This week is another true-crime rabbit hole, as we discuss the strange and somewhat unexplainable tales of the murderers Gary Heidnik and Harrison Graham -- two men that captured and killed women in their North Philly homes at the same times between 1986-87. You can listen to the episode right here! Heidnik was not only some of the "inspiration" for Buffalo Bill in the Silence of the Lambs, but he […]
This episode, after heavy considerations of mysticism, trance states, dreams, abnormal psychology, possession, and even some true crime, we are jumping full-on into the serial killer rabbit to discuss the killer I grew up with -- well, he was stalking the hiking trails I grew up on and murdered a barista downtown while I was in high school. You can listen to the episode right here! This infamous and cowardly […]
This week on Black Hoodie Alchemy, we attempt to sift through the beliefs of demonic possession from the psychoanalytic perspectives of CG Jung and others. You can listen to the episode right here! This will not be an episode based in religious orthodoxy, but that doesn't mean we aren't exploring some potentially unexplainable phenomena all the same. Building off of episode #39, what if calloused, inert phantom limbs of our […]
This week, we get back to our roots some more. Considering science, mysticism, and folklore all at once, we dive down the rabbit holes of dream phenomena and the entities people encounter during them, including the shadow people of sleep paralysis and even the classical Greek mythology of the siren. You can listen to the episode right here! Little known today, the siren was considered a common dream entity thousands […]
Welcome to a little bit of a listener appreciation edition of Black Hoodie Alchemy! We have a pre-recorded call-in from Chris F, a little bit of featured music from rapper and illustrator Alex Arck, and the rowdy banjo picking of listener Grant Mock under the name Stray Puzzle Piece, who also joins me as a guest in the second portion of the show to discuss the concept of CG Jung's […]
This week we have a two-parter, with both parts revolving around total madness. You can listen to the episode right here! For the first half hour, Martin Ferretti of The Alchemical Mind returns to guest-host for me, interviewing the second member of Redneck Mystic Tippy Patson's crew, "The League of Extordniary Gentlemen." Fighting for the freedom of humanity against the Illuminati alligators deep in the Florida Everglades, Codename: Silverback Commando […]
Listen to this week's episode right here! For those of that have kept up with the Tippy Patson interviews, my colleague Martin Ferretti and I have a special treat for you! For those that are unaware, Tippy P is a completely and for sure "real" Florida Man that is convinced he has found evidence of American trucker culture throughout time and space, and that the reptilian Illuminati are actually all […]
Welcome back! After a hiatus of over a month, Black Hoodie Alchemy resumes -- and I've got a bone to pick with the notion of enlightenment. While I don't discount that enlightenment is an attainable state of consciousness, and I don't discount that there are altruistic people alive today that claim enlightenment, I've got a real hard time with the idea of enlightenment for several reasons. You can listen to […]
Fellow researcher and field-investigator, Chaz of the Dead joins me to talk about some of his strange expeditions across the world, investigation the unexplainable, the psychedelic, and the horrific -- oftentimes all at once. Firstly we discuss Chaz's ground-rules of paranormal investigation, with considerations of Carl Jung, chaos magick, and classical paranormal ghost hunting but without the crosses and holy water. After this, we get into some real wild stories. […]
