Behind the Paranormal with Paul & Ben Eno on WOON 1240 AM and 99.3 FM Providence/Boston

In this rebroadcast of show #1006 from July 23, Paul & Ben welcome back British UFO researcher and retired detective Gary Heseltine to continue discussion from the April 30th show on his book "Non-Human: The Rendlesham Forest UFO Incidents - 42 Years of Denial." Gary takes us through the 17 separate UFO/UAP encounters that make up the RFI, something we believe has never been done on the air before. The Rendlesham Forest Incidents of 1980 are now considered by many to be the second most significant UFO case after Roswell.

Think you know the Rendlesham Forest Incidents (RFI) of 1980 ("Britain's Roswell")? In five years of intensive research, retired police detective and UFO legend Gary Heseltine has interviewed new witnesses, rehabilitated witnesses who had been sidelined, called into question the generally accepted narrative, and uncovered new UFO incidents not generally known before. In this rebroadcast of show #994 from April 30, Paul & Ben welcome Gary back. His new book is winning critical acclaim: "Non-Human: the Rendlesham Forest UFO Incidents - 42 Years of Denial."

Listener questions led discussion from animal ghosts and the nature of aliens to whether demons can be killed. See the video of this show.

In the first radio show he has done in 49 years, retired Bridgeport, Connecticut, police officer Joseph Tomek appears on the show today to remember the Lindley Street Poltergeist of 1974. Joseph was in the thick of it with Paul Eno and Ed & Lorraine Warren from November 24-26 that year. He witnessed stunning phenomena and even communicated with an entity. See the video of this show.

Beginning with a discussion of "Europe's Roswell," (It's not Rendlesham Forest, according to this guest.) we head for uncharted waters with historic British UFOs - and the crash debris - with archaeologist Mark Olly of the History Channel's "Ancient Aliens." Tim Swartz co-hosts today. See the video of this show.

The legendary, winged, fiery-eyed monster that terrorized the Ohio River Valley in the 1960s has long been considered a harbinger of doom worldwide. Now, why are so many people having nightmares of nuclear war and Mothman? A formidable panel, including Ben Eno, Marc Dantonio and Valerie Lofaso, take up these questions today. SEE THE VIDEO OF THIS SHOW.

The unique combination of guest and co-hosts on this episode - Dr. Irena Scott, Marc Dantonio (sitting in for Ben) and Tim Swartz, all distinguished UFO researchers in their own right - made this a show for the books! This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Parker-Hickson alien abduction: Pascagoula, Mississippi, Oct. 11th 1973. Encounter witness Charles Hickson translated in 2011 and Calvin Parker in August 2023 (Show #764, Oct. 28, 2018). For the last five years veteran UK UFO researcher Philip Mantle and retired US academic Dr. Irena Scott have re-investigated this encounter, uncovering a large amount of new documentary evidence, plus much new, first-hand independent eyewitness testimony. See the video of this show.

Astronomer Marc Dantonio (MUFON, the Science Channel) joined Paul & Ben today to help tackle some profound, and sometimes pretty dark, questions and comments from listeners. Discussion ranged all the way from the reality of matter and flat-Earth theory, to dark alien agenda possibilities. See the video of this show.

In a little-known case, much of it captured on video, an entire village in Wales was caught up in a bizarre UFO incident in 2012. Gari Jones, who carried out an exhaustive investigation with witness interviews, joined Paul, Ben and guest co-host Tim Swartz today. See the video of this show.

The legendary Aleksandar Petakov, who has joined Paul & Ben on many field investigations, returned to the show to update us on his adventures searching the globe for Bigfoot, lake monsters and other cryptids. He shared remarkable recent experiences from Alaska and New Hampshire. Matthew Moniz guest co-hosted with Paul & Ben. During the show, none other than Nick Redfern called in to talk about his new Mothman book. See the video of this show.

The annual Western Connecticut UFO Conference, sponsored by the Danbury Public Library, began right here as we welcomed back the Rev. Michael Carter of Ancient Aliens as our special guest to interact with the live and virtual audience both on the air and for an extra hour afterward via Zoom. The remainder of the conference took place virtually and in person over the following days. Other speakers included Marc Dantonio, Michael Panicello, Thom Reed, Peter Robbins, Michael Schratt and Linda Zimmermann. See the video of this show.

