Alien Abductions Part 2: Inside the Experience
In Part One, we examined the cases that helped establish the modern alien-abduction phenomenon. Now, the investigation turns inward. In Part Two: Inside the Experience, Sandman explores what could cause an abduction experience without a person being physically taken by extraterrestrial beings. Could some accounts be deliberate hoaxes or stories that became more elaborate over time? Can hypnosis uncover a hidden memory—or unintentionally create one? How closely do bedroom abductions resemble sleep paralysis, and how much has popular culture influenced the beings, examinations, and spacecraft people remember? This episode also examines whether several people can genuinely share a hallucination, how witnesses can influence one another’s memories, and why sincere belief does not necessarily establish that an event occurred exactly as remembered. The answer may not be real, hoax, or hallucination. Different cases may have entirely different causes—and some may remain unexplained. This is Alien Abductions: Real, Hoax, or Shared Hallucinations?

Alien Abductions Part 1: Taken
Thousands of people claim to have been taken by beings from somewhere beyond our world—but what evidence suggests that alien abductions are physical events rather than dreams, hallucinations, false memories, or carefully constructed hoaxes? In Part One of this two-part investigation, Sandman examines the cases that helped define the modern alien-abduction phenomenon. From Antônio Villas Boas and Betty and Barney Hill to the Pascagoula encounter, the Allagash incident, and the mysterious five-day disappearance of Travis Walton, each case presents its own combination of unusual testimony, missing time, multiple witnesses, disputed evidence, and unanswered questions. Are the similarities between these accounts evidence of a genuine phenomenon, or have decades of media coverage and cultural influence created a recognizable abduction narrative? Do alleged scars, implants, polygraph results, and witness reactions provide physical evidence—or only deepen the mystery? This is Part One: Taken. Turn On, Tune In, & Find Out!

In this Flashback episode, we return to the early days of ParaReality to explore the idea of psychic vampires: people believed to feed on the energy of others rather than their blood. What might it feel like to encounter one? Could someone take your energy without you knowing it, or are there more familiar explanations for that exhausted feeling?

Maitreya Returns: The Masters and the UFO Connection
What if the UFO phenomenon is connected to something far greater than extraterrestrial visitation? In this episode of ParaReality, Sandman and Eric welcome Sabina Qureshi, a longtime student of the Ageless Wisdom teachings, to explore the predicted reappearance of Maitreya and the Masters of Wisdom. According to the teachings presented by the late British esotericist Benjamin Creme, Maitreya is the World Teacher for all humanity, and his emergence could mark the beginning of a new era based upon sharing, justice, cooperation, and peace. But where do UFOs fit into this extraordinary story? Sabina discusses the beings known as the Space Brothers and Sisters, their alleged spiritual mission on Earth, their reported presence near nuclear facilities and disaster sites, and the claim that they operate on normally invisible levels of matter known as the etheric planes. The conversation also examines humanity’s transition into the Age of Aquarius, the future Technology of Light, and why advanced beings may assist us without interfering with our free will. Are we witnessing civilization’s decline—or the difficult birth of a new age? Turn On, Tune In, & Find Out! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Energy Behind the Haunting: Kent Wilson’s Resonance Theory
What if haunted locations do more than hold memories? What if they store and amplify energy? On this episode of ParaReality, Sandman sits down with veteran paranormal investigator Kent M. Wilson, founder and lead investigator of KenTenn Paranormal and host of the Paranormal Addicts Podcast. Drawing from more than three decades and hundreds of investigations, Kent discusses mediumship, demonology, paranormal evidence, and his Resonance Energy Theory—an attempt to explain how emotion, consciousness, environmental conditions, and energetic frequencies may influence unexplained activity. Kent also takes us behind the scenes of the annual West Kentucky Paranormal Expo in Mayfield, Kentucky, where Sandman will be appearing as a featured presenter on September 26.
