We return to New Zealand to head to the southern island on the hunt for its haunted history. From haunted department stores, ghostly figures on bridges, ghost towns and pubs with an owner who still stays on, Mark Wallbank covers some of the locations in his latest book, Haunted South Island.

The early days of modern ufology seem to be a procession of characters, wild tales and messages from the stars most forgotten than the notable exceptions. Yet one man found his calling after reading the headlines about the Flatwoods Monster in his home town. Gray Barker found himself front and centre in the late 50s and 60s as his involvement in the UFO field spanned publishing, investigating, hoaxing and writing and his legacy is still seen to this day. In his new book, author Gabriel Mckee takes us through some of the wild situations Barker would seem to find himself in, the legacy he left and what how he still influences the field even to this day. You can find the book here: [https://www.amazon.co.uk/Saucerian-Unbelievable-Life-Barker-Black/dp/0262049546/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1K4VNJ5D5BJGX&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Do3yHnBO2dlB5UtYnJEmegh8KnSd267yIVmoJIzqhwe404tBzxcwKIUlKoenSNVwFOhRY9dyovib-PEwAVP8kDWf5jA6ZFmZxX63FDXBH1_2CxEadc27dI5lMg7Xtxf3nQMotaWUTgrDXSR-60OX38Vqq8-un2IPhcN4HE01p6Q.JjwXlm05y9Vr0FVc1fCjAhi7-7RJD0bqehjsZlju-MM&dib_tag=se&keywords=the+saucerian&qid=1751141436&sprefix=%2Caps%2C319&sr=8-1&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.95fd378e-6299-4723-b1f1-3952ffba15af] Gabriel's website is here: [https://gabrielmckee.com/] Thank you to Gabriel for joining me.

In his latest book, cryptozoologist Ken Gerhard looks in to a whole series of encounters with strange creatures who seem to be able to defy gravity against all common sense.  From the legendary encounters with Mothman back in the mid 1960's, the fearsome Owlman lurking in Cornwall and Spring Heeled Jack terrorising Victorian London, these strange visitors seem to appear from nowhere and leave the witnesses traumitised.  You can find Ken's website here: [https://kengerhard.com/] His books can be found here: [https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/author/B00EAFHG2Q/allbooks?ingress=0&visitId=7e839d65-6700-4a46-a2bf-fc2f30f44391&ref_=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1] Thank you to Ken as always for his time and conversation.  Our Patreon is now live, if you want to support the show and get Ad-Free episodes, bonus content, early release of the regular show and monthly prizes for everyone who signs up!

Since the dawn of time, the question of what happens when we pass away has been a cornerstone of cultural development around the world and how we view ourselves and our place in the world.  In his series of books, Chris Carter argues that the case for the afterlife is not some wishy washy dream or unsubstantiated belief but a tangible and very real reality that doesn't conform to religious or paranormal belief structure.  Is it simply a matter of time before we accept the reality that death has never been the end? You can read more from Chris here: [https://www.llewellyn.com/journal/article/3231] His books can be found here:  [https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/author/B003M3FR5K/allbooks?ingress=0&visitId=39672785-7a28-4715-8207-f88109300534&ref_=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1] A big thank you to Chris for joining me Our Patreon is now live, if you want to support the show and get Ad-Free episodes, bonus content, early release of the regular show and monthly prizes for everyone who signs up!
