			<description><![CDATA[<p>For more than twenty years, the United States government funded a classified program that attempted to use psychic abilities for intelligence gathering.</p><p>It was called Project Stargate.</p><p>Beginning in the early 1970s at the height of the Cold War, the CIA and U.S. Army quietly invested millions of dollars into researching remote viewing. The alleged ability to perceive distant locations using only the human mind. The program moved through multiple code names including SCANATE, GRILL FLAME, CENTER LANE, SUN STREAK, and finally STAR GATE. It operated out of an old wooden barracks at Fort Meade, Maryland. It was classified as a Special Access Program. And it was briefed to Congress twice a year.</p><p>The goal was simple in theory. Determine whether consciousness could access information across time and space. If it could, weaponize it.</p><p>In this episode of Paranormal Directive 13, we investigate the full history of Project Stargate. From the Soviet psychic arms race panic of the 1970s to the operational claims of locating downed aircraft and describing secret submarines. We break down the structure of remote viewing, the concept of the Matrix, ideograms, Analytical Overlay, and the six stage training protocol developed at Stanford Research Institute.</p><p>Then we examine the most controversial session in the entire archive. The May 22, 1984 Mars remote viewing transcript. A session that described pyramids, a dying civilization, tall thin beings in stasis chambers, and a scouting party that may have traveled to Earth. We separate what the document actually says from what internet headlines later claimed.</p><p>We also break down the 1995 American Institutes for Research evaluation that ultimately terminated the program. Jessica Utts argued the laboratory results showed statistically significant anomalous cognition. Ray Hyman argued the methodology was flawed and operationally useless. The CIA concluded that after 23 years and 20 million dollars, the program had never produced actionable intelligence.</p><p>But that is not where the story ends.</p><p>We explore the Gateway Process, Hemi Sync, Ingo Swann’s claims about structures on the far side of the Moon, the session summary labeled Galactic Federation HQS, and how declassified files became fuel for modern conspiracy culture.</p><p>If it was all nonsense, why did it last twenty three years?</p><p>If it worked, why was it shut down?</p><p>And if the lab results showed anomalies, what exactly were they detecting?</p><p>This is the story of the psychic arms race, the mythos that grew from it, and the doubt that still lingers.</p><p>Welcome back to Paranormal Directive 13.</p><br><p>Patreon</p><p>patreon.com/ParanormalDirective13</p><p>Tiktok</p><p>tiktok.com/paranormaldirective13</p><p>Instagram</p><p>instagram.com/paranormaldirective13</p><p>Youtube</p><p>youtube.com/paranormaldirective13</p><p>Music: <a href="https://www.purple-planet.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.purple-planet.com</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>In the year 2000, a user calling himself <strong>John Titor</strong> appeared on obscure internet forums claiming to be a soldier from the year 2036.</p><p>He didn’t just tell stories.</p><p>He provided schematics.</p><p>He explained black hole physics.</p><p>He described a coming American civil war, a Russian nuclear strike in 2015, and a fractured nation rebuilding from the ashes.</p><p>Most dismissed him as a hoax.</p><p>Until one detail, involving an obscure 1975 computer called the IBM 5100, was confirmed years later… and it wasn’t information that should have been publicly available at the time.</p><p>But that’s not the strangest part.</p><p>Titor claimed he wasn’t traveling through our past, but to a parallel worldline, one that diverged slightly from his own.

