Astonishing Legends

Could it be that impossible creatures and craft from unimaginable worlds are able to intrude upon ours at will? Real Estate magnate Robert T. Bigelow thought so and assembled a team of scientists and researchers to find out if "Skinwalker Ranch" could be a portal to all manner of weirdness. In order to obtain verifiable data, accepted scientific methods were applied to observation and analyzation at the Sherman family property, by Bigelow's newly formed National Institute for Discovery Science. Although they encountered a significant number of anomalies, ultimately they could provide no conclusive explanation for these bizarre events - as far as we know. It leaves us to wonder if the Scientific Method can be applied to paranormal events, however, a possible explanation regarding the origin of these incursions into our world might be found in the models currently being worked out in the field of Theoretical Physics and "The Theory of Everything." While our best minds "do the math" on the mechanics of our universe and existence, consider this: as frightening as any monster you could encounter at Skinwalker Ranch is the realization that there are aspects of our reality that are beyond our comprehension and control.Tonight's Quote:“Haven’t you ever had a dream?”— Billionaire Robert Bigelow, the current owner of Skinwalker Ranch and Bigelow Aerospace in an August 24th, 1999 Reno Gazette-Journal interview, after he was asked why he would invest hundreds of millions of dollars into space travel.Show Links:We've found that some sites are not showing these links as clickable unless they are URLs, so until those outlets improve their show notes section, we are providing actual URLs next to the clickable description of each link to make things easier for our listeners!Robert Bigelow's History http://bit.do/bigelowhistory The Valée-Davis Model http://bit.do/valleedavis George Knapp speaks at MUFON http://bit.do/georgeknappMUFON Flying Triangle Sightings http://bit.do/flyingtriangle MUFON vs Skinwalker http://bit.do/MUFONvsSkinwalker Bigelow Aerospace https://bigelowaerospace.com/ Bigelow Next Step Program http://bit.do/bigaeronextstep Bigelow BEAM Project http://bit.do/bigelowBEAM Jesse Ventura's Skinwalker Show http://bit.do/JesseVenturaSkinwalker The Redding War Ranch http://bit.do/ReddingWarRanch More on the Redding War Ranch http://bit.do/ReddingWarRanch2 The Black Forest Haunting http://bit.do/blackforesthaunting The Paracast Skinwalker Episode http://bit.do/paracastSkinwalkerEp Dr. Eric Davis http://bit.do/drericdavis Prof. Michio Kaku explains The Theory of Everything http://bit.ly/2cWKUvx Prof. Kaku: Michio Kaku: The universe is a symphony of vibrating strings http://bit.ly/1GTWo4a Prof. Michio Kaku explains the universe in a nutshell http://bit.ly/1g1Yl1i MUFON LA presents guest speaker George Knapp, 6-17-08 http://bit.ly/2c9IMKC Former MUFON Int'l Dir.

If there are truly supernatural forces at work on the “Skinwalker Ranch,” they do not seem to have your best interests at heart. At the least, they seem to be indifferent to human concerns and endeavors, content to go on about their mysterious business and not above the occasional, seemingly magical prank, no matter the consternation or cost. At the worst, some entities may just want your animals or they may want the spark that gives you life. What the purpose is for their deeds and interactions we may never know nor ever fully understand, for it’s clear that their reasons are their own.Tonight's Quote:“In the end, I suspect that this intense concentration of 'paranormal' activity could point us all toward a new understanding of physical reality, something that is already being debated at the highest levels of modern science." — Colm A. Kelleher, co-author along with George Knapp of The Hunt for the SkinwalkerShow Links:We've found that some sites are not showing these links as clickable unless they are URLs, so until those outlets improve their show notes section, we are providing actual URLs next to the clickable description of each link to make things easier for our listeners!Interview with US Army Colonel, Ret.

Where do you go for your One-stop Shopping for the supernatural? Why the "Skinwalker Ranch" in northeastern Utah of course! It's got it all, including, but not limited to: Skinwalkers (naturally), UFOs, powerful poltergeists, deadly orbs, cryptids, cattle mutilation, interdimensional portals, disembodied voices, shadow beings and other assorted aliens, reptilian creatures, and hybrid wolf beasts, to name just a few. And all this for the low, low price of your grip on reality. It was a cost that would nearly be paid in full by the Sherman family, who owned the ranch for what must have seemed like an interminable two years, from 1994 to 1996. It was during this time that the Shermans not only lost 14 head of cattle and all of their pets but also their sleep and their understanding of the impossible. Join us for a trip to one of the most paranormal places on earth, won't you?Tonight's Quote:“We have to leave this place. We have to leave this place.” — Gwen Sherman, co-owner with husband Terry, of what became known as "Skinwalker Ranch."Show Links:We've found that some sites are not showing these links as clickable unless they are URLs, so until those outlets improve their show notes section, we are providing actual URLs next to the clickable description of each link to make things easier for our listeners!Hunt for the Skinwalker by Colm Kelleher and George Knapp https://amzn.com/B000FCKKXU Skinwalker Ranch by Ryan Skinner and D.L.

