Belief Hole

What power might we have to conjure our own creations from the void? Is it possible to, even inadvertently, focus so much energy and attention on an idea or an image, that we draw it forth from the darkness of a nameless space and into a coffee shop or a gas station on our daily route? On this episode, we recount reality-bending experiences from sci-fi and comic authors and artists such as Philip K Dick, Alan Moore, and Barry Windsor-Smith, who incorporated their incredible brushes with the paranormal into their work. And with the help of Jeffrey J. Kripal’s ‘Mutants and Mystics', we begin to examine the fraying threads at the edges of our reality and ask the question, “who is writing who?”. Could the tales of creators bumping into their own creations be just a small footnote within the pages of a compendium of collected high-strangeness stories that all point to staggering truth about life itself? So, Fill up the inkwell and brush off the moleskin, cause we’re gonna conjure us some cosmic adventure! Also

Since 2,000 years before the age of man, just beyond the veil of our visible world, the Jinn have existed, causing nightmares and influencing the affairs of man with a dark Jinny agenda.. or so the story goes. Are strange encounters of the Jinn (Djinn) on the rise? Are there real modern accounts with these shadowy 'bad actors' experienced today? Join us as we rub the preverbal lamp, and open pandora's box to explore the reality of Jinn (modern and ancient), explore Jinn myth and lore, and scrape against the boundaries of our own academic religious limitations. We also touch on the horrors of war and some of the things that might be experienced from the heavy energy in war-torn places such as stone tape theory, time loops, ghosts, spirits, fear-eaters and nightmare feeders. Also.. mind portals, spectrophilia and the importance of being careful where you pee! --- Learn to draw cool stuff with our friend FANCY CRAFTS ;) ---

Tucked within the shadows of our everyday world are strange tales of supernatural visitations and confounding paranormal events. And as we travel deeper into the mouth of the Belief Hole, the high-strangeness begins to seep from her very walls. On today's episode, we’ll hear accounts of red, spell-casting disembodied hands, Ouija Board women scaling walls, triangle crafts buzzing neighborhoods, and a Glimmer Man in the forest... Even Death himself stops by for a terrifying wellness check. Also... Winged Humanoids of Missouri, Jon runs from a Tornado and we pay tribute to Jeremy the Ruiner.

A startling ring in the middle of the night. The strange and distant voice on the line seems familiar, someone you've known, yet someone whose left this world behind.  It's a call that shouldn't be possible- a transdimensional connection that defies our current understanding.. until now. Join us in the Hole as we peel back the pages of forgotten, ground breaking research to uncover the true stories of Phone Calls from the Dead and the innovators of both past and present whose mission of patching us through to the other side is becoming a potential reality. Beginning with such pioneers of Spirit Technology as Captain Craufurd (the Wireless Man) and Logie Baird (the Black Magic Man) we break down not only their revolutionary contribution to terrestrial telecommunication, but their fascination and innovation in the realm of Instrumental Transcommunication. Then, through the work of the renowned Parapsychologist D. Scott Rogo and his intrepid contemporaries, we investigate the longest of long-distance calls and

So flip on your high beams, because there's a dimly lit detour ahead.. through the Belief Hole!

Are silent and spinning, black pyramids watching us from the skies above? The recent Pentagon Confimation of leaked footage showing Pyramidal UFOs and Images of other bizarre UAPs captured by the NAVY suggest there is a copious variety of secret somethings traversing our atmosphere. What are they and where do they come from? How did the paranormal experience of a DIA scientist at Skinwalker Ranch spark the beginnings of a now disclosed Pentagon UFO (UAP) Program? And if disclosure does come, can we trust those who claim to be revealing ‘the truth’ after years of ridicule and disinformation? Join us in the Hole as we start at the beginning and try to break down programs like ATTIP, NIDS, BAASS and AAWSAP, recount corroborating eye-witness accounts of eerie pyramids surveying neighborhoods and discuss the covert media infiltration that is hilarious at best and sinister at worst.

Among the foreboding forests and ancient swamps of New England stirs a sleepless force – a fuel for unusual phenomena. Described as a ‘Paranormal Disney World’, the Bridgewater Triangle is a veritable smorgasbord of paranormal activity and high strangeness, and at its dark beating heart - the mysterious Hockomock Swamp. This phenomena includes, but is not limited to: UFOs, Bigfoot, Red-Headed Hitchhikers, Ghost Lights, Demon Dogs, Occult Rituals, Swamp Spirits, and of course.. Pukwudgies (the mysterious and menacing little people of the Wampanoag people). Join us as we peer into the wilderness to witness the bizarre happenings here.

Our story begins with a man and his vacuum tube radio in Grosseto, Italy, in 1949. There Marcello Bacci sat, one hand caressing his radio, and the other carefully turning the dial, tuning in his strange transmissions. Not music, news broadcasts or normal radio programs, but rather.. voices from beyond. Voices of spirit. Voices of the dead. For decades Bacci would hold sessions in tightly packed rooms filled with grieving mothers and family members of those who've crossed over. And while he could be classified as a medium, what makes him unique is that he didn't channel the spirits or entities himself, but rather, they spoke through his radio, in their own warbly voices, recognizable to those that knew them in life.  Following in the footsteps of Fathers Ernetti and Gemelli, as well as Friedrich Juergenson - the father of EVP, Bacci, along with his contemporaries in the Scole group, reached through the ether using a process known as ITC (Instrumental Transcommunication) to collect audio and video evidence of

Shadow People in the Walls, Child Eating Ceiling Creepers, Vanishing Felines and Astral Spiders are just some of the fuel for this strange bonfire of the bizarre!

