I saw Black Helicopters flying over rural Maryland in the 1990’s and lived to tell about it!
Maryland’s Catoctin mountains have served as training grounds for some of the United States most elite and secretive forces from the 1940’s. This episode explores fascinating history. It may not be paranormal, but if “occult” simply means hidden, this is a window into a hidden world.
