No, the title of this post is not meant to imply that the strange things witnessed around the world are purely artifacts of our inner consciousness, nor is such a statement intended to disturb the faithful.

However, we must from time to time consider what kinds of things–often strange in their own right–can “trigger” paranormal experiences that do stem from within the mind.

It’s been the subject of books and films, and it’s destructive potential impact on the future of humankind is not only deadly, it’s also very real.

In William R. Forstechen’s best-selling novel One Second After, an unidentified enemy of the United States launches a nuclear missile into the upper stratosphere over the United States, creating an EMP (electromagnetic pulse) which knocks out the electrical grid in most–if not all–of the United States.

The Diva of Darkness: Rare Palladino Seances Now Online

Jun 17th in Featured & Spirituality by Amelia Crater

Once upon a time at the turn of the 20th century “physical mediums”– the kind who claimed to manifest ethereal apparitions, cause sort-of-seen spirits to knock on walls and rock seance tables — were all the rage.

Given the mad skills required to float a sofa with your mind, it’s not exactly surprising that a sizable percentage of  these physical mediums were caught levitating their clients’ wallets instead of the furniture.

The Brain Game: Can Humans Grasp Mysteries of the Cosmos?

Often, reports of UFOs become so bizarre and convoluted in the way they are explained that they fall just short of being comprehensive (and perhaps more often, they seem to miss any and all logic by more than a nautical mile).

Thus, the stranger aspects of the UFO experience, particularly the manner in which alleged UFO craft are able to move and maneuver, are so strange to humans that the reports are dismissed outright as hallucinations, gross misinterpretations, or outright lies.

MU vs The Ozone Nightmare

Unplugged Days by Y0si via http://www.flickr.com/photos/1080p/2816873311/

At the beginning of our week off Aaron and I sat down with Joe and Lando from the The Ozone Nightmare for a fun two part recording with no particular topic or agenda.

Plus+ subscribers will find Part 1 of the show in their feeds while Part 2 is hosted over at The Ozone Nightmare.

Keep in mind this is not a Mysterious Universe episode and the subject matter is pretty “off topic” from our regular bread and butter. Expect video games, comics, movies etc.. oh and there’s a lap dance in the first 30 minutes.

Note: Language Warning on this show for sensitive listeners!
