    Podcast Summary

    • Exploring the Concept Behind the App RandonauticaThe app Randonautica encourages random navigation, referencing the Italian word 'nautica'. It's creators discuss quantum theory and magical thinking, but clarify they're not the same. The app has an unusual graphic design and offers a free version with a premium option. Overall, it encourages exploration and questioning reality.

      The app Randonautica, which promotes random navigation, is based on the concept of nautica, which means navigation in Italian. The creators of the app explain their motivation behind it in a YouTube video accessible through the app. The discussion also touched upon the possibility of thoughts influencing the environment, referencing quantum theory and magical thinking. However, it was clarified that these concepts are not the same, and quantum theory is a scientific theory, while magical thinking is a belief or practice. The app, which is free with a premium version offering better points, has an unusual graphic design featuring an owl and the name "Ranonautica." The name may refer to wisdom or insight, and the owl symbol could represent knowledge or navigation. Overall, the episode explored the unusual and questioned the believability of the concept behind the app, encouraging listeners to consider the possibilities and to reach out with suggestions for future episodes.

    • Exploring the World with Among Us: A Popular Mobile Game During the PandemicAmong Us is a free mobile game that promotes exploration, community engagement, and social media sharing through generating random coordinates based on players' locations, earning daily resetting points, and encouraging players to share their adventures online.

      Among Us, a free mobile game, gained popularity during the pandemic by encouraging players to explore their surroundings and share their experiences on social media. The game uses a player's location to generate random coordinates, creating a challenge out of the mundane activity of walking and exercising. Players earn points, which reset daily, and can find more points in areas with high concentrations. The game promotes community engagement by encouraging players to share their adventures on social media platforms like Twitter and Reddit. The name "tenants" for the rules is a pretentious choice from the game's creator. The game's success on TikTok is significant, making it a popular trend. Players can collect more points in areas with high concentrations, called attractors, and fewer points in void areas. Anomalies are extreme versions of voids and attractors. The game doesn't involve direct competition with other players, but the chances of finding an anomaly in a void area are higher. Overall, Among Us is a creative and engaging game that encourages exploration, community building, and social media sharing.

    • Intentions and expectations shape our happinessSetting realistic expectations and focusing on intentions can lead to improved happiness and well-being, as our minds have the power to positively spin outcomes.

      Our intentions and expectations play a significant role in our overall happiness and well-being. This concept was discussed in relation to an app that generates random results based on user's intentions. According to our conversation, there are two approaches to interpreting the significance of this app - scientific and supernatural. From a scientific perspective, our expectations shape our response to outcomes, regardless of their actual value. For instance, a person who gets 20 downloads on their podcast may be happier than another person who gets 500, depending on their expectations. This shows that we have the power to mentally put a positive spin on things and control our reactions. However, it's important to note that this doesn't discount the struggles of people dealing with mental health issues. From a supernatural perspective, the app could be seen as a tool for harnessing the power of positive thinking and manifesting our intentions into reality. Overall, the discussion highlights the importance of setting realistic expectations and focusing on our intentions to improve our overall happiness and well-being.

    • The power of observation and belief in shaping realityOur beliefs and observations can influence our experiences and the world around us, as seen in quantum theory and the use of apps like Randonautica.

      Our observations and beliefs can have an impact on reality, as explored in the concept of quantum theory and the idea of the observer effect. This idea is reflected in the use of the Randonautica app, which may not directly create events, but the decisions we make to use it could lead us to experiences and discoveries that we attribute to the app. This concept touches on the idea of magical thinking and the role of belief in shaping our experiences. Ultimately, the meaning and significance of these phenomena are open to interpretation, depending on one's beliefs about the nature of reality and the role of higher powers or forces.

    • Achieving intense focus with the 'no kiss state' in Chaos MagicThe 'no kiss state' or Noki focus is a crucial step in Chaos Magic rituals, allowing practitioners to filter out distractions and commit fully to their intentions for significant results. However, it's important to use this tool responsibly to avoid dangerous outcomes.

      The "no kiss state" or Noki focus is a concept used in Chaos Magic to achieve intense focus and concentration on a specific intention or goal. This state is achieved by filtering out distractions and focusing solely on the desired outcome. The Noki focus is a crucial step in performing a ritual in Chaos Magic, as it allows the practitioner to commit fully to their intentions and make them a reality. This intense focus can lead to significant results, as seen in various anecdotes and experiences shared on social media platforms like TikTok. However, it's important to note that this level of commitment and focus can be dangerous if not used responsibly. For instance, an app called Randonautica, which encourages users to explore random locations based on their intentions, led teenagers to a murder scene in Seattle. Overall, the Noki focus is a powerful tool for achieving desired outcomes, but it requires careful consideration and responsible use.

    • The human mind creates narratives from mundane environmentsPeople find connections and create stories from their surroundings, even in seemingly ordinary situations.

