In this episode we go deep into Herbert Schirmer’s hypnosis regression, where he describes his encounter with strange beings and the snake emblem that stuck with him for the rest of his life.
But Schirmer’s case isn’t the only one. We look at other accounts with the same type of beings and the same symbols, from Bill Herrmann’s abduction in South Carolina, to the Lacerta Files, to Filiberto Cárdenas and his unbelievable story told in UFO Contact from Undersea, and more.
What starts to emerge is a clear pattern. The serpent symbol keeps showing up across different places, times, and witnesses.
So the big question is why. Who are these beings and what does the serpent really mean.
If you’re into abduction stories, UFO history, and connecting the dots between some of the strangest cases ever recorded, you’ll want to stick around for this one.
