ParaReality

For decades, unidentified aerial phenomena were dismissed as misidentifications, hoaxes, or fringe speculation. Then the Department of Defense created a permanent office to study them. In this episode of ParaReality, I examine the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office — AARO — and ask the question that matters most: why does it exist? From Cold War investigations like Project Sign, Grudge, and Blue Book to modern encounters like the Tic Tac, Gimbal, and GoFast incidents, we trace the institutional evolution that led to the creation of a centralized office dedicated to analyzing unidentified anomalies across air, sea, and space. What has AARO actually found? What remains unresolved? And what does it mean when the unexplained is no longer dismissed, but formally tracked and investigated? This isn’t about proving what UAP are. It’s about understanding why they’re being taken seriously. Turn On. Tune In. Find Out. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Originally airing on the Live365 Radio Network, this is only the second episode of what was then called ParaReality Radio. This episode is all about the Chupacabra and originally aired on January 3, 2004 The chupacabra ("goat sucker") is an animal said to be unknown to science and systemically killing animals in places like Puerto Rico, Miami, Nicaragua, Chile, and Mexico. The creature's name originated with the discovery of some dead goats in Puerto Rico with puncture wounds in their necks and their blood allegedly drained. According to UFO Magazine there have been more than 2,000 reported cases of animal mutilations in Puerto Rico attributed to the chupacabra. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on ParaReality, Sandman sits down with experiencer and author Bret Oldham to explore a side of contact that rarely gets discussed — what happens after the encounters. Based on themes from his book Children of the Greys: Aftermath, Bret shares what it’s like to live with the long-term psychological, emotional, and personal impact of experiences that don’t come with clear explanations or easy closure. This conversation moves beyond sightings and speculation, diving into memory, identity, family ripple effects, and the challenge of integrating extraordinary experiences into everyday life. Whether you see the phenomenon as external, internal, symbolic, or something else entirely — this episode explores the human side of the unknown.

From late 1896 to mid-1897, thousands across the US reported cigar-shaped "mystery airships" with bright spotlights, impossible speeds, and silent flight years before viable aircraft existed. Centered in the Midwest and California, these sightings—often featuring inventor stories or alien theories—remain largely unexplained, combining mass hysteria, hoaxes, and early UFO lore.  Listen in as the Syndicate discusses the mystery, the sightings and gives their opinions on what these mystery airships could possibly have been.

In Part 2 of this ParaReality investigation into disclosure, Sandman looks beyond the sightings and testimony to ask a more difficult question: why does secrecy persist? From national security and institutional control to public perception and narrative management, this episode explores whether disclosure is unfolding naturally — or being carefully managed. Episode 1 examined what we know. Episode 2 explores why the truth still feels just out of reach. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Wow! Here it is, the very first episode of ParaReality that I ever did. I had just signed up for a Live365 account and all I had was a headset microphone and an idea. I also had no clue what I was doing! I think that the first version of ParaReality Radio was a unique one. It combined stories of the paranormal with a nice dose of rock music, ending with one of the most popular segments that I ever did - News of the Strange. Back then, I could get away with playing music because Live365 covered me with music licensing. I know I'm not supposed to play licensed music without permission, but I feel that I need to keep the integrity of the original episode by keeping it as is. If I get into trouble, so be it. For some reason, I decided that for my very first episode of ParaReality ever, I wanted to tackle the story of the Devil's Footprints. a legend of hoof-like marks left by the Devil left in Devon, England. After heavy snowfall, mysterious, hoof-like prints appeared in a straight line for over 100 miles, crossing obstacles like rooftops and rivers, causing widespread panic. Explanations vary from escaped animals (kangaroos, donkeys) and unusual atmospheric conditions to a hoax, but the mystery remains unsolved.  Please keep in mind that this was the very first episode that I did, so I had no clue what I was doing. It's definitely not my best work by far. That being kept in mind, it is what it is. I hope you can appreciate it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Flying saucers were once dismissed as fantasy — until pilots, radar data, and Congress changed the conversation. In this episode of ParaReality, Sandman is joined by author and researcher Maxim W.

