In 1998 a revolutionary cute interactive toy was launched. Most Furby owners had hours of fun, but for some the experience was closer to something from a Halloween horror movie. Many conspiracy theories followed, the toy was a spying device, was controlling our children, even had a hive mind. We investigate how a toy that looked like the cute version of Gizmo from Gremlins (there's a conspiracy about that as well) could build such a chilling reputation.

The most famous magic trick in the world has infiltrated our culture for years. In its originally described format, it appears to be a feat of impossibility - and it very well might be. This week we go into the story of the magic that never really existed.

Beyond the famous Aintree racecourse lies a darker mystery. For decades, silent processions of hooded, torch-bearing figures haunted a local field. Witnesses, terrified by the Klan-like apparitions, reported sightings stretching from World War II into the 1970s. Who were the Aintree Spectres? Were they ghosts, a secretive far-right group, or an extreme religious sect? Join us as we delve into the eyewitness accounts and investigate the chilling possibility of an ancient pagan cult, the mysterious Lily White Boys, to uncover the truth behind one of Britain's strangest unsolved cases.Join a midnight procession and become a Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/TQMpod Or get your hands on a TQM t-shirt at https://thequantummechanics.teemill.com

We dive into Carl Jung’s paranormal side. We’re not just unpacking his psychology—we’re tracing his encounters with hauntings, synchronicity, and the uncanny that shaped his most enduring ideas: the collective unconscious, archetypes, and a universe that feels alive. From childhood oddities to a famously haunted London cottage, discover how Jung’s experiences coloured his theory of meaning, coincidence, and connection.If you want to help us be at one with the Universe support us by becoming a Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/TQMpod Or get your hands on a TQM t shirt at https://thequantummechanics.teemill.com

Nice to see you. This week, a British legend that refuses to die; A "Man-Monkey" on a lonely canal has evolved into something far more tangible and terrifying. We discus a history of animal killings and a high-level cover-up at a grand stately home, where staff were warned to keep quiet about the "hairy man-beast" stalking the grounds.We then track a recent wave of terrifying encounters, from an upright, sprinting wolf-like creature that haunted a retired couple in Cannock Chase, to a "massive monkey thing" seen running on all fours through a Cambridge suburb. The investigation culminates in the most disturbing story of all: the mysterious 2022 death of a man in a remote wood, found with unexplained injuries after a case that was immediately sealed by an official wall of silence.From a 150-year-old phantom to a modern-day predator, we piece together the evidence and ask what is really haunting the British countryside.

Following our deep dives into uncovered languages, we look at the work of Albert E. Potts who has evidence that the Bible isn't the story of a deity creating the world, but the cold experimental notes of a race of beings who changed the DNA of our ancestors to form a new intelligence on our planet. We look at his reasoning, and the work that supports his claims. But it's not always just aliens that provide the answer. To help us continue our paranormal travels, please consider supporting us at https://www.patreon.com/TQMpod For TQM T Shirts and merch click the link https://thequantummechanics.teemill.com/
