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.

Well, I hope that you're bearing up in the Northern Hemisphere. We've had the big freeze and as I'm recording these words, we are still in the grip of it.

Here in the United Kingdom, temperatures in some places, overnight, recently have been as low as minus 13 degrees Celsius or centigrade depending on how you want to put it.

In the neck of the woods that I live near London, it's been down to as deep and cold as minus six and there's more of this to come and then apparently closer to Christmas, the temperatures increase and the weather gets a little bit better.

And all I can say is I sit here with a scar in my flat with a scar around my neck, a little zip up coat on indoors.

As I'm recording this, I just hope that the temperature improves very significantly very soon because I'm only, I don't know what you're doing, but I think most of us are doing this.

I'm only putting the heating on when I need to and lately there have been days and nights where I've had to put it on, but I'm trying to control it as much as I can because of the prices.

You've got to have a G, unless you're a millionaire.

What else can you do? Now as I'm looking at the window now, I am seeing a very gray, wintery scene.

It kind of looks like it could snow and it's not getting dark yet, but it's dusky. Looks like it could snow at any moment. So there's a little snapshot, a little picture of the weather here in London.

If you're in the southern hemisphere where it's as sunny as anything in some places, it's going to sound like I'm not thousands of miles away, but probably millions of miles away.

But that's what we're going through right now.

Thank you very much Adam. My webmaster here has continued hard work on getting the unexplained out to you and maintaining the website, the unexplained.tv.

If you need to email me, you can do that through the website by following the email link there.

And I get to see and read all of the emails. Thank you for those if your email specifically requires a response.

Please let me know if you've made a donation during 2022 to the unexplained.

I'd like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for that. It allows all of this to keep going. I didn't want this to be a great big razzle dazzle commercial operation.

I wanted it to be personal and intimate because I think that's one of its strengths. I don't always get it right. Not at all.

But at least I still have control over this part of it. And that is something that's very important to me. I made it.

And whatever it is, whether it's good, bad or indifferent, that's down to me. And to you for listening to it. More than anything else. Thank you very much.

And there's still plenty of 2022 still to go. So more shows still to come. And then I'm going to do some planning for 2023 and see how I can tweak things.

Now this is going to be a very different edition of the unexplained. And I'll tell you exactly why. Around about two months now, six weeks, whatever time just flies now. But around about that long ago, I did a TV interview for the TV show with Ros Morris, a BBC reporter at the time who was involved in the Enfield Poltergeist case.
