American culture is everywhere, shaping everything from entertainment to fast food—but could its most profound influence be something far more unsettling? Across the globe, from Hong Kong to Japan, Western mental health concepts are spreading, often replacing traditional ways of understanding distress. Depression, PTSD, and eating disorders are appearing in regions where they were once rare, raising the question: is this organic, or is something more deliberate at play? In this episode, we dive into the unsettling case from Japan, where pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline saw an untapped market for antidepressants and set out to change the nation’s perception of sadness itself. Through marketing, media manipulation, and cultural rebranding, they turned “feeling down” into a medical condition overnight—selling billions in pills along the way. Could this be an example of a memetic virus, an idea so powerful that it rewires an entire society’s approach to mental illness? Then, for our Plus+ members, we uncover reports of bizarre shape-shifting UFOs, eerie green mist that seems to transport people between dimensions, and chilling encounters with dark entities that should have never been summoned.

Suppressed by the CIA, the notable works of Chan Thomas are often dismissed as "conspiracy theories" and "pseudoscience," but they are finally starting to gain the attention of modern researchers. Could the Earth have some kind of reset cycle that, through planetary forces, regularly creates cataclysms that keep humanity in check? Could this reset cycle be occurring now, and are elite groups trying to keep this knowledge secret?

Purchasing a new home is supposed to be one of the best investments you can make, and moving in should bring joy and excitement. That is, of course, unless the house is haunted—not just mildly haunted, but a gateway to all kinds of supernatural phenomena. In this episode, we cover the extraordinary experiences of William, who, once a skeptic of the supernatural, began experiencing eerie events in his home after moving in two decades ago, including ghost sightings and poltergeist activity.

We return for a brand new season of MU, kicking off by plunging into the obscure world of occult groups and secret societies. We explore the recent work of Frederick Dodson, who spent years investigating the hidden aspects of Freemasonry, only to uncover an even more secretive group recruiting members through what he came to know as "side doors." Who are these groups, and how are they using spiritual or invisible methods to exert influence and control over society?

Throughout history, new technologies have always sparked apprehension and suspicion. However, arguably none have done so more than the camera, at least from a superstitious perspective. Traditional cultures even believed these modern marvels could steal a piece of your soul. Folklore, perhaps, but could there be something to such a concept? In this episode, we explore this outlandish idea and consider whether, from an energy or new age perspective, cameras and the people who use them could actually take and capture energy from their subjects. If so, what implications could this have for our modern reality? Then, for our Plus+ members, we look at some of the most unusual forms of psychedelic exploration and consider the unconventional techniques for entering and maintaining a psychedelic mind meld.

Recent unusual drone activity over New Jersey and other locations worldwide has sparked widespread interest in unexplained aerial phenomena. While this may seem like a recent development to many, themes of UFOs and strange aerial events have been recurring for decades. In this episode, we dive into these mysterious drone sightings and explore potential connections to high-strangeness encounters, including flying humanoids, winged creatures, and ghostly apparitions. Are these sightings the result of human-made technology, or is there something else at play, drawing attention for its own unknown reasons? Later, for our Plus+ Members, we investigate a series of extraordinary out-of-body experiences undertaken by a man venturing into the far reaches of the astral plane.

Some stories of the paranormal are so outrageous that they seem impossible to believe. However, occasionally, a strange phenomenon comes along that, despite its absurdity, makes you pause and reconsider. In this episode, we dive into one such case as we examine the bizarre occurrences surrounding the Broad Camp Crystal Mine. With claims of levitating rocks, magnetized objects, glowing orbs, and even Sasquatch encounters, we question whether these strange events are evidence of the paranormal or something more mundane. For our Plus+ members, we shift focus to the fascinating topic of time expansion, exploring reports of people who have navigated life-threatening situations by experiencing the distortion of time itself.

At the edges of reality, paranormal beings exist; this concept is especially emphasised in the spaces of liminal zones—areas both figurative and literal that exist in the in-between. Throughout history, people have described all kinds of paranormal encounters with strange beings that not only haunt these areas but also thrive within them. We discuss reports of encounters with the entities of these regions, including gnomes, ghostly apparitions, and even strange mechanically powered flying creatures. Then, for our Plus+ members, we explore the unusual story of a man who had a childhood encounter with a pair of elf-like creatures that propel him into a world of high strangeness and unexplained mysteries.
