The Quantum Mechanics - Paranormal Podcast

Hoax or Haunting?

With April Fools day just round the corner, we feature four paranormal stories. But which ones were true ghostly encounters, and which ones were elaborate hoaxes?

Politics and the Paranormal

Does a belief in the paranormal help or hurt politicians chances of getting elected? Are conservatives or liberals more likely to believe in Bigfoot and UFOs? What was going on in China when two talking toads starting making supernatural predictions? Just a few of the questions we try and answer in this episode. Cast your vote for The Quantum Mechanics!

The Jinn Genie and The Satisfaction of Three

We explore the origins of the three wishes, what a genie might actually be, and real life encounters with Jinn. Sausages also play a big part - as does a woodcutter's nose. 
Make our wishes come true by liking, subscribing and reviewing. See, we've done the three thing. 

Science and the Supernatural

We discuss the tension between the scientific community and paranormal beliefs. We feature some stories that have left the scientific and medical profession scratching their heads, and one where the professional conclusion was likely a paranormal one.

I Put A Spell On You - The Power of Words in Death and Life

What is the power of words when delivered as a spell? What even is a spell? We examine the compelling evidence for the power of suggestion, placebo effect and the odd case of a man who was officially scared to death. Plus, Ben conducts an experiment on Peter with the help of a white witch. 

Time: How Soon Is Now?

Ben and Peter, like two drunken men in the pub, try to make sense of time. We delve into Carlo Rovelli's book 'The Order of Time'. What is the past and future? Does the present exist? How did we end up being governed by something we barely understand? How does it all relate to the paranormal? Listen now (if now exists).  

They Might Not Be Giants - Not So Tall Tales of Massive Humanoids

Did giants exist? How big were they? We delve into the one of the greatest giant hoaxes, consider a credible report and look at the earthworks around Stonehenge. 

Supernatural Smells

Our sense of smell could be the most powerful and accurate sense we have, yet we tend to overlook it when it comes to paranormal encounters. Could the stench of the supernatural give us a sniff at what connects UFO, spirit and Big Foot encounters. 

Mysteries of the Dogon, Other Cultures and Western Interpretation

The mystery of the advanced astronomical knowledge of the ancient Dogon people was bought to public awareness in 1977 with the Publication of The Sirius Mystery, by Robert Temple. However, the knowledge of other societies is often overlooked in favour of a Western interpretation of the alien phenomenon, which leads to an interesting discussion about how anthropologists may have not fully accepted the other-worldly truths these beliefs might reveal.
