Gina tells about more of her experiences. One story had her son as a witness and they believe it involved old toy soldiers that were found.
She also worked in a hospital and had several encounters that were interesting to say the least.
We discuss how some people see things but others dont and what that means. Could it be some misconception or illusion? Is it based on brain activity and chemistry t...
Before we investigate anything, we like to delve into the background and history of the place. Colin is our expert at that and has done a great job finding out the truth behind Gretchen’s Lock.
If you aren’t sure what we’re talking about, Gretchen’s Lock is part of a system of locks built in the 1800’s in Pennsylvania. There is a story beh...
Gina is back with more of her experiences. There are differing thoughts on what these experiences are, and we discuss that.
But are these experiences real? Or only real to the person experiencing them? Does that mean they have a chemical imbalance or a brain tumor – or could it be connected to something our science doesn’t even understand yet?
Besides that – we had an interesting coincidence we ta...
One area that isn’t focused on is how to research. This is an important part of looking into the weird and strange, particularly cryptids.
The more information you know about an area and the animals in that area, the better prepared you will be when looking into anything that may seem unusual.
Colin has researched many reports and found things that can help explain happenings. We discuss looking into:
Today is a special episode with a special guest – Stan Gordon.
Stan has been doing investigations into Bigfoot and UFO’s in the Chestnut Ridge area of Pennsylvania since the 60’s. His team has looked into hundreds and has made the connection in the area between UFO sightings and Bigfoot sightings.
In the chat, Stan tells us about a couple particular investigations and we focus on what is weird about them.
You can find Sta...
Stephen and Gina recently attended the MIParacon and had a wonderful time meeting and talking with everyone.
They met the Ghost Hunters, Paranormal Caught on Camera, Ghost Brothers and more. It was a fun and enjoyable weekend.
Many of the people told us about the most weird thing they’ve ever seen. Check out the episode to hear the various answers. The sound quality is a bit rough at time and that’s because we were in a crowd...
Today we talk about proof and debunking. One issue in today’s world is it being WAY too easy to fake a picture and video. And, so much of what you find on the internet is so questionable as to what is being seen.
A picture looks completely different at times than something it real life. We see things in 3d and when you mash it down to 2d, it doesn’t look the same. This leads to ‘seeing’ things in pictures that aren’t really the...
The Collective wanted to delve into a topic you don’t hear discussed as much – Mystery Carnivores with a focus on the Vampire Beast of Bladenboro. This is a hot topic for Colin and one of his favorites, with a specialty on cats.
There have been many claimed sightings and encounters that could fall under the mystery carnivore category and Colin discusses several of his favorites with us.
We’ll discuss:
Our first interview is with Kenny The Cryptopunkologist from New York. Kenny has written a book that lists cryptids from each state.
Besides, the paranormal world, Kenny is a musician and named himself because he plays in a punk band and the moniker has stuck.
His book, In Pursuit of the Elusive Creatures, provides interesting creatures from every state. This includes legends from our Native American culture.
YouT...Have you seen things you can’t explain? Feel that you’re in tune with parts of the universe that others aren’t? Believe in ghosts?
You aren’t alone. Gina talks with us about things she’s experienced throughout her life. Things she’s seen, heard and experienced.
As usual, we discuss various aspects and perspectives of these experiences. Are they real and what is real anyway? Is it just her or does she just ‘think’ she see som...
This episode is a follow up to last weeks episode about witches. Ron did a talk at the Southwest PA Haunted Con and we are giving it to everyone for your enjoyment. I apologize for the sound quality, they only had a speaker and it was a bit echoey, so the sound isn’t the best.
Ron gives an overview of witches through history and the social impact this has had on different societies.
Hear about:
Ron has an upcoming appearance as a speaker and he will be giving a talk about witches. The talk was at the Southwest PA Haunted Con. He delves into the history and lore of witches and witchcraft, including the modern wicca.
