• The Paracast — the Gold Standard of Paranormal Radio — is also broadcast weekly on IRN Internet Radio Network

    This Week's Episode — March 30: The rags to riches journey of Elvis Presley, the “king” of rock and roll, is well known. In a special interview with Gene and guest cohost Hercules Invictus, Miguel Conner, author of “The Occult Elvis: The Mystical and Magical Life of the King,” reveals details that are not well known, how Elvis was a profound mystic, occultist, and shaman. Beginning with the unusual circumstances of his birth — and his stillborn twin brother — Conner traces the diverse thread of mysticism that runs through Presley’s life, drawing on firsthand accounts from the people closest to him, including his wife, Priscilla, the Memphis Mafia, and his spiritual advisors. He argues that Elvis was well-versed in the esoteric practices of sex magic, meditation, astrology, and numerology and had a deep familiarity with Kabbalah, Gnosticism, Theosophy, and Eastern traditions. And he also reveals how Elvis was a natural healer, telekinetic, psychic, and astral traveler who had significant mystical experiences and UFO encounters. Connor also looks at the conspiratorial and paranormal aspects of Elvis’s life. And what about the influence of a magical comic book super hero in the look of Elvis' famous costume that he wore during his live performances? Connor's website: Welcome to My World.

    Coming April 6: Gene and cohost Tim Swartz present a special appearance from veteran UFO researcher Chris Rutkowski, who offers a really check about the current state of research into the phenomenon. He has expansive credentials as an investigator and writer, including: contributing editor of International UFO Reporter and was the editor of the Swamp Gas Journal, an occasional Ufozine first published in 1978 when he was part of Decadent Winnipeg Fandom. He is a past-president of the Winnipeg Science Fiction Society and was part of the Winnipeg SF community that gathered Saturdays at the home of the legendary “first fan” Chester Cuthbert. He is also a past-president of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada — Winnipeg Centre and has degrees in science and education. Chris Rutkowski blogs at: uforum.blogspot.com. Rutkowski also has nine published books, including: Visitations? (1989); Unnatural History (1993); Mysterious Manitoba, co-authored with Dave Creighton and Brian Fidler (1997); Abductions and Aliens (2000); The Canadian UFO Report, co-authored with Geoff Dittman (2006); A World of UFOs (2008), I Saw It Too! (2009), The Big Book of UFOs (2010) and When They Appeared, co-authored with Stan Michalak (2019). His last book was Canada’s UFOs — Declassified (2022), and he has been working on a new book.

He’ll also offer a summary of the 2024 Canadian UFO Report, and the possible impact of disclosure, if it ever occurs. And just how would ET approach us if they are really here or planning visits? Rutkowski also wonders whether AI can be used to evaluate UFO sighting reports and come up with some needed conclusions about the phenomenon. He is a Canadian science writer and educator, with a background in astronomy but with a passion for teaching science concepts to children and adults. Since the mid-1970s, he also has been studying reports of UFOs and writing about his investigations and research. He blogs at: uforum.blogspot.com. Rutkowski also has nine published books, including: Visitations? (1989); Unnatural History (1993); Mysterious Manitoba, co-authored with Dave Creighton and Brian Fidler (1997); Abductions and Aliens (2000); The Canadian UFO Report, co-authored with Geoff Dittman (2006); A World of UFOs (2008), I Saw It Too!

General Freewheeling Chit-Chat

There are many things that fall within the field of the paranormal, and this is your place to discuss the issues that interest you. What's more, it doesn't have to be related to the paranormal. Most any subject is fair game.

Why is it that teenagers no longer seem to get involved in looking for UFOs, as we did when we were young? Your ideas are welcomed, and we'd like to also hear from those under 21, if they're listening.
