Dark Night of the Soulcontinued

In a previous episode, "Kay" came on and spoke about her deceased twin sister living inside her. Caryl Dennis is an author and researcher of Vanishing Twin Syndrome who heard the episode and reached out to explain that this is actually a known phenomenon. But now, on this episode, it will become clear that what ...continued

UFOs. Oneness experience. Concept Therapy. Where to begin with this one? How about with the fact that perhaps the only difference between this week’s guest–a former U.S. Airman stationed in the U.K.–and the airmen involved with the Rendlesham Forest Incident is the fact that he did not get out of the car to investigate the ...continued

We started this week’s edition of the show with the intention of speaking about sensory deprivation chambers but we never quite got there. Why? Because this week’s guest, Mark, has had a series of incidents wherein he thought he was being guided by angels and demons, separate from the inner conflicting voices we all have ...continued

This week we talk with "Bob," a man whose high strangeness experiences run the gamut of paranormal/ufological phenomena. As a bonus, he is from a city neighboring host Jeremy Vaeni’s hometown within the infamous Bridgewater Triangle. They have much to discuss. continued

Twin sisters. One dies at birth, but she’s still alive… inside of her sister. It sounds like a tabloid headline, but for Kay it is the most real thing she has ever known. On this episode, we start by exploring the experience of living with your twin when your twin isn’t alive. But that’s only ...continued

Just in time for Halloween…. It’s a ghost lore cliche: an old covered bridge. The ghost of a woman who committed suicide there shows up at midnight to unsuspecting travelers. Now imagine that you go there to see if it’s true and instead of finding a ghost, you find yourself on the human end of a ...continued

Dreamland listeners will remember "Sandy" as the retired veterinarian who is a lifelong experiencer. Her story was featured in Rob MacGregor’s book, Bump In The Night. In this episode of The Experience, we catch up with Sandy and find out how she is progressing in her schooling with the Visitors. continued

In this, the fourth and final installment of host Jeremy Vaeni’s experiences, we learn about a second type of energy that has come upon him three times as of yet. And the third time was the charm. continued

As if growing up with Visitors and high strangeness weren’t enough, in Jeremy’s adult life something new unfolded and became him. A spiritual energy that came and never left. A pathless path he walked and never stopped to rest along the way. In this episode, walk it with him if you dare. Here are the two ...continued

Picking up where he left off last week, host Jeremy Vaeni shares with us his visitor encounters from adulthood and gives us his latest thinking on how some of them may have come about. But first, he explores synchronicities and Star Wars – a bizarre connection from childhood he had all but forgotten until pondering ...continued

Listeners have been asking for a chronicle of host Jeremy Vaeni’s experiences. This begins a miniseries on them starting in early childhood, bringing us through high school and ending on an adult experience with broad, elegant implications for how reality actually works. continued

Imagine that you’re the captain of an oil rig in the heart of one of the worst oil spills in human history. Imagine that you’re also a lifelong experiencer of Visitor phenomena. Imagine what happens next…. Karen Cavalli returns to talk about her latest small, impactful book: Captain Chris: A Tale of the Sea, the ...continued

We’ve asked a lot of questions about the connection between fear and Visitor phenomena these past few weeks. This week, we’ll hear from Lee, a lifelong experiencer who confronted his fears and actually spent a night alone in the woods near Whitley’s old cabin in Upstate NY until he got what he ...continued

"Shannon" is an experiencer who has put a lot of thought into the fear factor of her experiences. In this episode she shares with us her findings and, perhaps no surprise to this audience, they bring us straight into the heart of the question: Who are we? continued

"Claire" has never shared her high strangeness experiences with anyone until now. She does not wish to belong to the experiencer club, so to speak. But does she have a choice? This is one of those riveting, and at times gut-socking, discussions that begins with a dead girl telling her what we all need to ...continued

