Psi-Friday with Mason

Ep. 45: Psi Friday with Mason: The Zone of Silence

What really happened in Mexico's mysterious Zone of Silence? In this week's Psi-Friday, Mason continues his exploration of the disappearance of famed horror writer Ambrose Bierce and examines the possibility that his journey may have led him into one of North America's strangest regions. Located near the 27th Parallel in the heart of the Chihuahuan Desert, the Zone of Silence has long been the subject of stories involving strange lights, unusual magnetic anomalies, meteorite impacts, lost travelers, radio interference, and unexplained encounters. Why has this remote desert captured the imagination of scientists, paranormal researchers, and adventurers for decades? Is there something unique about the geography and geology of the area—or have the legends grown larger than the facts? Join Mason as he explores the history, folklore, science, and mysteries surrounding the Zone of Silence and its connection to one of literature's most enduring disappearances. Watch now and decide for yourself. #PsiFriday #MasonWinfield #ZoneOfSilence #AmbroseBierce #Paranormal #Mystery #ChihuahuanDesert #MexicoMysteries #Fortean #HighStrangeness #GhostStories #StrangeHistory #27thParallel #TheSpiritualProject

Ep. 44: Psi Friday with Mason: “The Fenians Are Coming"

This week, Mason explores the fascinating story of the Fenian Brotherhood, Irish immigrants and Civil War veterans who settled in places like Buffalo's Old First Ward and dreamed of freeing Ireland from British rule. Their bold plan involved crossing into Canada and threatening the strategically important Welland Canal—a vital link in British trade and transportation. Were their plans realistic? What actually happened when they put their ideas into action? And why does the story of the Fenians still resonate more than 150 years later? Mason will also discuss why he has such a deep respect for Celtic culture, Irish folklore, and the immigrant communities that helped shape Buffalo's history. From rebellion and resilience to ghost stories and local legends, the legacy of the Fenians continues to echo through the streets of the Old First Ward. And if you'd like to experience that history firsthand, join Mason this weekend for the Haunted History Ghost Walk of the Old First Ward, where history, folklore, and the supernatural come together in one of Buffalo's most storied neighborhoods. #PSIFriday #MasonWinfield #Fenians #OldFirstWard #BuffaloHistory #IrishHistory #CelticCulture #HauntedHistory #GhostWalk #WesternNewYork #Paranormalist ☘️👻🍀

Ep. 42: Psi Friday with Mason: "Three Ships to Troy"

Psi-Friday with Mason returns this week with a more personal and spiritual turn. In this episode, Mason reflects on his friendship with the late Lydia Fish, a beloved folklore professor whose stories and presence left a lasting mark on everyone she encountered. He shares a story she once told just for him—Three Ships to Troy—and explores how that moment has stayed with him over the years. What unfolds is part memory, part tribute, and part spiritual download. Mason connects Lydia’s life and influence to deeper themes of storytelling, legacy, and the unseen threads that bind people across time. Woven into the episode is a journey back to ancient Greece, touching on the world of The Iliad by Homer—a story over 3,000 years old that still echoes today. Through it all, Mason brings together folklore, history, and something more intangible… the feeling that certain stories are meant to find us. A thoughtful, reflective episode for anyone interested in the deeper meaning behind the stories we carry—and the people who give them to us. #PsiFriday #MasonWinfield #LydiaFish #Folklore #Storytelling #SpiritualJourney #AncientGreece #TheIliad #BuffaloNY #Paranormal #SpiritWay

Ep. 41: Psi Friday with Mason: “A Good One” — Marv Levy, Route 77, and a Spooky Command

In this episode of Psi Friday with Mason, we follow a moment that stuck with him for years—a drive along Route 1-77 near Beckley, South Carolina, where everything changed in an instant. Mason connects the moment to something familiar to Buffalo fans—Marv Levy’s father's famous line, “Be a good one.” But this story goes deeper than a quote. It’s about listening, timing… and the kind of moment you don’t quite know how to explain. #PsiFriday #MasonWinfield #MarvLevy #Route177 #Beckley #ParanormalStories
