Could it explain things like alien abductions, ghost sightings and other paranormal events? Could it explain my own meeting with the Greys?! Let's dive in with an expert who's had 3 decades experience with the topic - ME!

The Jesus Mysteries - was He originally a pagan god?!

Today, I wanted to go back in time roughly 2000 years, to the birth of Jesus, or, at least, the birth of Christianity, and discuss a book that will be controversial for some but hopefully interesting to most of you. The Jesus Mysteries: Was the "Original Jesus" a Pagan God? Is the book true? Has it been debunked? Was Jesus a real man? Find out the answers to (some) of those questions here!

Haunted Dumbarton Castle and Overtoun's sinister bridge!

Today I'm going to dive into some creepy stories that are local to me. I've lived and worked in and around Dumbarton all my life so it seemed ideal to discuss a few of the legends attached to the place. Starting at Dumbarton Castle, where I used to be a steward, then moving along to Overtoun's notorious "dog suicide bridge" we'll find out about the supposed hauntings and mysterious, creepy events that have occurred here throughout the ages. I'll also mention some other, less well known tales, including a UFO sighting, a poltergeist report, and a story that was recounted to me by the witness himself - a no-nonsense security guard who was frightened out of his wits during a bizarre encounter with an unknown entity!Join me for this fascinating dive into Dumbarton's ghostly history.If you're enjoying the show, and want to help out with the running costs, you can Buy Me A Coffee at the link below.

Haunted Boleskine House, home of Aleister Crowley and Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin...

Today I thought we’d take a look at one of Scotland’s most mysterious locations – Boleskine House, a place which was once home to the 20th century’s most infamous occultist, Aleister Crowley and later Jimmy Page of rock titans Led Zeppelin. There’s been a lot written about Boleskine over the years with hauntings and strange tales said to be attached to the house so, let’s take a closer look and see if any of these legends stand up to scrutiny!

The Mystery of Cindy James - "Death by unknown event"

Thank you for joining me today for this first ever episode. Since it IS the first episode I know it has to be a good one or people won’t tune in for more, so, with that in mind I decided to kick things off with a true crime case that’s intrigued me for a few years now and that is – the mysterious death of Cindy James. I’m not going to go into all the tiny details of the case, that’s not what this podcast is about, I really just want to take a look at some of the more bizarre elements leading up to her disappearance, and the questions that the authorities were left with when she was eventually found.
