Episode notes
Childhood Friend Appeared During Abuse
- Mike Martin shares a childhood trauma story from a Reddit-like post where a mother figure described a protective small man appearing during abuse.
- The creature played with the child, spoke with an adult's voice that the grandmother heard, and disappeared after the family moved out.
Folklore Explains The Closet Visitor
- Mike Martin and Alex Faciane discuss folklore possibilities for the small man, including a Slavic domovoi or the squonk cryptid as explanations.
- A paranormal researcher noted domovoi normally avoid being seen and expect offerings, but abuse in the house could have changed its behavior.

- Alex Faciane summarizes a study showing the solar system's motion is measured via anisotropy in distant radio galaxy counts and appears 3.7 times stronger than predicted.
- Using LOFAR and two other radio arrays the team found a >5σ dipole, forcing reassessment of cosmological uniformity or our motion estimates.
