Blizzards buried southern Alberta in over 6 ft of snow. Roughly 30,000 head of cattle starved to death in their pastures. The army was called in to help with snow and animal clearing. An airlift began to help stranded families delivering food, water and fuel.

You wake up unable to move, completely paralyzed. You feel something, something evil within the room. You are able to stare blankly at a horrible vision.The Old Hag.Legend tells us of a superstitious belief that a witch - or an old hag - sits or "rides" the chest of the victims, rendering them immobile.The experience is so frightening because the victims, although paralyzed, seem to have full use of their senses.In fact, it is often accompanied by strange smells, the sound of approaching footsteps, apparitions of weird shadows or glowing eyes, and the oppressive weight on the chest, making breathing difficult if not impossible.All of the body's senses are telling the victims that something real and unusual is happening to them. The spell is broken when the victim is fully awake and well completely baffled by what just happened to them since now the room is entirely normal.Confronted with such a bizarre and irrational experience, it's no wonder that many victims fear that they have been attacked in their beds

No one really knew Garnell Moore and no one knows what happened to him. He was a six year old boy, who never attended school, had no medical or dental history, and had no mother or father. There is only one photo ever taken of him, age four. He was missing for three years before anyone had taken notice. This is the mystery of The Invisible Boy, the disappearance of Garnell Moore. Garnell was born in Baltimore Maryland on May 18, 1995 to a career criminal mother, who spent most, if not all of her adult life behind bars on drug related offences. His father was a petty criminal who was transient and mostly homeless.

Garnell found himself living at his aunt Belinda's rental house at age six. Belinda Cash never legally adopted Garnell or even attempted to make any effort to officially become the caretaker of young Garnell. Belinda never registered Garnell in any schooling and the

On the afternoon of May 20, 1967 an amateur geologist, Stephen Michalak stumbled down the highway toward the Falcon Motor Inn in great distress.An RCMP highway patrol officer slowed down and observed Michalak hunched over and swaying but apparently trying to flag him down. After hearing Michalak tell a story and warning the officer to stay away from him because he had radiation poisoning, the officer determined he must have been drunk and drove off after Michalak declined help.Michalak staggered into the Motel front office breathing heavily and asking to see a doctor.

The next day his wife and son met him at the bus terminal in Winnepeg where he was promptly driven to the hospital. Michalak would be forever perplexed about his physical condition.Something very strange happened to Steve Michalak in the spring of 1967 just north of Falcon Lake Manitoba for

In this episode we speak to researcher and historian Dr. Christopher Laursen about the poltergeist phenomenon. About Dr. Christopher Laursen from his web page https://christopherlaursen.com I am a scholar of religions, sciences, and the environment. I explore and study the interconnections between them. What Carl Gustav Jung called the “collective unconscious,” the philosopher Gregory Bateson referred to as “ecology of mind,” and the visionary artist Alex Grey calls the “net of being.” The way I do this is by focusing on people’s extraordinary experiences, historically and in the present day. Such experiences have been given many names: intuition, self-actualization, peak experiences, mysticism, paranormal, supernormal, preternatural, psi, parapsychological, psychical, second sight, extra-sensory perception, clairvoyance. I position these experiences as part of nature, human and environmental. These things are “super natural.” Inspired by the work of the historian of religions Jeffrey J. Kripal, I insert a sp

In February of 1970, police officer Richard Colledge, formally Canadian Armed Forces Infantryman, opened the door to a small downtown apartment to investigate what his colleagues described as strange events. He was told that loud noises could be heard from within the walls, objects would fly off walls and shelves and furniture would levitate and that a boy, was presumably either the cause or the centre of such mysterious mischief which Roman Catholic Priests were now praying over.   He stepped over the threshold of the apartment door a skeptic, but exited the residence a complete believer in the paranormal. And he wasn't the only one. Other police officers, Roman Catholic Priests, Nuns, Newspaper Reporters, a city building inspector, a lawyer, two doctors, Family, Friends and complete strangers all witnessed the strange goings on at 237 Church St. In St. Catharines Ontario Canada. Today, it remains the most documented case of Poltergeist activity known. And it also is the least publicized because the family,