			<itunes:summary><![CDATA[<p>In the year 2000, a user calling himself <strong>John Titor</strong> appeared on obscure internet forums claiming to be a soldier from the year 2036.</p><p>He didn’t just tell stories.</p><p>He provided schematics.</p><p>He explained black hole physics.</p><p>He described a coming American civil war, a Russian nuclear strike in 2015, and a fractured nation rebuilding from the ashes.</p><p>Most dismissed him as a hoax.</p><p>Until one detail, involving an obscure 1975 computer called the IBM 5100, was confirmed years later… and it wasn’t information that should have been publicly available at the time.</p><p>But that’s not the strangest part.</p><p>Titor claimed he wasn’t traveling through our past, but to a parallel worldline, one that diverged slightly from his own.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>On August 5th, 1993, a group of seven experienced hikers set out across a high ridge in the Khamar-Daban mountains of southern Siberia. They were trained. They were prepared. They were led by a veteran instructor who had guided expeditions for decades.</p><p>Within an hour, six of them were dead.</p><p>According to the only survivor, a seventeen-year-old girl named Valentina, the collapse happened fast. Too fast. One hiker began screaming and convulsing. Foam poured from his mouth. Something darker followed. Moments later, their leader went down. Then another. Then another. People ran. People hid. One woman beat her head against a rock. Some of them tore off their clothes in freezing wind and sleet.</p><p>And Valentina watched it all happen.</p><p>Officially, the cause of death was hypothermia. Exposure. Exhaustion. A tragic but explainable wilderness accident.</p><p>But the details don’t line up.</p><p>Hypothermia doesn’t usually kill an entire group at the same time. It doesn’t explain convulsions, panic, bleeding, or the speed of the collapse. It doesn’t explain why experienced hikers lost all coordination at once, or why one teenager remained calm, made rational decisions, and walked off the mountain alone.</p><p>In this episode of <strong>Paranormal Directive 13</strong>, we take a deep dive into the Khamar-Daban incident, often compared to the Dyatlov Pass tragedy, but in some ways even more disturbing. We reconstruct the expedition step by step, examine survivor testimony, analyze the official findings, and explore competing explanations ranging from mass panic and physiological collapse to infrasound and toxic exposure.</p><p>And through it all, one question refuses to go away:</p><p>If this was just bad weather… why did it break them all at once?</p><br><p>Patreon</p><p>patreon.com/ParanormalDirective13</p><p>Tiktok</p><p>tiktok.com/paranormaldirective13</p><p>Instagram</p><p>instagram.com/paranormaldirective13</p><p>Youtube</p><p>youtube.com/paranormaldirective13</p><p>Music: <a href="https://www.purple-planet.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.purple-planet.com</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>This week, we’re switching things up. Last week we really went hard into the Bennington Triangle, so I figured we could us a little palate cleanser.</p><p>Instead of a traditional full episode, I stitched together <strong>three of my favorite Patreon minisodes</strong> to give non-Patreon listeners a taste of the chaos happening behind the paywall.</p><p>We start with <strong>The Russian Sleep Experiment, </strong>one of the most infamous and disturbing stories ever passed around the internet. Then we dive into <strong>The Wyoming Incident</strong>, a creepy broadcast hijacking that still raises way too many unanswered questions.

			<itunes:summary><![CDATA[<p>This week, we’re switching things up. Last week we really went hard into the Bennington Triangle, so I figured we could us a little palate cleanser.</p><p>Instead of a traditional full episode, I stitched together <strong>three of my favorite Patreon minisodes</strong> to give non-Patreon listeners a taste of the chaos happening behind the paywall.</p><p>We start with <strong>The Russian Sleep Experiment, </strong>one of the most infamous and disturbing stories ever passed around the internet. Then we dive into <strong>The Wyoming Incident</strong>, a creepy broadcast hijacking that still raises way too many unanswered questions. And finally… we completely derail into a <strong>20-minute rant about how the sun is way too hot and is absolutely part of some larger conspiracy</strong>.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode of <em>Paranormal Directive 13</em>, I’m joined by Vince, the mind behind the Instagram page <em>UAP_Pod</em>, for an open, no-script conversation about aliens, UFOs, and where the disclosure conversation actually stands right now.</p><p>We talk about how Vince got pulled into the UAP world, what made him start documenting encounters, and why so many experiences go unreported.

