Across the UK, across continental North America and around the world, on the internet, by

webcast and by podcast, my name is Howard Hughes and this is The Unexplained.

While we're heading headlong towards the end of 2013, we have this show to do and probably

one more and that'll be that for this year. And we have great plans for 2014. The exciting

thing actually about the last show of the year is that I don't yet have a plan for who

I'll be talking to. So if you have any thoughts about who you'd like me to get on here,

maybe we can do it. Otherwise, I'm going to have to plan really quickly and I'm going

to try and make it a really good one for the end of 2013. And we do have a lot of plans

in the pipeline for developing this show during 2014, but more about that coming soon.

This edition, we're going to take a complete walk on the wild side and I'm doing this with

almost no preparation at all. But it's just because of this feeling that I've had that

we don't get nearly enough guests from the Southern Hemisphere on here. So I want to get

in this new year more fascinating people from places like New Zealand and Australia

and South Africa on the show. Anybody from the Philippines out there who's interested

in coming on or wherever you are, if you're in Japan or China, let's see if we can spread

this net further. I know you're listening in those places so there must be people doing

research that perhaps the world would like to hear. This time round, we're going to talk

to a man who is a kind of Mr Paranormal in Australia and his name is Ashley Hall and he's

been interested in the paranormal for many years. He's done research, director of search

on UFOs and ghosts and various other topics and I just thought it would be quite good to get

this guy and Adelaide on this show. So it's going to be Ashley Hall this time round.