'Disembodied Voices: true accounts of hidden begins' is a fascinating work by Tim Marczenko, wherein he recovers forgotten lore from private collections and research centers and speaks with witnesses who've encountered anomalous, disembodied voices- some that help, some that haunt, and some that seem to be hunting.. us!

Sylvan Dread, Interdimensional Ping Pong, and Dudes at the Gym

Whatever you call it, it is the enduring folk magic that haunts the hollers and lingers within the misty slopes of the Appalachian mountains. Join us as we explore the wonder and rich tradition of practiced Appalachian folk Magic, as well as the fascinating (yet often overlooked) folklore and history of the region. Also.. Jeremy survives the break, Jon ruins the Sixth Sense, and Chris tries trivia!

(Special Expansion Release) You may have noticed the particularly innocent and perhaps magical lens through which children often perceive the world.

Thunderbirds, Mantis Man and Fairies, oh jeez! Strange and unexplained disappearances have become a fascination for folks interested in mysteries, the paranormal, and all flavors of the unknown- especially since David Paulides' “Missing 411” has come on the scene. But it may be interesting and helpful to consider some fantastic creatures and strange entities that have been encountered in the wilderness and wilds of national parks and elsewhere, where so many have disappeared. Fairies and other supernatural beings have been a scapegoat for countless abductions and unexplained deaths across cultures since mankind could first say “AHHHH!” Is there a reason that so many cultures corroborate descriptions of similar entities and hidden folk in their lore and mythology? Whether you’re a follower of the Faerie Faith, curious about 7-foot mantis people encounters, or are just open-minded enough to hesitate going into the woods at night, you may want to stick around for these stories. So, lock the doors, light a candl

If you doubt that there is still mystery and magic in the world, then all you need to do is crank the volume on yet another Strange Listener Stories episode! We’ve got glowing forest beings, Walmart wizards, and maniacal manifesting clown dolls.. just to name a few! So light a candle, put your phone on Do Not Disturb, and prepare to.. be disturbed.

Oh supernatural, magical sound! Can you hear it? The sound of reality itself? All things come from vibration, after all, and on this episode we pull out our tuning forks and align the Belief Hole to the frequency of ancient audio intrigue and astral awesomeness! From sonic scepter-wielding Stargate gods, to OBE inducing Binaural beats, to stone-slinging Tibetan monks, we rediscover the lost art of harnessing the power of sound to bend the universe to our will!.. With much thanksgiving ;) Also, cymatic madness, ladybug death threats, and Jeremy’s accidental astral abduction

Explore the eerie and uncharted waters of sea monster lore in our latest podcast episode. We dive into the chilling 1962 Pensacola Florida Sea Serpent Incident, recounted by Edward Brian McCleary, and navigate the mysterious waters of the 1899 Seneca Lake Monster Attack. The debate continues with a skeptical perspective from David Goudsward on the Pensacola Sea Serpent. Journey with us through historical accounts like Captain Hare's encounter with a behemoth at Trinity Shoal Lightship and Henry Milligan's Washington Times sea serpent story. We also ponder the intriguing question: Did dragons exist as misidentified dinosaur bones? This episode, enriched with trending topics like cryptozoology, historical mysteries, and marine biology, also previews an expansion into time slips and glitches in reality, while addressing the skeptical argument of the oarfish and exploring the 1413 Catalonian Map's giant fish tales. Join us for a deep dive into historical sea serpent corroboration, including the earliest North Ame

What better time to tell some creepy tales of the modern-day werewolf: the dogman. With cryptid sightings increasing, we wanted to once again explore the potential reality of the dogman phenomenon through witness encounters as well as corroborated historical evidence, with some ancient artifacts thrown in for good measure. Almost never do we hear of an encounter where the dogman has harmed a human. The primary goal of these questionably-corporeal canine cryptids seem to be to elicit maximum fear from the victim before vanishing into the night. Could these creatures be simply feeding on our darkest energies produced during an extreme state of terror? And have these fear-eating, terror-tasters been engorging themselves on our fear, and the fright of our ancestors throughout recorded history? Join us as we answer all these questions to absolute and unquestioned satisfaction… as much as possible based on the evidence we’ve been able to gather. Hint…. THEY’RE REAL! Also.. fear vending machines, ancient space we

Explore the enigmatic world of the unseen in our latest podcast episode, where we delve into the mysterious phenomenon of the Glimmer Man and other invisible entities. We introduce the concept of the Glimmer Man (08:51), a Predator-like entity, and discuss the intriguing Invisible Terrestrial Entities (ITEs) observed through Santilli telescopes (10:32). Delve into the attributes of these Predator-like invisible entities, including their translucence and distinct clicking sounds (14:30), and hear a spine-tingling story of an encounter with what could be an angel or a cloaked humanoid (17:09). The episode also speculates on the possibility of these phenomena being tests of secret cloaking technology (24:46) and references Invisible Aliens as reported in Fortean Times (26:49). In our Expansion Preview (30:36), we venture into New Orleans Lore and the Beast of the Bayou, adding a cryptid twist to the invisible phenomena.
