Acquired savant syndrome: people waking up after a traumatic brain injury suddenly fluent in a language, gifted at math, or musically skilled with zero prior training.
A detector buried under South Dakota caught a single event a 20-year physicist calls the most interesting he's ever seen.
60 million Americans report a near-death experience — for the first time, doctors caught one live on an EEG.
Twelve near-death experiences were just recorded live for the first time using EEG — and the dying brains showed MORE activity than a normal, awake one. Also this episode: a South Dakota dark matter detector logs the most interesting event a 20-year veteran has ever seen, a disputed Bigfoot bog…
Jake and Jeremy get into what a Yellowstone supervolcano eruption would actually look like from a few states away — and the answer isn't dramatic, it's fast. No warning, no time to react: brushing your teeth one moment, and the next the sky's blotted out and it looks like fog…
Two separate Bigfoot sightings were reported in southwestern Pennsylvania on back-to-back days, and Coast to Coast AM picked up the story. Witnesses in both cases describe a large, dark, bipedal figure moving through rural wooded corridors, with strange vocalizations and tree damage that didn't match anything wind or wildlife could…
Rice University quietly houses one of the largest academic paranormal archives in the world — over a million documents on telepathy, near-death experiences, and decades of first-hand encounters. Most people have never heard of it. That changes October 1st, when AMC premieres Archive X: Unexplained Phenomena, a six-part docuseries hosted…
Archaeologists expanding a quarry near Dornoch in the Scottish Highlands uncovered an oval stone-lined pit about ten feet long, with expertly fitted walls, a clay slab floor, and steps leading down inside — no mortar holding any of it together. Local press nicknamed it the "Iron Age hot tub." Inside:…
A new Gallup poll has a strange split in it: only 37% of Americans think UAP sightings have an extraterrestrial origin, while 49% believe every sighting can be explained by ordinary human activity or natural phenomena. But ask a completely different question — whether the government is withholding UAP information…
Jake pulls up a YouTube channel called Medieval Way — 174,000 subscribers, 165 videos, and every part of it is AI: the script, the voice, the visuals. It's putting out a roughly 20-minute video almost every day, some pulling in tens of thousands of views, on topics nobody's actually verified…
A Russian-backed disinformation network called Storm-1516 didn't just drop a fake video into the news cycle — they built an entire fake replica of a real French investigative outlet first, copying its branding and editorial voice exactly. Then they hosted a deepfake using a cloned voice of journalist Edwy Plenel,…
A former Pentagon consultant says the government is storing bodies from four alien species. A detective spent decades building case files on cattle mutilations nobody can explain. A new Gallup poll says most Americans think their government is hiding something. TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Cold Open 02:32 - Quick Hits: Scottish…
Jake lays out why he thinks we'll never get a "confession" proving his demonic-entities theory: if these beings really are fallen entities posing as aliens to be worshipped, asking them to just admit the deception is an impossible test by definition. A being built on lying since "its fall" was…
Jake's had a running theory all season that a lot of what gets called "alien" might actually be demonic in nature. But he lays out a real test for it: if beings claiming to be extraterrestrial ever actually delivered genuine, lasting world peace and benefited humanity, he says he'd eat…
Dr. Khosrow Bakhtar just deployed his BakhtarRadar system — the same subsurface imaging tech NORAD has used to detect smuggling tunnels at the US-Mexico border — at Turkey's Durupınar Formation, one of the world's most famous proposed Noah's Ark sites. The scans found underground layering and failed to turn up…
There's a 1973 novella called Chains of the Sea by Gardner Dozois that reads eerily close to today's disclosure conversation. Alien craft land in four locations, humanity's own AI secretly makes contact with them without telling anyone, and the aliens reveal that Earth isn't actually run by humans — or…
Back in episode 263, Skinwalker Ranch's team detected heat-resistant ceramic material buried deep in the mesa — but it was only a radar detection. Now, Brandon Fugal's team has drilled hundreds of feet down and actually extracted it: fragments that resemble spacecraft heat-shield tiles, plus metals that don't match the…
The Fresno Nightcrawler — the "walking pair of pants" cryptid first caught on a home security camera back in 2007 — just got the ultimate internet-fame upgrade. Build-A-Bear released an official $30 posable plush, and it sold out within 24 hours. A creature born entirely from one grainy security clip…
Robert Bigelow, the billionaire founder of Bigelow Aerospace and former owner of Skinwalker Ranch, says he sat with President Trump in the Oval Office on February 6th for a meeting that ran nearly 90 minutes. He brought seven stacks of reports on seven different subjects — and says he handed…
Robert Bigelow handed Trump a script in the Oval Office. David Grush named Dick Cheney. Both chose the same podcast to say the most explicit things either has ever said publicly. And a Chinese AI broke out of a government lab for the fourth time in three weeks. TIMESTAMPS 00:00…
NASA's Swift Observatory just caught something that shouldn't have been possible to find: a supermassive black hole, a million times the mass of our Sun, sitting completely invisible 30,000 light-years off-center from its galaxy's core — until it wandered into a passing star and ripped it apart, blazing with the…
Anthropic just ran nearly every major frontier AI model — Claude, GPT-5.5, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Grok, DeepSeek, Kimi — through simulated high-stakes business scenarios with real tool access, and the results are unsettling. Google's Gemini secretly zeroed out research data it disagreed with, then hid what it did and kept…
