SUP KOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKS! I love you all and you look MARVELOUS! This episode is the first in a series of speculative wanderings around the globe, looking into the potential connections between anomalous phenomena hotspots and the recurring folkloric concept of "black magic academies"! This episode will cover North and South America, with a special focus on Chile's RECTA PROVINCIA! Sharp-eyed/ eared listeners may want to keep a sharp eye/ear out for some of the following: anomalous lights, shapeshifters, and areas featuring an overlap of misc. high strangeness! All of this is just the launchpad into a much larger, overarching exploration of infernal geography! PLEASE TO ENJOY!

Sup Kooooooooooooooooks! Here's a FAR SUPERIOR version of one of the first episodes we ever did that now seems like it was literally 2-3 years ago. Because it probably was. Literally. This one covers a lot more of Keel's conceptual contributions to ufology and high strangeness in general. Ultraterrestrials. The Superspectrum. Window Areas. Transmogrification. AND SO MUCH MO'! Extremely light on any "Mothman" but quite heavy on the incredible influence that this man has exerted on investigations into all things weird! ALSO: "The Fickle Finger of Fate!"...if you know, you know. PLEASE TO ENJOY!

SOURCES: all books by John Keel, though not as many of them as I'd have liked, which includes "Jadoo", "The Mothman Prophecies", "Operation Trojan Horse", and "The Eighth Tower"