Lending credence to the contention that people, not places, are haunted, Michael Kameron is just an ordinary person who has experienced high strangeness from all sides all his life: From alien abductions to strange, mystical beings, from his childhood right through to his adult life, sometimes with other family members - and the resulting PTSD. Paul & Ben welcomed him today. SEE THE VIDEO OF THIS SHOW

MUFON's Dev Rugne returned to the show today to cue us in on the weirdest goings-on in the California UFO/UAP world and beyond. Rick Eno co-hosted. Discussion ranged all the way to the "dogmen" often seen in the Golden State. See the video of this show.

In a fast-moving and wide-ranging show, our unusual set of co-hosts fielded questions from listeners on everything from how old ghosts can get and reincarnation all the way to remote viewing and out-of-body experiences, and more. See the video of this show.

In a show fraught with odd technical glitches, Paul & Ben welcome back world-renowned UFO/UAP researcher/author Paola Leopizzi Harris and researcher, author and Rendlesham Forest Incidents witness Steve Laplume to take an in-depth look at the blockbuster revelations now taking place on Capitol Hill. But are these legitimate "disclosure" or another agenda-driven distraction? And why doesn't Congress talk with the true experiencers rather than former government officials? See the video of this show.

Underwater ghosts, the Sauchie poltergeist, the Lady in the Black Cloak, the appearance of a disembodied arm during a crowded lecture, and even "Alien Bill" all featured as Paul & Ben welcomed 50-year Scottish investigator and prolific author Malcolm Robinson to his debut on the show to talk about some very unusual ghosts and what makes them tick. Malcolm takes a more classical view of ghost theory than the Enos do, and the cases are riveting. See the video of this show.

Paul & Ben welcome paranormal researcher Joshua Chaires for a look at his high-tech group The Phantom Detectives, based in Pennsylvania. Discussion ranged from the nature of ghosts and hauntings to how to conduct an investigation, with Joshua taking a very traditional view, and the Enos sticking with their own paranormal theories.

In his work with MUFON, Earl has closed a plethora of high strangeness cases, one of which was presented as one of MUFON’s “Cases Of The Year” at the 2021 Symposium. Earl feels that the Experiencer Phenomenon is the beating heart of Ufology. ”If we wish to understand this phenomenon, we need to listen to those who have had face to face encounters.” Earl is a full time Ufologist who lives in Los Angeles, California. See the video of this show.

Astronomer, TV personality and science-based UFO researcher Marc Dantonio, a member of Paul & Ben's investigative team, returns to the show to talk about his new book, which outlines the idea that life is the rule, not the exception, in the universe. Discussion ranged from life as we know it and life as we don't know it, to the more than 7,000 exoplanets discovered, to the timeline of life, panspermia and what alien civilizations might be like, and how does the multiverse concept affect it all? See the video of this show.

A Guide to ETs, Aliens, Gods, Angels & Exoplanets.” Paul & Ben welcomed Ella to her debut on the show today. But we never even got to that. The question of who is God and is there more than one took us far afield. See the video of this show.

Back on the show for the first time in seven years is Steve Alten, author of the blockbuster "Meg" series of novels, basis for the "Meg" movies. In "The Loch" series, Steve has also tackled the Loch Ness creature(s), and today he cued us in on the facts behind the fiction. AUDIO ONLY. VIDEO OF THIS SHOW HAS BEEN LOST.

If the U.S. Government ever comes clean on what it knows about UFOs/UAPs ("disclosure"), Stephen Bassett should receive much of the credit. Through his Paradigm Research Group, Stephen has worked tirelessly for many years to rally members of Congress, UFO experts and others to have hearings where the issues are openly discussed. In his first appearance on the show since 2016, Paul & Ben welcomed Stephen for an update on his efforts -- with a few disgreements along the way. See the video of this show.

Paul & Ben took the hour to field questions from listeners on subjects as diverse as what the parasites in the Lindley Street poltergiset case of 1974 looked like, to the age of human civilization, to how Jesus could eat a meal with friends after rising from the dead. See the video of this show.

