Lost in the Labyrinth

Millions of us set sail on luxury cruise ships every year, not all have the peaceful break they were looking for. This week we feature the world's most haunted cruise ship, and one that has been labelled cursed. We also investigate whether a cruise ship is the perfect place to commit a murder.To help keep us afloat please consider supporting us at https://www.patreon.com/TQMpod

We begin by examining the strange case of Marco Eli Chereze, a military officer who died from a medical condition after coming into contact with an ET. We go on to look at other cases where alien infections may have transferred to humans, and recall the cowled figures seen at the time of the plague.

Many philosophers and scientists have come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as free will. Some experiments seem to back up that view. Does this mean that everything we do, or think, has been pre-programmed since the birth of the Universe?

Labyrinths are strange places, puzzles that conceal a secret at their heart - perhaps, even, a gateway to another realm.

The first recorded account of Sun-strangeness we look at takes place in 400 BCE, but the most intriguing reports of anomalous objects near our star are very much more modern.  From barges to giant cubes, is something else getting a tan up there?

The year is 1676 and Sister Maria Crocifissa is strangely absent from her nunnery. When she returns, she has one hell of a story to tell.

Records of encounter with the Yeti, also known as the Abominable Snowman, date back as long as 340 BC. Expeditions in the 1950s and 1960s brought us photo evidence and tales of encounters. We assess an avalanche of data, and hear what Yeti obsessed Brian Blessed, and Sir David Attenborough have to say on the existence of the beast.    If you like what we do please consider supporting us at https://www.patreon.com/TQMpod 

Some of the strangest noises on the planet come from under the sea. Sometimes we know what they are, and sometimes we don't. And then we have some talking Orcas.
