• 33.22 - MU Podcast - The Orphan Tulpa

  What if one of the most iconic characters in pop culture wasn’t just a fictional hero, but a living archetype, an entity with its own will, forged in the minds of millions and fed by the imagination of its creators? Legendary comic book writer Alvin Schwartz thought his time with Superman was long over. But when a mysterious seven-foot-tall monk appeared at his doorstep claiming to be a tulpa, Schwartz was thrown into a mind-bending journey through the strange borderlands of reality and fiction. The monk, calling himself Thongden, insisted he was real… and fading. And he needed Schwartz to keep him alive. In this season finale, we explore the metaphysical memoir An Unlikely Prophet, uncovering Schwartz’s hidden memories of psychic events, spontaneous channeling, and paranormal influences that began the moment he took on the mantle of Superman’s writer. We hear bizarre tales of supernatural inspiration involving Jackson Pollock, mystic paintings of Hindu deities, and even a Hawaiian shaman who claims Tulpa Superman once saved the islands from volcanic doom. Then for our Plus+ members, we dive into the chilling Soviet archives of anomalous underwater encounters—where submariners report collisions with invisible crafts, stone spheres ramming hulls, and USOs that defy radar and reason. We follow the trail of Russian researcher Mikhail Gerstein into lakes and oceans where strange entities dwell beneath the surface, including terrifying run-ins from elite “hydronauts” who may have seen things no one was meant to survive.

• 33.21 - MU Podcast - The Shimmering Hunter

  While public interest in the unexplained continues to grow and topics like cryptozoology and UFOs become more mainstream, some phenomena still remain too unsettling to discuss openly. Among these are the chilling encounters with cloaked or invisible entities, shadowy beings whose presence is felt more often than openly reported. Countless eyewitnesses have described terrifying experiences of unseen figures seemingly watching, stalking, or hunting them. But what are these hidden predators, and why do their victims feel such profound dread? In this episode, we examine some of the most bizarre and unsettling encounters with these “Glimmer Intruders.” From hunters stalked by shimmering humanoids in the woods to homeowners confronting phantom intruders, we explore cases that challenge our understanding of reality itself. We discuss strange sightings that resemble the cloaking technology portrayed in the iconic film “Predator,” yet predate its release by decades, including unnerving personal accounts from across the globe. Then, for our Plus+ members, we step into the realm of energy healing and bodily mysteries. We investigate wild reports from energy medicine pioneer Donna Eden, including cases of bi-location during severe PMS episodes, phantom limbs possessing ESP-like awareness, and bizarre energy disruptions during deep meditative states. These accounts reveal the extraordinary abilities of the human body and mind, abilities science has yet to fully understand.

• 33.20 - MU Podcast - The Fractured Self

  Few psychiatrists have ventured beyond the confines of Western clinical thinking. Dr. Ralph Allison was one of the rare exceptions. While treating patients diagnosed with multiple personality disorder, he began to encounter alters that were far more than psychological fragments. These were fully formed, autonomous entities with their own histories, intentions, and, in some cases, violent desires. Some existed to protect. Others sought total control. A few wanted their host dead. In our Plus+ extension, we explore the surreal world of bizarre hauntings, where shadowy dwarfs creep through bedroom doors, water-dwelling trolls stir beneath the surface, and mischievous gnomes blur the line between folklore and intrusion.

• 33.19 - MU Podcast - Roots of Vengeance

  The idea that invisible entities share our world is unsettling enough, but what if some of them dwell in ancient trees, ready to unleash devastating consequences on those who violate their sacred domain? Around the world, countless cultures don’t just believe this, they act on it. In this episode, we uncover eerie tales of tree spirits and vengeful fae, revealing that belief might not even matter. Disrespect their woodland homes, and the punishment can be swift and deadly. Then, for our Plus+ members, we follow the transformative ayahuasca journey of a man who uncovered a disturbing karmic loop and otherworldly truths, shedding light on reincarnation, spiritual upheaval, and the hidden forces quietly directing our lives.

• 33.18 - MU Podcast - The Agent of the Dreamscape

  We begin with Ben’s first-ever lucid dream, set in a glowing, otherworldly version of Tokyo. The moment he becomes aware inside the dream, a grey-suited figure appears and violently tackles him mid-flight. Known only as “The Agent,” this strange man triggers a wave of recognition and fear. Was he a projection of Ben’s subconscious, or something far more real patrolling the boundaries of the dream world? The experience sparks a disturbing recollection of the Wu family case in Taiwan. What started with one daughter’s claim of spiritual possession spiraled into an entire household descending into ritual abuse, starvation, and madness. With links to Taoist deities, feces rituals, and apocalyptic visions, the incident remains one of Taiwan’s most chilling examples of mass psychosis — or possession. For Plus+ members, we turn to the humanoid wave of 1973. Dozens of reports emerged across the United States describing bizarre beings, glowing craft, and entities that seemed mechanical yet sentient. Drawing from David Webb’s forgotten analysis, we uncover a pattern in the chaos and explore what might have been visiting during that strange and unsettling year. 33.16 - MU Podcast - Memories of 2545 Out-of-Body Experiences: Explorations and encounters with the astral plane Did Bigfoot Really Exist?
