About This Show

When it comes to unexplained phenomena, it is just that. Unexplained. We try to approach this from as many different ways as possible, and to throw out the assumptions that have driven research for a very long time. These strange experiences people have, no matter what you want to label or catagorize them as, are real in some way. They have been reported throughout history and across cultures. If nothing else, they are a very Human experience. None of the theories we have may even come close to divining what we are actually experiencing, if they did, we would have some answers.

Some of that comes from understanding ourselves, and some of that comes from having a truly open mind in confronting those things that defy explanation.

This goes all over the place, gets pretty deep and subtle at times, and makes some strange connections.
