Summary

A chilling pattern runs through centuries of human contact with beings that straddle the line between alien and spirit. On this episode, we explore strange abductions, parasitic intelligences, and the disturbing theme of energy vampirism that surfaces across Eastern lore and modern UFO accounts. From the luminous visitors of ancient skies to entities that drain vitality and manipulate human perception, we uncover how these encounters reveal an enduring presence, one that feeds on fear, thrives in shadow, and may be far older than we dare to imagine. Then for our Plus+ members, we venture into dark and eerie cemeteries and hear stories of encounters with all kinds of strange supernatural beings, asking the question: is the thrill of a potential scare worth encountering one of these otherworldly guardians?
