Episode notes
Path of the Skinwalker Is A Persistent Anomaly Corridor
- The Path of the Skinwalker maps to a literal fence line where repeated anomalies concentrate.
- Ben cites repeated geomagnetic anomalies, cow deaths, tree holes and upside-down magpie nests occurring year after year along that line.
Ben's Near‑Death Experience Broke Linear Time Perception
- Ben experienced cardiac arrest and multiple out-of-body deaths that disconnected him from linear time.
- He reports visiting real locations worldwide, perceived timelessness, and being able to follow hospital staff during resuscitation.
Perception Interruption Could Explain Cloaking Phenomena
- After his NDE Ben no longer fully trusts human vision because brain processing can be interrupted.
- He notes examples of seeing, then not-seeing nearby objects while recovering sight, implying phenomena could render things invisible by disrupting perception.
