The Curse of Black Hope
#7
04/04/2026

Nothing about it stands out at first.

Same streets. Same houses. Same quiet nights.

But every place has a history.

And some histories don’t stay in the past.

Sometimes
 they settle in.

They wait.

And every now and then


they remind you..

they’re still here.

AI: Endgame
#6
03/21/2026

Every invention in human history has done one thing: it made us more powerful. Fire. Electricity. The internet.

But artificial intelligence may be the first invention that doesn’t just extend human power



it replaces it.

So the real question isn’t what can AI do?

It’s what happens when it no longer needs us?

House of Masks
#5
03/07/2026

In 1999, Stanley Kubrick released a film about secret rituals, masked elites, and the hidden architecture of power operating just beyond public view. Days later, he was dead. No interviews. No explanations. Just silence.

Some believe Eyes Wide Shut was simply his final masterpiece. Others believe it was something far more dangerous, a glimpse behind a curtain few are meant to see.

Tonight, we step into the shadows Kubrick left behind
 and ask whether his last film was fiction or a warning.

The Boundary of Existence
#4
02/21/2026

What if everything you see, every star, every memory, is encoded somewhere else?

In the 1970s, black holes revealed a terrifying possibility: the universe may store information not in its depths, but on its edge.

Are we living inside a cosmic projection? Or is reality itself an emergent illusion, stitched together from quantum relationships we cannot see?

Tonight, we explore the holographic universe
 and the boundary of existence.

The Secret Psychic War
#3
02/14/2026

What if your mind is capable of far more than you ever realized ?This episode explores remote viewing not as a fringe skill, but as a buried human ability, one quietly tested, trained, and exploited by governments and private interests. If ordinary people can be taught to see beyond distance and time, the real question isn’t whether it works
 it’s why we’re not supposed to talk about it.

Horror beneath the Pyramids
#2
01/24/2026

In 1924, the world’s greatest escape artist claimed he survived something no one could debunk—because it happened under the pyramids of Egypt. The story was so unsettling, it took H.P. Lovecraft to put it on paper. Today, we’re descending into Under the Pyramids—where history, horror, and Houdini collide.

In Search of Area 52
#1
01/10/2026

Welcome everyone back for our Season 3 opener!

Ever wonder if there is more to the story we have all been told our entire lives? Are there really secret black budget programs reverse engineering recovered alien space craft? What kinds of space aged exotic technologies do our militaries really have access to? And just how far are they willing to go to protect these secrets?

We will explore all these questions and more. Join us and find out what's hiding in the dark labs and test ranges of the ultra top secret Area 52!

Beyond Beginnings
#37
12/13/2025

Every journey leaves echoes. Moments we didn’t know would matter
 voices that stayed with us longer than the story itself. Tonight isn’t just an ending — it’s a look back, a deep breath, and the first step into whatever comes next.

Thank you so much for joining us here in the anomaly all year long!

On this episode we will reflect and celebrate the first year of The Common Anomaly Podcast. We hope you all enjoy and we will see you for season 3 in January!


The Book of Final Events
#36
12/07/2025

For decades, a name has whispered through classified corridors—a shadow unit inside the U.S. government convinced that the UFO phenomenon isn’t extraterrestrial
 but something far older, and far darker. Tonight, we follow those whispers into the sealed files of the Collins Elite
 and ask what terrified them enough to fight an enemy they believed came straight from hell.

3I/ATLAS: The Impossible Comet
#35
11/29/2025

A strange pulse of light, a shifting coma, and a trajectory that defies easy explanation—Comet 3I/ATLAS is rewriting what we think we know about visitors from deep space. In this episode, we dive into the anomalies scientists can’t agree on, from its fractured core to the whisper of artificial origins. Follow us as we trace the clues hidden in its glow and ask whether this comet is simply passing by
 or passing a message.

The Five Stigmata of Padre Pio
#34
11/22/2025

Across war-torn skies and quiet hospital rooms, countless souls told the same story: a humble friar who appeared at the exact moment they needed him—though he never left his monastery quarters. Tonight, we explore the life of Padre Pio, a man whose prayers seemed to travel farther than his footsteps
 and whose presence touched the souls of all he encountered.

To the Center of the Earth
#33
11/15/2025

Ancient texts spoke of Agharta and Shambhala — kingdoms beneath the mountains, where giants walked and gods hid their secrets. In 1908, a man named Olaf Jansen claimed he’d seen it with his own eyes. This is the legend
 of the Hollow Earth.

The Valley of the Headless Men
#32
11/09/2025

Deep in Canada’s Northwest Territories lies the Nahanni Valley — a place the Dene call the Land of the Spirits. For centuries, it’s been home to legends of vanished tribes, headless prospectors, and strange lights that move against the wind. From Indigenous myth to Cold War mystery, this is the story of a valley that takes what it wants
 and never gives it back.

The Philip Experiment
#30
10/25/2025

No death. No tragedy. Just an idea — a ghost that never lived. Yet when they called to it, something called back. The Philip Experiment began as a test of the mind
 but ended as a whisper in the dark — proof that sometimes, belief is the most dangerous kind of haunting.

From beyond the sun: the approach of 3I/ATLAS
#28
10/11/2025

A comet drifts through our solar system. Some whisper it’s a vessel. From the hidden mechanics of interstellar ice to asteroids hollowed into worldships, tonight we chase the theories that suggest not all visitors from the stars are natural
 and some may be carrying secrets older than humanity itself.

The Blue Beam Deception
#27
10/04/2025

Imagine looking to the night sky and seeing gods, prophets, or alien fleets descending
 only to realize it’s all an illusion. Project Blue Beam isn’t just a conspiracy theory — it’s the story of a manufactured apocalypse, a stage-managed end of the world. In this episode, we confront the chilling idea that faith, fear, and even reality itself could be weaponized against all of us.

The Yuba County 5
#26
09/27/2025

Five young men drove into the Sierra Nevada one February night in 1978—and never came home. Their car was found abandoned, in working order, on a snow-choked road miles from where they were supposed to be. Months later, their bodies surfaced under bizarre and haunting circumstances, with one man still missing to this day. Was it a tragic accident, a sinister plot, or something stranger? Tonight, we unravel the enduring mystery of the Yuba County Five.

Shadow of the Templars
#25
09/20/2025

The Knights Templar are shrouded in both legend and secrecy—warrior monks, bankers of kings, and guardians of mysteries that echo through history. In Part II of our Freemasonry series, we trace the rise and fall of the Templars: from their humble beginnings protecting pilgrims in the Holy Land, to becoming one of the most powerful and wealthy orders in medieval Europe. We’ll unravel their sudden downfall, the charges of heresy, and explore how their legacy may have influenced the birth of Freemasonry centuries later. Were the Templars merely victims of politics and greed—or keepers of a hidden...

09/06/2025

From ancient flood myths to Fallout’s irradiated wastelands, humanity has always dreamed of the end. But what if our obsession with the apocalypse isn’t just storytelling? What if these visions—religious, psychological, even digital—are shaping the future itself? Join us as we unravel why we all secretly long for destruction, and whether the end of the world is truly inevitable
 or a self-fulfilling prophecy. Special guest Mike Aiello joins the conversation in his first appearance in the Anomaly.

You Died! A History of Cursed Video Games
#22
08/30/2025

Every culture has its legends
 but in gaming, the myths come coded in pixels. Hidden arcades, cartridges that corrupt the mind, titles that no one can prove ever existed, yet players swear they’ve played. Tonight, we follow the trail of whispers and urban legends into the strange world of cursed video games.
