The Shroud of Turin: Did Science Just Reveal Proof of the Resurrection? (06E02)
14 Jul 2026
01:01:14
The Shroud of Turin may be the most controversial relic in history — but new claims about 3D imaging, ancient blood, Jerusalem soil, and impossible radiation have brought the mystery roaring back.
In this episode, Father Damon joins us to explore whether the Shroud could be evidence of the crucifixion, the resurrection, or something even stranger involving alien DNA, interdimensional beings, and hidden Christian history.
Watch until the end — because the conversation goes far beyond religion.

UFO Disclosure Just Got Stranger: Why Are All the New Sightings Orbs? (S06E01)
07 Jul 2026
01:00:29
The latest UFO files are not what people expected. Instead of classic flying saucers, the new dumps are filled with orbs, morphing objects, strange underwater activity, and footage that feels almost deliberately boring.
In this episode, we break down the new UFO releases, why orbs seem to be replacing discs and triangles, what the government may really be admitting, and whether disclosure is being slowly fed to the public so we stop caring.
Are these unknown technologies, spiritual entities, black-budget secrets, or something even stranger?
Watch until the end and tell us what you think: are we seeing real disclosure… or a carefully controlled distraction?

Beyond the Trip: Why Most Ibogaine Clinics Fail and the Critical Importance of Integration (S05E15)
14 Apr 2026
01:41:21
Is Ibogaine truly the "miracle cure" for addiction and trauma, or are we missing the most important part of the journey? In this interesting episode of the Strange and Mysterious World Podcast, hosts Lee Strydom and William Collinson sit down with Anders Beatty, an Ibogaine Preparation and Integration Specialist. Anders reveals his "origin story" of escaping decades of hardcore addiction and why he believes Ibogaine is not a magic bullet, but a "threshold medicine." We dive deep into the psychology of the "Inner Traumatized Child," whom Anders calls "Bob," and how healing only begins when we stop medicating our in-authenticity and start parenting ourselves. From the "evangelical" legalization movements in Texas to the "mystical African teachers" encountered in the medicine space, this conversation challenges everything you think you know about plant medicine.
In this episode, we discuss: • Why traditional rehabs often fail for "hardcore" addicts. • The "Grey Day" and the brutal reality of the Ibogaine experience. • The "Minutiae of Healing": Why making your bed is more spiritual than a yoga retreat. • The dangers of the "Sausage Factory" medical model and the commodification of pain. • How to build a relationship with the part of you that is in pain.

In this episode of Strange and Mysterious World, William and Lee welcome back psychotherapist, researcher and spiritual explorer Kiara Windrider.

Kiara also explains the strange relationship between galactic cycles, solar activity and Earth’s magnetic field, suggesting we may already be living through a major evolutionary turning point. Could the crises unfolding across the world today be part of a larger evolutionary catalyst for humanity? And if a planetary shift is coming… How should we prepare?

Are We Souls Playing a Game on Earth? NDE's, Archons & The Secret Rules of Reality (S5E10)
10 Mar 2026
01:29:06
What if the entire human experience is a game designed for the soul? In this fascinating episode of Strange & Mysterious World, William Collinson and Lee Strydom speak with author and entrepreneur Kris Land, creator of The Infinity Within trilogy. Kris shares an extraordinary theory about reality, that Earth may be a spiritual game where souls incarnate to experience emotion, challenge, and growth. Drawing from near-death experiences, out-of-body encounters, ancient teachings, and modern consciousness research, the conversation explores a radical possibility: What if we are god-like beings who intentionally entered this world… and agreed to forget who we really are? In this episode we explore: • The shocking theory that Earth is a soul “game” with hidden rules • Why near-death experiences permanently change people • The mysterious concept of Archons and the illusion of reality • Why humanity may be awakening from a cosmic amnesia • The idea that Jesus, Buddha and other figures may have revealed “cheat codes” for the game of life • Why coincidences may actually be signposts left by your soul Kris also recounts an incredible story from his youth where he survived a devastating car crash without a single injury, an event that transformed his understanding of reality forever. If consciousness, reincarnation, simulation theory, and the deeper nature of existence fascinate you then this is an episode you cannot miss.

The Sacred Clown: Native American Shamanism, Heyoka Wisdom & Surviving an Acid Attack (S05E09)
03 Mar 2026
00:35:36
What if the clown was never meant to entertain you…but to heal you? And what if the man behind the makeup survived a brutal acid attack… and chose forgiveness instead of revenge? In this powerful episode of Strange & Mysterious World, we dive deep into the forgotten spiritual tradition of the Sacred Clown (Heyoka), the Native American shamanic archetype who heals through humor, contradiction, and humility. Our guest shares his extraordinary journey from backpacking Europe as a street performer to becoming a professional physical comedian and healer only to face a life-altering attack that nearly cost him his life. After being struck with a pitchfork and burned with battery acid, he experienced something even more profound than trauma: The true origin of Sacred Clowns in Native American traditions • The Heyoka medicine path and thunder-being visions • Why modern society fears clowns • The psychology of comedy and humiliation as healing • The shadow side of pop culture (Pennywise, John Wayne Gacy) • How trauma can transform into spiritual awakening • Why laughter may be medicine in a world on the brink This conversation is raw, mystical, and deeply human. If the clown is a mirror… what is it showing you?
