The Shroud of Turin has long fascinated both historians and the religiously devout. It is purported to be THE garment that Jesus’ body was wrapped in after his crucifixion. What makes it so strikingly unique and altogether baffling is the image of a mad seemingly burned into the fabric of the cloth.

The first record we have of the Shroud of Turin comes from the middle ages, and even since its earliest known days controversy has followed in its wake. Some believe “whole cloth” the Shroud was touched (literally) by the hand of G-d. Others, being slightly more skeptical, believe this was the work of a talented trickster.

The Vatican, along with a group of curious scientists, decided to radiocarbon date it and put any confusion and mystery finally to rest. Your interpretation of what happened next is likely going to be a result of your faith and background. Needless to say, rather than removing the unknown, the church inadvertently made the mystery of the Shroud of Turin much larger than they ever expected. Tune in and let us know where and when you think the Shroud originated.

Twins are often said to have a special connection, one that goes beyond the usual sibling bond. Some people believe that twins can even communicate telepathically, sharing thoughts and feelings without speaking.

Decades of scientific research on twins have yielded a vast array of possibilities, including the idea that twins may share a telepathic connection. Some notable studies have suggested that identical twins are more likely to experience having the same thoughts or feelings at the same time. Other studies have found that identical twins are better at guessing each other's answers to questions than fraternal twins. However, other studies have found no correlation between twins and parapsychological abilities.

The results of twin research are still being debated, and more research is needed to determine whether or not twins do share a telepathic connection. However, the research that has been done so far suggests that there is something unique about the twin bond that deserves further study. Regardless of what scientists think, this stuff is absolutely fascinating!

According to eyewitnesses, the creature was about 5 feet tall, had a large head, red eyes, a slender body, and grayish-brown skin with a texture similar to that of a reptile. According to the witnesses, the creature appeared to be injured or ill and was unable to move.

The local authorities were notified, and a team of military and civilian officials reportedly responded to the scene. They captured the creature and took it to a local hospital for examination. Although government and military officials denied any knowledge of the incident and dismissed the reports as a hoax or a misidentification of a known animal, we have shocking eyewitness accounts of what happened inside the hospital.

Ouija boards are a type of board game typically used as a tool for communicating with the spirit world. The board itself is usually a flat board with letters of the alphabet, numbers, and other symbols printed on it, along with a planchette, which is a heart-shaped or triangular device with a small window in the center. The players place their fingers on the planchette, which then moves around the board to spell out words, phrases, or answer yes-or-no questions.

While many people believe that Ouija boards can be used to communicate with spirits, some people use them as a form of divination or to contact deceased loved ones.

Michel de Nostredame, better known as Nostradamus, was a 16th-century French physician and astrologer. He is widely famous for his book "Les Prophéties," which consists of a collection of 942 quatrains (four-line poems) that are said to predict future events. Although many of Nostradamus' predictions are open to interpretation, some have been linked to significant events in history, such as the French Revolution, the rise of Napoleon, and the 9/11 attacks.

Nostradamus was born in 1503 in the town of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence in southern France. He received a medical degree from the University of Montpellier and later became a physician, treating patients during outbreaks of the bubonic plague. In addition to his medical work, Nostradamus was known for his interest in astrology and the occult, which led him to create his predictions for the future.

Despite the mystique surrounding Nostradamus and his prophecies, many of his predictions are vague and lack specificity, leading to multiple interpretations. Some believe that Nostradamus had a gift for seeing into the future, while others view his predictions as nothing more than clever wordplay and superstition. Regardless of one's beliefs, Nostradamus continues to be a topic of fascination and discussion hundreds of years after his death.

Japan’s daring sneak attack in the early hours of December 7th, 1941 on Pearl Harbor led to the deaths of 2403 Americans and over 1000 wounded. The size, scope, and shock of it all catapulted the United States into World War II and forever changed the course of the world. One major question remains unanswered: did President Rooselvelt know the attack was coming and did he let it happen? This conspiracy theory has been debated by politicians and historians since before the fires were even extinguished. Many people say that FDR was looking for a reason to get involved in the war, and this might have been an opportunity too good for him to pass up.

The Rendlesham Forest UFO incident is largely considered to be one of the most documented and observed UFO sightings in history. What took place over several days in December, 1980 is absolutely remarkable. What the military assumed to be some sort of foreign craft turned out to be something more foreign than could ever be imagined. The type of event that normally would be chalked up to an overactive imagination or weather event was not only viewed by military personnel AND radar; it also may have made contact with some of the soldiers.

Much of what we understand in the modern UFO movement can be accredited to a small number of people that were truly pioneers; J Allen Hynek is indeed one of those individuals. Hynek helped to add credibility to and popularize the study of UAPs and the search for extraterrestrial life. And while his traditional upbringing and educational background in astrophysics initially had him dubious, his efforts later in life blazed a trail for the public’s acceptance and understanding of the UFO phenomena. Who was this man and why did he change his mind? Tune in this week to find out!
