The Possessed Surgeon
Monday Oct 28, 2024
Monday Oct 28, 2024
There are lots of stories about psychic surgeons - often they are proven fakes who use chicken entrails to simulate bloody surgery, promising to cure diseases that mainstream doctors have been unable to treat effectively.
But there is one case that stands out, and may well be real. Could an uneducated manual worker in South America really be possessed by the spirit of a medical genius? He convinced the president - and today we discover why.

The Warminster Thing
Monday Oct 14, 2024
Monday Oct 14, 2024
When strange noises began bothering the folk of this small military town nobody could have predicted the havoc that would ensue. From UFO sightings to poltergeist-like activity, Warminster became one of the most visited paranormal destinations in the UK - but, was it real or did one man play a part in creating a flap about nothing? As always, the truth is likely somewhere in the middle - and this week we highlight the reality of this spooky period in British culture.

The 'Fermi Paradox' Paradox
Monday Oct 07, 2024
Monday Oct 07, 2024
In 1950 Nobel Prize winner Enrico Fermi asked the question "where are all the aliens?". It sparked huge debate as to why we have not encountered advanced extra terrestrial life, and theories that we are alone in the universe. We look into those arguments, and discover the 'Fermi Paradox' is not a paradox and has very little to do with Enrico Fermi.

Our night in haunted Shepton Mallet Prison
Monday Sep 30, 2024
Monday Sep 30, 2024
We spent the night in one of the world's most haunted prisons. We were not expecting anything spooky. But as you will hear, about half way through, in terms of the paranormal it all kicked off! Ghost sightings, music boxes going off, EVPs and thrown objects. We really don't know what to make of it.

Signs we live in a simulated reality
Monday Sep 16, 2024
Monday Sep 16, 2024
We delve into scientific research that may prove we live in a simulated reality. What seems like computer code has been found in quantum physics equations and DNA. Even the existence of maths itself could be a sign.

What Are The Plants Thinking?
Monday Sep 09, 2024
Monday Sep 09, 2024
From the hippy times of the 1960's, a new thinking about plant consciousness emerged - perhaps the humble onion could actually think for itself? It sounds bizarre, but even the CIA was interested in the spying abilities of the humble houseplant. This week we look at how this thinking gave us cybernetics, several horror movies and a modern scientist determined to prove that plants really can think for themselves. We also revisit the Findhorn garden, the god Pan, and the potato king.

Cryptid Bugs

Monday Aug 19, 2024
When we think of Cryptids, Bigfoot, Werewolves, or Nessie come to mind. But there is a rich vein of lesser known bug like cryptids that are said to exist. We go on the hunt for giant insects that roam our planet, and mini Cryptids that might live within our bodies.
