Wild, wonderful, West Virginia. Maybe they could throw in ‘weird’. There have been some strange things reported to have happened in different parts of the state back in the 1950s and 60s. Both created nationwide and even global attention for the tiny towns, with tourists and lookey-loos descending like locusts. Were these hoaxes perpetrated to attract the gullible with pockets full of cash and make a quick buck? Or were these true ...

He was known by the most famous figures of European history. He enticed royals and the rich alike with his vast knowledge of science and history, his musical ability, his easy charm, and humor. He spoke 12 languages and he could play the violin like a virtuoso and was an accomplished painter. Did the Comte de Saint Germain acquire this knowledge naturally? Or was he a time traveler who was able to learn so much because time was inf...

What defines death? Or maybe the better question is, when is dead dead? That may sound like an easily answered question, but death has been determined in a variety of ways through human history. In the 1800s and before, if heart and lung function were not detected, the person was deemed to have passed on. Yet there were many cases of very sick or catatonic people being buried alive.  Later in the 20th century, the cessation of brai...

Dear old mom … there is nothing on earth like a mother’s love for her child.  She’d stand between you and a hungry lion. She’d give you the last piece of bread on Earth if it came to that. All else is secondary to her child. Now…what if that woman was replaced? I’m not talking about a step-mom or anything like that. I mean, what if the woman you knew to be your mom was replaced by something resembling your mom. But things weren’t q...

Two stories in today's episode. First a family's close encounter with an alien craft in 1977 left them wondering where did the time go. And more recently, a woman's vivid account of what she believes were aliens in her bedroom left her more with a sense of awe and comfort than sheer terror. And hey...do YOU have a strange, paranormal, supernatural, spooky, perhaps sasquatch-y, or ufo, alien story?  I would love to read it. Send i...

Bigfoot, Sasquatch, in the southern parts of the US, it’s a Skunk Ape, in Australia, it’s the Yowie, in Asia, the Yeti.  People from all different Cultures across the globe have shared traditional stories about Super-sized creatures that haunt deep woods in remote spots of the world; cryptids that have long eluded search and capture and so have been resigned to myth and lore. Here are three terrifyingly close encounters with a hair...

To those of us who consider ourselves 'normal,' in this sense meaning we are unable or unwilling to venture beyond what we can see and feel, this is an area that causes fear and trepidation.  But there are a few among us who are extraordinary, who have the ability to see a thousand unseen tomorrows. Those who are not only able but also willing to throw open that shadowy curtain and provide a conduit to that other realm.  This is a ...

Road trips are great, aren't they? Just you and the open road with no real destination in mind and plenty of time to get there. Until it nearly turns deadly. A young woman and her dog on a trek to embrace the tranquility of nature,  commune with the great outdoors, and see America. But it spiraled into a bewildering ordeal where the boundaries between reality and the unknown blurred, leaving her to grapple with the mystery of the ...

‘May it haunt their homes pleasantly.’ Those words were written by Charles Dickens in the preface for ‘A Christmas Carol’, a little ghost story that so many enjoy during the holidays. And that’s kind of the thought with today’s episode drop … a reminder that not all ghosts and spirits are bad, out to harm us … some are here to help and show us the right way to live of lives.  So just like Scrooge was visited by four ghosts, here ar...

A hairy creature lurking in the woods … the snapping of twigs indicating you are being followed and watched. Reports of sightings and encounters with hairy beasts in the woods date back centuries and still pop up today. This is a story I received a few years back from a guy who told of his encounter with a strange creature that he gave a funny name to without seeing it … and then once he did see it, he realized there was nothing fu...

There is a boundary between the here and the after but on occasion that line is breached by some ethereal entity or demon. Sometimes it must be guided and other times forced to return to the other side of the veil. Fortunately there are a few among us who have the courage and ability to do just that. This is one of those stories submitted to me.  And hey...do YOU have a strange, paranormal, supernatural, spooky, perhaps sasquatch-...

In 1799, Elma Sands was murdered; her badly beaten body recovered from a lower Manhattan well 11 days later. What happened after was predictable yet wholly a miscarriage of justice. A courtroom curse delivered following the verdict and the ghostly moans emanating from the well for centuries after are the backdrop for today's tale. Season 2 of 'The Perception Veil' is scheduled to begin Sunday, Dec. 3 with my own personal paranorma...

Tick, tick, tick, tock … the clock does not stop. Time is a fair arbiter of life here on our tiny blue marble floating in the vacuum of space. But is it just a human construct? A non-objective reality. The people in today’s stories seem to bear that out, that life and our recognition of it is merely illusory.  Three stories in today's episode.  'The Fog' (:53) that the first person encounters seems to warp his perception of time.