Paul & Ben welcome a few of the greatest names who have appeared on the show over the past 15 years - in an astonishing meeting of the minds, a panel discussion for the ages on five "ultimate questions" sent in by listeners: What happens when we die?

In an unexpected twist reflecting the ongoing adventure of live radio, today's guest had to reschedule at the last minute, so our father-son co-hosts had to take the hour with an open-line show. They began with a completed questonnaire (available on the Behindtheparanormal.com website) reporting a very unusual Bigfoot sighting in Kentucky many years ago, and the implications. Discussion ranged from consciousness to modern paranormal TV shows like "Ancient Aliens." Paul & Ben also promoted their 15th Anniversary Show/1000th broadcast on June 11. See the video of this show.

Paul & Ben welcomes British UFO researcher Philip Kinsella who, as a clairvoyant and multiverse-aware thinker, brings a seldom-heard perspective to the Rendlesham Forest UFO case of 1980 - and to the forest itself, which our father-son co-hosts consider a major "flap area." The discussion embraced ideas about consciousness and paranormal events. Paul & Ben compared their own experiences and findings at Rendlesham. See the video of this show.

Paul & Ben rarely host fiction authors on the show unless their works are experience-based. Daniel Harary certainly fits that description. The son of a US Defense Dept. employee and experiencer, and a three-time experiencer himself, Daniel shared the journey that led him to write "After They Came." Discussion ranged from aliens saving the world to the merits of human free will. Video of this show is pending.

"Paul & Ben welcome Gillian to the show today to answer questions like: What is reincarnation and how does it work, especially re: relativity, consciousness and quantum mechanics?

Paul & Ben welcomed back investigative author and lecturer Peter Robbins, whose writing and research are focused on the subject of truly anomalous UFOs and their implications for humanity.

Paul & Ben welcome him today. See the video of this show.

Paul & Ben welcomed back Rev. Michael Carter of the History Channel's "Ancient Aliens" series for a discussion about who these primal visitors might have been and might be today.

Many thousands of people, including our father-son co-hosts, are eyewitnesses to Bigfoot-like creatures. But if this is an ancient primate or undiscovered human, why is it often accompanied by balls of light and other paranormal phenomena? Today, Paul & Ben welcomed Dr. Simeon Hein, a scientist who has taken a similar path to their own, moving beyond the classic paranormal theories and into new realms of quantum mechanics and parallel worlds that embrace not only cryptids, UFOs and ghosts, but extraordinary phenomena like luminosities, time slips, and telepathic interactions. Discussion ranged from different kinds of experiencers and many types of phenomena to the possibilities of plasma-based life forms. See the video of this show.

The unusual UFO/alien theories and overall legacy of the late Nigel Kerner were the subject as Paul & Ben welcomed two British luminaries who worked with him. Are the often-reported "grey aliens" actually biomechanical? Are they here to "harvest human souls"? Dr. Biggerstaff and Ms. Silverman believe they have some of the answers. See the video of this show.

Today's open-line show focuses on questions and comments from readers outside the United States, and Paul & Ben get an earful.

Prolific novelist ("Communion," "The Day After Tomorrow" and many more) and experiencer Whitley Strieber returned to the show for the first time in 10 years to share some of his most bizarre entity encounters, discuss what they did to his life, and what the meaning for our understanding of reality might be. See the video of this show.

Are UFOs reaching out to us from beyond the stars or from beyond the grave? This seemingly bizarre question is present in both ancient folklore and modern thought, and is the focus of our discussion with author and pioneering paranormal researcher Joshua Cutchin. A basic question among many that came up: Is the paranormal all about death, or is it all about life? See the video of this show.

Paul (Ben took the day off) welcomed Dr. Lynne Kitei, leading researcher on the dramatic and mysterious Phoenix Lights UFOs, to her first appearance on the show in 10 years to give us an update. Discussion ranged from her first close-up experience with the lights in 1995, through appearances witnessed by thousands and the accusations of hoaxes, to what's happening today. See the video of this show.
