Strange Floating Monolith Reported by Teacher Outside Home- Our Weird Kentucky Home #2 Jun 23, 2025

"As Johns watched in astonishment, the object began moving toward the front porch. He could clearly see two sides of it as it approached. As the top passed under the eaves, the bottom bent backwards over the bushes which border the 71-cm high porch, in the manner of a man's leg bending at the knee, forming an obtuse angle. At this point, he lost sight of it, grabbed his .38 handgun, and quickly went to the windows."

After Midnight- When Entities Attack (AKA I Wanna Talk to Richard Doty) Jun 18, 2025

On the return of After Midnight to the MIK feed, Jim’s kicks us off in song, and we discuss what happens when ethereal entity encounters turn hostile, and the coverups thereof; featuring one of our favorite recurring complicated characters in UFO mythology- Richard Doty! On this episode we'll be discussing everything from and including, but not limited to: Personal paranormal experiences. Classifications of different entities. Ben's deep desire to speak with Richard Doty. The Silverbow Incident. The compartmentalization of government secrecy. Werewolves and dogman. The coverups and ‘official explanations’ for mysterious deaths. Belief and Bias. The Extraterrestrial Hypothesis, Ultraterrestrials, and the 'frequencies' of reality. Yellin 'GIT!' at a dogman. The interconnection of the phenomenal. Jamie's Hatman and poltergeist encounters. The 'sentience' of the phenomenal. How consciousness and neurodivergence interact with the paranormal. Chris Bledsoe. Possession. Angels, demons, and aliens. What MIK has become and is becoming. The follower effect. Dogmen following government UFO investigators. The invasion of Chestnut Ridge. Crime and the supernatural through the lens of David Lynch. The ‘morality’ of ethereal entities. The ongoing conversations we are all holding with whatever lies beyond us. And much, much more!
After Midnight is a candid listen to the moments before and after MIK hits the airwaves.

Transmissions from the Abyss- Jims Comes Face to Face with the Hatman Jun 12, 2025

Around the edges of the reality easily perceived by men seems to lurk another- A world home to entities and intelligences for which we have many names but little understanding. Reports passed down throughout history catalog a menagerie of angels, alien beings, shadowmen, sentient lights, demons, and disembodied voices who walk and stalk the plains of this alternate plane, sometimes stumbling over the borders which separate us from them and making their way into our own. One alleged diabolic denizen of the nether is said to invoke such a sense of dread and terror into those who have witnessed him that even uttering the simple moniker by which he is most known can reignite the feelings of horror long after the initial encounter has passed- The Hatman. Tonight on the return of MIKs firsthand testimonial series, Transmissions from the Abyss, we’ll hear from our very own Jamie Lee on her recurring encounters with the ominous entity himself and just how his appearance has left a lasting impact on her life and her perceptions of the unknown. In the intro to this episode we’ll also briefly touch on our own personal recent encounters of mysterious unmarked black helicopters and just how these events and others seem to indicate an ongoing communication with something larger than ourselves.

"In late summer of 2022, a very brief video out of Powell County, Kentucky, was posted online, seemingly showing a hooded figure walking through the Bluegrass woods in broad daylight."

Juss Dronin' with Ben and Jims Mar 21, 2025

In November of 2024, residents of New Jersey began reporting a high velocity of unknown objects brazenly moving in-plain-sight and low-to-the-ground through the sky overhead. From changing shape and possessing incredible speed, to being oft-times accompanied by orbs, UFOs, and black helicopters, suspicions began to mount quickly that the so called ‘drones’ were not as they seemed. In the following months, inexplicable aircraft began being seen around the United States and the world. Though the enigma has now been firmly cemented in the heart of the public, this is far from the first time that mystery drones have been spotted en masse. Tonight on MIK, Ben and Jamie provide a brief recap of the most recent global incursions before bringing it home to Kentucky, to discuss the local 2019-2021 flap, and their own personal encounters with high strangeness phenomena wrapped in drone’s clothing. From strange coincidences and possible coverups to psyonic craft manipulating witness perception- and just what are the Future Farmers’ of America up to? Hear it all tonight on ‘Juss Dronin’ the return of Midnight in Kentucky!
