They encountered an unusual experience that left them shaken. Although neither of the hosts has been to the Mojave Desert, they've heard of it and know it's located between Vegas and LA. The story begins with Steve and Don deciding to take a break and go on a desert adventure. While the exact location of their origin is unknown, it's assumed they aren't locals since they chose to visit the desert.

The hosts express their excitement to explore this story further and share their thoughts on the experience.

    • Mysterious moving light disrupts romantic getawayDespite a disrupted camping spot and unexplained light, the couple found peace and enjoyment in their desert retreat.

      The couple's peaceful desert getaway was disrupted by a crowded camping area. Despite this setback, they eventually found a secluded spot with a stunning view of tabletop mountain. While enjoying their romantic evening under the stars, Steve was intrigued by a mysterious moving light. Although it could have been explained away, Steve felt an uneasy and captivated feeling towards it. The light disappeared before he could show it to Dawn, leaving him with a lingering sense of unease. Regardless, they continued their stargazing and constellation pointing, making the most of their isolated retreat. Overall, their romantic getaway provided a much-needed break from their busy lives, but also presented unexpected and intriguing experiences.

    • Encounter with Otherworldly Beings in the DesertTwo men witnessed unexplained lights and encountered small red-eyed creatures and larger translucent beings with black eyes in the desert. They were stopped from harming them with telepathic messages and left shaken after a large, bright object appeared and their camper shook.

      Don and Steve encountered an unusual and terrifying experience in the desert, which they initially tried to rationalize as military maneuvers, but soon realized involved otherworldly beings. The sighting included a group of bright lights forming an "M" shape, which later turned out to be small red-eyed creatures accompanied by larger, translucent beings with black eyes. The experience was accompanied by a complete silence in the desert, and when Don and Steve tried to defend themselves, they were stopped by telepathic messages not to harm the creatures. The encounter ended with the arrival of a large, bright object and intense shaking of their camper. This experience left Don and Steve in a state of terror and confusion, unable to fully comprehend or explain what they had witnessed.

    • An encounter with unidentified entities in the woodsThe encounter between Steve and Don with unknown beings left them questioning reality, with descriptions of a hovering craft, otherworldly entities, and vulnerability despite being in a camper. Despite the lack of tangible evidence, the experience serves as a reminder of unexplained mysteries beyond our everyday reality.

      The encounter between Steve and Don with unidentified entities in the woods was a terrifying experience that left them questioning reality. The foggy night, the bright light from the hovering craft, and the loss of consciousness suggest an otherworldly presence. The description of the entities, with their control over smaller beings and their ability to project commands, aligns with various UFO and alien encounter stories. The vulnerability felt by the couple, despite being in their camper, underscores the feeling of being exposed and powerless in the face of unknown forces. The lack of tangible evidence in the morning, besides the red pinpricks on Dan's neck, leaves the couple questioning the validity of their experience. Overall, the encounter serves as a reminder of the unexplained mysteries that exist beyond our everyday reality.

    • Ignoring traumatic experiences can cause harmSuppressing traumatic events can lead to nightmares, physical symptoms, paranoia, and harm to family members. Seeking help from a professional under hypnosis can provide understanding and coping mechanisms.

      Suppressing traumatic experiences, such as an alien encounter, can lead to physical and emotional distress. Steve and Don, after leaving the encounter site, tried to ignore what had happened and avoid discussing it. However, they both suffered from nightmares, physical symptoms, and paranoia. Their children also reported seeing strange occurrences at home, adding another layer of fear and uncertainty. Eventually, they sought help from a doctor under hypnosis to understand and cope with their experience. Ignoring traumatic experiences may provide temporary relief, but it can ultimately lead to more serious consequences.

    • An encounter with UFO entities leaves deep emotional scarsA UFO abduction experience can leave individuals with lasting emotional trauma and a sense of unease

      The Mohave Desert incident involved Dawn and Don, who underwent hypnosis to uncover traumatic memories of being abducted and subjected to medical experiments on a UFO. The experiences left them with deep emotional scars and a feeling of insignificance. The entities responsible for the abduction did not come across as benevolent, leaving the pair with a sense of unease and fear. The incident left a lasting impact on their lives and inspired further investigation, as detailed in the book "Searchers, A True Story" by Ron Felber. Despite the terrifying nature of the experience, the pair sought to find peace and move forward. The incident serves as a reminder of the unknown and unexplained phenomena that exist beyond our understanding.

