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.

Childhood encounters with non-human entities
Remote viewing training and operations
Paranormal military experiences at Mildenhall AFB
