02: Stairs to Nowhere, Liminal Spaces, Into Thin Air #TheHauntedChair

05: The Silver Bridge, Chicago Mothman, John Keel #TheHauntedChair

In this episode of the haunted chair, we will continue our investigation into the bizarre and strange occurrences often associated with UFO phenomenon, inclusive of purported sightings of the Mothman prior to the Silver Bridge disaster, and its apparent sightings in Chicago, Chernobyl, and across the globe. We will probe the witnessing of dopplegangers and men in black, and engage in further speculation as to what may be the origin and nature of the manifestations, as well as their intended purpose, if any. As observed by John Keel, the questions begin to move past the simplistic “Can these things be,” into the real of real questioning “Why do these things exist?” Sources: The Mothman Prophecies by John Keel https://tinyurl.com/2mp6a397 The Chernobyl Mothman Nuclear Incident https://tinyurl.com/2m8uowr3 Fortean Times February 2023 The Chicago Mothman https://tinyurl.com/2gpeuus3 The Curse of Cornstalk https://tinyurl.com/2m4s4kco Music Voices by Patrick Patrikios https://tinyurl.com/ydegwxlt Charles Alexander - The Great Silver Bridge Song All other music by Melodyloops Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-haunted-chair--5754982/support [https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-haunted-chair--5754982/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss].

04: Alien Abduction, Strieber, Barney Hill, The Mothman #TheHauntedChair

In this episode of the Haunted Chair. It seems that for many months now, the world has been excited by the potential of reported sightings of UFOs across the globe. The Pentagon is investigating a rising number of cases involving unidentified aircraft, now tracking an estimated 650 incidents. These potential visitations are certainly not a new phenomenon, but are they, indeed, visitors from another world? Could they simply be sightings of advanced government aircraft that various departments wish to keep hush hush? Could they, in many cases, be something as simple as a Chinese weather balloon? Could they be a hallucination of minds that are predisposed toward belief, or perhaps something else entirely? And why do a majority of cases seem to imply something malevolent at work, with sinister sightings of men in black, as well as cryptids such as the Mothman appearing in close proximity? We will examine the subject of Alien visitation in depth, and look into a possible link to other sightings of supernatural ages throughout history.

03: Shadow People, The Hat Man, The Jungian Shadow #TheHauntedChair

In 1953, in the 44th installment of the Halls of Fantasy Radio program, listeners were traumatized by an episode titled “The Shadow People.” While certainly not the first cultural reference to this phenomenon, it does serve as a point of interest to a modern resurgence of what people believe are actual sightings of these seemingly malevolent entities. The origin of these apparitions remains unclear, although it may be possible to tie them to myths and legends of reported sightings stretching back through antiquity. The characteristics and circumstances vary, from manifestations in locations that appear to be a scene of a tragedy such as a car accident or house fire, to seemingly unbidden appearances in the middle of the night with accompanying symptoms of paralysis and intense dread. In this episode, we will examine various manifestations, possible origins, and take a close look at the shadows on the wall, perhaps directly behind you.

In this New Year episode of the Haunted Chair: New Year's resolutions have their roots in antiquity, and may relate to the warding of ghosts or evil spirits.
