From the Archives featuring David Weatherly
Expanded PerspectivesAug 7, 2026
Paranormal researcher David Weatherly, author of Black Eyed Children and Strange Intruders, explores the idea that strange entities may intrude into our world from another level of existence, and that human belief itself might help create them. He discusses the Philip experiment, the possibly invented ghost of Chloe at the Myrtles Plantation, and the Slender Man as examples of tulpas, or thought-forms brought to life by collective focus. He also recounts his own 1980s encounter with a 'grinning man' in North Carolina, warns about jinn attaching to souvenirs that soldiers bring home from the Middle East, and describes Pukwudgies and 'portal areas' like the Bridgewater Triangle.
