The Micah Hanks Program

This week on The Gralien Report Podcast, listener emails set the mood for the strange as we probe for details regarding the appearances of strange mystery beings, including some commentary on the recent (and bogus) Discovery special on the “Russian Yeti”, as well as a report of a strange sighting of a “grinning man” seen in California. Then in hour two, we turn our attention to one of the most disturbing cases we’ve heard about all year. Two young girls–both age 12–led a third 12-year-old girl into the forest, where she was held down and stabbed nearly twenty times… why? The misguided girls explained that their horrific actions had been meant as a “proxy” for an urban legend character called the Slender Man, and that by committing the heinous act of killing one of their peers, they could “prove the skeptics wrong.” Author David Weatherly joins us to try to make sense of this tragedy, and discusses not only the folklore associated with Slender Man, but also the role parents must play in the lives of their children, and the potentially harmful interests they may have.

This week on The Gralien Report Podcast, the continuation of our research into disappearances in the Great Smoky Mountains National Forest continues, along with a discussion of UFO sightings around the world, and a possible anomalous craft photographed from the window of an airplane. Then in hour two, we shift gears toward the discussion of mystery beasts with author Ken Gerhard, who discusses his research into the missing pieces to the great Earthly zoological puzzle with regard to flying humanoids, Bigfoot encounters, and even the minutia of the crypto-community represented by small, but supposed beasts unknown to science.

This week on The Gralien Report Podcast, the boys in the bunker take a look at the serious study of the unexplained and the work of Charles Hoy Fort, for whom the term “Fortean” is derived. Is it important for science to study the unexplained, and at what point does scientific dogma get into the realm of exclusivity? From reports of giant skeletons buried beneath North America, to strange tales of airships seen going all the way back to the 1850s, our examination of Forteana runs the gamut all within an hour. Then in hour two, things take a creepy turn as we begin with an examination of John Keel and “organized harassment” of UFO researchers. Then Micah and Caleb get personal with their own creepy experiences in National Parks, in conjunction with a discussion of a truly unsettling strange disappearance in the heart of the Smoky Mountains. Is there more “afoot” here than there seems to be? News tips or story ideas? Email us at info@gralienreport.com. If you enjoyed this podcast, you might also enjoy our Gralien X subscriber zone, where you get additional weekly shows, including the Gralien X Podast, Gralien Enigmas, and much more.

This week on The Gralien Report Podcast, has the long-lost sunken Santa Maria, sailed by Christopher Columbus and lost off the coast of Haiti, been discovered? Also, what would Pope Francis think if Martians landed tomorrow? How many tentacles must an alien have before it qualifies for having a soul? And then in hour two, we also examine the work of the late H.R. Giger, and how it may have influenced the mythology surrounding the Chupacabra.

This week on The Gralien Report Podcast, the Boys in the Bunker issue a warning to humankind about the ever-present threat of an asteroid strike on planet Earth… is this a threat should be taken more seriously? Then Matty Beckerman, the director of the Brown Mountain Lights-inspired film Alien Abduction, joins us to discuss his movie, as well as his own personal sightings of the lights. Then in hour two, things turn Whovian as author Aaron Gulyas joins us to discuss the influence of Doctor Who, the longest-running sci-fi drama on television, on culture throughout the last several decades. Of particular interest are the ways that the fate of Atlantis, along with von Daniken-inspired ancient astronaut theories, have been mirrored in the series, especially throughout the last several decades.

This week on The Gralien Report Podcast, what exists beyond the reach of the human senses? Will technology soon afford us the ability not only to read the mind, but perhaps to read the future, and will such innovations even help us learn about the potential for there being an afterlife? And then what about other life forms… do our pets experience NDEs, like some people claim they have? And at what point do such questions spill over into the realm of other intelligences in our universe, and how we may eventually make contact with them? Then during hour two, our guest, the Reverend Michael J.S. Carter, says that he has had contact with other intelligences in our universe, which he feels show us that mankind has had a long history of contact with extraterrestrial beings. In discussing his book, Alien Scriptures: Extraterrestrials in the Holy Bible, an interesting conversation ensues, which questions both individual faith, as well as mankind’s position in the universe.

This week on The Gralien Report Podcast, Micah and the fellows tell about their recent visit to the Ozark Mountains, where they attended one of the largest UFO conferences in the United States. Also covering the latest news and strange goings on in the twilight world of Forteana, what are the strange and thunderous sounds emanating from Highgate, home of a legendary “vampire”, which continue to rattle the countryside? Then during hour two, we look at the recent Blood Moon, and the way that Japanese researchers have been baffled by the recent blooming of a cherry tree that spent eight months aboard the International Space Station as a seed.
