Strange Realm - Ep. 081 - Sept. 29th, 2024

Tonight we bring you an eclectic but inspiring range of fascinatingly mysterious stories to talk about this week, including underwater flying saucers that accumulate the energy of undersea wave currents, a tiny high-powered laser raygun that has proven to heat a thin copper wire to an astounding level of heat, tribal rock art from 200 years ago found which depicts a prehistoric monster that lived long before the advent of humanity, and news that a long-term, low dose of THC might be a cognitive booster and also help to de-age the brain! All of this and then after the break, we continue our reading series as Frobisher reads more from "Our Haunted Planet," by John A. Keel.
