IN THIS EPISODE: Investigators noted the hair on the alleged victim's arms was singed, and the skin burned. The grass where he claimed to have had the encounter was also scorched. Did this scoutmaster and the boys with him truly experience a real UFO sighting in 1952, or was it all a hoax? (The Scouts and the UFO) *** An atheist tells his story about being possessed by demons... or maybe he wasn’t. (I Thought I Was Possessed By The Devil) *** Is the Thunderbird real or myth?  Most would say it is myth – or if it was real, it’s now extinct....

CIA MIND CONTROL: The Terrifying Truth About MKUltra, Remote Viewing & Psychic Spies

CIA MIND CONTROL: The Terrifying Truth About MKUltra, Remote Viewing & Psychic Spies

The CIA spent decades experimenting with psychic spies who could remotely view enemy secrets, and creating mind control programs that may have created assassins. The chilling possibility is that these programs never really ended. Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicate IN THIS EPISODE: It was kept secret for years that the U.S. government spent millions of dollars and decades of research and experiments looking into the paranormal, trying to weaponize psychic powers like remote viewing and mind control. We were told they didn’t find much success – but could that be part of an ongoing secret? What if they did succeed, but don’t want us to know due to “national security” reasons? And what if they aren’t just spying on our enemies, but also on us, the country’s citizens? And if they can do that… can they also control our minds to make us think and do whatever they wish? It’s a disturbing journey.  ABOUT WEIRD DARKNESS: Weird Darkness is a true crime and paranormal podcast narrated by professional award-winning voice actor, Darren Marlar.

THE FEAR THAT CREEPS LIKE A CAT | Old Time Radio Mystery – When Detectives Face the Supernatural

THE FEAR THAT CREEPS LIKE A CAT | Old Time Radio Mystery – When Detectives Face the Supernatural

Three detectives enter a mansion plagued by phantom cats, but the greatest danger may be whoever — or whatever — is controlling them. | #RetroRadio EP0459 A trio of detectives get involved in a sinister case surrounding a supposedly haunted mansion plagued by eerie feline phenomena. They are drawn into investigating unexplained catlike scrabbling sounds echoing through empty halls, shadows that slink across walls — and the unnerving question: is there a supernatural presence stalking the place, or is someone exploiting local superstition for darker schemes?
