Jean shares her journey into exploring energy work and the unseen world, including the experiences that led her down a path far outside the structured, technical world she once knew. From mysterious sensations and strange encounters to the challenges of balancing a scientific and medical mindset with experiences that don't always fit neatly into a box, Jean opens up about what happens when the weird starts demanding your attention.

Along the way, the conversation wanders through healing, migraines, energy, retirement, books, conferences, and the importance of finding people you can actually talk to when your life starts getting a little... strange.

So turn down the lights, keep an open mind, and settle in for another trip into the unknown. You never know where the conversation might lead or what might be waiting just outside the edges of what we think we understand.

Linda shares the story of her own early paranormal experiences, including growing up in a haunted house, and how those frightening encounters eventually led her toward Reiki, energy work, spirit attachments, and helping others navigate experiences that can be difficult to explain.

The conversation takes some seriously strange turns as Linda discusses spirit attachments, house clearings, psychic attacks, shadow people, "walk-ins," and the difference between something frightening and something truly dangerous. She also explains why she believes fear can attract lower energies, why she approaches spirits as people rather than monsters, and why she thinks experiencers need somewhere they can tell their stories without immediately being dismissed.

And because this is Strange Talk, we couldn't leave the extraterrestrials out of it. Linda talks about her work with people who report ET experiences, her interest in the occupants rather than just mysterious lights in the sky, and her belief that some experiencers may be encountering something far stranger than a UFO overhead.
From haunted houses to Reiki, from earthbound spirits to alien encounters, this is a conversation about what happens when the things we call impossible become somebody's everyday reality.

The truth is out there, and sometimes, it walks right through the front door.

After catching just a few minutes with him at the Dayton UFO Conference, Alyx and Ginelle get a full hour with Wright-Patterson veteran, UFO researcher, author, and professional keeper-of-strange-stories: Ray Szymanski, and there is a lot to unpack.

Ray takes us deep into the infamous 1966 Michigan UFO flap, from the hundreds of reports filed by police officers and civilians to the Dexter and Hillsdale sightings that ultimately produced one of ufology’s most enduring explanations: swamp gas. But Ray’s decades of research have taken him far beyond the familiar version of the story. He tracked down eyewitnesses, revisited the original locations, collected never-before-seen video testimony, and uncovered new connections surrounding the case, including a series of witnesses whose stories appear to corroborate one another.

Then we head back to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, where Ray recounts the strange stories he heard shortly after arriving there in 1973 (just a few years after Project Blue Book closed) and how those rumors eventually sent him down decades of UFO research. Along the way, we hear about his field investigations, his time with Travis Walton, and the accidental journey that turned years of research into his trilogy of books.

And because one hour with Ray is apparently still not enough, we get into his upcoming presentations, unpublished stories, bizarre adventures in the field, Stanton Friedman stories, and what might happen if Ray ever decides that three books simply aren't enough.

So turn down the lights, turn up the radio, and settle in. This is Strange Talk, and tonight, we're going deep down the UFO rabbit hole with Ray Szymanski.

Then, legendary Roswell investigator Donald Schmitt joins us to discuss the case that refuses to die and what the future of UFO disclosure may still have in store.
But between those conversations, the phone begins to ring.
Throughout the night, visitors stepped inside the Strange Talk Listener Line Phone Booth to leave behind their own encounters with the unknown. Mysterious lights over Ohio. Silent craft that vanished without a trace. Shadowy visitors. Impossible beings. Encounters that have lingered for decades, waiting for someone willing to listen.

These creatures are depicted sharing a slice of pizza at Milano's, a local WV restaurant.
Next, we travel to Taiwan, where an arrest has been made in a bizarre case involving two men who dressed up as a vengeful demon to terrorize unsuspecting townsfolk like Scooby Doo villains. Delve into the disturbing details of this ghastly stunt, and explore the cultural significance of Ghost Month in the region. Could this be a prank gone too far, or is something more sinister at play?Finally, we venture to Pennsylvania, where an archaic law concerning fortune telling has sparked a contentious court case.
