Deep Underground Military Bases

DUMBs have long been a focal point for conspiracy theorists, primarily due to their secretive nature and the fact that much about their construction, purpose, and operations remains classified. The concept of DUMBs has long been a subject of speculation, with many conspiracy theories claiming that such bases exist in remote areas, sometimes involving extraterrestrial activity, advanced technologies, or even secret government programs. Because these bases are hidden from the public eye, speculation runs rampant about their true functions. Some of the most widely discussed and bizarre theories extend beyond traditional military purposes, involving everything from alien contact to apocalyptic survival plans for the global elite. Tonight, we are going to explore and elaborate on these theories, offering a speculative look at some of the more outlandish claims surrounding DUMBs. Learn more about your ad choices.

The UFO Paradox with Keith Thompson

UFO observer and reporter Keith Thompson has spent decades researching and investigating UFO encounters and other unknown aerial phenomena. The resulting book, "UFO Paradox: The Celestial and Symbolic World of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena," blows the believer/skeptic debate wide open, offering new and extraordinary possibilities about the nature of mind and matter, spirit, and soul. Thompson’s startling conclusions suggest the UFO may be a celestial, metaphysical event. On this episode, Sandman sits down with Mr. Thompson and discusses his book, how he first became interested in UAPs, the toxic skepticism within the UAP community, and his time serving in the administration of President Bill Clinton.

Disclosure & Spiritual Awakening with Nancy Thames

Nancy Thames, a former Department of Defense employee and a lifelong Contactee of Inter Dimensional extraterrestrial beings, has emerged as a significant voice in the realm of alien disclosure and spiritual awakening. Her journey, marked by personal struggles, transformed profoundly through her continuous extraterrestrial encounters. These experiences, initially suppressed, were eventually embraced as Nancy began to understand their purpose in her life and for humanity. She has come to the decisive conclusion: it is Time for Disclosure. Her dedication to this cosmic narrative propelled her to create timefordisclosure.com, a platform advocating for open dialogue about extraterrestrial interactions and the greater implications for humanity. Here, she shares her personal encounters, insights gleaned from beings across dimensions, and her perspective on what these interactions mean for human evolution. Nancy's work underscores a collective call to awakening. She stresses that experiences often labeled as "abductions" are, in her understanding, enlightened contacts, part of a broader, benevolent interaction with extraterrestrial entities aiming to usher humanity into a new era of cosmic participation. This mission, conveyed through her writing and community engagement, is driven by a philosophy of unity, spiritual evolution, and the pursuit of truth, extending an invitation to all of humanity to acknowledge and embrace our place within the larger galactic framework.  She says that she has a goal and a mission for Humanity to acknowledge and embrace our place within the larger galactic framework.

Water and Unexplained Phenomena

Water acts as a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms, so it makes sense that ghosts might tap into it to make their presence known. This idea proposes that the energy in water helps spirits create a space where they can connect with the living. You often see this theme in paranormal TV shows and movies, where water is shown as a hotspot for ghostly happenings. Throughout history, various cultures have thought that those who drown turn into spectral guardians, watching over their waters and keeping evil at bay. In fact, some societies have even performed ritual sacrifices of living beings when building bridges, believing that this act would ensure a constant protector for the structure. The Bermuda Triangle is probably one of the most famous spots when it comes to strange happenings in the water. This stretch of ocean, located between Miami, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico, has gained a reputation for its eerie disappearances. Over the years, countless planes and ships have simply vanished without a single clue. Theories about these mysterious vanishings range from alien encounters to otherworldly forces at play. Some folks think that geological activities beneath the waves, like massive bubbles of methane or sudden ocean currents, might explain why things go missing in the Bermuda Triangle. Still, the whole area is wrapped in an unsettling vibe of paranormal intrigue and fear due to all the unexplained events that have taken place there. Water has always been linked to a bunch of mysterious happenings, whether it's ghosts and spirits, strange lights and sounds, or even UFOs and aliens. It's also been tied to those eerie cases of unexplained deaths and disappearances. Does water have some sort of unknown property in it that makes it a conduit for all of these unusual events? What is it about water that attracts UFOs? Why do people go missing around bodies of water, never to be found? Well, that’s what we’re trying to answer tonight.

