This is a hastily thrown together ultra mega super duper coverage of the deceased and/or missing scientists, along with tangential explorations into: the dangers of "the hitchhiker effect", "hyperstitional warfare", and the mysterious "Mr. Axelrod"! All this plus a who's who exploration of all of the scientists currently at the center of the FBI/Congressional Oversight Committee's investigations, as well as a thorough rundown of all the "official", unofficial, & straight up nutty fringe theories behind just what the $@#*% is going on. (I'm trying not to cuss in this one...trying.) NOTE: Sorry if there's a persistent clatter in the background. I couldn't pick it up through my headphones but apparently my rusty old office chair needs a bucket of grease.) PLEASE TO ENJOY!

Here's an episode about some Southwestern American and Mexican shapeshifter sorcery. I mispronounce quite a few words. But overall, this is meant to be part of the current ongoing series covering so called "black magic academies" and their potential connections to anomalous phenomena hotspots (with shapeshifters, ghost lights, and other high strangeness along the way)! PLEASE TO ENJOY!
