The Science of Dreams, Ghosts and Premonition (with stories!)

Spring-heeled Jack

Before Jack the Ripper, another Jack caused terror on the streets of London, Spring-heeled Jack. This seemingly shape shifting entity would attack at will, then leap over huge walls to make his escape. Was Spring-heeled Jack a man playing sick pranks, a cryptid, an imp or devil, or even an alien stranded in the early 1800s. We investigated. 

Nuclear Cryptids

Could nuclear mutation be responsible for creating some of the strange cryptids people have encountered. We explore stories of giant headless bats, human size talking rabbits, and singing mice. Oh and we also have a beaver who became a bishop!

The Uri Geller and James Randi Feud

In the early 1970s Uri Geller was taking the United States by storm demonstrating his psychic abilities. But one man, the magician James Randi, believed Geller's powers were not paranormal. Randi published a book 'The Truth About Uri Geller', which led to multiple lawsuits and a twenty year feud between the two men. We discuss the book and the aftermath.
