Time Slips
Time travel, time slips, parallel universes, this episode has it all. Is it possible? These stories really make us wonder. But how else do you explain people who see the events of WWII a decade before it happens, or describe seeing Marie Antoinette? We even channel our inner Joe Rogan and briefly bring up DMT.

The Salish Sea Severed Feet
What's creepier than bodies washing ashore? How about just severed feet. Or how about more than 20 severed feet? No,how about more than 20 severed feet all within the last 10 years?!
