Tonight we’re going all the way back to January of 2004. This was only the third episode that I ever did and back then I was on the Live365 Radio network. At that time, it was Internet Radio, and not podcasting, that was the big thing. In fact, podcasting didn’t even exist. I didn’t have anything except for a headset microphone that I plugged directly into the 3.5mm microphone jack on the computer. I couldn’t afford anything else. I think you’ll be able to tell by the sound quality that what I was working with wasn’t very expensive. But all I needed was that headset, a computer and an internet connection and my dream of having my own radio talk show was realized. On this episode, I’m discussing the Spirits of the Dead – what they are and how to contact them. I was still learning how to be a talk show host, and the identity of the show hadn’t been established yet. You’ll definitely be able to tell it. It would take me a while to develop my style and make the show what I wanted. Anyway, I hope you’ll take the time to listen to at least part of this episode. It kind of shows you how far I’ve come. I present to you ParaReality Flashback, episode 3 – Spirits of the Dead. Originally recorded on January 25, 2004. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What if the things we call ghosts…aren’t the only ones watching? Tonight on ParaReality, Sandman sits down with D. Paul—U.S. Navy veteran, Native American Holy Man, and spiritual warrior—to explore the terrifying true inspiration behind Mystery’s at the Windham Inn: The Feral Feline. At the center of this story lies the Windham Inn, a place steeped in centuries of tragedy, where the line between the living and the unseen has all but disappeared. Here, dark entities don’t just haunt—they hunt. And the battle for one man’s soul reveals something far bigger than a traditional haunting. Because lurking behind the veil are the Watchers—mysterious beings who observe, record, and, at times, intervene. Are they spiritual guardians…or something closer to what we now call non-human intelligence? As Season 20 dives deep into UFOs and Disclosure, this episode asks a chilling question: What if the paranormal, the spiritual, and the extraterrestrial are all part of the same hidden reality? From ancient curses and generational hauntings to portals, possession, and unseen forces manipulating free will—this is more than a ghost story. It’s a glimpse into a war that may have been unfolding around us for centuries. Turn on. Tune in. And find out. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In one of the most persistent conspiracy theories of the modern era, legendary filmmaker Stanley Kubrick is accused of helping the U.S. government stage the historic Apollo 11 Moon Landing. But where did this theory come from—and is there any truth behind it? In this episode of Midnight Syndicate, Sandman and Easy E explore the strange intersection of Hollywood, Cold War paranoia, and one of humanity’s greatest achievements. From Kubrick’s groundbreaking film 2001: A Space Odyssey to the hidden symbolism conspiracy theorists claim to see in The Shining, we break down the claims, the “evidence,” and the psychological reasons this theory refuses to die. Was Kubrick secretly recruited by NASA to film the greatest deception in history? Did he hide clues in his movies? Or is the story itself a fascinating example of how myth and mistrust shape modern conspiracies? Step into the shadows of cinema, secrecy, and the Space Race as we ask the question: Did Stanley Kubrick fake the Moon landing? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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

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. Pratt — former editor of The JFK Assassination Report: 13 Shots and author of JFK Masterminds, Assassinations: The Day America Wept, and Mystery US Universe: Origin & Destiny — presents a sprawling case involving CIA operatives, Mafia figures, political power brokers, Cuban exile groups, foreign intelligence agencies, covert shooters, and an enigmatic shadow organization known as Night Shade. Together, we examine the motives, connections, and suppressed evidence that challenge the official narrative and paint a far darker picture of November 22, 1963. Whether you agree with the theory or not, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
