Mysterious Universe

Welcome to Mysterious Universe Season 35 episode 20!This realm boasts a massive amount of tiny happenings. Many Mini Mysteries can be found to surround you in every wee way within every micro moment of every diminutive day. Satisfying the appetite for the petite. We're talking about making a big deal out of the small stuff with a mini flying saucer invasion of tiny ray-gun-toting one-armed aliens appearing to children in Malaysia and more Mini Mysteries. In our Plus+ extension, we dive into one of the strangest blind spots in human nature: the way intelligent people become trapped inside their own certainty...

Welcome back! This week we continue from last week's extension with Colin Wilson's The Occult, and his interesting perspective on what these heightened states are, how they are achieved and maintained, as well as some notable characters associated with the topic. We also question why this area of research is so rife with charlatans and fakes? As always, make of this what you will, but Wilson really makes a great case for all of it. Welcome to your Plus+ Extension, and thank you for joining us on Plus+! This is a weird, wild realm we have here, riddled with strange...

On this episode we are continuing our mind-blowing adventure with Vera Stanley Alder’s “From the Mundane to the Magnificent”. Today, friends, we discover the inner workings of nature itself with a gander at the logistics of Fairyland before a view of human beings in various mental and emotional states as we gain greater insight into the “insane”. For our Plus+ extension we begin Colin Wilson’s The Occult, exploring his argument that the real mystery isn’t ghosts or magic, it’s human consciousness itself. From primitive shamans to the bombastic Crowley types, we go over the idea that people have alwa...

This week we’re continuing down the Sheldrake path with The Physics of Angels by Matthew Fox and Rupert Sheldrake, where a theologian and a scientist try to make sense of angels in a modern context. Pulling from figures like Aquinas and Hildegard, we explore whether these “beings” might actually point to forms of intelligence or organization we still don’t fully understand. Whether you buy it or not, it’s a solid look at how our view of reality might be a lot more limited than we think. Welcome to this banger Plus+ Extension! The long awaited uber saga that is Fr...

Welcome to Mysterious Universe Season 35 Episode 16! What do you know of how the calendar was created? Hundreds of specialized or regional calendars have existed throughout history, major calendar systems are often grouped into solar, lunar, and lunisolar types, with six principal systems commonly recognized today. Tom Sherman has sorted out the wishy-washy Gregorian and offers the realm something better, A New Calendar. Perhaps it’s time we examine the time we keep? In our Plus+ extension, we dive back into some wild NDE stories! From a 1-year-old memory of being drowned in a bathtub, to an ex-military man experiencing his ve...

Was the Moon just a byproduct of planetary chaos, or does the Earth–Moon system show signs of deeper structure? In this episode, we dig into Who Built the Moon? by Christopher Knight and Alan Butler, exploring the strange mix of astronomy, ancient measurement systems, and numerical relationships that led the authors to question whether our nearest celestial neighbor might be more unusual than we’ve been taught.  Welcome to your Plus+ extension as we wrap up this “Salts of Salvation Saga Series” with a look at each of the salts in association with you and your loved one's zodiac sign, and...

Welcome to Mysterious Universe Season 35 episode 14! Did you know that you can trace every sickness, disease, and ailment to a mineral deficiency? There are 12 primary cell salts developed in the 1870s by German physician Dr. Wilhelm Heinrich Schüssler. Today we have chosen to take an entertainment only (not medical advice) look at what these salts are and what can they do for those who choose to heed the wisdom of the ancients. In Part 2 of our electricity deep dive, we get into the strange and controversial world of The Electric Universe by Wal Thornhill — a theory that suggests electricity may...

Welcome back to MU! In this episode, we explore the idea that the timeline of history may not be as settled as we’ve been led to believe. From the mysterious concept of Tartaria to strange patterns in 19th century architecture, rapid technological leaps, world fairs, orphan trains, and the work of Nikola Tesla, we examine a collection of theories from Guy Anderson's Tesla & the Cabbage Patch Kids suggesting that pieces of the past may have been forgotten, reinterpreted, or quietly absorbed into the modern world.  Welcome to your Plus+ Extension where we continue our Michig-investigation of the freaky things fou...

