#390 Psychic Spies of the Cold War - China and Russia’s Paranormal Agents

Kit and Rory have investigated a number of paranormal military programs over the years: MK Ultra and CIA experiments on Uri Geller and Ingo Swann, but America was only one superpower involved in the Cold War. What was Soviet Russia doing? And what about China, the most populous country on earth? As it happens they were also developing top secret paranormal programs to investigate telekineses and remote viewing, with some alarming alleged evidence of its existence. This week Rory and Kit dive deep into the history of psychic spies and Cold War.

    01:06:10|
    When we think about castles, a few things usually spring to mind - knights, kings, a moat. But if you mention Castle GLAMIS to the people of Scotland, only one word some to mind... MONSTER. That's because Castle Glamis allegedly holds a dark secret, one passed down from Earl to Earl - That there's a secret room in the castle, containing a prisoner who's been trapped their entire life...Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTubeJoin our Secret Society Facebook CommunitySupport us on Patreon.com/ThisParanormalLife to get access to weekly bonus episodes!Buy Official TPL Merch! - thisparanormallife.com/storeIntro music by www.purple-planet.comEdited by Philip Shacklady
  • #394 US Military Time Traveler from 2036 - John Titor

    01:01:59|
    The US military is, historically, at the bleeding edge of technology. Every minor advance in technology used to further fine tune the American war machine. What if they discovered the ability to time travel, wouldn’t they do everything they can to exploit it? And begs the question — if the military did develop time travel, how would we know? Some of these questions were answered one day in the year 2000 when a man claiming to be a military operative from the future, logged on a forum and started telling all. This is the story of John Titor.Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTubeJoin our Secret Society Facebook CommunitySupport us on Patreon.com/ThisParanormalLife to get access to weekly bonus episodes!Buy Official TPL Merch! - thisparanormallife.com/storeIntro music by www.purple-planet.comEdited by Philip ShackladyResearch by Ewen Friers

  • #392 Ghost Army of WWI - The Angels of Mons

    55:32|
    They say war is hell — that’s why it’s the last place you would expect to find angels, and yet in 1914 that’s exactly what British forces on the battlefield of Mons reported to see. With their backs against the wall they claimed that ghostly apparitions appeared and pushed the German forces back. The sheer number of witnesses and gravity of the situation make this one of the most confusing and compelling paranormal stories ever.