    • Unique dome in California for rejuvenation and time travelThe Integratron in California is a privately owned, historic dome known for its acoustical properties and rejuvenating sound baths, built on powerful geomagnetic forces and influenced by various inspirations including extraterrestrial contact and Nikola Tesla.

      The Integratron in Landers, California, is a unique, 38-foot high, 55-foot diameter wooden dome believed to be an electrostatic generator designed for rejuvenation and time travel. It was built on an intersection of powerful geomagnetic forces and is privately owned by three sisters who have been restoring and preserving it for three decades. The Integratron, which has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is famous for its acoustical properties and hosts sound baths in its upper chamber. These sound baths involve lying on blankets in the resonant sound chamber while quartz crystal singing bowls are played, providing a deeply relaxing and rejuvenating experience for visitors. The Integratron's history is rooted in claims of extraterrestrial contact and the design influenced by Moses's Tabernacle, Nikola Tesla's writing, and telepathic directions.

    • UFO Encounters: Stories of the UnexplainedThroughout history, there have been numerous claims of UFO encounters, some involving extraordinary phenomena, such as George Phil Tassel's magnetic device and British pilot David Hastings' cigar-shaped object sighting.

      There are numerous claims of encounters with unidentified flying objects (UFOs) throughout history, some more extraordinary than others. One such claim involves George Phil Tassel, who believed he was guided by aliens to build a powerful magnetic device. Another story comes from British pilot David Hastings, who experienced a UFO encounter in the 1980s. Hastings and his copilot saw a massive, silent object with no discernible shape or noise. Despite not being able to see the object with their eyes, they managed to capture a photograph of it, which revealed a cigar-shaped object. These stories serve as reminders of the intrigue and mystery surrounding UFOs and the unexplained phenomena that continue to captivate people's imaginations.

    • Pilots keep quiet about UFO encounters due to potential backlashDespite numerous UFO sightings by pilots, they often remain silent due to career concerns and societal stigma, leaving many encounters unexplored and debated among skeptics and believers

      Pilots, due to professional and company responsibilities, rarely speak about their UFO encounters publicly. During a discussion, it was mentioned that pilots see unusual phenomena but often choose not to share it due to potential backlash and career consequences. An intriguing encounter, known as the Mojave Triangle UAP, occurred in 2021 with over 50 eyewitnesses reporting a silent, triangular-shaped craft hovering over a military base. The military acknowledged the presence of aircraft during a training exercise, but no UAP sighting was recorded. Skeptics suggest it could have been a test, while others maintain it was an alien spacecraft. The debate continues, highlighting the complexities surrounding UFO encounters and the role of official denial in shaping public perception.

    • Close Encounter with a UFO in the Mojave DesertIn 2000, a man had a shocking encounter with an unidentified flying object in the Mojave Desert, leaving him with a lasting impact and a sense of wonder about the unexplained phenomena in the world.

      The Reddit user had a close encounter with an unidentified flying object (UFO) in the Mojave Desert in 2000. The experience left him in a state of shock as the object, which was about the size of a semi-truck trailer and had a saucer shape with lights around it, hovered in front of him. Despite his initial confusion and fear, he did not attempt to make contact with the UFO or stop his car. Instead, he kept staring at it until it was out of sight, unsure of whether he had witnessed a military experiment or an alien spacecraft. The encounter left a lasting impact on him, changing his perception of reality and leaving him with a sense of wonder and amazement. The experience serves as a reminder of the unexplained phenomena that exist in the world and the limitations of human understanding.

    • A man's unexplained UFO encounterInitially dismissing a UFO sighting, the man's curiosity eventually led him to reconsider the experience, focusing on the unsteadiness and detached lights of the craft.