We also dig into controversial figures, interstellar objects like 3I/ATLAS, and the possibility that the truth about UFOs might be far stranger and more uncomfortable than a simple yes-or-no answer.</p><p>No definitive conclusions.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Every December 5th, across the Alpine regions of Europe, men put on carved wooden masks, strap bells to their bodies, and become Krampus: the winter enforcer, the punisher, the thing that hunts in the dark. It’s called tradition.</p><p>But there’s a story the runners whisper when the cameras are off.</p><p>They count the masks before the run. Twelve.</p><p>They count the men. Twelve.</p><p>But during the chaos… someone always notices there are thirteen.</p><br><p>In this episode of <em>Paranormal Directive 13</em>, we trace the true history of Krampus. From ancient Pagan winter spirits and Christian attempts to chain the devil, to America’s Belshnickel tradition and modern Krampuslauf violence that still sends people to the hospital every year. We examine documented injuries, police reports, bans, riots, and the unsettling psychology of ritual masks that don’t just hide the wearer, but change them.</p><p>And then we ask the question nobody wants to ask out loud:</p><br><p>What if the rituals aren’t symbolic?</p><p>What if belief, fear, and repetition have built something real?</p><br><p>Because when you put on the mask…</p><p>you might not be the only one wearing it.</p><br><p>Patreon</p><br><p>patreon.com/ParanormalDirective13</p><br><p>Tiktok</p><br><p>tiktok.com/paranormaldirective13</p><br><p>Instagram</p><br><p>instagram.com/paranormaldirective13</p><br><p>Youtube</p><br><p>youtube.com/paranormaldirective13</p><br><p><br></p><p>Music:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.purple-planet.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.purple-planet.com</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

We examine documented injuries, police reports, bans, riots, and the unsettling psychology of ritual masks that don’t just hide the wearer, but change them.</p><p>And then we ask the question nobody wants to ask out loud:</p><br><p>What if the rituals aren’t symbolic?</p><p>What if belief, fear, and repetition have built something real?</p><br><p>Because when you put on the mask…</p><p>you might not be the only one wearing it.</p><br><p>Patreon</p><br><p>patreon.com/ParanormalDirective13</p><br><p>Tiktok</p><br><p>tiktok.com/paranormaldirective13</p><br><p>Instagram</p><br><p>instagram.com/paranormaldirective13</p><br><p>Youtube</p><br><p>youtube.com/paranormaldirective13</p><br><p><br></p><p>Music:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.purple-planet.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.purple-planet.com</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Every October, we light our jack-o’-lanterns, don our costumes, and celebrate Halloween as a night of candy and horror movies. But beneath all that.

Something darker.</p><br><p>In this <em>Paranormal Directive 13</em> Halloween special, we peel back every layer of the modern holiday to uncover the real story behind it. Long before Halloween became a billion-dollar industry, it was <em>Samhain, </em>a blood-soaked Celtic festival marking the death of summer and the rise of winter. It was the night when bonfires roared on hilltops, when animal sacrifices were made to ensure survival, and when the veil between the living and the dead grew dangerously thin.</p><p>We’ll journey through thousands of years of history, from the wild, fire-lit rituals of Iron Age Ireland to the Church’s rebranding campaign that turned Samhain into All Hallows’ Eve… and from the chaos of 19th-century Mischief Night to the suburban candy trails of the 1950s. Along the way, you’ll meet headless horsemen, trickster spirits, and real historical figures who shaped Halloween into the night we know today.</p><br><p>But this story doesn’t end with candy. In the shadows of the modern world, the old ways are returning. Pagans, witches, and spiritual seekers around the world are reviving Samhain, the Witch’s New Year, as a time to honor the dead, face the darkness, and embrace the turning of the seasons.</p><p>So tonight, as you hand out candy or watch horror movies, take a moment to listen. Step outside. Feel the chill in the air. Because behind the laughter of trick-or-treaters and the glow of your pumpkin, that ancient pulse is still there, the same one that’s been beating since the first fires of Samhain were lit.</p><p>Halloween isn’t just a holiday.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>This week, I'm bringing you a special crossover episode from Weirder After Dark, where I joined hosts Sean, Cathy, and Chris to explore one of the most detailed and unnerving alien abduction cases in New England history.</p><p>January 25th, 1967. Ashburnham, Massachusetts. The Andreasson family's quiet evening is shattered when the lights fail and an eerie red and pink glow fills the night sky.

