In this episode of Dead Hand Radio, host Andrew Hall speaks with Russell Pickering—a trained remote viewer and lifelong experiencer of paranormal phenomena. From an unforgettable childhood encounter with a “small gray” on Christmas Eve 1965, to chilling paranormal incidents during his time in the U.S. Air Force, Russell’s story is as unsettling as it is fascinating.
He shares how these events led him into deep personal exploration and ultimately into the world of controlled remote viewing (CRV), where he trained with Ed Dames and later completed advanced certification under Paul H. Smith of the military's Stargate program. Russell has since contributed to operational remote viewing projects, including one featured on Gaia TV.
Russell also discusses Project 8200, his investigation into alleged underground bases connected to UFO activity and the mysterious worldwide low-frequency hum. His YouTube channel, Direct Perception, dives deeper into this research and the unsettling patterns emerging from decades of remote viewing data.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
