Somewhere in the SkiesOct 16, 2026

In 1996, Texas journalist Brian Bethel was approached in a movie theater parking lot in Abilene by two boys with completely black eyes who repeatedly asked to be let into his car. His written account, shared on a ghost-story email list and the Usenet group alt.folklore.ghoststories in 1997, went viral and launched the worldwide Black-Eyed Kids phenomenon. Bethel recounts the encounter in detail, answers skeptics, and reflects on what these beings might be and why they need to be invited in.

When the Veil Failed

Expanded PerspectivesSep 25, 2026

Hosts Cam Hale and Kyle Filson read listener-submitted encounters ranging from an antlered 'not deer' that whispered at two boys by an Oregon river to four tiny, ancient-looking humanoids dragging a dead rabbit through the Arkansas woods. A Marine describes a silent black craft over Fallujah that was visible only through night vision goggles, and another listener recalls a six-foot grasshopper-like being in a tuxedo and top hat knocking at his trailer door in 1980. The recurring theme is the moment the 'veil' slips, when witnesses see things that apparently were never meant to be seen.

Frater Eleftheria on Divine Dialogue: A New Way of Communicating with Angels

Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioAug 29, 2026

Western esoteric practitioner Frater Eleftheria, formerly initiated into the OTO and the A∴A∴, says his book Voces Caelesti (The Book of Heavenly Voices) was received from angelic beings during Enochian scrying rituals. He claims he reconstructed the lost Gebofal ritual that Elizabethan magicians John Dee and Edward Kelley were commissioned to perform but never completed, including recovering a missing 48th call. With host Miguel Conner, he explores the Holy Guardian Angel, the inner Christ, Metatron and the Son of Man, and a striking twist: the Gnostic false god, the demiurge, may be a thought-form humanity created itself.
