31.16 - MU Podcast - The Great Crop Circle Hoax

The topic of past life memories and reincarnation is often considered a taboo subject. However, inquiring minds like Ian Stevenson and Jim Tucker are well-known in their field due to the incredible case reports they have collated over their decorated careers. That said, it's not well-known that it was actually a 200-year-old report from Japan that spurred Stevenson to explore this fascinating phenomenon. On this episode, we hear this report and other incredible cases of reincarnation from Japan. Some children's memories are so vivid that rich details provide considerable evidence for life continuing beyond our understanding. Then, in our Plus+ extension, we discuss the 'beetle levitation platform' and hear how an unwitting bug scientist's encounters with an angry beehive led him to discover antigravity technology and create a flying platform that could potentially be associated with UFO tech.

Crop circles is a subject of heated debate among both paranormal enthusiasts and scientists. However, there might be deeper, more profound explanations lurking within our collective human experiences that could shed light on this mystery. Some individuals who admit to creating these hoaxes report experiencing strange occurrences, suggesting that a mysterious force influences them to make these designs. We dive into these accounts to explore the possibility that a paranormal intelligence could be linked to various phenomena associated with crop circles, including mysterious creatures, orbs of light, time distortions, and more. For our Plus+ members, we explore the writings of a Japanese equivalent to John Keel, featuring encounters with serpentine women, airborne mountain men, and the bizarre technologies of a lost civilization.

Strange things are said to lurk in the seaside mist of England's Cornwall—strange creatures, occult groups, and otherworldly entities are said to have covered the land for centuries. We discuss an obscured report of an odd video tape, mentioned in an old forum post, purported to show an occult group performing a strange ritual. Those who view the tape are reportedly supernaturally affected by it. Is this just a legend influenced by the horror film "The Ring," or is there some truth to the story? A truth so terrifying that the group behind it will try to stop anyone who tries to reveal their hidden place in the forest? For our Plus+ members, we explore haunted castles said to keep demons at bay, supernatural creatures lurking in the battlefields of wars, and a new perspective on encounters with the mysterious rolling rock apes.

Psychic phenomena permeates many aspects of our lives; however, for some reason, it is especially apparent in crime. Whether it's heightened emotions or human energy fueling tense events coupled with violence and revenge, the strange and unexplained is never far from these occurrences. We discuss some of these unusual happenings in the context of crimes being solved from beyond the grave, dowsing for missing persons, using psychometry to find money, and much more. Then, for our Plus+ Members, we explore the extraordinary and contentious theory that the stones comprising the Pyramids and other ancient sites are actually an artificial polymer, nearly indistinguishable from natural rock, crafted through the utilization of a lost technology only recently discovered by modern science.

Throughout the world, across numerous cultures, elongated skulls have been revered. Whether it's a small isolated island in the middle of the Pacific or an ancient culture, the practice of elongating skulls is as mystifying as it is unexplained. The practice has led some to speculate that it was done to enhance consciousness and psychic abilities. For the very same reason, trepanning has been conducted from Neolithic times to the modern day. We explore this strange practice and hear reports of people who have attempted to alter their consciousness by drilling holes in their heads. Sometimes with incredible improvements, though usually the person ends up in a love affair with a pigeon. Listen to find out more. Then, for our Plus+ Members, we take a look at a new angle on Bigfoot encounters and consider how they are more similar to poltergeist encounters than you might think. Is it possible that Bigfoot is being mimicked by some other unknown force?

It seems that every few years, a new announcement is made in the UFO genre, and disclosure is suddenly within reach. However, those who have been in the field for a long time realize that this is just another peak in the phenomenon cycle. We explore the history of UFO flaps and consider how similar elements recur throughout the ages. We also discuss the concept of "negative factors" and how the phenomenon itself seemingly leaves behind false evidence to undermine witnesses and researchers alike, so it can continue its strange occupation uninhibited. Speaking of unusual occupations, in our Plus+ extension, we hear the story of a woman with a seemingly normal day job and an extremely weird private life. This includes encounters with the "golds," quantum gateways, Bigfoot, interdimensional car mechanics, and high levels of mind-bending strangeness. Learn more about your ad choices.

An unassuming and hardworking woman arrived in Brasília in 1957 to contribute to the construction of the new capital city. Yet, within two decades, she had established a spiritual metropolis that serves as the headquarters of a global spiritual movement. We explore the life of this mysterious woman and learn about the practices of the "Valley of the Dawn" faith. Often dismissed as a cult, they could be considered the Brazilian equivalent of Unarius, adorned in peculiar bright clothing and holding alien beliefs. However, there appears to be something otherworldly truly unfolding within this group and its members. In our Plus+ extension, we discuss the experiences of Australian psychonauts and the extraordinary encounters they've had with ethereal beings. Are these entities benevolent or malevolent? We'll leave it to you to listen and decide.

Why do we possess the traits we do? Why do we look and act the way we do? Is genetics the answer? The entire concept of genes explaining who and why we are didn't hold as well as it once had. There has to be something else, and that something else might be akin to the theories of morphic fields proposed by the groundbreaking scientist Rupert Sheldrake. We discuss concepts such as presentiment, extraordinary knowledge, telepathy, and much more as we delve into the strangest aspects of morphic fields and consider how they may address some of the questions about what it means to be a human being. Then, in our Plus+ extension, we cover a terrifying surveillance state already in effect worldwide. It's legal and available to anyone who wants to pay for it.

This show opens by discussing a seemingly beautiful coffee table book that turns out to be anything but. The seemingly innocuous cover offers no insight into the dark sexual side of Tibetan Buddhism that we encounter. We venture into a world not often discussed and almost never seen, full of magic, secret powers, and levitations during sexual practices. We also hear strange stories of sea monster karma and enlightenment tricks. Then, for our Plus+ members, we explore reports of "sun pillars" and consider how they might be connected to Missing 411 style reports and underground alien bases.

It is only natural to want to put a strange experience into a category. See a human form materialize in your home? Well, it must be a ghost, right? What about running into a strange glowing cloud and experiencing missing time? It has to be a UFO encounter. Perhaps, however, what if it's something natural, something often experienced but not remotely understood? Could these and other seemingly paranormal experiences be the result of time anomalies? We consider this concept and discuss these stories in this light while considering cases of dreams, apparitions, and haunted landscapes.
