Inspector Roy Teague Returns: Police UFO Accounts, Abduction Claims and the Paranormal

Inspector Roy Teague returns to Pursuit of the Paranormal for a follow-up conversation with Ash and Greg about the police witness accounts reaching him since his NewsNation appearance. Roy recounts reports of egg-shaped UFOs, black triangles and alleged abductions, including a serving officer’s “fuzzy faces” account that he says he is sharing publicly for the first time. The discussion considers repeat sightings, witness anonymity, the difficulties of investigating consciousness and telepathy claims, and listener questions about police vehicles and a hypothetical disclosure event. Beyond UFOs, Roy shares paranormal reports relayed by police and emergency-service witnesses. Ash and Greg revisit an unexplained sound they heard in Delamere Forest, and Roy outlines his plans to film investigations for Policing the Unexplained. The closing discussion explores the overlap some witnesses describe between UFO sightings, paranormal experiences and reported premonitions. The episode presents witness accounts, personal interpretations and speculation, rather than independently verified events. Some recollections are described as emerging under hypnosis; they do not establish that an abduction occurred. Find Roy on YouTube: Policing the Unexplained.

Creature of the Pines: Horror, Alien Abductions & Paranormal Filmmaking | Tyler Transue | Doc Side Media

What happens when paranormal documentary makers turn their attention to fictional horror? Greg and Ash welcome back Tyler Transue from Doc Side Media, the independent production company behind a growing collection of UFO, Sasquatch and paranormal documentaries. This time, Tyler joins us to discuss two very different productions: Creature of the Pines, a new found-footage horror film set in the New Jersey Pine Barrens, and Stolen by the Stars, a documentary exploring extraordinary accounts of alien abduction and contact. Following a successful cinema screening of Creature of the Pines, Tyler shares the story of how he and fellow filmmaker Chris Ruppert moved from interviewing paranormal witnesses to creating their own terrifying fictional investigation, taking inspiration from the documentary realism of films such as The Blair Witch Project. We explore the challenges of independent filmmaking, stepping in front of the camera, creating convincing horror and the business of getting films distributed. The conversation also examines how Doc Side Media approaches genuine paranormal testimony. How do they identify experiencers? What happens when somebody shares an almost unbelievable story? And should documentary makers decide what audiences are prepared to believe? Perhaps most interestingly, we discuss the sometimes controversial relationship between paranormal investigation and entertainment. Can filmmakers produce factual investigations and fictional horror without undermining their credibility? We also look back over five years of Doc Side Media productions, from Conscious Contact: Full Disclosure and Secrets of the Sasquatch to Surrounded by Spirits and Stolen by the Stars. www.docsidemedia.com Creature of the Pines is available through Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV and Screambox, while Stolen by the Stars is available through Tubi and Apple TV, subject to regional availability. WATCH CREATURE OF THE PINES – SPECIAL OFFER Want to check out Tyler and Chris's new found-footage horror film?

Pentagon UFO Revelations, Mystery Space Debris & a VERY Cheeky Ghost! | Paranormal News

👽 Alien bodies recovered at Roswell? Mystery debris discovered in a cornfield? And a ghost with wandering hands?! Welcome to another UFO & Paranormal News Roundup from Pursuit of the Paranormal , where we explore the latest strange stories making headlines around the world. This week, we're covering three fascinating stories from the worlds of UFOs, unexplained phenomena and ghostly encounters. 🛸 PENTAGON UFO REVELATIONS Former Pentagon UAP Task Force director Jay Stratton has made extraordinary claims in his new book, Out of the Shadows . From alleged recovered alien spacecraft and non-human bodies at Roswell to mysterious triangular UFO footage, we examine what he's saying, his intelligence background and, crucially, where the evidence stands. ☄️ MYSTERY OBJECT DISCOVERED IN MINNESOTA An enormous metallic object measuring approximately 11 feet across has been discovered in a Minnesota cornfield. Authorities are investigating its origin, with space debris a possible explanation. But what exactly is it, and where did it come from? 👻 A VERY CHEEKY YORKSHIRE GHOST A woman visiting the Haunted Objects Museum in Rotherham claims an unseen presence pulled and released her bra strap inside the notorious Demon Room! We examine the reported encounter, the CCTV reaction and whether there's a more down-to-earth explanation. 🔎 Three stories. Plenty of questions. But what does the evidence actually tell us? At Pursuit of the Paranormal, we approach the unexplained with curiosity, an open mind and healthy scepticism. #UFO #UAP #Paranormal #Roswell #UFODisclosure #JayStratton #GhostStories #ParanormalNews #PursuitOfTheParanormal Got a strange story to tell us?