When Jack Brewer was a child he had a UFO sighting that forever altered his perspective. Now, as an adult, he reports on the perspective-shapers within ufology. But here on The Experience, he also shares with us what, if not science, it may take to seriously engage UFOs and high strangeness phenomena. To read Jack’s excellent ...continued

Subscriber file is now posted. Deb Kauble is perhaps better known by her pseudonym "Kathy Davis" in Budd Hopkins’ book Intruders. Most of us are familiar with what she experienced in the 1980s, but what does she make of it all now these many decades later? On this episode, Deb shares her experiences and her thoughts ...continued

When last "Stephen" was on the program, he shared with us a dream he had that seemed very real–a dream of visiting an afterlife weigh station. Now, he returns with an update. After a bit of research, he has found the people he spoke to in the dream. They are real. And they are dead. ...continued

Steve and Shelene consider themselves a straight-laced, skeptically-minded couple with little tolerance for what they consider New Age belief. But that doesn’t mean they haven’t had high strangeness experiences of their own–including the most recent one involving a group of New Age spiritual healers! Technical difficulties resolved. If you do not see an audio player beneath ...continued

What is it like to be an experiencer at a conference where the experts on stage are talking about your situation? A situation they’ve likely not been in? And what is it that the nuts-and-bolts alien proponents have been overlooking when interpreting these experiences? We get into that and more in this cutting room floor ...continued

What is thought? What is time? Who are we? Why is there a striking contrast between the Western mind and the First Peoples mind asking these same questions? We’ll discuss it with Lakota activist Tiokasin Ghosthorse before delving into the deeper reality of Mother Earth. Star Nations, and what it means to be common. To learn ...continued

Is there a media coverup of all things ufology? We’ll ask writer/director Brent Hoff, former writer for "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" and co-founder of Wholphin DVD. Brent is in a unique position to be honest about such things as he has had an incredible close encounter, which led to a huge revelation by ...continued

Something big is happening in Hawaii right now that has ramifications for us all. Host Jeremy Vaeni explains Hawaii’s Mauna Kea Protectors movement in terms we have not heard before. Then, he takes us on a walkthrough of a week spent with Lakota activist Tiokasin Ghosthorse that shows the stark contrast between Western brain-mind, which ...continued

Fear triggers adrenaline, which alters our perception, slowing time and hyper-concentrating our focus. Is fear being used to open us to other dimensions where we can experience and interact with beings in these realms? That is the hypothesis of this week’s guest, Velvet. And as deeply insightful as that question is, the questions don’t end ...continued

Last week a real gem of a man passed away: Bruce Duensing. Bruce stayed under the radar of ufology, preferring to remain in the blogosphere. But his contributions to the possibilities of how high strangeness functions are immeasurably important. Unfortunately, he passed away before we could get him on The Experience. Here now is a ...continued

This week’s guest, Matt, has only a few high strangeness experiences in his background. But the one that has haunted him his entire life is huge and may be unique: a recurring dream he had all throughout his teen years that involved a class reunion well in the future. What Matt witnessed over and over ...continued

Is there a difference between the quality of contact experiences that take place in the external world and those that come from an interior domain? Why? What is truly happening here? These are the types of questions our guest Karen tackles, drawing on her lifetime of experiences to do it. And it might just be ...continued

Maxine Meilleur is not your average psychic medium. She is the first Masters of Divinity student at the Harvard Divinity School and first Spiritualist and working medium at Harvard since they expelled Frederick Willis in 1857. She also author of Great Moments of Modern Mediumship Volume 1. She is here not only to talking about ...continued

Project Core was an anonymous online survey comparing and contrasting experiences of every type of high strangeness phenomenon conceivable. Assembled for the first time to talk about some of the results and where we go from here are team members Jeff Ritzmann, Tyler Kokjohn, Ellen Tarr, and host Jeremy Vaeni. One anomaly that has come ...continued

