Where Did the Road Go? Exploring the Fringe...

On this show we tackle an article written by PZ Myers about The 2016 Paradigm Symposium. In it PZ unfairly attacks both Laird Scranton and Peter Robbins. We address this, as well as attacks on Brien Foerster, David Paulides, etc. This is a re-done version of a podcast we recorded a month or so ago, but deleted due to some factual errors that I myself, Seriah, had continued unknowingly. This is that basic talk, with new material based on the PZ Myers article. We also discuss how the media arrives at facts, and just general ways people dismiss marginal subjects like the Paranormal.

Mike Clelland joins me for Part 2 of our conversation about his book, The Messengers; Owls, Synchronicity, and the UFO Abductee. You can find a previous show in our archive with Mike from 2013 when he was starting this book, but this will go so much deeper into this mystery. Mike is often now known as The Owl Guy due to this research. We will discuss the subtleties of what he investigates, how it all ties together, and what it may teach us about ourselves and the weirdness of the universe.

I am joined by Jashua Cutchin, and for the first time by Tim Binnall of the podcast Binnall of America. We discuss a bit about how our views of the paranormal have changed over time, and we get into conspiracies, and much more. Also a warning to regular listeners, there is a lot of swearing in this one, at least on Tim's part. A lot. You've been warned.

The Mammoth Mountain Poltergeist: In December of 1982, when Tom Ross was thirteen years old, he took a week’s vacation to Mammoth Lakes in California with his aunt, uncle, and cousin. Almost from the moment they arrived at their condo, they experienced a near-constant barrage of bizarre phenomena that escalated over their stay, and seemed to follow them after they left. Items moved around by themselves, shades flew open when no one was near them, bloody tissues appeared out of nowhere, words appeared on windows in empty rooms, a blue haze seemed to hover near the ceiling, a door chain was broken from the inside by what appeared to be a clawed hand, and disembodied voices emerged from corners. The family was simultaneously terrified and amazed. Thirty-two years later, the four witnesses decided to tell their story.

I talk with Jenny Ashford and Tom Ross and we discuss Tom's experiences, as well as what has happened since the book was published.

Her books include two paranormal nonfiction books, The Mammoth Mountain Poltergeist (with poltergeist focus Tom Ross), and The Rochdale Poltergeist (with parapsychologist Steve Mera); three novels, Red Menace, Bellwether, and The Five Poisons; two short story collections, Hopeful Monsters and The Associated Villainies; and a graphic novel, The Tenebrist.