Her testimony, meticulously investigated and documented by researcher Raymond E. Fowler, remains one of the most compelling pieces of abduction evidence decades later.</p><p>Join us as we unpack the bizarre details, examine the evidence, and discuss what The Andreasson Affair might tell us about the phenomenon itself.</p><p>If you enjoy this conversation, be sure to check out Weirder After Dark on all podcast platforms and follow them on Spotify, Instagram, and Reddit!</p><br><p>Patreon</p><br><p>patreon.com/ParanormalDirective13</p><br><p>Tiktok</p><br><p>tiktok.com/paranormaldirective13</p><br><p>Instagram</p><br><p>instagram.com/paranormaldirective13</p><br><p>Youtube</p><br><p>youtube.com/paranormaldirective13</p><br><p><br></p><p>Music:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.purple-planet.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.purple-planet.com</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>A few months ago, filmmaker Jeremy Corbell dropped a cryptic warning:</p><p><em>“This is the lie they want you to believe”</em></p><p>That statement sent shockwaves through the UFO and conspiracy world. And for believers in <strong>Project Blue Beam</strong>, it sounded like the starting pistol for the biggest psy-op in human history.</p><p>In this episode of Paranormal Directive 13, we unravel one of the most chilling and complex conspiracy theories ever conceived. The alleged NASA and UN backed plan to fake a global apocalypse. From <strong>sky-sized holograms of religious figures</strong>, to <strong>electromagnetic mind control</strong>, to a final <strong>staged alien invasion</strong>, the theory suggests the endgame isn’t destruction… it’s obedience.</p><p>We dive deep into the life and death of <strong>Serge Monast</strong>, the man who exposed the alleged plan in the 1990s before dying suddenly under suspicious circumstances. We’ll explore the real science behind atmospheric projection, induced earthquakes, cognitive fingerprinting, and how technologies like <strong>HAARP</strong>, <strong>5G</strong>, and <strong>neural mapping</strong> could be laying the groundwork for a synthetic spiritual event.</p><p>You’ll also hear how strange events like the <strong>Norway Spiral</strong>, the <strong>Phoenix Lights</strong>, and modern mass drone sightings have been folded into the Blue Beam narrative, and how it’s evolved into a digital-age mythology that grows stronger every time something unexplained happens in the sky.</p><p>Is it real? Is it metaphor? Or are we already living in a softer version of it: where your phone knows what you believe before you do, and perception is more powerful than truth?</p><p><strong>This is Project Blue Beam.</strong></p><p>And if they do fake the Second Coming, you’ll want to know how the trick works</p><br><p>Patreon</p><br><p>patreon.com/ParanormalDirective13</p><br><p>Tiktok</p><br><p>tiktok.com/paranormaldirective13</p><br><p>Instagram</p><br><p>instagram.com/paranormaldirective13</p><br><p>Youtube</p><br><p>youtube.com/paranormaldirective13</p><br><p><br></p><p>Music:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.purple-planet.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.purple-planet.com</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

The alleged NASA and UN backed plan to fake a global apocalypse. From <strong>sky-sized holograms of religious figures</strong>, to <strong>electromagnetic mind control</strong>, to a final <strong>staged alien invasion</strong>, the theory suggests the endgame isn’t destruction… it’s obedience.</p><p>We dive deep into the life and death of <strong>Serge Monast</strong>, the man who exposed the alleged plan in the 1990s before dying suddenly under suspicious circumstances. We’ll explore the real science behind atmospheric projection, induced earthquakes, cognitive fingerprinting, and how technologies like <strong>HAARP</strong>, <strong>5G</strong>, and <strong>neural mapping</strong> could be laying the groundwork for a synthetic spiritual event.</p><p>You’ll also hear how strange events like the <strong>Norway Spiral</strong>, the <strong>Phoenix Lights</strong>, and modern mass drone sightings have been folded into the Blue Beam narrative, and how it’s evolved into a digital-age mythology that grows stronger every time something unexplained happens in the sky.</p><p>Is it real? Is it metaphor? Or are we already living in a softer version of it: where your phone knows what you believe before you do, and perception is more powerful than truth?</p><p><strong>This is Project Blue Beam.</strong></p><p>And if they do fake the Second Coming, you’ll want to know how the trick works</p><br><p>Patreon</p><br><p>patreon.com/ParanormalDirective13</p><br><p>Tiktok</p><br><p>tiktok.com/paranormaldirective13</p><br><p>Instagram</p><br><p>instagram.com/paranormaldirective13</p><br><p>Youtube</p><br><p>youtube.com/paranormaldirective13</p><br><p><br></p><p>Music:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.purple-planet.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.purple-planet.com</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