The Cartography of High Strangeness: UFOs, Consciousness and the Paranormal | Richard Monck

What if UFO encounters, paranormal experiences, strange coincidences and altered states of consciousness aren't separate mysteries, but different parts of the same phenomenon? In this episode of Pursuit of the Paranormal, Greg and Ash welcome Fortean writer and researcher Richard Monck, whose work explores the fascinating intersections between UFOs, consciousness, folklore and high strangeness. Richard's personal journey into the unexplained began with extraordinary childhood experiences, including an apparent UFO sighting in 1980 that would influence his understanding of reality for decades to come. Through his writing, including The Cartography of High Strangeness for UAPedia, Richard explores whether unusual experiences might form part of a much bigger picture. Drawing on the ideas of researchers and thinkers such as John Keel, Jacques Vallée and Patrick Harpur, we explore the boundaries between the physical world, human perception and experiences that seem to defy conventional explanations. Could certain individuals be more susceptible to extraordinary experiences? Are synchronicities simply coincidences, or could they suggest something deeper? And might the UFO phenomenon have more in common with traditional paranormal experiences than we realise? From mysterious encounters to the possibility that consciousness plays a fundamental role in our understanding of reality, this conversation takes us into the fascinating territory of high strangeness. Join Greg, Ash and Richard Monck as we venture beyond conventional explanations and explore the mysteries connecting the paranormal, UFOs and human consciousness.

Spooky Britain: Haunted Places, Dark Tourism & a Sceptic’s Own Haunting | Peter Naldrett

Greg and Ash are joined by Peter Naldrett , author of Spooky Britain: The 100 Most Eerie and Mysterious Places to Visit , for a journey through some of Britain’s strangest locations, ghost stories and supernatural legends. Peter describes himself as a sceptic — but during his university days in Lancaster he experienced something he still struggles to explain. Mysterious black ash repeatedly appeared on his pillow before he eventually witnessed the substance apparently materialising above him and falling onto his desk. Later experiences in the same house included moving curtains and the terrifying sensation of an unseen presence approaching his bedroom. That experience changed the way Peter thinks about paranormal testimony and ultimately forms part of the story behind Spooky Britain . We explore the process of choosing 100 locations from across Britain and hear stories involving haunted pubs, cursed objects, castles, prisons, theatres, witchcraft, Cannock Chase, nuclear bunkers, strange voices inside underground caverns and some of the country’s lesser-known supernatural legends. The conversation also explores dark tourism , whether paranormal stories are sometimes deliberately monetised, why some locations embrace their haunted reputations while others avoid them, and why Britain’s centuries of history have created such a rich landscape of ghosts, folklore and mystery.

This Week in the Unexplained: UFO Disclosure, SpaceX and A Ghosts Voice?

This week on the Pursuit of the Paranormal Weekly News Round-Up, Greg looks at three of the biggest stories from the world of UFOs, UAP and the paranormal. David Grusch has returned to The Joe Rogan Experience and says he believes a form of UAP disclosure could happen before Donald Trump leaves office. During the same conversation, Joe Rogan also revealed that White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller allegedly told him that information about UFOs was “going to come out”. We also look at the strange blue-white object spotted during SpaceX’s historic Starship Flight 14. The footage quickly sparked UFO speculation online, but a closer look at the livestream may offer a much more conventional explanation. And finally, we head to Castletown on the Isle of Man, where the Sixth Senses Paranormal Society investigated the Vintage Tea Room and reported recording what they believe could have been the voice of a child. Three very different stories, but all raising the same question: where does the evidence end, and interpretation begin?