The Lake Michigan Triangle

Tonight, I’ll be winding up my summer series on Triangles of Death by taking us on an exploration of the Lake Michigan Triangle. This Triangle of Death isn’t as widely known on a global scale, like the Bermuda Triangle, but it’s history is just as full of the bizarre and the unexplained as any place on earth. In the first episode, I took us on a dive of the Devil’s Triangle, just off the coast of Japan. The Devil’s Triangle is the home of many mysterious disappearances, sunken ships, strange lights in the sky, and is responsible for hundreds of deaths. In the previous episode, I took us on a trek through the Bridgewater Triangle, a 200 square mile area in Massachusetts. Though its landlocked, its home of a mysterious swamp that is said to be haunted by the local Native American tribe of the Wampanoags. This Triangle of Death is also the location of mysterious disappearances, strange lights in the sky, UFO sightings, hauntings and is also responsible for the deaths of many. Stretching from Ludington to Benton Harbor, Michigan and to Manitowoc, Wisconsin, the Lake Michigan Triangle has inspired numerous accounts of activity that are difficult to explain by rational thought.  From dancing lights in the skies above it to a cryptic, underwater “Stonehenge” under its waters, Lake Michigan is steeped in aquatic oddities—enough to rival even those of the Bermuda and Devil’s Triangles in the first two episodes of this series. But what’s the story behind the aptly-dubbed “Michigan Triangle,” the Great Lakes’ claim to paranormal fame? Is it all smoke and mirrors or, like the lake itself, something with a bit more depth? Come with me as we explore some of the unique phenomena that make the Lake Michigan Triangle a true mystery. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Bridgewater Triangle

Tonight is the second episode in my Summer Series about Triangles of Death. In this episode, we’re going to be looking into the Bridgewater Triangle, a 200 square mile area just south of Boston, Mass. Like the Bermuda and Devil’s Triangles, this area is the home of many mysterious disappearances, unusual happenings and sightings of ghosts and UFOs over the decades. However, unlike the Bermuda and Devil’s Triangles, this particular Triangle of Death is landlocked, although it does contain a swamp. Is the presence of water a key element in these Triangles of Death? I don’t know. All I can say is “maybe.” Another difference between the Bridgewater and the Bermuda and Devil’s Triangles is the presence of cryptids. Just about anything that you want to be in the Bridgewater Triangle is in there. If you're into zombies, there's stories about zombies. If you're into Bigfoot, he's there. If you're into pukwudgies, their all over the place. If you're into ghosts, you've got it. UFOs, black helicopters — they’re all there." To learn more, you’ll have to Turn On, Tune In, & Find Out!

Did Hitler Survive WW II, Part 2

If you have been a loyal listener to this podcast for the last several years, you’ll know that one of my favorite topics to talk about are the Nazis. Over the years I’ve devoted more than a handful of episodes to Hitler, Himmler, the Nazi Party as a whole and their occult practices. It’s a fascinating topic for me and I’ve spent probably hundreds of hours of my life researching it. As a matter-of-fact, the most popular episodes in my catalogue come from the 2014 Summer Series that I devoted to the Nazis. One of those episodes consisted of my investigation of if Adolf Hitler escaped Berlin in 1945, and lived his life in secret elsewhere. That episode is in the top three most listened to or downloaded episodes in the history of the podcast. With April 30th being the 73rd anniversary of the “official” death of Adolf Hitler, and since my investigation into that supposed suicide is one of the most popular episodes that I’ve done, I’ve decided to reopen that case file and take another look at the death of Adolf Hitler. Did he actually die in that secret bunker in 1945, or did he fake his death and escape Berlin as it literally burned down around him? Did he flee to Argentina, Antartica, or somewhere else? Or did he actually die before April 30, 1945? To learn more, you’ll have to Turn On, Tune In, & Find Out! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What Happened to JFK's Brain?

Tonight, you and I are going to be investigating a familiar event in US history. However, we’re not going to be looking at it in the usual way. Why would we? This is the ParaReality Podcast, and one thing we definitely don’t do is look at things in a normal way. We're going to investigate a conspiracy theory within a conspiracy theory. A mystery wrapped in an enigma. It’s an almost 60-year-old cold case that has just been begging to be solved, yet there is very little evidence as to who committed the crime, or why. All we have is circumstantial evidence and speculation. On Nov. 22, 1963, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, who was president of the United States, was assassinated while driving through Dallas, Texas. He was emergently taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital, where he was officially pronounced dead at 1:00 PM local time. Later that night, his brain, or what was left of it, was removed during his autopsy and has been the subject of controversy, speculation and conspiracy theories ever since. America has been perplexed by the whereabouts of JFK's brain since 1966 when it mysteriously disappeared from the National Archives. Almost sixty years later, there are still those in the United States who ponder the true culprits behind John F. Kennedy's assassination. However, another inquiry looms large: What became of JFK's brain? While the late president's body rests at Arlington National Cemetery, his brain has remained missing since 1966. Was it pilfered to cover up evidence? Snatched by his brother? Or could it be that the brain was substituted before it even went missing? To learn more, you’ll have to Turn On, Tune In, & Find Out!