      Even after a seemingly unexplainable experience, people may initially try to repress it and ignore it. However, as more evidence and information becomes available, they may eventually delve deeper into the mystery. The speaker in this podcast shared his encounter with a UFO and the two things that stood out to him were the unsteadiness of the craft and the detached lights. Despite his initial thoughts that it might be military, the experience has stayed with him and he now thinks about it every day. The podcast also discussed their Patreon perks, including a monthly movie night where they watch a movie on Netflix and chat about it in real-time using Teleparty. The interactive experience adds to the enjoyment of the movie-watching experience.

    • Historical Alien Encounters in the SouthwestThe southwest region has a history of reported alien encounters, ranging from friendly to aggressive interactions. Some reports are debatable due to the use of drugs, but their consistency adds to the intrigue surrounding the phenomenon.

      The area around the southwest, particularly where Steve and Don's encounter took place, seems to have a history of reported alien encounters. These encounters vary in intensity and nature, with some resembling friendly encounters, while others are more aggressive and intimidating. Steve and Don's experience, which involved beings coming to them, is reminiscent of other well-known alien encounter stories like the Betty and Barney Hill incident. However, the authenticity of some of these encounters, such as those involving the use of drugs, remains a subject of debate. Despite the challenges in understanding why aliens would continue to interact with individuals after an initial encounter, the consistency of these reports adds to the intrigue surrounding the phenomenon.

    • Discussing Unidentified Encounters: Aliens or Something Else?Speakers debate possible explanations for reported alien encounters, from drugs and military experiments to genuine alien encounters, while acknowledging the unexplained and intriguing nature of the events.

      The discussion revolves around possible explanations for a reported alien encounter, with the speakers considering various possibilities such as drugs, military experiments, or genuine alien encounters. They also discuss the strange behavior of the alleged aliens, who seem to be stalking and haunting the witnesses. While some find the stories convincing, others remain skeptical and suggest alternative explanations. The speakers express a mix of fascination, fear, and skepticism towards the reported encounters. Ultimately, they agree that the events remain unexplained and intriguing.

    • Fear of vulnerability to extraterrestrial beingsThe Mojave UFO incident raises fear of vulnerability to real aliens, and the speaker expresses skepticism, adding to the intrigue.

      The Mojave UFO incident, as described in the discussion, raises the fear of vulnerability if aliens were to be real and not just interdimensional beings or ghosts. The idea of being haunted, whether it's in the home or outside, is terrifying enough, but the thought of being vulnerable to extraterrestrial beings in both places is even more unsettling. The speaker also expresses their disbelief in the incident, comparing it to a haunting experience rather than an alien encounter. Additionally, the discussion touches on the potential for a shift in the podcast's content in the coming year, with possible new Patreon perks and potential new themes. Overall, the Mojave UFO incident, as described, brings up feelings of fear and uncertainty, and the speaker's skepticism adds to the intrigue.

    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.

    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.

    Are Humans Being Abducted and Implanted?

    Are Humans Being Abducted and Implanted?
    I just remember being at the bottom of the hill near Stanfield road. Then it was almost like I was placed on my back at the side of a small dam. As I was coming back around, I noticed I could hear dogs from one side of the hill barking all across the hill. Bearing in mind this was at 12.30am. All this wind came over me. It went completely silent and I started to get up and walk back down to where I was before and as I did the whole sky light up for a split second like daylight. Then I heard this woozing, humming noise is all I can describe it as. I looked to my right hand side and all these lights formed in on themselves about 20 to 40ft away. Then it disappeared and ever since then I noticed a small movable lump in my head above my right ear that just doesn't seem to go away.
    ...............
    “The other night my small toe on my right foot was itchy and sore, it had been like that for several weeks now, I never go barefoot as being diabetic its not worth taking risks, I scratched at my toe with my big toe on my other foot, getting quite vigorous, suddenly I felt ‘something’ in my little toe, then I heard what sounded like a ball bearing drop from my toe and then I heard it bounce on the floor and roll away, try as we might neither of us found anything on the floor when we searched to see what had made the noise, my toe stung like mad for a day or so afterwards”
