Father Malachi Martin was a spooky regular on Art Bell's late night radio show. An author and former Jesuit priest, he shared (according to him) true stories of demon possession and redemption that commanded rapt, breathless attention - and later, nightmares. Listeners were terrified, locking their doors and clutching rosaries or a crucifix. Many were convinced that they, too, were possessed and called in for help. One of Father Malachi’s […]
This time around on Black Hoodie Alchemy, Keats Ross of the PragMagick podcast is here to get our fingers deep in the dark recesses of our unconscious minds, doing some kinds of ghost-busting that you've probably never considered before! Yes, we'll be celebrating the Halloween season a little bit -- and for most you that are listening to this outside of October, don't be discouraged! The content is applicable to […]
Over the years I've done a few exceptionally creepy guest spots on other broadcasts, a few of which were specifically geared for the Halloween season. If you're looking for some really wild Halloween podcasts to listen to, I'd recommend any of these! The links I am posting are all to Spotify, but you can find these wherever you stream your podcasts. Â The Psychology of Halloween - The Secret Teachings […]
Those of a certain generation will remember late nights with cable TV.  We'd aimlessly flick through channels, hoping to find something to watch while drowsing off.  At midnight, the national anthem and a waving flag would signal station signoff before static ruled the airwaves until morning. Maybe you nodded off to the blue grid of the cable guide channel as it scrolled through the channel offerings. Perhaps a scene […]
Researchers announced yesterday they've found the world’s oldest known map of the stars. Dating from the 2nd century BC , the map is attributed to the Greek astronomer and mathematician, Hipparcus. Amazingly, it was found hidden behind overlaid ink within later medieval texts found in Egypt. Papyrus and other writing surfaces were valuable and often “recycled" in ancient times, with scribes writing over old text. Today's advanced imaging techniques can […]
After a two-week break, this next episode picks up right where the last left off: discussing and investigating the outer limits of strangeness! Joined by my friend, Fortean investigator Bob Antone, we discuss some of the stranger and creepier stories he's encountered throughout his life in North Bend, Washington with his wife Laura. Â You can listen to the episode right here! Â Laura is a native of the First […]
Last year, I made a list of some of my favorite lesser-known and cosmically-horrific movies. I highly recommend you check that list out too while you're already looking through this one! With the last theme being cosmic in one way or another, this will be a list aimed at an existential mindf***k. Maybe there's a twist at the end, or maybe the twist is just the warped and unique ways […]
This time around, the show gets pretty X-Files-ish with my colleague, AP Strange -- a writer, researcher, investigator, and collector of Forteana. Strange gives us a brief history of Charles Fort and the ideas of "Fortean" investigation and phenomena, which essentially encompasses anything unexplainable with some shades of specificity that we'll get into. You can listen to the episode right here! Â Armed with an impressive Fortean library, AP Strange […]

He is also a former member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and has a great deal of insight into mysticism, transcendental magick, and Jungian psychology. In this episode, we warm up […]
