#342 Ectoplasm - Is Ghost Slime Real? Nov 21, 2023

Show notes

In this, the Year of Luigi 2023 people believe that ghosts are completely immaterial; that they come and go without a trace. But that has not always been the case - for hundreds of years people have believed that ghosts and spirits can create a substance called ectoplasm. First made famous in pop culture by Ghostbusters in 1984; it appeared on movie screens around the world as green slime, but in reality it can be so much much more. On this week’s episode Kit and Rory explore it’s history, the disturbing victorian-era images of ectoplasm and, by the end, smear ectoplasm all over their faces. Obviously.

#341 The Paris Catacombs - What's Hidden in the "Forbidden Zone"? Nov 14, 2023

Show notes

Paris - the city of love. That is, if you love BONES. Because hidden under the surface of the city is a network of catacombs filled with over 6 million human remains. Over the years it’s become a tourist attraction, drawing thousands of visitors a year, but beyond the path of the guided tour is the “forbidden zone”… and the secrets that are kept from the public...

#340 Brazil’s Roswell - The Varginha UFO Incident Nov 07, 2023

Show notes

When music fans from Brazil log onto the internet to type ‘come to Brazil’ into comment sections all across the world-wide-web, the intended audience is the world’s most famous musical artists, and yet it seems someone else got the message - namely, alien greys piloting UFOs. In 1996 a UFO incident occurred in Varginha that would shock locals, reach news around the world, and become immortalised in a bloody big statue of a UFO erected in town. This alien encounter has it all - death at the hands of aliens, school-bus-shaped UFOs, crash landings, and radioactive physical evidence. But crucially the question remains for Rory and Kit - is any of it real?

#336 The Sleeping Mystic - Edgar Cayce Oct 11, 2023

Show notes

A long time ago, in a place far away, a boy was born with special and unusual abilities. No, this was not a boy called Anakin on the planet Tatooine; he was Edgar Cayce from Kentucky, USA. But his abilities were as astonishing as if he was blessed with the Force - he could heal the sick and predict the future. People would travel from far and wide to experience his talents and he became one of the most famous clairvoyants in history. But as time as past, questions are now being asked about the mystics of old - was he a miracle healer or a conman? Time for investigators Kit and Rory to find out.
