The Aftermath of Alien Contact | Do Abductions Open a Door to the Paranormal?
Published 1 month, 1 week ago
Description
The abduction ends. But for many alien contactees, that's when the real strangeness begins — objects moving on their own, electronics going haywire, and psychic abilities they never asked for.
IN THIS EPISODE: Some say she was an old hag, while others say she was a polite and beautiful old woman. But townsfolk were terrified of her either way, because everyone knew Moll Dyer was a witch. Whether she was or not, what transpired around her and to her has caused something of the paranormal. (Moll Dyer Was a Witch) *** Hollywood actress Mary Astor was the flame that began a firestorm sex scandal… a story so hot that it made front page headlines. (The Purple Diary Scandal) *** A night watchman gets into a fistfight with a ghost! (Phantom Fistfight) *** The murder of Rose Ambler has gone unsolved for well over a hundred years. No one alive at the time is alive today, but still, for law some in law enforcement in Connecticut, as well as amateur and professional detectives alike, it’s a case that keep drawing them back. (Murder at Raven Stream) *** What do alien abductions, poltergeists, and holistic healing have in common? You might be surprised to see how they are connected. (Aliens, Ghosts, and Holistic Healing)
