My guest for this episode is Bex Atwood. Bex, who lives on the Kitsap Peninsula in Washington State, is a witch, horticulturalist and paranormal investigator, who in 2021 joined the Liminal Earth project alongside Jeremy Puma and Garrett Kelly, who I spoke to in episode nineteen, way back in 2019.

Our discussion includes topics such as the nature of hauntings, the value of respecting and understanding your environment when investigating the paranormal, some of the projects the Liminal Earth team are currently involved in, and much more.

Episode 79 - Travis Watson - Mysteries in the Mist
Wednesday May 11, 2022
Wednesday May 11, 2022
For this episode I’m joined by a returning guest, author Travis Watson to discuss his latest book ‘Mysteries in the Mist : Mist. Fog and Clouds in the Paranormal’.
This is a follow up work to his book on Phantom Black Dogs and explores the evidence of an association between a host of different paranormal phenomena and their appearance amidst or being presaged by unusually localised mist, which in some cases seems to be an intentional act.
In the interview we discuss this in more detail, exploring a number of examples included in the book, from Dogmen to Sasquatch, Djinn, Shadow People and much more.
‘Mysteries in the Mist : Mist. Fog and Clouds in the Paranormal' is available to buy now.

Episode 78 - Michelle Souliere - Bigfoot in Maine
Wednesday Apr 20, 2022
Wednesday Apr 20, 2022
My guest for this episode is paranormal researcher and author Michelle Souliere.
Michelle is a resident of Portland in the US state of Maine and since 2005 has been chronicling the weirdness of that part of the world in her ‘Strange Maine’ blog, which explores unusual local history, mysteries, legends, cryptids and a whole lot more.
In 2021 she released the book Bigfoot in Maine, which is the subject of our conversation for this episode. In the interview we talk about the history of Bigfoot sightings in Maine, and what might explain some of those encounters. We then move on to discuss the eyewitness experiences Michelle has recorded from more recent times, interviewing the people involved to get their testimony first hand. Some of those experiences are quite incredible, and offer a fascinating insight into the nature of the Bigfoot phenomenon.
The 'Strange Maine' blog can be found at http://strangemaine.blogspot.com/ and Michelle's books are available from all good booksellers - including the Green Hand Bookshop (https://greenhandbookshop.com/), which she owns and operates and where signed copies are available.
The video Michelle mentions in the interview where Suzy talks more about her encounters with 'Wabou' can be found here.

Episode 77 - Matt Frederick - A Meeting at The Crossroads: Robert Johnson and The Devil
Wednesday Apr 06, 2022
Wednesday Apr 06, 2022
Joining me for this episode is returning guest Matt Frederick, who first appeared on Some Other Sphere back in 2019, in the early days of the podcast. This time around we’re discussing his new book, A Meeting at The Crossroads: Robert Johnson and The Devil, which explores one of Blues musics best known legends, that the musician Robert Johnson made a pact with the Devil for talent and fortune, and not long after met his demise in 1939, at the age of just twenty-seven.
In the interview we talk about the numerous factors which combined, or existed at the same time to birth the legend; the creativity and spirituality of the Blues; the rich traditions and folklore of the Deep South, the real-world dangers facing travelling Black musicians in the 1930’s and the mythic reputation that could be attained from that kind of life.

Episode 76 - Eli Lewis-Lycett - The Local Mythstorian
Wednesday Mar 23, 2022
Wednesday Mar 23, 2022
My guest for this episode is Eli Lewis-Lycett.
Eli is a historian, researcher and writer from the Northwest Midlands of England who in 2020 started the Local Mythstorian project, a blog in which he delves into the legends and history of that area, which covers parts of Cheshire, Derbyshire and Staffordshire. In his research he digs deep into historical records to find the connections between fact and myth, and how those things have influenced each other and been preserved through the local communities that retain a memory of events from the deep past.
In the interview we talk about his approach in more detail, and some examples of where it has yielded fascinating results. Headless Horsemen, Arthurian legends and teleporting witches all feature in what was a really fun conversation.

Episode 75 - Richard Daniels - The Occultaria of Albion
Wednesday Feb 23, 2022
Wednesday Feb 23, 2022
For this episode I’m joined by writer, performer and podcaster Richard Daniels.
Richard is the creator of the Occultaria of Albion, a part work zine and podcast series that explores a wide range of strange goings on in locations that feel familiar but exist in an alternate England, just beyond the horizon of the one we know about. He describes it as ‘a world designed by torch and moonlight, dedicated to revealing the truth about the paranormal’.
In the interview we start by talking about how the Occultaria came into being, the way that it explores the nature of the paranormal though a fictional lens and the insights gained by doing that. We go on to discuss ghosts, urban legends, conspiracy theories, UFOs and the weird charisma of electricity pylons, to name just a few things.
For more information on the Occultaria of Albion go to https://www.occultariaofalbion.com/.

Wednesday Feb 09, 2022
Wednesday Feb 09, 2022
My guest for this episode is Kate Cherrell. Kate is a writer, editor and creator of the excellent Burials & Beyond blog, which she describes as being about "life, death and the weird bits in-between".
She has a keen enthusiasm for cemeteries, unusual graves, death history, miserable Victorians, and the paranormal, all of which shines though in her writing.
In the interview we start by talking about how she got interested in these subjects, and what makes cemeteries and graveyards such fascinating places. Later on we discuss the origins of the Spiritualist movement in Britain, it’s influence on mediumship in more recent times, and how these practices are depicted in pop culture.
The Burials & Beyond Blog can be found at https://burialsandbeyond.com/.

Episode 73 - Caz Clarke - The Pentyrch UFO Incident
Wednesday Jan 26, 2022
Wednesday Jan 26, 2022
In this episode, I talk with Caz Clarke, who was a first-hand witness to a spectacular UFO that appeared near where she lived in the small village of Pentyrch, South Wales, in February 2016.
What has come to be known as the Pentyrch UFO incident was preceded by days of unusual aircraft activity in the area and escalated into what can really only be described as a full scale military operation to intercept the mysterious interloper, actions which resulted in reports of an explosion some miles away and evidence of damage to woodland in that area.
The explanation as to the nature of these events that was provided from official channels is short on detail and does not correspond with witness testimony. Added that that, there was suspicious activity reported in the area afterwards that seems directly connected to the incident and again the rationale given for this is left somewhat wanting.
All in all this is a fascinating case. In the interview I talk with Caz in detail about what happened, the investigation she is still working hard on to get a full explanation of those events, and the implications of the incident itself and how it was handled by those in authority.
More information the the Pentyrch UFO incident can be found at http://www.thepentyrchincident.com/.

Welcome to the first episode of 2022! My guest is author Travis Watson, who joined me to talk about his recent book – Phantom Black Dogs: Walkers of the Liminal Way. Travis writes both fiction and non-fiction under the name W.T. Watson and has long been fascinated by the paranormal.
