Oh No, Ross and Carrie

While Carrie is out of town, Ross and his cohorts at the Independent Investigations Group set up a fair and simple test of earth's shape at the unusually flat Salton Sea. And they invite Mark Sargent, and a cadre of flat earthers to join them.

Ross, Carrie and Drew head to the Hollywood Fringe Festival for Spiritual Ecstasy, a two-woman show featuring a crystal skull named Skully, another skull named Jesus, life advice for anyone's problems, and lots of musical instruments to put Carrie's migraine at ease.   See all the pics and vids, by liking us on Facebook.

Ross and Carrie meet up with Chris Shelton to talk about their Arizona ghost hunting investigation. They share how Zachary's doing lately, and chat about faith, fear, and friendship. It's a friends-sit-and-chat show: something podcasting needs more of.

Claire Knowlton, a regular contributor who attended and reported from Living Stones Ministries, shares firsthand accounts from a conference on 'healing' homosexuality and transgender issues. She describes a workshop that frames trans identity as ideology, stories linking gender to parenting, cherry‑picked science, confrontational Q&A, and a closing ritual urging surrender of fertility to God.

Claire Knowlton, a friend who attended the Living Stones 'Be My Child' conference, shares first-person reporting and reactions. She recalls awkward theatrical music, emotional storytelling, and leaders blaming parents and trauma for sexuality. The conference mixes compassionate language with calls to change, promotes pseudoscientific therapy ideas, and leaves troubling audience reactions.

Ross and Carrie pack up their ghost hunting gear (and a carbon monoxide detector) and head to Arizona, with their friend Chris, to visited a haunted house. What's haunting Zachary... a spirit, a gas leak, or an old relationship?

Mike Clelland, "The Owl Guy" from our UFO investigation, joins us to chat about his information-gathering strategy, the interplay of science and personal experience, and, of course... owls. This episode brought to you by new/upgrading 2018 ONRAC donors!

We pull off a fun and silly experiment at MaxFun HQ, where we use an elevator to attempt to shoot straight to Hell. Will MaxFun staffers Kira and Danny get stuck in the underworld? Will Ross find the secret extra floor? Will Carrie have a heart attack?

We bring you our final thoughts on Rythmia. What happened after we got home? What does Gerry's book contain? And how did Rythmia attempt to stifle this series? Plus, a very sad story illuminates how promises of a "miracle" can come at a high cost.
