We’re back after another break, this time it wasn’t our fault, I swear! :) Craig’s laptop died unfortunately but we’re back in action with our regular spookiness! We chat about Poltergeists! What are they? We hear so much about them, especially in Hollywood but where did the term actually come from? Are there any cases of Poltergeist activity that are actually comparable to Hollywood? We delve into some famous cases as well as the origin of Poltergeists! Let us know what you think. Have you ever had an encounter with a poltergeist? We’d love to hear from you!

Mind control, the government drugging unsuspecting citizens, the CIA dabbling in the use of black magic as a weapon of war; this all sounds like a sci-fi fantasy novel, right? Wrong. This all actually happened in the 1950s, the CIA were testing mind-control techniques in a top-secret project called MKUltra. In this episode we delve into what MKUltra actually is and gloss over some of the 150 subprojects and its effect on the nation. Also we explore the conspiracies relating to MKUltra. Is this still going on today? Is it REALLY declassified? You decide.

In Episode 32 we go back to our roots! After a two-parter of Jonestown we decided something a bit more upbeat and more "us". We chat about Djinn/Jinn, the demons of Islamic Folklore. We had no idea that this was so comprehensive until we started looking into it! As always, it is never our intention to offend or deliberately misrepresent a story, if we get something wrong please let us know!

In the finale of this two-parter episdode we go over what happened in Guyana and the formation of Jonestown, how Jim Jones manipulated over 1000 people including Congressman Leo Ryan and his crew. How this played out was one of the most tragic losses of life in modern history.

WE'RE BACK FROM OUR HONEYMOON.

In Episode 28 we chat about the Winchester Mystery House which was a stop on our honeymoon that we just had to chat about. Doors leading to nowhere, staircases to ceilings, staircases to the same floor, doors that lock behind you... The Winchester Mystery House has it all. We delve through the bizarre history as well as taking a look at other people's experiences at the house as well as discussing our own.

Have you been to the Winchester Mystery House? Did you experience anything?
