Phantom Cosmonauts

Secret government programs such as MK-Ultra and Area 51 have become part of popular conversation. But our host opens the lines, ready to discuss some programs that are far less documented.   One caller claims to have been part of a division that allegedly used authentic torture and snuff film audio for psychological warfare. He also claims to own a recording that has remained hidden for decades- and may be one of the most chilling pieces of audio in existence.    —-   MIDNIGHT RADIO is a production of Crooked Highway and Under the Influence   Created and written by Scott Derrickson & C.

What if psychedelics don’t just alter the mind—but open a door to something beyond? Our host opens the lines to hear from true “Psychonauts” who believe they have experienced something from the other side.   Callers share their stories ranging from psilocybin to high doses of Benadryl. Some encounter haunting visions of the Hat Man. Others encounter something far more terrifying than their hallucinations.   —-   MIDNIGHT RADIO is a production of Crooked Highway and Under the Influence   Created and written by Scott Derrickson & C.

Heard a dead loved one on an open channel? Maybe contact from the stars? What have you heard in the static between stations on the dial? The lines are open to anyone with a tale about strange transmissions. Through a long night of calls, our host listens to stories of mysterious NASA transmissions surrounding the myth of the Phantom Cosmonauts. Until another call gets through—from a man who claims to know the transmission is fake. Because he was there. —- MIDNIGHT RADIO is a production of Crooked Highway and Under the Influence   Created and written by Scott Derrickson & C.