Welcome to Mysterious Universe Season 35 episode number 12! Mysterious creatures and rumors of mysterious creatures have been passed down from times long lost, but where do they come from? What may be considered to be fantastically incredible creatures to us could simply be “the way” for other inhabitants of the realm that have experienced a variety of critters. Perhaps like seeing and disobliging a dragon the way one would have seen a squirrel. In our Plus+ extension, we cover a classic metaphysical book called The Ra Material by Don Elkins. This is a wild ride of abstract philosophical meanderings, paired with shor...

This week we dive into another work by Marcus Lowth, The Electric People. He documents the stories of "SLIders", or Street Light Interference experiencers. From simple accounts of lights flickering when passed by, to more profound electrical abnormalities, he ties them all in to possible UFO/UAP connections, and the broader paranormal field as a whole. Are these just psychosomatic hallucinations, real EMF interference by humans, or perhaps the other way around?  Thank you for joining us for your Plus+ Extension where we discuss some truly bizarre invisible creature sightings, which we are fully aware sounds silly in and of i...

Welcome to Mysterious Universe Season 35 Episode number 10! We are here to talk about some of the most jarring funeral ritual customs from around this freaky world. Featuring but not limited to mummy tupperware, the tribe that dresses up their dead to join them for dinner, hella devoted wives who light themselves ablaze to mourn the loss of their dead hubby-hubs, some super fun curses of course, and the possible burial plot of super-savior to some and homeboy to all, Jesus Christ.  For our Plus+ extension, we go into the fantastic book The Dead Have Never Died by Edward C. Randall, w...

Thanks for joining us this week on MU! Today we offer another installment from Dirk Gillabel entitled Accidentally Viewing of Past Scenes. This continues on our investigations into odd moments when time doesn't behave like it's supposed to; from the legendary Oregon Vortex to being suddenly teleported from a bus into the Victorian era, Dirk has compiled many of these stories in an attempt to find the patterns that seem to permeate them. Are these hallucinations or is this a natural phenomenon that occurs when several contributing factors align? For your Plus+ Extension, this Joe-round we continue and conclude THE...

Welcome to Mysterious Universe Season 35 episode 08, and the conclusion of Caesar’s Messiah: The Roman Conspiracy to Invent Jesus by Joseph Attwell, which we began on the plus extension last Friday, season 35 episode 07. On this episode, we continue the work of Joseph Attwell with our look at the origin of the gospels of the Bible to see if there are any alternative perspectives with the official interpretations, and to discover the motives behind its very existence in the first place. For our Plus+ extension we continue the time slip/Missing 411 thread along a slightly different path, that of Dirk Gillabel al...

Thanks for joining us! This week we dive into another older book by Dr. Carl Wickland, who describes decades worth of firsthand experiences with the dead speaking through his highly sensitive wife. He approaches these cases with clinical skepticism, but by the end of his research it's clear he had resigned himself to the reality of these communications, whatever they may actually be. Welcome to your Plus+ extension! We are here to ask if the Bible and its contents were created as a means to pacify a potentially dangerous, Messiah-seeking populus by offering a contentment-encourager in the form of a...

Welcome to Mysterious Universe, mental ninjas! Come with us as we explore an unexplored land. A forbidden “lost world” to outsiders reported to be inhabited by strange beasts out of time. Legends speak of not one, but several bizarre and terrifying creatures that haunt the Ancient Plateau’s of the South American Wilderness. Today we are grateful to cover The Mysteries Of Kurupira - The hidden land of unknown creatures that inspired Conan Doyle’s Lost World - By Ben Tejada-Ingram. For Plus+, we wade through an insane theory on the world we live on… or IN. Cyrus Teed’s “The Cellular C...

This week, we take a look at Anthony Meyer's amazing work on time slips! From two biddies walking through a path with several different time periods involved, a disappearing hotel, & a particular street in Liverpool that seems to be a portal to the 1950's, these stories beg the question: Are these examples of time travel, collective hallucinations, or some kind of weaponized experiments? Join us & decide for yourself! Welcome to your Plus+ extension! For this one, we will be continuing to ask deep questions about one of the most third-rail topics that exists to get a NU-clear picture of the...

On this week’s episode, we put on our theological hats and explore the rapidly increasing interest in the idea that not only has Jesus already returned, but that we are currently in the “little season” of Satan!
