Throughout history, new technologies have always sparked apprehension and suspicion. However, arguably none have done so more than the camera, at least from a superstitious perspective. Traditional cultures even believed these modern marvels could steal a piece of your soul. Folklore, perhaps, but could there be something to such a concept? In this episode, we explore this outlandish idea and consider whether, from an energy or new age perspective, cameras and the people who use them could actually take and capture energy from their subjects. If so, what implications could this have for our modern reality?

In 1996, veteran UFO researcher Budd Hopkins published a report that would change the UFO scene in ways no one could have imagined. He described the saga of a woman seemingly abducted from her New York City apartment in the middle of the night and thrust into a world of stalkers, MIB-like men, and diplomatic mystery. No longer was the UFO phenomenon limited to rural locations or lonely roads; if someone could be taken from a bustling city, then no one was safe. But was it true?
We discuss stunning new revelations suggesting that the story may not have been investigated as thoroughly as it should have and consider whether Hopkins may have been drawn in by the lure of crafting a more sensational narrative. Then, for our Plus+ members, we explore a series of strange mass hysteria events that may have a paranormal cause after all.

Since the 1970s, thousands of cattle mutilations have been reported around the world, each incident marked by bizarre and unexplained circumstances. Ranchers and researchers have been left wondering: who—or what—is responsible for these unsettling events? While many attribute the phenomenon to UFOs and alien entities, supported by accounts of strange crafts, glowing lights, and advanced technologies observed near the mutilation sites, there may be another explanation.
Silent helicopters, laser precision, and the presence of military bases near these hotspots suggest a more human origin. Could these mutilations be tied to something unleashed in the aftermath of World War II? The possibility that these incidents are part of a larger cover-up—a secret more disturbing than extraterrestrial involvement—raises profound questions.
