• 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?

• 33.17 - MU Podcast - Demonic Dangers

  Can unseen forces truly take hold of a human life? In this episode, we explore disturbing phenomenon of spirit possession — not just as religious dogma or psychiatric diagnosis, but as a real-world enigma that challenges both science and faith. While some cases can be dismissed, others present undeniable signs: levitation, supernatural strength, bizarre skin markings, and personalities that emerge with impossible knowledge. We examine the terrifying case of Maurice Theriault, whose possession was caught on video, and revisit the diary that inspired The Exorcist, revealing a world where invisible entities — the so-called “Mutated Ghosts” — may be infiltrating the vulnerable. Are these truly demons, or something far more deceptive? Then, in our Plus+ extension, we follow a chilling encounter involving a well-known paranormal researcher and a shape-shifting Native American spirit. What begins as a dreamlike connection escalates into an abduction story laced with ancient trickster lore, fractured reality, and dark intent.

• 33.16 - MU Podcast - Memories of 2545

  When is a dream just a dream? Could recurring visions of a futuristic Tokyo—one with neon-lit skyways, android garrisons, and flooded shopping malls—be something more? This week, we look at the extraordinary story of a woman who’s been visiting the same future city since early childhood. Through years of out-of-body experiences and strange astral journeys, her vision of this place became increasingly vivid, consistent, and shockingly detailed. But everything changed when a friend revealed she’d been dreaming of the same exact world. Is this a shared hallucination, a soul memory, or a glimpse into a parallel incarnation? And what does it mean when a shaman tells you… your soul is missing? Then for our Plus+ Members, we unravel a bizarre tale of astrology parties gone wrong, tarot reader curses, and a chilling explanation rooted in the ancient concept of ether. We explore how curses might propagate through a spiritual substance, and how paranormal phenomena could be supercharged by emotional trauma, magnetic fields… or bad wine and a few too many crystal balls.