The Tylenol Murders

A series of unexplained deaths in Chicago in 1982 starts a nationwide manhunt. The victims are connected by one frightening detail: It looks like all these people took Tylenol and died the same day. Almost every home and hospital in America had Tylenol in them somewhere. But what if these people weren’t killed at random? Can the elusive killer finally be identified and brought to justice? Who actually committed the Chicago Tylenol murders? Was it career con man, or was it a self-described closet chemist? Or perhaps it was one of the most famous domestic terrorists in the history of the United States. Tonight I will uncover the top theories surrounding an ongoing FBI investigation into the over 40 year old case and maybe bring into light some information that you’ve never heard of. Can this elusive killer finally be brought to justice? To learn that, you’ll have to Turn On, Tune In, & Find Out! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Yucca Man

In and around the Mojave desert, there have been reports of mysterious creatures, given different names like the Mojave Bigfoot, Sierra Highway Devil, and Marvin of the Mojave. Locals in the Antelope Valley area might recognize these terms as referring to a local cryptid known as the Yucca Man. This creature is believed to be a version of the legendary Bigfoot adapted to desert life. It's said to inhabit parts of Southern California, Nevada, and Arizona, with sightings dating back to the 1970s, particularly in the Antelope Valley area. The Yucca Man was first sighted on a night in 1971 at the Twentynine Palms Marine base. Different versions of the story exist, but generally, it's told that a marine guard who was on duty was found the next morning unconscious, with his rifle bent in half. According to the Marine, a large, hairy figure emerged from the darkness and approached him. The Marine tried to stop the figure by raising his rifle and giving orders, but the creature took the rifle and bent it in half. The Marine was then knocked out. The creature was described as having glowing red eyes and a foul smell. Both the FBI and CIA were involved in investigating the incident, but the details of their findings remain unclear. There were apparently at least two other sightings of similar figures on that same night. One report mentioned a 12-foot-tall figure accompanied by a smaller one. Other accounts came from people whose dogs were constantly barking at something in the area. Just who, or what is the Yucca Man? Is he a Sasquatch, or some version of him, like a cousin? Is he a completely different cryptid? Is he an alien? Or is he actually just the figment of overactive imaginations? To learn that, you’ll have to Turn On, Tune In, & Find Out!

Le Loyon

In the early 2000’s the shadow of a man dressed in leathers, wearing a gas mask and soldier camo, haunted the forest of Maules, in Switzerland’s Canton of Fribourg. He would walk the same path and always linger just long enough for some passerby to catch a glimpse. They called him Le Loyon, “The Ghost Of Maules”. He was only seen in brief glimpses. Those who encountered him said that while he never showed any aggression towards them, they nevertheless were left with feelings of uneasiness. This Le Loyon was an Urban Legend that was spoken about only in hushed whispers. The citizens of Maules were frightened of him, though they couldn’t actually prove that he even existed. That all came to an end in 2013 when the only picture of Le Loyon was captured by an unknown photographer. Soon after that, Le Loyon disappeared completely. Some say that he committed suicide. Others say that he transitioned into something else, not of this plane. Just who, or what, was Le Loyon? What were the circumstances behind his appearances? What happened to him?

Update About the Podcast

It has been a while since I've recorded and uploaded a new episode of the ParaReality Podcast and I'm sure that many of you have been wondering what has been going on. Unfortunately for me, I was involved in an accident the week before Thanksgiving, which required me to be hospitalized for several days. I also had to undergo surgery and have my left patella reconstructed and some hardware placed in my knee. As a result of that, I've now got an old-school plaster cast on my left leg that goes from my upper thigh to my toes, and my left leg is completely straight. I am confined to a bed until Dec. 26, and whenever I do get up, I have to have assistance. I can only walk with the use of a walker, and can only go short distances. This means that I am unable to get into the Secret Bunker to record new episodes for the next several weeks. Therefore, I have no choice but to take a hiatus from the podcast for a while so I can concentrate on my recovery. I wish that I could have been able to update everyone sooner, however I just haven't felt like it, to be completely honest. I don't know how long I will be out, however I will keep you all updated on my social media. The links can be found by clicking on the "Podcast Links" button at the top of this website. I'm not much for sharing a lot of personal information, however I will post weekly updates on my recovery and timeline to return to recording the podcast.
