William Shatner joins us on The Basement to talk about the masks we wear for the people we love. Then the conversation turns to stranger ground.

In 1967, Shatner crashed his dirt bike into a prospector’s trench in the Mojave Desert, alone and baking in his leathers. Over the ridge stood a figure dressed in silver, and it led him somewhere.

He also opens up about surviving stage 4 melanoma in the same stretch of time his daughter faced her own diagnosis. He shares the phone call he made to his dying sister, and what it taught him about Captain Kirk’s final words.

From Spinoza to the Great Pyramid’s hidden hum, this is a man still asking big questions. What do we see at the very end? Shatner has a theory.

A heavy dresser slides out of a bedroom on its own, and a twelve-year-old girl starts speaking in a dead man’s voice. Investigators show up planning to stay eight weeks and end up staying two years.

In Gary, Indiana, a family fights back with bleach, sage, and prayer while something turns on their children. Police officers, nurses, and a social worker see things they can’t explain.

In Atchison, Kansas, a young couple brings a new baby home to an old rental house. Then scratches start showing up on the father, and a psychic gives them a name.

Three houses, three families, and a long list of witnesses. The people who walked through those doors never looked at a home the same way again.

Jeff Kripal grew up in Tornado Alley, tried to fast his way to sainthood as a teenager, and then one night in Calcutta in 1989, something happened that he's spent almost forty years writing about. Now he's the man behind the Archives of the Impossible: Jacques Vallée's files, John Mack's abduction research, thousands of letters strangers sent Whitley Strieber. Not believing. Not debunking. Just listening. And he told me a story he's never written down.

In 1911, the Olympic was the biggest ship in the world, until a Navy cruiser bent its keel. Its owner, J.P. Morgan, couldn't get anyone to pay for the damage.

But the Olympic had an identical twin, sitting unfinished in a Belfast shipyard. Over one empty weekend, the names were changed, and the insurance on the damaged ship jumped to twelve and a half million dollars.

Morgan cancelled his suite on the Titanic, and so did dozens of his friends. Three of the richest men in America got an invitation instead, and all three stood between Morgan and the bank he wanted.

A rescue ship waited in the ice with 3,000 blankets. And the wreck still carries a secret on its bow, rusting through the paint.
