In The Odyssey, there’s a monstrous giant with one eye nobody today considers could have been real. But… could a creature survive with just one eye or one leg, and enormous proportions? Maybe so. What did Marco Polo really encounter on his journeys through all of Asia? He reported seeing fearsome cryptids and bizarre creatures with his own eyes, just like Odysseus. Some of the greatest explorers, mapmakers, and chroniclers in history documented things too amazing for most to consider possible today. In this episode, Rob and John dive into that map’s monopods, Blemmyes, mandrakes, giants, and a beast so foul it would unleash hellfire on anyone who met it—literally. Join investigative researcher Rob Counts and remote viewer John Vivanco for a Metaphysical show that’s out of this world. In this episode: monopods, sciapods, bird-headed creatures, griffins, mermaids, mystery creatures, Dogmen, mandrakes, conscious plants, the Blemmyes, weird creatures, the bonnacon, what Marco Polo saw, remote viewing data from John Vivanco, mythology, legends, and more metaphysical history

There’s a mysterious, medieval map full of cryptids, creatures, and legends left over from ancient civilizations. Visit https://themetaphysical.tv for uncensored After Hours episodes, exclusive content, and access to a library of 1,000+ mind-expanding videos on hidden history, forbidden knowledge, and otherworldly topics! The largest medieval map still known to exist is the Hereford Map, tucked away in a cathedral in England—and it shows mysterious creatures, historical events, and legends that aren’t supposed to be real. The Hereford Map was made during the same time period as the height of the Tartarian empire, when Marco Polo was traveling across Asia encountering his own strange beasts. So we had to know more. When we dived into exactly how maps and stories from history got passed down, … culture’s effects on our historical records, … and the difference between record keeping in the past and today, … it showed a much stranger picture of our past than the history books say. If you like bizarre maps showing the most absurd look at creation known to man, this episode is for you. Join me, investigative researcher Rob Counts and remote viewer John Vivanco for a Metaphysical show that’s out of this world.

Can a human mind be programmed and infiltrated like a virus? Visit https://themetaphysical.tv for uncensored After Hours episodes, exclusive content, and access to a library of 1,000+ mind-expanding videos on hidden history, forbidden knowledge, and otherworldly topics! Countries around the world are developing hijacking software and electronic mind control methods—and they’re using secret operations to do it. In an attempt to access your inner world, algorithms and social media aren’t just a social contagion anymore, but the latest step in a rollout of behavior modification strategies with your mind as the target. What are your tax dollars really funding? And what’s inside technology you’re using every day that you have no idea is there? Most can only imagine what’s really lying beneath the surface of some of these algorithms. What we know about is probably the tip of a massive iceberg. Join investigative researcher Rob Counts and remote viewer John Vivanco for a Metaphysical discussion about technology.

What if extreme cat addiction were caused by a parasite that could change your behavior? Visit https://themetaphysical.tv for uncensored After Hours episodes, exclusive content, and access to a library of 1,000+ mind-expanding videos on hidden history, forbidden knowledge, and otherworldly topics! Cats with the Toxoplasma gondii parasite have been known to infect humans. Aggressive behavior sometimes follows. Some have no idea what’s happening to them when their love of cats suddenly gets out of control. Shockingly, others seek out the parasite on purpose. Could this be reflective of larger changes in our society that nobody has noticed? Investigative researcher Rob Counts and remote viewer John Vivanco dive into the scary world of crazy cat ladies and toxoplasmosis.

The Battle of Shiloh was one of the bloodiest battles of the American Civil War. But what happened there doesn’t fit neatly inside a history book. Visit https://themetaphysical.tv for uncensored After Hours episodes, exclusive content, and access to a library of 1,000+ mind-expanding videos on hidden history, forbidden knowledge, and otherworldly topics! On a cold, rain-soaked battlefield in 1862, tens of thousands of wounded soldiers lied in the mud waiting for help that might never come. Infection was almost a death sentence. The odds of survival were brutal. Yet, something happened that no one expected. Soldiers’ wounds began to glow—not metaphorically, but actually glowing. A strange, blue-green light appeared on injured soldiers across the battlefield. The men whose wounds glowed were statistically more likely to survive. The phenomenon became known as the “angel’s glow.” Now, here’s the uncomfortable part. For decades, the story has been dismissed as a myth, or religious exaggeration, battlefield folklore for desperate men who needed hope. After all, the official model of reality doesn’t allow for the paranormal, like angels on a battlefield. However, what if that dismissal tells us more about reality itself than about the event? Metaphysical examines what really happened at Shiloh, not just historically, but metaphysically. Was it divine intervention? A natural anomaly? Biological? Or something more interesting—something that reveals how extreme conditions alter the rules we think we understand? Join investigative researcher Rob Counts and remote viewer John Vivanco for a Metaphysical episode that’s out of this world. In this episode: a paranormal glow, supernatural events, angels and miracles, hauntings, biological events vs. spiritual ones, amazing intuition of birds, ancient medical accounts, medical miracles, spirit guides, angelic presences, and more

