Pauline Dakin, author of Run, Hide, Repeat: A Memoir of a Fugitive Childhood, grew up amid sudden moves, secrecy and unexplained fear. Later, she was told her family had been fleeing the mafia under the protection of a covert organisation. Her investigation revealed a very different story. In S6E15 of Strange & Mysterious World, Pauline recounts the trusted minister at the centre of her family's secret world, letters presented as coming from relatives, and the test that finally broke the story apart. We explore trust, manipulation, the expert explanations she sought about delusional disorder, and the lasting cost of believing those closest to us. The hosts also explore possible paranormal interpretations; Pauline offers her own grounded explanation. This is a personal account of family experience, not a clinical diagnosis or medical advice.

Could the Mount Kailash described in ancient Indian texts be a different mountain? Indo-Tibetan historian Alex McKay joins Strange & Mysterious World to explore Mount Kailash, Shiva and his argument that Shri Kailash near the source of the Ganges may hold an overlooked place in this sacred history. Alex recounts his gruelling 1986 pilgrimage through Tibet and the journey that led him into decades of Himalayan research. We explore why Kailash draws pilgrims from different faiths, the legend of Milarepa, the relationship between landscape and spiritual experience, and how stories about sacred places change over time. We also discuss extraordinary claims surrounding Kailash—including rapid ageing and time distortion—and Alex explains why he distinguishes those stories from evidence. His identification of Shri Kailash is presented as a historical argument, not an established conclusion. An interview about faith, endurance and the search for meaning in the sacred Himalayas.

Can Chinese metaphysics help you recognise the right time to act? Estie Mattheus joins Strange & Mysterious World to explore BaZi, Feng Shui and the traditional systems she uses to interpret timing, personal patterns and decision-making. We unpack the five arts of Chinese metaphysics, the five elements, Qi Men Dun Jia and the I Ching. William shares what happened when he tried to time a business proposal—and why a previous Feng Shui consultation left him questioning his home. The conversation also explores Estie’s account of sensing her brother’s presence after his death, the relationship between manifestation and action, and her interpretation of Period 9 and September 2026. Can these traditions offer useful perspective without making us feel that every decision is already determined? This interview explores personal experiences and traditional metaphysical beliefs.

Has Freemasonry lost its deeper teachings—or are they still hidden in plain sight? Author and Freemason Jaime Paul Lamb joins Strange & Mysterious World to explore Masonic symbolism, initiation and the Western esoteric tradition. We discuss Jaime’s understanding of Freemasonry as inner temple building, its connections with Rosicrucianism and Hermetic philosophy, and the alchemical and astrological interpretations of its rituals. Can a tradition preserve knowledge even when those passing it on no longer understand its meaning? The conversation also explores Gnosticism, competing theories about the Knights Templar, and Jaime’s personal journey from philosophical uncertainty to finding purpose through the Craft. Finally, he explains how he translates a natal chart into music performed on a harmonium. Historical theories and metaphysical claims are discussed as the speakers’ interpretations and beliefs, rather than established scientific findings.

Are dragons real? Cryptozoologist Richard Freeman joins Strange & Mysterious World to explore modern dragon sightings, ancient dragon mythology and what witnesses say they encountered. Richard recounts a reported encounter at Waverley Abbey in Surrey and discusses his interviews with five witnesses. From African flying serpents to Asian water dragons, we explore why dragon stories appear across cultures—and whether familiar animals, folklore or something stranger could explain them. The conversation ventures into Richard’s “Global Monster Template” theory, consciousness, tulpas and thought forms, his account of a fairy encounter on Dartmoor, parallels with UFO experiences, and the mysteries surrounding Loch Ness. These are reported experiences, folklore and speculative interpretations, explored through an open-minded conversation.

What if sharks don't just recognize individual humans, but remember who helped them? After more than 30 years working underwater with wild sharks, Cristina Zenato reveals extraordinary encounters that challenge almost everything we've been taught about these animals. In this episode of Strange & Mysterious World, we explore the intelligence, personalities and surprising communication of sharks, including sharks that deliberately approach Cristina, allow her to remove fishing hooks from their bodies, and then behave completely differently toward her afterward. Cristina describes the remarkable story of Foggy Eye, a shark who allowed her to reach inside her mouth and remove a hook and from that day forward began coming to her and resting against her. We also explore: • Whether sharks recognize individual human beings • Why different sharks appear to have completely different personalities • Whether animals communicate with humans beyond spoken language • The experiment involving mentally communicating with sharks • Why fear may completely distort our perception of predators • Why great white sharks can be encountered outside cages — but why Cristina still wouldn't recommend it commercially • How Jaws changed our perception of sharks • Why dolphins and orcas may be far less innocent than popular culture suggests • What nearly five years of accumulated time underwater taught Cristina about human consciousness • Why she says sharks can “strip you raw” and reveal who you really are • What sharks have taught her about fear, prejudice and being human This conversation isn't really just about sharks. It's about intelligence, consciousness, communication — and whether humanity has drastically underestimated the minds of the animals sharing this planet with us.

What if consciousness doesn't just observe reality — but actually participates in creating it?

We also explore terminal lucidity and survival after death, The Telepathy Tapes, meditation and psychic development, synchronicity, Yoga Nidra manifestation, consciousness as the foundation of reality, and Dean's work involving RNA technology that could one day contribute to understanding how human cognition, intuition and even psychic ability might be enhanced.

