	Tuesday December 16, 2008

Appearing during the middle two hours, researcher Walter Cruttenden discussed ancient ideas about how our solar system could be tied to another star which may have influenced the rise and fall of civilizations here on Earth. A number of ancient cultures, such as the Greeks, were aware of the precession of the equinox, or the "Great Year," a vast 26,000 year cycle, which was said to alternate between Dark and Golden Ages. Cruttenden has concluded that another sun, well outside our solar system, but much closer than what is believed to be our nearest star, influences the precession cycle. ... More

	Time, Time Travel, & Voodoo
	Tuesday September 9, 2008

Author, storyteller, & ordained Anglican priest Lionel Fanthorpe shared mysteries of time and time travel, and also discussed the practices of Voodoo and Santeria. Time is not completely understood, but gravity may be the link that unlocks its secrets, he said. With upcoming discoveries at CERN, 2008 could become the "year zero" for time travelers in the future to return to this date, he added. He shared cases of time anomalies and strong déjà vu experiences, such as when an American, Mrs. Turner, first arrived in England with her British fiancé. They went to see their new home, an English manor, and as they arrived she knew every detail of the location in advance of seeing it. The butler declared "you are the lady that haunts this house." Fanthorpe speculated that Mrs. Turner astrally traveled overseas to the manor, before she physically went there. He also spoke about anachronistic artifacts such as modern shoes and spark plugs turning up in stone strata that are thou ... More

In the middle two hours, counselor, educator, and healer Colette Baron-Reid discussed shared consciousness, synchronicity, and the scientific underpinnings of intuition. She described experiencing "retro cognition," knowing details of the past and the deceased, from an early age. Baron-Reid classified intuition as a natural phenomenon that can be used to help empower people. Those in certain professions such as the healing arts, tend to more readily tap into intuition, she added. Success in life (viewed in a non-material way) is derived from being at peace with all that is, and being present in the now, she noted.She stressed the importance of allowing the mind to be quiet, which can be done with a repeated mantra or affirmation, as well as breathing exercises. To further develop intuition, watch for the signs and keep a journal, she said. The last hour of the show featured Open Lines. ... More

	Strange Stories
	Thursday July 13, 2006

Author of over 250 books, Lionel Fanthorpe shared unusual stories and also discussed various "time slip" events. These are incidents where people seemingly slip into the past or future for brief periods. Two women were visiting the Palace of Versailles and appeared to see scenery that dated back over a hundred years. In another instance, a man stopped at a restroom and when he came out cars were moving completely silently as though he'd gone into the future, said Fanthorpe. He also talked about the Flannan Isle mystery, in which three lighthouse keepers disappeared together around 1900. Three great gulls were seen flying away and legend has it that these men were turned into seabirds. Fanthorpe recounted the "Oak Island Money Pit" tale. At the end of the 18th century, three teenagers in Nova Scotia discovered a patch of earth on an island they were visiting and began to dig, thinking they had found a pirate's treasure. At each 10 ft. level oak logs were found, but only more land ... More

	Strange & Ghoulish Tales
	Thursday October 20, 2005

Prolific author and Anglican Priest, Lionel Fanthorpe returned to share strange and ghoulish tales. At one point he even sang his own composition about a sasquatch! Among the stories he presented:In White City, New Mexico at an old museum he encountered a bizarre miniature mummy. Noting that the location wasn't far from Roswell, he wondered if the creature could have been an alien. At a haunted bookshop in San Antonio, Texas a section of books were often found on the floor or in disarray in the morning when they opened the store. It's possible the store may have been the site where the great Alamo heroes were cremated by Santa Anna's men, Fanthorpe learned.The Croglin Grange Vampire case from Cumberland, England dates back to around 1870 (though events may have taken place earlier), in which a scarecrow-like creature was traced back to a tomb, where a mummified corpse was found with fresh blood on its lips.Fanthorpe said that he occasionally conducts exorcisms such a ...

	Paranormal Britain
	Thursday August 11, 2005

Author and researcher Lionel Fanthorpe shared paranormal reports and stories from his home in Britain. Since the country has had such a long and turbulent history, it may explain why ghostly "replays" of emotionally charged events occur with some frequency, he said. Fanthorpe recounted the tale of the mermaid of Zennor (a coastal town of Cornwall). She was described as having a fish-like tail and it was said she raised a family in an underwater cave. And supposedly, one day the mermaid asked a sea captain to move his ship because his anchor was blocking the entrance to her home. Fanthorpe speculated that it's possible a humanoid species could have developed that had increased adaptability to water.He also shared an event that took place when he, Uri Geller, and assorted psychics were called to investigate a haunted house at Stonegate, York. He witnessed an "aport," –an antique doorknob suddenly appeared on the floor from out of nowhere, and looked as though it had been pulled off ... More

	Templar Secrets
	Tuesday February 8, 2005

Author and Anglican Priest Lionel Fanthorpe returned to talk about Knights Templar secrets and the Ark of the Covenant. The Ark may have originally belonged to the Egyptians and it could have had alchemical powers to transform energy into a mysterious "fifth element," he said. It was then taken by Moses, he suggested, and later possibly brought to Ethiopia through the Queen of Sheba, who may have had a son with King Solomon. Eventually the Ark may have been hidden at Rennes-le-Château in France by the Templars. In 1885, Saunière (mentioned in the novel The Da Vinci Code), an impoverished priest located there, suddenly came into wealth, and Fanthorpe, surmised that he may have discovered the Ark and sold it. The Templars may have just been the "tip of the iceberg," with their secrets stemming from "ancient guardians" set up by ETs, he posited. But what if these secrets became lost or distorted in some way? asked Fanthorpe. Like a powerful technology, they might do either imm ... More

	Templar Mysteries
	Tuesday August 10, 2004

Author and Anglican Priest Lionel Fanthorpe returned to the show to sharehis research into the mysteries of Templar treasure and the Holy Grail. He named three possibilities as to what the Holy Grail might be: the sacred relic of Christ's cup from the Last Supper, an ancient magical artifact, or a reference to the actual bloodline of Mary Magdalene and Jesus, (Mary according to Fanthorpe was a descendent of King David). Legend has it that the offspring from this Christ bloodline eventually became the Merovingians that ruled France, he said.The Templar Knights, who were involved in the mysteries and hidden treasures at Rennes-le-Chateau in France, may have been looking for ancient divination stones when they searched under Solomon's Temple back in 1118, he continued. The secretive Knights may have originated from a far older group-- "ancient guardians" who date back into the "dim parts of history," he noted. Fanthorpe also theorized about the Ark of the Covenant, sugg ... More

Thursday's guest, the prolific author, Lionel Fanthorpe (website) shared a set of lively stories about anomalous occurrences. Most recently he said he had returned from Hawaii where he was told the legend of the "wereshark," a type of being who takes human form by day, and returns to the water as a killer shark at night.He also spoke about investigating a haunted house with Uri Geller, whom he said demonstrated his inexplicable spoon bending technique. Fanthorpe also delved into the tale of "Spring Heel Jack," a powerful jumping creature that was reported to attack people in the 1800's. He described it as having "pointed ears, a pointed nose, and reddish eyes that glowed." It was wearing a "white oil skin costume," had hands that were like "iron claws" and could breathe blue fire at its victims. Another strange case that Fanthorpe touched on was the Green Children of Woolpit in Suffolk UK. He read from a translated Latin manuscript from 1,000 years ago that told of two childre ... More
