What if every déjà vu moment is actually a window into another version of yourself? Join us this week on an all new Hidden in The Shadows episode as we shatter the boundaries of perception, diving deep into mind-bending experiences that challenge everything you thought you knew about reality. From spontaneous human combustion and quantum immortality to encounters with people who seem more like programmed NPCs than actual humans, this episode peels back the layers of our perceived existence.


Hear firsthand accounts of near-impossible experiences: a car crash that mysteriously resolves itself, memories that shift without explanation, and encounters so strange they'll make you question the very fabric of reality. Are we living in a simulation? Are multiple versions of ourselves playing out simultaneously in different dimensions?

Buckle up for a journey that blurs the lines between science, paranormal phenomena, and pure unexplainable mystery. By the end of this episode, you'll never look at a moment of déjà vu the same way again.


The next time reality feels... off... you might want to pay attention.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