Can someone describe a place they have NEVER seen using nothing but a random number? In this blind remote viewing experiment, Ryan works through an unknown target live while William and Lee reveal their own sessions afterward. None of them know the destination. Then the target is finally shown, and some of the correspondences are extremely difficult to ignore. Ryan describes a museum-like interior, windows, unusual floors, height, enclosed spaces and descending stairs. William repeatedly receives water, elevation and structures. Lee records a man-made structure, domes and other impressions. Then comes the reveal: a mysterious museum constructed into a sacred mountain in Osh, Kyrgyzstan. Ryan Kralik, managing editor of Aperture, the publication of the International Remote Viewing Association, also discusses his training around members of the Stargate remote viewing community, controlled remote viewing (CRV), monitoring, intuition, operational targets and why experienced remote viewers still question what is happening. Whether you believe remote viewing is psychic perception, unexplained information transfer, coincidence, subconscious pattern recognition or something science hasn't adequately explained yet, watch the experiment from beginning to end and make up your own mind. Could you explain what happened here? Tell us your theory in the comments, and subscribe to Strange & Mysterious World for more experiments into consciousness, psychic phenomena and the unexplained.

What if Satan was never actually in the Garden of Eden? And what if early Christianity contained secret teachings that most Christians were never taught? Professor Elaine Pagels, one of the world's leading historians of early Christianity and author of *The Gnostic Gospels* and *The Origin of Satan*, joins Strange & Mysterious World to explore how the idea of Satan evolved, why the serpent in Genesis was later identified with the Devil, and what the Gospel of Thomas, Gospel of Mary and other lost Christian writings reveal about the earliest followers of Jesus. We explore the historical Jesus, the Roman crucifixion, the Dead Sea Scrolls, Lucifer, the origins of the Devil, Mary Magdalene, Gnosticism, the creation of the New Testament canon, Christianity's mystical traditions and the provocative idea that Jesus may have given different teachings publicly and privately. Pagels also explains why her own personal tragedy led her to investigate the origins of Satan and why decades of historical research ultimately deepened, rather than destroyed, her spiritual search. Watch to the end for her remarkable perspective on what may lie at the heart of Jesus' message.

Scientists exposed cancer cells and mice to a controversial energy-healing method and the reported results challenged everything they expected. Could healing be recorded, stored in water, transmitted through space and replayed after the healer has left the room? In this episode of Strange and Mysterious World, William Collinson and Lee Strydom speak with Margaret Bengston about the extraordinary work of her late husband, William Bengston, creator of the Bengston Method. Margaret reveals how the method began with a mysterious psychic encounter, how researchers tested it using aggressive cancer models, and why later experiments attempted to capture the healing effect digitally. She also discusses reported changes in cancer-cell growth, gene activity, treated water and what researchers call “conditioned space” the possibility that an invisible effect may remain in a location after the people responsible have left. You will discover: • Why the Bengston Method is different from Reiki and traditional manifestation • What reportedly happened when cancer-treated mice received the method • Why researchers attempted to record a silent healing session • How cancer cells allegedly responded to the recording • Why an empty room may have retained a measurable signal • Whether different healing methods produce different signatures • The ongoing attempt to store and scale healing This conversation presents the claims, experiences and research discussed by our guest.

What happens when lucid dreaming becomes something far more real and far more dangerous? Michael Monk claims that nicotine patches can dramatically intensify dreams and increase the chances of becoming lucid. But his most terrifying out-of-body experience began when he tried something even stronger and found himself travelling beyond Earth with no apparent connection to his physical body. In this episode, Michael describes being pulled toward a mysterious golden light, entering what appeared to be a shrine to Christ, watching the figure on the throne transform into a skeleton, and becoming trapped by a dragon-like entity at the edge of the universe. We also explore: • The three alleged levels of out-of-body reality • Whether dreams are private fantasies or shared spiritual realms • Why some people encounter terrifying entities during astral projection • The controversial “light trap” theory surrounding death and reincarnation • Nicotine patches, guayusa tea and lucid-dream experimentation • Precognitive dreams and communication through the I Ching • Whether spiritual experiences can help solve problems in ordinary life This conversation presents Michael’s personal experiences and spiritual interpretations. Claims involving nicotine, galantamine or other substances should not be treated as medical advice. Consult a qualified medical professional before using any substance or medication.

In this episode of Strange & Mysterious World, Lee Strydom and William Collinson examine the latest UFO and UAP releases, including a remarkable historical report describing an occupied unidentified craft landing, an occupant walking outside, and the object departing moments later. They also investigate footage captured over the Middle East, the South China Sea, the Yellow Sea and the eastern United States. Some clips appear to show fast-moving orbs, unusual formations and objects behaving in ways that are difficult to explain. But the biggest question is not what has been released, it is what may still be withheld. If clearer 4K UFO footage allegedly exists, why are governments releasing grainy black-and-white clips? Are these releases genuine attempts at transparency, or could they form part of a gradual “soft disclosure” process designed to prepare the public? Watch until the end and tell us: Are we witnessing disclosure, or another carefully controlled information campaign?

The Shroud of Turin may be the most controversial relic in history — but new claims about 3D imaging, ancient blood, Jerusalem soil, and impossible radiation have brought the mystery roaring back. In this episode, Father Damon joins us to explore whether the Shroud could be evidence of the crucifixion, the resurrection, or something even stranger involving alien DNA, interdimensional beings, and hidden Christian history. Watch until the end — because the conversation goes far beyond religion.