Military and political leaders have reportedly burst into tears when they found out the truth about aliens and UFOs. Visit https://themetaphysical.tv for uncensored After Hours episodes, exclusive content, and access to a library of 1,000+ mind-expanding videos on hidden history, forbidden knowledge, and otherworldly topics! In the last episode, Metaphysical dived into that history. Now, though, a huge question remains: what did they learn that was so earth shattering, it would cause such an extreme reaction? John Vivanco shares his personal disclosure experience that he’s never shared before—because it’s extremely relevant and even bizarre. Then, investigative researcher Rob Counts and professional remote viewer John dive into the RV data about what these governmental men discovered. Want to hear all about it? Join Rob and John for a Metaphysical show that’s out of this world. In this episode: astrology and unseen influences, the alignment of planets, alien abductions, alien and extraterrestrial encounters, and discussions about how people would react to UFO and UAP disclosure

If the government could confirm that aliens not only exist, but that they’ve been in direct communication with humans for decades, would you want to know? Visit https://themetaphysical.tv for uncensored After Hours episodes, exclusive content, and access to a library of 1,000+ mind-expanding videos on hidden history, forbidden knowledge, and otherworldly topics! For years, rumors have quietly circulated that military and political officials who were told the truth discovered something so shocking that it completely shattered them, even reducing multiple hardened men to tears. But why? There’s something deeper going on with alien disclosure that starts unraveling more information about activity that’s Stranger Things-level bizarre. Allegedly, it could create mass chaos if people found out. From the Brookings Report and UFO coverups to President Carter’s disclosure moment and US representatives corroborating reports themselves, it makes you wonder: What’s going on that’s so crazy, it could make grown men cry? Join investigative researcher Rob Counts and professional remote viewer John VIvanco for a Metaphysical show that’s out of this world. In this episode: alien hybrid breeding programs, UFO reports, official government disclosure, aliens and extraterrestrial encounters, and more

Allan Sturm is an expert photo analyst—specifically, of images of the moon. Allan’s incredible visual data has drawn the attention of servicemen, professionals in photography, and space enthusiasts alike because his military-level photo analysis techniques have revealed strange shapes and structures in aerial photos of the moon. Past conversations on Metaphysical in Parts 1 and 2 dived into Allan’s background and talked about how to evaluate moon images for yourself. But this episode will be unique. For the first fifteen minutes or so, Allan shows a live photo breakdown where he points out specific areas of interest in a photo and shows us the level of detail you can get into when viewing moon images. After that, dive into Rob and John’s live reactions, some questions they have for Allan, and finally, a discussion on whether these are intelligently designed structures or not—including one image that John’s team remote viewed. Are these structures on the moon millions of years old? Join investigative researcher Rob Counts and professional remote viewer John Vivanco for a Metaphysical show that’s out of this world.

Allan Sturm has uncovered structures on the moon’s surface: shapes and images that seem to imply artificial construction. Allan is the first person to take photo analysis techniques that covert military groups use to find terrorist compounds, and apply those techniques to photos of the moon. Servicemen have been floored at the accuracy of Allan’s data scrutiny. However, while we might call them evidence of extraterrestrial activity, Allan is more interested in pointing out the details of the data than interpreting it. Let’s see what YOU think. In this episode, Allan shows us his photos of the moon’s surface, how he analyzes them, and the technical information that most people don’t have when they see strange images of the moon’s surface. Join investigative researcher Rob Counts and remote viewer John Vivanco in Part 2 as they interview professional photo analyst and author Allan Sturm.

Why are Bigfoot suddenly on the move in Ohio? In early 2026, thousands of people across Ohio reported so many sightings of a strange creature—sparking everything from panic to prophecies—that it led both skeptics and believers to question what’s really going on. Why so many sightings now?  This strange, bipedal being has actually been spotted throughout Ohio over the years. Nobody knows who or what it exactly is, and why they seem to appear and disappear out of nowhere. All most people know is that the descriptions match up with ones of Bigfoot from around the world: large, hairy, territorial. Structures have been spotted in their alleged territory, like fully grown trees completely uprooted and then stuck back into the ground upside down. But what kind of creature could do that with their bare hands? A lot of people dismiss sightings of Bigfoot just because of its name. Something that’s supposed to be folklore is hard to believe even when presented with evidence. But sometimes, the evidence is impossible to ignore. In this Metaphysical episode, Rob and John dive into the research and remote viewing data that can answer that question the way no one else can.  Join investigative researcher Rob Counts and remote viewer John Vivanco for a Metaphysical show that’s out of this world. Ohio may just be a breeding ground for strange cryptid activity.

