Alien Abductee (S02E29)

Pauline Dakin, author of Run, Hide, Repeat: A Memoir of a Fugitive Childhood, grew up amid sudden moves, secrecy and unexplained fear. Later, she was told her family had been fleeing the mafia under the protection of a covert organisation. Her investigation revealed a very different story.In S6E15 of Strange & Mysterious World, Pauline recounts the trusted minister at the centre of her family's secret world, letters presented as coming from relatives, and the test that finally broke the story apart. We explore trust, manipulation, the expert explanations she sought about delusional disorder, and the lasting cost of believing those closest to us.The hosts also explore possible paranormal interpretations; Pauline offers her own grounded explanation. This is a personal account of family experience, not a clinical diagnosis or medical advice.Explore documentaries on consciousness, ancient wisdom and the human spirit with Eleusis TV: https://eleusistv.com/FIND PAULINE DAKINOfficial website: https://pauline-dakin.squarespace.com/Run, Hide, Repeat — book: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/547427/run-hide-repeat-by-pauline-dakin/Podcast and listening links: https://linktr.ee/paulinedakinUniversity of King's College profile: https://ukings.ca/people/pauline-dakin/Public professional contact: [email protected]:00 The secret note and introduction00:59 A childhood of secrecy and sudden moves04:48 Who was Stan Sears?06:33 The phone call and motel meeting07:55 The supposed mafia threat12:12 Explore Eleusis TV12:30 Basement fights, coded messages and rescue stories17:08 Making the threat feel real18:26 Living with fear and misplaced trust23:22 The test that exposed the story27:38 Family doubles and mysterious letters31:24 Was anything supernatural involved?33:43 Understanding delusional disorder38:03 Confronting Stan39:37 Her mother's work with dreams40:51 Journalism and a new novel42:49 A discussion of addiction treatments45:02 Why do we trust people?48:03 What Pauline wants families to understand49:51 Closing reflections#PaulineDakin #RunHideRepeat #DelusionalDisorder #StrangeAndMysteriousWorld Hosted on Acast.

Could the Mount Kailash described in ancient Indian texts be a different mountain? Indo-Tibetan historian Alex McKay joins Strange & Mysterious World to explore Mount Kailash, Shiva and his argument that Shri Kailash near the source of the Ganges may hold an overlooked place in this sacred history.Alex recounts his gruelling 1986 pilgrimage through Tibet and the journey that led him into decades of Himalayan research. We explore why Kailash draws pilgrims from different faiths, the legend of Milarepa, the relationship between landscape and spiritual experience, and how stories about sacred places change over time.We also discuss extraordinary claims surrounding Kailash—including rapid ageing and time distortion—and Alex explains why he distinguishes those stories from evidence. His identification of Shri Kailash is presented as a historical argument, not an established conclusion.An interview about faith, endurance and the search for meaning in the sacred Himalayas.Strange & Mysterious World | Season 6, Episode 14ELEUSIS TVhttps://eleusistv.com/FIND ALEX McKAYIn Search of Mount Kailash: Travels in the Sacred HimalayaPublisher and book information — Sun Rider Press:https://www.sunriderpress.com/Indian edition — Rachna Books:https://rachnabooks.com/shop/Academic profile and research background — IIAS:https://www.iias.asia/profile/alex-mckayCHAPTERS00:00 The pilgrimage that nearly killed him00:14 Introducing Alex McKay00:53 Why Mount Kailash is sacred01:49 The journey into Tibet05:16 Exhaustion, help and a life transformed12:30 Was the original Kailash elsewhere?15:53 Weather, mystery and the mountain19:07 Swami Sundarananda and Himalayan practice21:26 Spiritual learning: Himalayas or city life?24:49 Sacred traditions, climbing and ancient legends29:53 Why the summit remains unclimbed35:37 Milarepa and the mountain legends39:11 Time-machine stories and the evidence43:23 A personal experience and its cautions47:18 Pilgrimage, humility and hope48:33 In Search of Mount Kailash#MountKailash #AlexMcKay #Shiva #Himalayas #StrangeAndMysteriousWorld Hosted on Acast.

