Mysteries and Monsters

In this book, Ronald Kinsella questions the validity of a number of alien, UFO and cryptid reports which range from the unusual, to the very bizarre, throughout the world. This interrogation is not based on their authenticity, rather, questioning a much darker aspect to their origins and of a seemingly fragmented phenomenon. We discuss the possibilities of one force perhaps being behind all manner of unusual encounters with some intriguing ideas. The book can be found here: Thank you to Ronald for joining me.

We enter the world of divination and tarot this week with author and reader Alaric Albertsson who guides us into the world of reading through a standard set of playing cards. For many, a normal pack of cards was more than sufficient to enable seers and those attuned to receiving messages to find guidance in the past until Tarot took hold in the late 19th centrury. With a history shrouded in mystery we look through the magic and mystery to uncover the power of cards. His books can be found here: Thank you to Alaric for joining me.

Over the last few years, a series of sightings of a strange flying creature began to be reported in and around the city of Chicago, leaving witnesses baffled, bewildered and shocked. What on earth were people seeing both in the skies and in close encounters on terra firma? My guest this week has been investigating these strange encounters since 2017 and released his first book, "The Lake Michigan Mothman" focusing on the cases. Now, with Unsolved Mysteries covering the encounters and a raft of witnesses speaking on camera, the Chicago Mothman case has taken a more intriguing turn.
