    33.17 - MU Podcast - Demonic Dangers
    May 9 2025
    Can unseen forces truly take hold of a human life? In this episode, we explore disturbing phenomenon of spirit possession — not just as religious dogma or psychiatric diagnosis, but as a real-world enigma that challenges both science and faith. While some cases can be dismissed, others present undeniable signs: levitation, supernatural strength, bizarre skin markings, and personalities that emerge with impossible knowledge. We examine the terrifying case of Maurice Theriault, whose possession was caught on video, and revisit the diary that inspired The Exorcist, revealing a world where invisible entities — the so-called “Mutated Ghosts” — may be infiltrating the vulnerable. Are these truly demons, or something far more deceptive? Then, in our Plus+ extension, we follow a chilling encounter involving a well-known paranormal researcher and a shape-shifting Native American spirit. What begins as a dreamlike connection escalates into an abduction story laced with ancient trickster lore, fractured reality, and dark intent.

    When is a dream just a dream? Could recurring visions of a futuristic Tokyo—one with neon-lit skyways, android garrisons, and flooded shopping malls—be something more? This week, we look at the extraordinary story of a woman who’s been visiting the same future city since early childhood. Through years of out-of-body experiences and strange astral journeys, her vision of this place became increasingly vivid, consistent, and shockingly detailed. But everything changed when a friend revealed she’d been dreaming of the same exact world. Is this a shared hallucination, a soul memory, or a glimpse into a parallel incarnation? And what does it mean when a shaman tells you… your soul is missing? Then for our Plus+ Members, we unravel a bizarre tale of astrology parties gone wrong, tarot reader curses, and a chilling explanation rooted in the ancient concept of ether. We explore how curses might propagate through a spiritual substance, and how paranormal phenomena could be supercharged by emotional trauma, magnetic fields… or bad wine and a few too many crystal balls.

    33.15 - MU Podcast - The Premonition Men
    Apr 25 2025
    Throughout history, rare individuals have surfaced with uncanny mental abilities—figures who briefly captured the spotlight, altered events in extraordinary ways, and then faded into mystery. But what truly empowers them? Are they awakening a lost human skill, channeling spirits, or manipulated by darker, hidden forces? In this episode, we revisit the life of Ted Owens, the “PK Man,” who claimed his psychic abilities—from weather control to mind-reading—were enhanced by beings he called the “Space Intelligences.” His startling predictions, apparent influence over natural disasters, and disturbing warnings to government officials earned the attention of top researchers. But was Owens a gifted pioneer tapping into human potential—or merely a pawn of manipulative, otherworldly forces? Then, for our Plus+ Members, we continue exploring the theme of extraordinary abilities, following the strange case of a man whose vivid dreams appeared to predict future catastrophes—visions that, much like Owens’ experiences, hint at an unseen intelligence shaping human destiny.

Featured Article: Venture into the Unknown and Unexplained with the Best Paranormal Podcasts


The paranormal genre is perfectly suited to podcasts, given how its ties to myths and legends are rooted in oral storytelling. In the same way that a campfire tale can give you goosebumps, the best paranormal podcasts are as much about performance and structure as the story itself. Some, like the gothic fiction of old, are purely imagined, while others offer a window into the unseen and unexplained pockets of our own reality.
