering and he is finally resting, at peace, and all his questions about life and the afterlife have finally been answered. Paul, you're amazing and you will NEVER be forgotten.

Rest easy, brother! We will see you again. 

When it comes to UFO crashes, Brazil told Roswell "Hold my beer!" We're talking about the Varginha UFO incident of 1996, which is Brazil's Roswell... possibly even bigger. There's an entire town full of witnesses whose stories remained consistent over the past 27 years. Many of the witnesses are still alive and continue to reside in Varginha. Allegedly, a police officer grabbed one and took it to a hospital, and later died under mysterious pretenses. Of course, the military (both Brazil's and the US) got involved and the town was quarantined by the military. If you haven't heard of this story, you can watch the 2022 documentary "Moment of Contact" by James Fox, which was made about the incident in which numerous witnesses were interviewed, and actual news footage and interviews taken from 1996 are included. Did a UFO crash in Varginha, Brazil? Were the sightings real? We're linking more information as well as links to the documentary below.

Glad you stuck with us. We're delving into the allegedly solved mystery of the Dyatlov Pass incident of 1959. Was it a Yeti? Was it what Paul refers to as a "Slabalanche"? Was it poison? We take it one step further, however, as we uncovered a similar incident that happened in 1993 in the Khamar Daban mountain range. As always, we've linked some additional information regarding both incidents, along with an amazing website, Dyatlovpass.com, which has maps, copies of the diaries, the autopsy reports and photos, and a treasure trove of additional documentation that you definitely want to review. After listening, ask yourself: Do you think the Russians actually solved this mystery, or was it a cover-up of something more sinister? Was it a curse, yeti, or aliens? Hmmmmm.....

We're starting this season out with an interview with a witch and she's awesome! BJ Hodges is our guest tonight and well, we had questions! BJ has been practicing "witchcraft" for 20 years and we were very surprised at what we learned from her. She was very transparent about her beliefs and practices and we're very appreciative of her time.  Now, she did say that not all witches practice the same. Nonetheless, we had our eyes opened by what she shared. If you have comments or questions for BJ after listening to this episode, hit us up on our website, DM us on one of our social media sites, or shoot us an email! If you're someone who practices witchcraft differently and would also like to share, we'd love to have you on the show as well!

You ready? Let's do this!

Here's where you can learn more about BJ as well as her paranormal team:

Welp, folks! Here it is! The final episode of Season 6 and part 2 of the Lindley Street Haunting, aka Bridgeport Poltergeist, aka The Weekend From Hell, aka Not a Good AirBnB. If you didn't listen to part 1, stop now and listen to our last episode first, otherwise, you'll be lost in the  sauce as we pick up right where we left off.


Again, thank you to  author William J. Hall, whose book The World's Most Haunted House: The True Story of The Bridgeport Poltergeist on Lindley Street, contained invaluable insight and research on this topic. His book also contains copies of the actual police reports, interviews of the city officials, officers, and firefighters involved, and other rare documents. You can find this book on Amazon and pretty much in any bookstore. It is definitely worth the read.

You ready? Let's do this!
