Alien abductions are frightening in themselves let alone when they involve creepy blue beings that invade your bedroom and insert fibre optic rods into your body. On this episode we hear some of the most unusual alien interactions we have ever encountered which result in a hilarious arachnid tale of caution. We then follow a strange Bigfoot-crystal goose chase that involves the legendary Jacques Vallée and a cryptic message from a group calling themselves “The Old Ones”.
Then in our Plus+ extension we shoot the breeze on the possibility of plasma based lifeforms, BOL phenomena and alternate dimensions.

In October of 2000, police in Karachi, Pakistan received a lead that a man by the name of Ali Akbar was attempting to sell a mummy on the black antiquities market for 600 million rupees, or about $11 million, and it was no ordinary mummy, but rather what was advertised as a “Persian Princess.” When police raided the home of Akbar, he folded under interrogation and led them to the house of his co-conspirator, Wali Mohammad Reeki, who lived in the rural desert region in the province of Baluchistan. There they found the mummy in question, along with its sarcophagus, and Reeki admitted that he had purchased the mummy from a man named Sharif Shah Bakhi after he had found it in the aftermath of an earthquake near Quetta, on the border of Iran and Afghanistan. The men were arrested, but the mystery of the mummy was just beginning, leading down a rabbit hole of strange artifacts, intrigue, and murder.

A veterinary nurse in Pwllheli, North Wales, says she’d never seen anything like it – a farmer brought in a three-eyed calf whose third eye had an eyelid and lashes and looked normal. That could explain why the calf’s moos sound more like ‘oms’.
In 1855, renovation work was being carried out on Bishop Audley’s Chantry, a cathedral in England, when something very strange was found languishing away in the darkness beneath the floor. It was a sheet of vellum, or calf skin, measuring about five feet long and four and a half feet wide, and although faded and damaged, when it was examined and restored it was found to be a medieval world map of some sort, one of the largest ever seen. But this was no ordinary map, as upon its sprawling face were many strange features and wonders that have inspired much discussion to this day and has made what has come to be known as the Hereford Mappa Mundi one of the weirdest and most mysterious maps ever found, as well as one of the most significant historical maps in the world.
It all started out as a fun summer day out at the lake with some friends. On Saturday, July 2, 1966, 21-year-old Ann Miller picked up her buddies Patricia Blough (19) and Renee Bruhl (19) in a suburb of Chicago, Illinois, and the three headed out to Indiana Dunes State Park, on the shore of Lake Michigan, for a day of fun in the sun at the beach. They arrived at around 10 AM to a packed beach, the pleasant summer weather bringing people out in droves to go swimming, sunbathing, and boating. Among these lake visitors was a young couple by the names of Mike Yankalasa and Frances Cicero, who had a spot at the beach right near the young women. At around noon, they saw Miller, Blough and Bruhl talking to a tanned, dark-haired young man in his 20s who was aboard a 14 to 16-foot-long white boat with an outboard motor, and after laughing and chatting with the young man on board they got on, leaving all of their belongings on the beach. It would have been a totally normal sight at the time, a
