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 Return of the Unexplained.

Well, thank you very much for bearing with me. The reason there haven't been new shows

for the last couple of weeks I will explain in just a moment and thank you to Adam at

Creative Hotspot also, my webmaster, for bearing with me during this period.

I'm going to do some of your shout outs very, very soon. I can't get round to everybody

because this would take about an hour or so, but I'm going to do as many as I possibly can.

And thank you very much for emailing, especially if you've emailed recently to ask exactly where am I

or will be clear. On this show, we're going to take a bit of a walk on the wild side. A guest

who's been on American radio quite a bit, somebody who contacted me a couple of weeks ago and

recommended that I put him on this show and we reached a worldwide and European audience as

well as our US and Canadian audience, which I think is a great idea. His name, well he's known by

the name of Dark Waters and he is a gatherer of interpreter, of and teller of paranormal stories.

He's based in New Orleans. I don't know his real name, he's a little bit like the lone ranger,

he rides into town and then people shout after him. Who was that mess man?

Dark Waters, I think you're going to enjoy him. I haven't prepared anything for this show,

so who knows which way it's going to go. So that's what's coming up. The reason I haven't been here,

I alluded before Christmas to the fact that I've had an ongoing health issue, which has taken me

to hospital a couple of times for various tests. It's been five and a half months of it.

As I say, it's ongoing. Thank you for your good thoughts, but it stopped me working a week ago

and there in lies a very long story, but I just wanted to explain to you and thank you very much,

of course, when I can't work, it means I'm not earning any money and that starts to be even more
