  • 4. If You Go Down To The Woods Today

    01:15:53
    We had this strange idea. Why not go on an investigation and record it as a podcast episode?So that's exactly what we did! Juliette had some strange experiences at a local woodland spot. Making this location the perfect placefor our podcast experiment.However, we got much more than we bargained for, wandering around in the woods after dark!WARNINGThis episode does contain swear words so it may not be suitable for younger or more sensitive listeners. We would also like to point out. Nigel did some background research on the location and uncovered some horrific incidents that took place in or around this location. We did not go here with the specific intention of trying to contact the victims of these incidents. After discovering what happened here, We have thought about releasing this podcast. We are not going to give details of the incidents but felt it was the responsible thing to do to advise people that we were aware of what took place here and that we have the utmost respect for the victims.
  • 3. They Came From Outer Space.

    01:02:56
    They said the chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one, but it's not Mars they are coming from!Join Juliette and Nigel as they dive into the murky world of UFOs and conspiracy theories. From fear-inducing radio shows to a flying saucer crashvia strange lights chasing WW2 planes. All served up with an awful lot of enthusiasm from Juliette, who happens to love anything UFO related.We go off track quite a lot in this episode, as there are so many rabbit holes to fall down, but we get there eventually.It's fun to talk about a different topic. There's so much more to the paranormal than ghosts