Climate change. Energy scarcity. Economic collapse. Bodily harm from a lifetime of dieting on synthetic foods. Given that these are only some of the dark clouds hanging over our heads, is it possible that what humanity is going through–what Visitors have been warning us about for decades–is nothing short of a cultural near-death experience? That’s ...continued

First Half (Free) In the first part of this week’s episode, Joe Gooch, Melissa Kriger, and Stephen, all of whom shared their high strangeness experiences in previous episodes, come together to give thanks and pay tribute to Anne Strieber for all that she has done and continues to do for experiencers, starting, of course, with her ...continued

Is the physical universe embedded in a psychic universe emanating from a spiritual one? According to Chris Leask’s experiences, the answer is yes.

What happens when you wake up to the fact that you’re an experiencer and your husband or wife doesn’t believe you? This is the type of common problem that rarely gets addressed publicly. We’re lucky to have with us Melissa Kriger who has been there, done that, and is willing to share her very personal ...continued

Visitors. Ghosts. Rainbow People. Dinosaurs. Just how strange can strange get? If this week’s episode were a tabloid headline few would believe it. But it’s not. It’s life. These things are real. And this week’s guest stepped forward because he heard host Jeremy Vaeni on another program talking about his first high strangeness experience at ...continued

Have you ever had a high strangeness experience in public while those around you remained oblivious? This week we talk to Marie about a couple of encounters just like this.

Have you ever had dead relatives come to you in dreams? How about people you don’t know? Have you ever had childhood memories flash through your adult mind that are simply impossible… until you confirm with close family that something mysterious has indeed happened? This week we will talk to a subscriber named Stephen who ...continued

How do we define orbs? Does abduction hypnosis create a de facto hero’s journey? Do you right now exist as a whole entity broken up into dimensions, whose attention may only exist in one at a time? Is visitor phenomena really one waking oneself up to this? What was supposed to be a roundtable discussion of ...continued

JP was raised a pagan. His mother is a powerful witch who performs exorcisms on haunted houses. He has spent his life in high strangeness, often invoking it as opposed to having it happen to him. In this talk, we go down the list of some entity types we’ve talked about on the show to ...continued

We’ve talked on this show about orbs of light, light balls that morph into beings of light, and fireballs that appear as harbingers of death. Now, we hear from Chris Brown who walks us through his personal orb encounters of a different kind in the small town of Sublimity, Oregon. The illustration is his depiction ...continued

Do people who invoke highly strange experiences through religious ritual and magic count as experiencers? Are phenomena the same for those who invite these things into their lives as those who do not? We tackle these issues with one half of the Project Archivist team, Lobo, who practices his own version of Santeria, as taught ...continued

Can you be an experiencer even if you don’t consider yourself one? How many high strangeness experiences does one need to have happen to be called an experiencer?

From 2003-2010 Dr. Ardy Sixkiller Clarke retraced the footsteps of John Lloyd Stephens and Frederick Catherwood–two prominent 19th century explorers of Mesoamerica. However, her search differed in one crucial way: she was searching for the truth behind tales of sky people, alien encounters, and the origin of the Maya civilization. What she found is nothing ...continued

Are concepts alive? Are they competing for our attention? Do ideas haunt us until we notice because, like the specter itself, we exist paradoxically in both being and nonbeing, as evidenced by our present only existing with respect to the past? We’ll learn all about the quirky philosophy of history called "hauntology" and whether it ...continued

Can ruminating about Trickster Theory cause trickster phenomena to occur in your life? We’ll ask "Emma," cohost of the Meat Mutant podcast. She is a skeptic. She is a scientist. Most importantly, she is an experiencer of chronic synchronicity who has been paying attention to the Trickster Theory. To find out more about Emma and listen ...continued

The second half of our conversation with philosopher Bernardo Kastrup, author of Why Materialism Is Balony, takes a turn to the experiential as he reveals for the first time ever the single driving force behind his work and, indeed, his life’s mission.
