The Perception Veil

Wild, wonderful, West Virginia. Maybe they could throw in ‘weird’. There have been some strange things reported to have happened in different parts of the state back in the 1950s and 60s. Both created nationwide and even global attention for the tiny towns, with tourists and lookey-loos descending like locusts. Were these hoaxes perpetrated to attract the gullible with pockets full of cash and make a quick buck? Or were these true reports of other-worldly or extraterrestrial creatures?

He was known by the most famous figures of European history. He enticed royals and the rich alike with his vast knowledge of science and history, his musical ability, his easy charm, and humor. He spoke 12 languages and he could play the violin like a virtuoso and was an accomplished painter. Did the Comte de Saint Germain acquire this knowledge naturally? Or was he a time traveler who was able to learn so much because time was infinite?  Also, in 2002, a French Catholic priest and writer published a book, titled The New Vatican Mystery.  In it, he wrote of a device called the Chronovisor that allowed the user to look and hear into the distant past. It was housed in the Vatican. Enjoy these two time traveling journeys.  Music from 1:58 - 11:18 Streetlife - Silent Film (ID 981) from the album "Over Midnight' by Lobo Loco. Copyright 2018.

What defines death? Or maybe the better question is, when is dead dead? That may sound like an easily answered question, but death has been determined in a variety of ways through human history. In the 1800s and before, if heart and lung function were not detected, the person was deemed to have passed on. Yet there were many cases of very sick or catatonic people being buried alive.  Later in the 20th century, the cessation of brain activity was viewed as the end of life. Yet the heart and lungs could be pumped to keep the brain dead person technically alive. And then there was the debate in 2002 about cerebral death versus whole brain death. Here are 4 accounts of a beloved family member finding a way to reach from beyond the grave to deliver a message of comfort.

Dear old mom … there is nothing on earth like a mother’s love for her child.  She’d stand between you and a hungry lion. She’d give you the last piece of bread on Earth if it came to that. All else is secondary to her child. Now…what if that woman was replaced? I’m not talking about a step-mom or anything like that. I mean, what if the woman you knew to be your mom was replaced by something resembling your mom. But things weren’t quite right … similar but just not quite your mom. That would be weird, right? Well, here are two stories about things lurking beyond the perception veil that are a little bit too scary to comprehend.  And hey...do YOU have a strange, paranormal, supernatural, spooky, perhaps sasquatch-y, or ufo, alien story?  I would love to read it.

Two stories in today's episode. First a family's close encounter with an alien craft in 1977 left them wondering where did the time go. And more recently, a woman's vivid account of what she believes were aliens in her bedroom left her more with a sense of awe and comfort than sheer terror.

There are strange, powerful and unexplainable forces in our world. Many have been witness to the awesome power of something other-worldly.  For some, it’s fascinating but for others, the experience can be a terrifying glimpse into a realm that most of us never see or encounter. Here is a story of an Alabama man who came face to face with a creature on the backroads of Alabama that he cannot explain.  And hey...do YOU have a strange, paranormal, supernatural, spooky, perhaps sasquatch-y, or ufo, alien story?  I would love to read it.

Bigfoot, Sasquatch, in the southern parts of the US, it’s a Skunk Ape, in Australia, it’s the Yowie, in Asia, the Yeti.  People from all different Cultures across the globe have shared traditional stories about Super-sized creatures that haunt deep woods in remote spots of the world; cryptids that have long eluded search and capture and so have been resigned to myth and lore. Here are three terrifyingly close encounters with a hairy creature that was anything BUT a myth.

To those of us who consider ourselves 'normal,' in this sense meaning we are unable or unwilling to venture beyond what we can see and feel, this is an area that causes fear and trepidation.  But there are a few among us who are extraordinary, who have the ability to see a thousand unseen tomorrows. Those who are not only able but also willing to throw open that shadowy curtain and provide a conduit to that other realm.  This is a story about one of those amazing people.

Road trips are great, aren't they? Just you and the open road with no real destination in mind and plenty of time to get there. Until it nearly turns deadly. A young woman and her dog on a trek to embrace the tranquility of nature,  commune with the great outdoors, and see America. But it spiraled into a bewildering ordeal where the boundaries between reality and the unknown blurred, leaving her to grapple with the mystery of the Perception Veil.

A hairy creature lurking in the woods … the snapping of twigs indicating you are being followed and watched. Reports of sightings and encounters with hairy beasts in the woods date back centuries and still pop up today. This is a story I received a few years back from a guy who told of his encounter with a strange creature that he gave a funny name to without seeing it … and then once he did see it, he realized there was nothing funny about this creature at all.

There is a boundary between the here and the after but on occasion that line is breached by some ethereal entity or demon. Sometimes it must be guided and other times forced to return to the other side of the veil. Fortunately there are a few among us who have the courage and ability to do just that. This is one of those stories submitted to me.  And hey...do YOU have a strange, paranormal, supernatural, spooky, perhaps sasquatch-y, or ufo, alien story?  I would love to read it.

Tick, tick, tick, tock … the clock does not stop. Time is a fair arbiter of life here on our tiny blue marble floating in the vacuum of space. But is it just a human construct? A non-objective reality. The people in today’s stories seem to bear that out, that life and our recognition of it is merely illusory.  Three stories in today's episode.  'The Fog' (:53) that the first person encounters seems to warp his perception of time. In 'It was right here!' (7:39) a McDonald's was there and then it wasn't. And the last story, 'I miss my wife!' (19:28) our story writer journeyed unwillingly through to another reality in the multiverse.   And hey...do you have a strange, paranormal, supernatural, spooky, sasquatch-y, ufo, alien story?  I would love to read it.

Three stories of horror and terror. First, there is 'Pan' (00:45), a cloven-hoofed entity that haunted a couple in Chehalis, WA. Playful? A little. But there seems to be something darker lurking here. Story two is 'Attached' (13:48) about a guy in Goose Creek, SC who is a little too flippant about his friends entity that moves from person to person.  And last is 'The Man in the Grey Suit' (22:32) which may be one of the most interesting accounts I've ever read.