Something is on the moon. What one photo analyst discovered changed everything. For years, people have claimed to see buildings, objects, and even living things on the moon’s surface. As skeptics have pointed out, though, it’s impossible to tell from these viral images alone that there really are structures there—when they could just be grey blobs. Covert teams in combat situations are tasked with combing over blurry aerial photos with military precision. They’re trained to quickly identify visual information you and I can’t: the corner of a structure; a manmade object; or something hiding a terrorist compound, secret base, and other things hidden to those who don’t have the eyes to see. What if those same photo analysis techniques could be applied to images of the moon? That’s where Allan Sturm changed everything. As a civilian hobbyist and expert photo editor, he spent thousands and thousands of hours analyzing moon photos. In the process, he developed specific techniques that left these military men astonished when they saw what he was doing—because it allowed him to identify spatial relationships between objects the way they did, and generate real data about what’s on the lunar surface. Allan’s knowledge of camera technology and photo editing is mindblowing as he explains how to look at moon photos. This may be some of the most amazing technical information Metaphysical has ever dived into, way beyond any sensational conversation about clickbait moon images.

There’s a face carved in the earth that you were never meant to see. Visit https://themetaphysical.tv for uncensored After Hours episodes, exclusive content, and access to a library of 1,000+ mind-expanding videos on hidden history, forbidden knowledge, and otherworldly topics! What if one of the most mysterious, ancient images on the planet was never known to most people because it wasn’t meant to be seen from the ground? Hidden in the Badlands near Medicine Hat in Alberta, Canada, there’s something you can’t find by hiking, driving, or exploring on foot. You can only see it from the sky. In 2005 while exploring Google Earth, a 53-year-old woman stumbled across something that stopped her in her tracks: a clearly defined human face etched into the clay rock landscape, a Native person with distinct features and what appears to be a feathered headdress. Today, it’s known as the Badlands Guardian. And here’s where it gets unsettling. If this image is truly ancient, as it’s believed to be, then it shouldn’t exist. The Blackfoot tribe historically living in the area had no known technology capable of carving something this massive, this precise, and this three-dimensional. It’s not Mt. Rushmore in the side of a mountain. It’s far older and more subtle, visible only from above. How did it get there? Is the Badlands Guardian a natural formation (pareidolia), or was it deliberately created? If it was created, then who made it and who was it meant to be seen by? Most importantly, why does it resemble a human figure so clearly that some say it borders on the impossible? This may be one of the most interesting cases of human pattern recognition ever recorded, something between incredible evidence of lost knowledge, ancient wisdom, and something spiritual all in one. Today on Metaphysical, take this mystery further than anyone else ever has. Dive in with investigative researcher Rob Counts and professional remote viewer John Vivanco for a show that’s out of this world.

The United States, Denmark, Silicon Valley billionaires, and possibly aliens are fighting for control of Greenland. Visit https://themetaphysical.tv for uncensored After Hours episodes, exclusive content, and access to a library of 1,000+ mind-expanding videos on hidden history, forbidden knowledge, and otherworldly topics! Not only has a long-lost military base been found beneath Greenland’s ice that’s been hidden for more than 60 years, but mysterious objects are also being filmed on camera streaking over Greenland at speeds that should be impossible for any known aircraft today. Greenland is a vital strategic location for military defense, it has copious amounts of rare-earth minerals, and even more secrets may lie buried in the ice that none of us were ever supposed to hear about. In this episode of Metaphysical, investigative researcher Rob Counts and professional remote viewer John Vivanco dive into the anomalies that just might explain why everyone wants a piece of Greenland so badly. If what the remote viewing data says is true, too, the implications could be world changing. Join Rob and John Vivanco for a Metaphysical show that’s out of this world.

Hidden deep in Sri Lanka is a mysterious, stone carving known as the Sakwala Chakraya—and nobody can fully explain what it is. Visit https://themetaphysical.tv for uncensored After Hours episodes, exclusive content, and access to a library of 1,000+ mind-expanding videos on hidden history, forbidden knowledge, and otherworldly topics! Archaeologists don’t know when the carving was made. Historians don’t know who created it. Even local monks don’t claim to know its true purpose. Some believe it’s a map of the universe. Others believe it may represent cosmic cycles. Some researchers think it could be something far stranger, an ancient portal or gateway. In this episode, Rob and John investigate: • the history of the site • the strange symbols and geometric structure • the theories archaeologists struggle to explain • John Vivanco’s remote viewing data on what may exist beyond the “stargate” • The “Alien Mountain” Is the Sakwala Chakraya just symbolic art, or evidence of something far more advanced? Join investigative researcher Rob Counts and remote viewer John Vivanco as they examine one of the strangest carvings ever discovered.

Bob Monroe discovered out-of-body experiences. Visit https://themetaphysical.tv for uncensored After Hours episodes, exclusive content, and access to a library of 1,000+ mind-expanding videos on hidden history, forbidden knowledge, and otherworldly topics! Bob Monroe was a pioneer in the fields of out-of-body experiences, dreams, and accessing other dimensions via the mind.  Monroe seemed to crack the code on how to peek into those dimensions where your soul actually came from. In fact, using binaural beats and studying these things, he quickly drew the attention of the CIA, who was interested in The Monroe Institute’s findings and studied his remote viewing discoveries for decades. From old interviews and articles Rob stumbled on to the CIA’s Gateway Process ripped right from Monroe’s research, plus John’s remote viewing data into other realms and otherworldly beings, there’s a lot to uncover.