Whatever the confluence of unfortunate events that caused those on board the Mary Celeste to abandon her, one can surmise two possible final fates for them: either they perished in a maelstrom of sudden violence, or they died a languishing death of attrition. These two perils every sailor must acknowledge for the sea is a merciless mistress, but too cruel to imagine for the likes of a mother and child. If you wish to contemplate the mystery of the Mary Celeste, you would do well to remember the saying, the sea does not give up her secrets and as we've seen, she will often not part with her dead.Tonight's Quote:“Duty is the great business of a sea officer; all private considerations must give way to it, however painful it may be.”— Lord Horatio NelsonShow Links:We've found that some sites are not showing these links as clickable unless they are URLs, so until those outlets improve their show notes section, we are providing actual URLs next to the clickable description of each link to make things easier for our listeners!The Valletta Malta Tornado http://bit.ly/2belsPc Waterspouts http://bit.ly/2aX34ez Surface currents of the Azores in the Atlantic Ocean http://bit.ly/2b0LWzP Ergotism http://bit.ly/2b0KS55 The Dancing Plague of 1518 http://bit.ly/1N2bzhW Dancing plagues and "Mass Hysteria" http://bit.ly/2b0KNZ6 Another article on the Dance Craze of 1518 http://bit.ly/1PWJp9V From The Lancet: A forgotten plague: Making sense of dancing mania http://bit.ly/IOJ4HQ The Trouble with Tribbles http://bit.ly/2b0HQYp The Stubby Squid - the cutest, googly-eyed squid you've ever seen! http://cnn.it/2beHcYo The ARC's Chris Cogswell's experiment with alcohol ignition - DO NOT ATTEMPT! http://bit.ly/2bunvME Chris Cogswell's The Mad Scientist Podcast http://bit.ly/2bzathn Solved!

The mysterious disappearance of ten souls would not be the last of the misfortune to befall the ill-fated Mary Celeste. Insurance fraud, lost revenue, madness, and suicide would all become dreadful notches in the gunwale of her sad history, along with the premature deaths of three of her captains. Whether you believe in curses or not, often the best insurance is to leave fate untempted.Tonight’s Quote:“The sea has never been friendly to man.

The Mary Celeste is perhaps the most famous case of a "ghost ship." However, when it was discovered adrift on December 5, 1872, no ghosts were found nor any human form for that matter, not Captain Briggs, his wife, his two-year-old daughter, nor the seven crew members. They remain forever missing. But what caused them to vanish? Theories range from seaquakes to hazardous cargo, to a giant squid attack, and even aliens... yes, aliens. We're not saying it was aliens because we'd rather believe it was a giant squid. No matter what it was, the ship may have been doomed from the start, when seafaring superstitions were broken.Tonight's Quote:“The craft seemed possessed of the Devil to begin with, but where she got it I don’t know. I am sure it couldn’t have been from any of our good people.” — Dr. John W. Dewis, son of Joshua Dewis, the builder of the Mary Celeste, from The Story of the Mary Celeste by Charles Edey FayShow Links:We've found that some sites are not showing these links as clickable unless they are URLs, so until those outlets improve their show notes section, we are providing actual URLs next to the clickable description of each link to make things easier for our listeners!Mary Celeste: The Greatest Mystery of the Sea - http://bit.do/MaryCelesteBookThe World’s Greatest Unsolved Mysteries (Mysteries and Secrets) - http://bit.do/worldsgreatestmysteriesCapt Kirk and the Zumwalt - http://bit.do/captainkirkThe Smithsonian’s Take on the Mary Celeste - http://bit.do/smithsonianCelesteHMS Friday - http://bit.do/hmsFridayMaritime Superstitions - http://bit.do/maritimesuperstitionThe Captain of the Polestar by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle - http://bit.ly/2avJYrN The Ship’s Cat - http://bit.do/shipscatDogs know when the shakin's about to go down! - http://bit.ly/2aYEaIuSpecial Offers from our Special Sponsors:Harry's shaving essentials.

Is it just a quirky rock sculpture garden, or a megalithic mystery that baffles engineers and scientists to this day? It seems to be both. How was a diminutive man in ill health able to accomplish such a monumental feat all by himself? Ed Leedskalnin, builder of the Coral Castle in Homestead, Florida would never say and he took the answer with him. We know of a few reasons why he made The Coral Castle his life's work, but as for how he made it, we may never know.Tonight's Quote:“I know how the Pyramids were built.” — Ed Leedskalnin, Builder of the Coral CastleShow Links:We've found that some sites are not showing these links as clickable unless they are URLs, so until those outlets improve their show notes section, we are providing actual URLs next to the clickable description of each link to make things easier for our listeners!Coral Castle's own website http://coralcastle.com/ Kristaps Andrejson's The Eastern Border podcast http://theeasternborder.lv/ Edward Leedskalnin and his Coral Castle in Florida from latvianhistory.com http://bit.ly/2a65Qyx Peter the Painter - Latvian gangster, revolutionary and purported comrade of Ed Leedskalnin http://bit.ly/2a8MTuP The 1905 Revolution in Latvia http://bit.ly/2alNXaZ The Incredible Mystery of Coral Castle by By Christopher Dunn From Atlantis Rising http://bit.ly/18uEvA3 Billy Idol's Sweet Sixteen http://bit.ly/18uEvA3 "Eds Coral Castle Quarry and Flywheel, Engineering Mystery Solved," by Scott Russell http://bit.ly/29OkvMt Episode of In Search Of - The Castle of Secrets http://bit.ly/29TmOhI Coral Castle: The Mystery of Ed Leedskalnin and his American Stonehenge https://amzn.com/098421321X David Carr's Take on The Castle at Graham Hancock's Site http://bit.ly/2a6kxlp Coral Castle Busted - Interesting, But Not Magic by Sterling D.

When your loved one is seriously ill, you take them to the doctor. But what do you do when you've taken them to every doctor, specialist and holistic healer you could see, ran every recommended test and all the professionals can tell you is something is definitely quite wrong, but no one can tell you why or what to do about it? This was the case with our guests John and Deborah, whose son Jack was so sick and getting worse that they sought answers where most wouldn't consider looking.Tonight's Quote:“In this generation, like so many others, people have been led to believe that the devil is a myth, a figure, an idea, the idea of evil.