This isn’t just about what’s in the sky — it’s about belief, psychology, and how the phenomenon may be shaping humanity itself. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

For decades, the subject of UFOs — now known as UAPs — was dismissed, ridiculed, or buried beneath layers of secrecy. But in recent years, something has changed. Congressional hearings have been held. Military pilots have testified under oath. Whistleblowers have stepped forward. And the U.S. government has openly acknowledged that unidentified objects are operating in our skies. So why does it still feel like we’re not getting any real answers? In Episode 1 of this two-part ParaReality investigation into disclosure, host Sandman examines what we actually know — and how we got here. From the early days of Roswell and Project Blue Book to modern Pentagon programs, public hearings, and high-profile whistleblower testimony, this episode traces the evolving government narrative surrounding the UAP phenomenon. Along the way, we explore a troubling pattern: acknowledgment without explanation, testimony without accountability, and movement without resolution. If credible witnesses are speaking under oath, why aren’t their claims being fully investigated? And if the phenomenon is real, why does transparency always seem to stop just short of the truth? This episode doesn’t tell you what to believe — it lays out the facts, the history, and the unanswered questions, allowing you to draw your own conclusions. Episode 1 sets the stage.

This isn't an episode of ParaReality. This is another episode of the Paranormal Nashville show when I was actually interviewed and not the co-host. The show was hosted by my good friend Tony Pratt. It focused on all of the unusual activity that happened in and around the Nashville, TN area. I don't know the date this episode originally aired. In it, we talked about how I got into the paranormal, how I got involved in radio and some of my paranormal experiences. The audio is a little low on this, so you will need to turn your volume up. My thanks goes out to Tony Pratt for giving me permission to use this interview. To learn more, you’ll have to Turn On, Tune In, & Find Out! Learn more about your ad choices.

In this explosive season finale, Sandman sits down with author and JFK researcher Anthony Pratt to unravel the hidden network he believes was responsible for the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

Together, we examine the motives, connections, and suppressed evidence that challenge the official narrative and paint a far darker picture of November 22, 1963.

In this gripping episode, I'm diving deep into the labyrinthine darkness surrounding Jeffrey Epstein – a name synonymous not just with unfathomable evil, but with a global network of wealth, power, and deeply disturbing secrets. From his enigmatic rise from a modest background to his intimate connections with presidents, royalty, tech moguls, and whispers of intelligence agencies, I'll peel back the layers of Epstein's life. We'll explore how his alleged "financial firm" was a front for a sophisticated blackmail operation, gathering compromising material on the world's most powerful individuals. But the core of this investigation lies in "The Epstein Files" themselves: the sealed court documents, FBI evidence, and rumored surveillance tapes that hold the key to who was involved, what they did, and why this truth remains so fiercely suppressed. I'll reveal the shocking details that have emerged from recent civil lawsuits in the U.S. Virgin Islands, implicating major financial institutions and hinting at a systemic failure to hold the powerful accountable. This isn't just a story about a convicted pedophile; it's a profound examination of power, corruption, and the fight for justice in a world where the elite seem to operate above the law. Join me as I demand transparency, because when it comes to the Epstein Files, the truth is rarely what it seems, and the public has a right to know. Learn more about your ad choices.

This past May, I found myself nestled in the heart of the Smoky Mountains — a land thick with folklore, ancient spirits, and more than a few eyewitness accounts of the unexplained. I was at the Smoky Mountain Bigfoot Festival in beautiful Townsend, Tennessee, and let me tell you — this wasn’t just a celebration of Sasquatch. This was a gathering of the weird, the wild, and the wonderfully haunted. I wasn’t just there as a fan. I went to collect the voices of the people who’ve seen things — things they can’t always explain, things they’ve never forgotten. I set up a small booth, a humble little station tucked between a moonshine distillery tent and a guy selling hand-carved Bigfoot statues. I asked one simple question to everyone who walked by:“Have you ever experienced something... paranormal?” And man... they delivered. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
