Apports and Other Anomalous Phenomena with Keith Thompson
New Thinking AllowedOct 26, 2026
Author Keith Thompson joins Jeffrey Mishlove to discuss his book Anomalous Phenomena, which argues that mind and matter are not separate but points on a dynamic spectrum that interact in surprising ways. Starting with the Scole Experiment, where objects such as an 1891 penny and a 1944 newspaper allegedly materialized during seances, Thompson links apports to near-death experiences, stigmata, Navajo Bigfoot cases, and shape-shifting UFOs. He shares his own near-death experience and his mother's deathbed visitation as personal evidence that our scientific maps, not reality, contain the anomalies.

Earth AncientsOct 21, 2026
Journalist Keith Thompson, who introduced Harvard psychiatrist John Mack to the alien abduction phenomenon, discusses his new book 'Anomalous Phenomena: Apports and the Mystery of Objects that Materialize and Translocate.' He describes the Scole Experiment, a five-year series of seances in which coins, a 1944 newspaper, and images on sealed film reportedly appeared from nowhere, along with his own teenage experience of cosmic oneness and a near-death experience while drowning in Hawaii. The conversation ranges across Navajo Rangers investigating Bigfoot and skinwalkers, stigmata, Lourdes healings, Charles Lindbergh's phantom cockpit companions, and the state of UFO disclosure.
The Scole Experiment with Robin Foy (1943 - 2022) (4K Reboot)
New Thinking AllowedOct 14, 2026
Robin Foy, founder of the Scole Experimental Group, describes five years of seances in the cellar of his Norfolk home in which two trance mediums allegedly produced spirit lights, materializations, voices, and images on unopened film. He claims the spirit team was joined by extraterrestrials, including a small blue being and a miniature UFO, and even by Thomas Edison, who supposedly supplied a blueprint for a transdimensional communication device. Foy says the experiment ended in 1998 after time travelers from roughly a century in the future accidentally interfered through the spirit portal.
Simmons 01 Alchemy 4K Reboot
New Thinking AllowedAug 24, 2026
Gem dealer and author Robert Simmons tells psychologist Jeffrey Mishlove how a meditation with Moldavite, a green glass formed by a meteor impact, opened his chakras and turned him from a skeptic into a believer in stone energies. He links this to Jungian spiritual alchemy, the Emerald Tablet, the Holy Grail legend, and panpsychism. He also recounts a story in which a channeled angelic group called the Azez reportedly borrowed his missing phenakite stone and returned it, along with a new stone called Azeztulite.
Unveiling Hidden Realities with Christopher Noël (4K Reboot)
New Thinking AllowedAug 23, 2026
Author and Sasquatch researcher Christopher Noël argues that there is no real veil between the living and the dead, and that spirit and ordinary matter occupy the same space. Drawing on a teenage Ouija board encounter with a ghost named John Waite, he proposes that dark matter may be the long-sought 'spirit stuff', and perhaps the substance of consciousness itself. He uses this idea to explain cold spots, apports, table levitation, and spirit voices as shifts in the ratio between visible and invisible matter.