What if sharks don't just recognize individual humans, but remember who helped them? After more than 30 years working underwater with wild sharks, Cristina Zenato reveals extraordinary encounters that challenge almost everything we've been taught about these animals. In this episode of Strange & Mysterious World, we explore the intelligence, personalities and surprising communication of sharks, including sharks that deliberately approach Cristina, allow her to remove fishing hooks from their bodies, and then behave completely differently toward her afterward. Cristina describes the remarkable story of Foggy Eye, a shark who allowed her to reach inside her mouth and remove a hook and from that day forward began coming to her and resting against her. We also explore: • Whether sharks recognize individual human beings • Why different sharks appear to have completely different personalities • Whether animals communicate with humans beyond spoken language • The experiment involving mentally communicating with sharks • Why fear may completely distort our perception of predators • Why great white sharks can be encountered outside cages — but why Cristina still wouldn't recommend it commercially • How Jaws changed our perception of sharks • Why dolphins and orcas may be far less innocent than popular culture suggests • What nearly five years of accumulated time underwater taught Cristina about human consciousness • Why she says sharks can “strip you raw” and reveal who you really are • What sharks have taught her about fear, prejudice and being human This conversation isn't really just about sharks. It's about intelligence, consciousness, communication — and whether humanity has drastically underestimated the minds of the animals sharing this planet with us. Watch to the end and tell us in the comments: Do you believe animals can recognize and communicate with individual human beings in ways science still doesn't fully understand?

Can someone describe a place they have NEVER seen using nothing but a random number?In this blind remote viewing experiment, Ryan works through an unknown target live while William and Lee reveal their own sessions afterward. None of them know the destination. Then the target is finally shown, and some of the correspondences are extremely difficult to ignore.Ryan describes a museum-like interior, windows, unusual floors, height, enclosed spaces and descending stairs. William repeatedly receives water, elevation and structures. Lee records a man-made structure, domes and other impressions.Then comes the reveal: a mysterious museum constructed into a sacred mountain in Osh, Kyrgyzstan.Ryan Kralik, managing editor of Aperture, the publication of the International Remote Viewing Association, also discusses his training around members of the Stargate remote viewing community, controlled remote viewing (CRV), monitoring, intuition, operational targets and why experienced remote viewers still question what is happening.Whether you believe remote viewing is psychic perception, unexplained information transfer, coincidence, subconscious pattern recognition or something science hasn't adequately explained yet, watch the experiment from beginning to end and make up your own mind.Could you explain what happened here? Tell us your theory in the comments, and subscribe to Strange & Mysterious World for more experiments into consciousness, psychic phenomena and the unexplained.Ryan says he trained around people from the Stargate community and sometimes works operational targets such as missing-person cases, which gives you a legitimate SEO bridge into the broader Stargate/remote-viewing audience.Chapters:00:00 Can You See a Hidden Place With Your Mind?01:31 Training With the Stargate Remote Viewers03:56 The Meditation That Opens Ryan's “Third Eye”05:21 How a Blind Remote Viewing Session Works08:20 The Secret Coordinates Are Given17:11 “Lighthouse”… The Images Begin23:26 Ryan Starts Seeing a Tower27:21 The Monitor Moves Him Toward the Target34:29 Something Appears Inside the Structure36:38 A Woman Who “Was There… And Isn't”37:21 “She's Dead”38:09 Ryan Suddenly Sees a Love Triangle39:18 Inside the Hidden Location40:51 He Sees Water Outside43:42 “It's Like a Museum”44:38 England, Tudors and Shakespeare?45:17 The Descending Staircase Appears47:42 “It's a Freaking Tower”49:46 “You Basically Named the Target”55:21 The Mistake That Can Actually Contain Data56:09 The Louvre Remote Viewing Story57:33 William Reveals His Blind Session1:02:18 Lee Reveals His Session1:06:29 The Grand Reveal1:07:14 Ryan Said “Museum”1:08:19 The Staircase Match1:09:39 The Museum Inside the Mountain1:12:03 The River Match1:13:31 The Sacred Mountain's Strange History1:15:34 The Love Triangle Connection1:17:13 Did All Three Get Something Right?1:19:03 “We're Completely Wrong About Reality”1:20:43 Why “It's Just a Number” Matters1:22:41 Even Experts Still Can't Believe It Hosted on Acast.

What if Satan was never actually in the Garden of Eden? And what if early Christianity contained secret teachings that most Christians were never taught?Professor Elaine Pagels, one of the world's leading historians of early Christianity and author of *The Gnostic Gospels* and *The Origin of Satan*, joins Strange & Mysterious World to explore how the idea of Satan evolved, why the serpent in Genesis was later identified with the Devil, and what the Gospel of Thomas, Gospel of Mary and other lost Christian writings reveal about the earliest followers of Jesus.We explore the historical Jesus, the Roman crucifixion, the Dead Sea Scrolls, Lucifer, the origins of the Devil, Mary Magdalene, Gnosticism, the creation of the New Testament canon, Christianity's mystical traditions and the provocative idea that Jesus may have given different teachings publicly and privately.Pagels also explains why her own personal tragedy led her to investigate the origins of Satan and why decades of historical research ultimately deepened, rather than destroyed, her spiritual search.Watch to the end for her remarkable perspective on what may lie at the heart of Jesus' message.Subscribe to Strange & Mysterious World for conversations exploring religion, consciousness, spirituality, ancient mysteries and the unexplained.