The Lady in the Bay Window: 21 Years of Unexplained Activity | William C. Grave

William C. Grave bought his first home at just 19 years old as a complete sceptic. Before he had even moved in, a friend looked towards the empty property and asked a question that would eventually change the course of William’s life: “Who’s the lady in the bay window?” More than two decades later, multiple people have independently reported seeing what appears to be the same elderly woman inside the house, described with grey hair, a dark cardigan, white blouse and an unnervingly piercing stare. In this episode of Pursuit of the Paranormal, Greg and Ash sit down with William to explore the extraordinary story behind The Lady in the Bay Window. William recounts one of the strangest episodes in the house: American one-cent coins repeatedly appearing in places where they seemingly should not have been. What began with a coin appearing on the bedroom floor escalated over several nights until William says one actually struck him on the leg while he was alone in the shower. Later, a single coin left on his bedside table appeared to have become two. He also describes witnessing what he considers one of the most compelling incidents personally: a spring-loaded door handle moving down in front of him and his wife, the door opening, then the handle snapping back up as the door slammed shut. We also discuss investigations carried out inside the property, including a 24-hour visit from Ghosts on Trent. Footage recorded while nobody was inside appeared to contain unexplained knocking and tapping, while another camera captured what looked remarkably like the figure of a woman standing at a window. When William showed the image to his father, he was sent a photograph of William’s late mother on her wedding day. William admits the resemblance was difficult to unsee, while remaining careful not to claim that this proves what was captured. Despite everything that has happened, William still stops short of declaring his house definitively haunted. He knows something unusual appears to be happening, but remains open to the possibility that paranormal experiences could ultimately have an explanation we do not yet understand. The story has since become far bigger than the house itself. William’s first book has raised more than £57,000 for Weston Park Cancer Charity, fulfilling a promise he made to his mother before she died. We also talk about The Lady in the Bay Window theatre production, William’s Beyond the Bay Window podcast, the launch of paranormal-events platform HauntSeek, and the newly announced film deal that will bring the story to the screen as a found-footage project. Is this a genuine haunting? Coincidence? An unknown physical phenomenon? Or something else entirely? Join Greg and Ash for the remarkable story of The Lady in the Bay Window. Find William C. Grave: The Lady in the Bay Window theladyinthebaywindow.com HauntSeek hauntseek.co.uk The Lady in the Bay Window books are available through Amazon, with signed editions available directly through William’s website.

Can We Predict a Haunting? | Andy Guy, SCIRE Tech & the Science of the Paranormal

What if paranormal activity could be measured, analysed — and eventually even predicted? In this episode of Pursuit of the Paranormal , Greg and Ash are joined by Andy Guy of SCIRE Tech for a deep dive into the technology, data and science behind paranormal investigation. Andy explains how an early experience at Woodchester Mansion led him into years of investigation, environmental monitoring and eventually the development of specialist paranormal research equipment through SCIRE Tech . The conversation goes far beyond flashing K2 meters and REM pods. We get into EMF contamination, temperature, air pressure, radiation, environmental anomalies, moon phases and the importance of understanding exactly what your equipment is measuring. Andy also discusses the idea of a preponderance of evidence — where multiple independent measurements change around the same unexplained event — and his long-term goal of using enough data to identify patterns that may eventually help predict when certain types of anomalous activity are more likely to occur. Then things get even stranger. Could some apparitions be connected to parallel realities rather than the dead? Could consciousness exist beyond the brain? Why do UFO encounters, cryptid reports and paranormal experiences sometimes appear to overlap? And could AI eventually analyse millions of paranormal data points and reveal patterns that humans have completely missed? Greg also revisits the bizarre Delamere investigation where an Estes session, unexplained electrical interference and unidentified objects in the sky appeared to occur at the same time. The deeper the conversation goes, the bigger the question becomes: Are paranormal investigators actually measuring ghosts — or something far stranger?
