The Quantum Mechanics - Paranormal Podcast

Imagine you’re a 19-year-old farmer in 1985 rural China. Your life plan is basically "don’t starve" and "fix bicycles." Then, one night, your bedroom wall turns to glowing red jelly, you walk through it, and three sassy, three-foot-tall aliens politely inform you that they need your "data" for their planet's booming VR adult entertainment network.

Welcome to the wildest, most strangely specific alien abduction account you will ever ...

Given we invest so much time and money in timepieces, it is no surprise they can become a vessel for paranormal energy. We have stories of cursed and haunted watches and clocks, and timepieces that have saved their owners lives.

Using the work of Robert Damon Schneck, TQM looks at some unsettling cases from the USA, including;

 The Wee-Jee Fiends (1920): Four women in Oakland consult a Ouija board and meet an entity that methodically, and disastrously, dismantles their lives from the inside out.
• Ape Canyon (1924): Five gold prospectors in the remote Cascade Mountains survive a terrifying night besieged by entities that seem to defy the laws of the phy...

Several leading figures in UFOlogy have pushed back against the idea that UAPs and alien visitors arrive in conventional, nuts-and-bolts spacecraft from distant stars. Thinkers like Jacques Vallée, J. Allen Hynek, and John Keel have instead proposed far more unconventional—and provocative—theories.

Imagine struggling with lifelong exhaustion, sudden bursts of rage, or a stubborn addiction. Now imagine discovering that those feelings don’t belong to you at all—they belong to a parasite feeding on your energy.

Welcome to the weird, incredibly detailed, and methodically clinical world of entity possession.

This week, The Quantum Mechanics dives deep into the work of Dr. Samuel Sagan, a credentialed, silver-medal-winning physician ...

Once upon a time, people believed their homes were being quietly cared for by unseen helpers. Brownies—tiny, mysterious creatures from Scottish folklore—were said to clean, fix, and tidy everything while you slept. But over time, the stories faded… and so did the Brownie. What happened to them? We trace the folklore, tell some incredible tales, explore their links with the Harry Potter universe, and put forward a theory about why w...

🚨 CONTENT WARNING 🚨
This episode contains graphic descriptions of human and animal mutilation drawn from documented police, military, and forensic reports. Listener discretion is strongly advised.

We all know the standard UFO story: lights in the sky, little grey men, missing time. Over the years, we’ve domesticated the alien phenomenon to make it feel safe. But there is a dark, terrifying thread running through UFO history—fro...

Ted Owens, AKA the PK Man, is one of the most controversial figures in psi research. In this episode we dive into his claim‑driven career of precognition and psychokinesis, exploring how he said he could foretell and even trigger natural disasters, weather events, and UFO sightings—all under the guidance of extraterrestrial intelligences.

This week, we’re unpacking a case that firmly refuses to sit in any of the usual paranormal boxes. It’s not a standard haunting, it doesn't quite fit the extraterrestrial abduction mould, and it's certainly not your garden-variety cryptid. We are looking at the deeply unsettling testimony of Dan Mitchell, a man who has spent the last forty years being quietly pursued by an impossible entity he calls 'The Harlequin' ...

In this episode, we dive into Dean Radin’s book on Real Magic and a bold claim — that some magic isn’t fantasy, it’s a testable piece of reality. We break down Radin’s threefold view of real magic (force of will, divination, theurgy), explore why scientists shy away from psi, and tease the social and historical forces that suppressed these ideas.

Move over, little green men and sleek grey aliens. What if the strangest visitors to our planet looked much more...like a tyre mascot? In this episode, we dive deep into one of the most bizarre and overlooked sub-genres of UFO history: the "Bibendum" encounters. Spanning from the early 1950s to the late 1970s, across four continents, dozens of unconnected witnesses reported encounters with bulbous, segmented humanoid bein...

Sudden temperature drops known as 'cold spots' have been reported at many haunted locations, including Borley Rectory and The Stanley Hotel (aka The Shining hotel). We look at paranormal investigations that have tried to approach the phenomena with a more scientific eye.

In this episode the Ark of the Covenant is revisited through a science-and-speculation lens. Drawing on the work of David Medina and other alternative researchers, the show explores the idea that the Ark’s famously detailed construction notes may describe more than a ceremonial chest—raising questions about electricity, radiation, and why ancient rituals often resemble modern safety procedures.

The episode connects familiar biblical...

We dive into one of the earliest Society for Psychical Research investigations—the Morton Ghost (aka The Cheltenham Ghost). Based on Miss R. C. Morton’s firsthand accounts, this episode traces a haunting that unfolds through a web of deaths, jealousies, and hidden jewellery. We unpack what the witnesses saw, how Frederic Myers and the SPR evaluated the evidence, and what this case reveals about early paranormal documentation. A com...

In this episode, we peel back the ivy on one of the most persistent mysteries in folklore: The Green Man. He stares down from the rafters of our greatest cathedrals and hides in the scrap-land behind railway stations, but who—or what—is he? Is he a benign symbol of rebirth, or the "Woodwose"—a ferocious, rock-throwing savage that has haunted the Midlands since the 13th century?

We trace the lineage of the "Leaf-Mask&q...

We delve into the high strangest around the creation of The Weeping Angels on Doctor Who. Explore recent revelations that cast mystery about the oldest statue ever discovered (The Shigir Idol), and an ancient iron Indian monument that never rusts. As well as spooky tales about the Statue of Liberty.

For decades, Bradshaw Ranch was the backdrop for John Wayne westerns and Marlboro commercials, but in 1992 the "movie magic" broke, and the actors were replaced by biological impossibilities, time anomalies, and then a government shutdown.

Using Sir Roger Penrose’s Orch-OR (Orchestrated Objective Reduction) theory, we ask the question: Is this ranch a massive geological CPU tha...
