In 1993, the Pickman family unknowingly moved into one of the most haunted houses in America. In this episode of MLT, we present a new, possible solution to what was behind the events that nearly destroyed the Pickman family and put the Sallie House of Atchison, KS on the paranormal map.

BONUS Remastered Episode 4: Skinwalker Texas Ranger Part 2 (orig. air date 03 Oct 2023)

Hello, fellow paranerdalists! We are taking a bit of a hiatus in order to bring you remastered versions of our episodes 3 & 4, which is MOZ's original Skinwalker Saga that started his investigation of the Global Shamanic Shapeshifting Complex. Here is the concluding part of the original saga. Original show notes are below. Episode 5 was a follow-up to this two-parter with our first interview with Alex Bone all about Skinwalker lore and our personal experiences with possible skinwalkers. We will be back with new content for you again with the next episode. Thanks for riding along with the Monster Lore Tour. Enjoy!
 
This is part two of our three-part series wherein we explore even deeper into the mysteries of the Skinwalker, as well as the shamanic energies lurking behind this legend. We also discuss some of the mythic, anthropological, and psychological theories behind this phenomenon in an attempt to find an explanation for the consistent and disturbing encounters that continue across the southwest and beyond. You might want to bring some sage for this one.
 
Endless thanks to Mr. Tim Leavy @  timleavy.com for writing us the greatest theme song in the paranormal realms!

BONUS Remastered Episode 3: Skinwalker Texas Ranger Part 1 (orig. air date 26 Sept 2023)

Hello, fellow paranerdalists! We are taking a bit of a hiatus in order to bring you remastered versions of our episodes 3 & 4, which is MOZ's original Skinwalker Saga that started his investigation of the Global Shamanic Shapeshifting Complex. The original version of episode 3 was particularly rough, as we weren't super savvy with the production process, but we've come a long way, and this remaster will give all you listeners out there a much better experience than the original. Episode 4 will be out next week, and we will resume our typical new content after that. Thank you all for listening. Original show notes are below. Enjoy!
Part one of a three-episode deep dive into the world of the Native American Skinwalker. This episode explores the mischief and mayhem of one of the most notorious creatures stalking the western wastes. We explore the totem phenomenon and the commonalties of Skinwalker encounters before looking into a number of related creatures across the globe who share some of this hideous fiend’s traits.

82: Monstrous Microcosm - Be Ye Man or Microbe?

Team MLT dives deep into the monstrous microcosm and faces-off with the microbes literally knocking on the blood-brain barrier. We then discuss how the macrocosm mirrors the chimeric hordes of “interspecies becomings” associated with the microcosm. You may never be the same after this one.

81: Wetiko - Invaders of the Mind (or Attack of the Neural Poop-Goblins)

Tonight, MOZ deep dives the elusive, yet ever-present mind virus known as wetiko. This deep dive is essentially a review of Paul Levy’s work: Wetiko: healing the mind virus that plagues our world. This disturbing phenomenon must be recognized and countered or the survival of humanity itself may well hang in the balance.
