Our Editor's Take

There is one undeniable fact about the podcast Mysterious Universe. This fact is that the two hosts of the show are receptive to different opinions and ideas. There is never a theory, hypothesis, or unpopular opinion that the pair come across and immediately rule out. They always like to learn as much as possible about a subject before deciding whether to believe it. They ask questions without judgment. They probe from a place of curiosity, not negativity. But that is the one accurate, objective truth that the podcast has. The rest of the show, whether it's stories about Bigfoot or human mutilation, is pure speculation. There is no scientific research backing that up. But that's part of the fun of this podcast.

Aussies Benjamin Grundy and Aaron Wright have been exploring the unknown since 2006. Even after hundreds of podcast episodes, the pair still finds bizarre phenomena. Some episodes revolve around unconventional medical practices, like Reiki and energy healing. Others, like "The Enchanted Zone," are about past lives and reincarnations. There is so much in this world that is impossible to explain. The hosts of Mysterious Universe make it their mission to discover more about it.

In each podcast episode, Grundy and Wright try to talk to as many experts on a topic as possible. They interview authors and research their works. They also search for people who can share personal experiences on Mysterious Universe. Those range from UFO sightings to sleep paralysis or past-life memories. They both believe that humans will forever have an inadequate understanding of themselves. They think they will always fall short in their understanding of the truth in some way.

Mysterious Universe is here to help listeners expand their beliefs. The podcast shows them there's more to their lives than what they may see and may even bring a little magic back.

31.16 - MU Podcast - The Great Crop Circle Hoax
Crop circles is a subject of heated debate among both paranormal enthusiasts and scientists. However, there might be deeper, more profound explanations lurking within our collective human experiences that could shed light on this mystery. Some individuals who admit to creating these hoaxes report experiencing strange occurrences, suggesting that a mysterious force influences them to make these designs. We dive into these accounts to explore the possibility that a paranormal intelligence could be linked to various phenomena associated with crop circles, including mysterious creatures, orbs of light, time distortions, and more. For our Plus+ members, we explore the writings of a Japanese equivalent to John Keel, featuring encounters with serpentine women, airborne mountain men, and the bizarre technologies of a lost civilization.

Psychic phenomena permeates many aspects of our lives; however, for some reason, it is especially apparent in crime. Whether it's heightened emotions or human energy fueling tense events coupled with violence and revenge, the strange and unexplained is never far from these occurrences. We discuss some of these unusual happenings in the context of crimes being solved from beyond the grave, dowsing for missing persons, using psychometry to find money, and much more.

Throughout the world, across numerous cultures, elongated skulls have been revered. Whether it's a small isolated island in the middle of the Pacific or an ancient culture, the practice of elongating skulls is as mystifying as it is unexplained. The practice has led some to speculate that it was done to enhance consciousness and psychic abilities. For the very same reason, trepanning has been conducted from Neolithic times to the modern day. We explore this strange practice and hear reports of people who have attempted to alter their consciousness by drilling holes in their heads. Sometimes with incredible improvements, though usually the person ends up in a love affair with a pigeon. Listen to find out more. Then, for our Plus+ Members, we take a look at a new angle on Bigfoot encounters and consider how they are more similar to poltergeist encounters than you might think. Is it possible that Bigfoot is being mimicked by some other unknown force?

An unassuming and hardworking woman arrived in Brasília in 1957 to contribute to the construction of the new capital city. Yet, within two decades, she had established a spiritual metropolis that serves as the headquarters of a global spiritual movement. We explore the life of this mysterious woman and learn about the practices of the "Valley of the Dawn" faith. Often dismissed as a cult, they could be considered the Brazilian equivalent of Unarius, adorned in peculiar bright clothing and holding alien beliefs. However, there appears to be something otherworldly truly unfolding within this group and its members. In our Plus+ extension, we discuss the experiences of Australian psychonauts and the extraordinary encounters they've had with ethereal beings. Are these entities benevolent or malevolent?

Why do we possess the traits we do? Why do we look and act the way we do? Is genetics the answer? The entire concept of genes explaining who and why we are didn't hold as well as it once had. There has to be something else, and that something else might be akin to the theories of morphic fields proposed by the groundbreaking scientist Rupert Sheldrake. We discuss concepts such as presentiment, extraordinary knowledge, telepathy, and much more as we delve into the strangest aspects of morphic fields and consider how they may address some of the questions about what it means to be a human being.

We discuss the controversial and intriguing concept of astrophysiognomy, and consider whether your "nakshatras" truly influence your physical characteristics.

With its breathtaking landscapes, you'd be forgiven for thinking that nothing in the realms of strange phenomena could lurk below the wilds of Chile. However, according to one researcher, UFOs, dimensional gateways, electric humanoids, and much more inhabit this land. We explore some of these strange stories and consider extraordinary reports of teleporting fogs, adventures to hidden islands, and military encounters with the unknown.

In a very real sense, the science industry has become less about discovery and more about compliance with the statutory. Of course, not all quack theories should be entertained, but are we in danger of dismissing revolutionary concepts? On this episode, we discuss the controversial theory of "Wave genetics," which is a theoretical approach to understanding genetic information transfer. It suggests that genetic material can be influenced and manipulated by electromagnetic waves, and that the structural arrangement of DNA can be altered through resonance effects, potentially leading to novel therapeutic applications and advancements in genetic engineering. Then, for our Plus+ members, we explore the more subtle and niche elements of the UFO phenomenon and consider reports of UFO mining and energy capture from power stations.

With the recent explosive whistleblower testimony regarding the government's knowledge of UFOs, crashed craft, and ET interactions, you could be forgiven for thinking that the decades-long agenda of cover-up and secrecy is finally coming to an end. However, it's possible that nothing could be further from the truth, especially if extraterrestrial intelligence itself is responsible for the cover-up. On this episode, we consider reports from alleged abductees and leading researchers who claim that an alien infiltration of humanity is well underway and has been so for more than a century. We hear stories of alien hybrid security enforcers, mind control, and more. Then, for our Plus+ members, we take an in-depth look into the hotly anticipated Fairy Census 2!
