Rise of the Vampire

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. When a team of scientists from this century decide to look into the letter she left, military grade encryption technology reveals quite a secret.  Join us at Patreon.com/TQMpod 

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. It's a strange episode indeed, and neither of us are going to look at the sea in the same way again.  Come on in, the water's scary - at Patreon.com/TQMpod

A small village in Eastern Europe in 1725, saw the start of an outbreak of Vampires, after reports of the undead attacking locals. Word reached the Emperor, and the military, church, and medical professionals were sent to investigate. What they found in the graves shocked them. Many bodies were described as being in a state of vampirism. This story is not from folklore, but found in official government documents and autopsies from the time.    If you want to help fund our research, consider becoming a Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/c/TQMpod   

We spent the night at a haunted bakery. We talk to people who live and work there. They tell us their stories of; a screaming child at 3am, a poltergeist who pinches staff, shadow people sightings, a spooky hand that closes doors, a head in a washing machine, and a baker who had a terrifying encounter with a Jinn.   If you want to help us fund new field trips, please consider supporting us at https://www.patreon.com/c/TQMpod 

We begin by returning to The Cassiopeian Project where an entity has been unravelling the true origin of the UFOs seen over large parts of the US and UK recently. With alien agendas in mind, we then look at historic encounters with bipedal entities, including a pony who was bothered by wrestling pixies.  Join in at Patreon.com/TQMpod for early access to our episodes, ad free shows, extra content and a great community. 

So much of how we think of Vampires is entwined with Bram Stoker's book Dracula, but what folklore inspired Stoker. We explore the pre Dracula era that led to the rise of the Vampire; from ancient blood sucking entities, to Eastern European graveyards, to Western paranoia. Leaning heavily on Nick Broom's book 'Vampire A New History'.    Help support our podcast by becoming a Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/tqmpod 

The huge distances involved in communicating with possible alien civilisations means that it would take centuries to have a conversation governed by the speed of light. But a new idea known as Quantum Tunnelling means that we may be able to talk to our next door neighbours, in space, in real time. The method for this communication could also mean that aliens have been using novel methods to communicate with humans telepathically - something we know is a trait of many close encounters.  This video is referenced as some of the source material we discuss  - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynRXJsgUwaI Please join us for early ad-free access, extra content and a great community at www.patreon.com/TQMpod

We can't ignore the strange happenings over our skies, with drones appearing on a nightly basis in the UK, USA - and beyond. Are they aliens, enemy aircraft, hobbyists or our own military? To us, the current conversation mirrors some older cases, and the similarities with airship, UFO and ghost rocket 'invasions' are too much to ignore.    Stay close to us in 2025 by joining us at Patreon.com/TQMpod - get ad-free content a week ahead of everyone else, more eps and a great community.