      The human mind has a natural inclination to find connections and create narratives, even in seemingly mundane environments. This was exemplified during the popular trend of "Niantic Project" or "Niantic Quest," where people went on hunts for red and yellow objects inspired by a local crime case. The app provided a sense of adventure and inclusivity during a time when entertainment options were limited. The tragic true crime twist added an intriguing element, encouraging people to explore their surroundings and look for unusual findings. This phenomenon highlights the human tendency to make sense of the world around us and create stories, even when they might not be there.

    • Randonauting: A tool for exploration and connectionRandonauting app is a tool for users to explore new places and create meaningful connections, the value comes from the choices and intentions of the user.

      The Randonauting app provides an opportunity for users to explore new places and create meaningful connections, but it is ultimately up to the individual to make sense of the experiences they have. The app does not manipulate the environment or create meaning, but rather acts as a catalyst for users to make choices and find significance in their adventures. The human desire for stories, adventure, and connection plays a significant role in the experiences people have with Randonauting. It's important to remember that the app is just a tool, and the meaning and value derived from using it come from the choices and intentions of the user.

    • Listeners suggest topics for discussionThe hosts were surprised and grateful for the audience's engagement, leading to a potential new content direction and emphasizing the importance of community involvement.

      The hosts of The Deep Heat With A Zog had a fun and unexpected experience during their latest episode, where they received numerous messages from listeners suggesting topics for discussion. Although they initially thought they were reaching out to just one person, they discovered that multiple individuals had contacted them. The hosts expressed their gratitude for the audience's engagement and support, and they discussed the possibility of creating content around this experience. They also encouraged listeners to engage with their content by rating and sharing it with others. Despite any skepticism, they emphasized their enjoyment of the process and the importance of their community's involvement. Overall, this episode underscored the power of collaboration and the impact of audience engagement on the hosts' content creation.

    Mysterious Disappearances: Vol 1

    Mysterious Disappearances: Vol 1
    It's time for 3 intriguing and mysterious disappearance stories!
    Our first story involves Frederick Valentich.
    Fred was a young Australian pilot who vanished during a routine flight in 1978. Despite his struggles with exams, Fred pursued his dream of flying, only to disappear under bizarre circumstances. Moments before his disappearance, Fred reported a strange aircraft hovering above him, followed by unexplained metallic sounds. Was it a UFO encounter, a tragic accident, or an elaborate disappearance? With no wreckage found and conflicting theories, Fred's story continues to baffle investigators and captivate the public.
    Our second story revolves around Karl Hunrath.
    In 1952, Karl claimed a glowing orb transformed into an alien named Bosco in his bedroom, injecting him with "occult techniques" to build weapons against the US military. Despite initially refusing, Karl's suspicious garage activities and sudden relocation to California raised eyebrows. The story culminates in Karl and his associate Wilkinson's enigmatic disappearance during a flight to allegedly meet extraterrestrials.
    Our final story is about Granger Taylor.
    Despite being a high school dropout, Taylor's genius for mechanics and engineering was undeniable, from rebuilding complex machinery to constructing his own flying saucer replica. His fascination with extraterrestrial technology culminated in claims of telepathic alien contact and an invitation for an interstellar journey. On a stormy night in 1980, Taylor vanished without a trace, leaving behind only a cryptic note about a 42-month space voyage.

    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 Ricksecker | Paranormal Researcher and Author - Interview

    Mike Ricksecker | Paranormal Researcher and Author - Interview

    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.

Mike is the producer and director of the docu-series, The Shadow Dimension, available on several streaming platforms, and produces additional full-length content on ancient wisdom, lost civilizations, and the supernatural on his extensive YouTube channel.

    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).

He now hosts many of these articles along with informational videos and learning courses on the Connected Universe Portal website.

    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.

    29. Prospecting Pathways to Discovery with Shawn Ryan and the Bjorkman Sisters

    29. Prospecting Pathways to Discovery with Shawn Ryan and the Bjorkman Sisters

    Across Canada prospectors are at the forefront of discovery.  Shawn Ryan leads using innovative and comprehensive exploration programs resulting in multiple discoveries of gold.  Jessica and Katarina Bjorkman grew up with prospecting and continue to follow their passion and explore all the career has to offer, balancing consulting and work on their own claims.  

    Shawn Ryan (Ryanwood Exploration) arguably the most famous prospector in Canada, tells the story of his career from mushroom picking to gold prospecting. He relates how technological advances and observational science helped his prospecting team, from using soil augurs to explore deep soil horizons in the Dawson Range, to advances in geochemical analyses, to drones and downhole televiewers. As Shawn speaks about his adventures from the Yukon to Newfoundland, he stresses the importance of understanding probability and conducting thorough research ahead of time.

    Growing up in a family of prospectors, Jessica and Katarina Bjorkman (Bjorkman Prospecting), were well prepared to follow their passion and build careers as prospectors.  The sisters discuss their approaches to the job and views on the industry, as well as the differences between working as a prospector (Jessica) and working as a geologist (Katarina). For both the benefits of being an individual prospector, which inherently comes with more risk but also a higher chance of reward is worth the long hours and wet days.  They also discuss government incentives for individual prospectors across Canada, and the hurdles that “the little guy” often faces in the industry.  Jessica and Katarina are inspired by science, family, faith, their love of the outdoors, and the people they meet along the way.
