Lucinda Morel: Synchs, Aliens and Spirited Journeys

Hey there, friends! This week my guests are Derek Hayes (Monster Among Us Podcast) and David Flora (Blurry Photos Podcast)! These two upstanding gents  made a fantastic documentary, Shadows in the Desert: High Strangeness in the Borrego Triangle (2024). I really enjoyed this doc, so much so, that I needed to get these two fellow travels on the show right away!We discuss the documentary, without spoilers, and the many manifestations that this desert triangle has going for it: Bigfoot, UFOs, ghosts galore, and so much more! We also talk about some of their personal experience in the realm of the strange and unusual. I really admire what these two dudes did, and how they did it. I highly recommend checking out this film on TUBI, and likely some other streaming services. It's a good one! Love, Steve https://www.borregotriangle.com/where-to-streamDerek Hayes:Derek Hayes is the creator and host of award-winning podcast, Monsters Among Us, a collection of real paranormal stories told by the witnesses themselves.

Hi buds! This week, my guest is Eli Watson, of Small Town Monsters fame. Eli is a wonderful researcher, and a brave boots on the ground investigator into all things bigfoot. Eli has made a bunch of content for the Small Town Monsters outfit, and there was one that had caught my attention recently called Mountain of God UFO Cult. It's a fascinating story, and one that I had never heard of before, so double bonus! We get into how he discovered this cult from the 1950's, and we also delve deep into his personal experiences investigating the elusive bigfoot. I had a ball with this one, and I hope you do too!Love, Steve For more Eli Watson:https://www.instagram.com/theeliwatson/?hl=enhttps://bio.site/eliwatson?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAad8hgynuKUWWQEAwg9-p89Y1-BPqaBMWx_fyk755IASJbGWNcpX1ojp6pIlaQ_aem_SScK0shnv88111BYlyrSfQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wa4aTJ5Y0BA&t=23shttps://www.youtube.com/@theeliwatsonSteve Berg LInks:https://www.patreon.com/HiStrangenesslinktr.ee/stevebergPretty please subscribe and leave a review!

Hello my dudes and dudettes! This week on the show we have on Charles Lear. Charles is an actor, and a bonafide UFO history buff. Charles has written a new book entitled The Flying Saucer Investigators, which is a sequel to his first volume. I thoroughly enjoyed this sweet offering, which is chalk full of great cases, stories and tons of amazing incites to the wild folks who have dedicated their lives to this exciting topic. Charles was kind of enough to let me cherry pick some of the incredible stories from his book, and let us dive deep into the UFOlogical waters. I hope you all enjoy it!Love, Steve For more Charles Lear:https://www.amazon.com/Flying-Saucer-Investigators-Charles-Lear/dp/B0DYZJMQ6Y/ref=sr_1_5?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.TIt0vKsJu7XQ7syLOQyvxcQDj0oWPmJoJ8-1gOZWTZXmVPUH3mKYQX6vEtue-Nhs632cVmbPBrEXYd9UrG_Z25oQoR7YkIsqMty-jaq5-5MGlquYvQW4Z1Z26q3rzINHE--rzjK_UsgZS1WCm_PolDehkBiLDejXL0S95KUzyTWiY1zrGf4XKYJT_rnrk4Vc4WnSSN9t125DAygTLYqLQ2_wlyIvI6wdE0ABqLoltyI.O6uO0lxIoY-HhYjJmpwzHvIGcVWBThO10wjHwil7NM0&dib_tag=se&qid=1753229546&refinements=p_27%3ACharles+Lear&s=books&sr=1-5&text=Charles+Learhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/podcast-ufo/id483046074Steve Berg LInks:https://www.patreon.com/HiStrangenesslinktr.ee/stevebergPretty please subscribe and leave a review!

Hey there, friends! This week my guest is my good pal, and very first guest, Greg Bishop! Greg has been one of my favorite thinkers in the world of the weird for about 15 years now. Not only that, he's also a great buddy of mine. Greg and I share many of the same interests: UFOs, cooking, weird Los Angeles...all of which we get deeply into on this episode. If you haven't already, PLEASE check out Greg's incredible podcast Radio Misterioso. It's literally my favorite podcast covering these Fortean topics. Also...Greg's books are must haves on any Fortean's bookshelf. High recommend! I hope you enjoy it!

Hey friends! This week my guest is the brilliant Kevin Cann! I first learned about Kevin from Jeffrey Kripal's book, How To Think Impossibly. I then bumped into Kevin's incredible Facebook group, Platonic Surrealism, which immediately wow'd me. Kevin is a next level thinker when it comes to the topics we discuss right here on this show, and I think he's one of the few people I know of who's really trying (and succeeding) in taking UFOs and the nature of reality further down the proverbial field. This was such a fun discussion for me. Kevin is brilliant, but he's also and incredibly kind, and sweet man. What a pleasure it was to get to chat with him. Enjoy!Love, Steve For more Kevin Cann:https://platonicsurrealism.com/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAafeVtI68ycz8cxHkXprd4NLbVdzksWHFmpTPrZ78OR6aiWDYmT1OLtwo-1Heg_aem_a_gCrq8PnzDu3rsPEt6oRwhttps://www.instagram.com/platonic_surrealism/https://www.facebook.com/groups/1173298521190759https://www.facebook.com/kevin.cann.779Steve Berg LInks:https://www.patreon.com/HiStrangenesslinktr.ee/stevebergPretty please subscribe and leave a review!

Holy moly, how is everyone? Great to hear! This week, my guest is my good buddy and brilliant author, Joshua Cutchin! I'm a massive fan of every book he's written, and he has really outdone himself with his newest offering, Fourth Wall Phantoms. Josh and I have a deep discussion about his latest book, without spoiling anything (I promise!). We get into the concept of fictional incursions, the non-physicality of the UFO phenomenon, and why we might just need better stories. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this book so much. I truly can't recommend it enough, my friends. If you were to read one Fortean book this year, this is the one. That's a Bergantee!
