fact or fiction

Is it science fact or science fiction? Futurism presents both sides to determine the truth.

The 'Unexplained Mysteries' Podcast
The Unexplained Mysteries podcast is a weekly podcast devoted to answering the questions of some of the most intriguing mysteries of our time. The series' stories range from ancient times to the modern era—everything from UFOs, vampires, The Bermuda Triangle, and other related phenomena. However, the series does investigate other topics other than the paranormal; archeology and medical science mysteries are discussed as well, while some shows are devoted to missing persons and unexplained deaths.

Psychic Attack
Psychic attack is the meanest thing we earth humans can do to each other. It involves thoughts becoming things, and sending a lethal negative thought to someone becomes possible. Some thinketh that thoughts are things. Thoughts are real and can harm somebody. My family is into sending out negative thought forms to me, which I have to neutralize all the time. Psychic attack is a way to use the energy of thought to harm somebody. It is a deliberate attack as deliberate as mean words, snide remarks, sarcasm, and other forms of emotional abuse including rudeness.

We Have All Time Traveled
You know that feeling of déjà vu? When something feels so familiar, you must have experienced it before? We have all felt it at some time or another. Sometimes it is a little thing like a place you have never been to seeming familiar. Other times it is a big thing where you hear someone speaking and you know what they will say and how you will answer because it is like watching a scene from a movie for a second time. We have all felt it and passed it off as just an odd occurrence. But what if it is something more happening? What if that sense of déjà vu is actually a sign of how the whole space time continuum works?

Attack of the Jellied Whatsits
Alien encounters are pretty boring these days. Usually, they involve big-headed, black-eyed "Greys" coming into your bedroom, swooping down on your vehicle, or, in some other way, plucking you out of your normal, waking life, to throw your luckless butt into the saucer (or triangle, or indistinct sort-of flying lightship), and giving you a medical exam.

How Kinetic Abilities Are Really Supposed to Work (Telekinesis and More)
The mind and body are constantly communicating. We don’t think about how natural it is until we try out our mental energy on something that isn’t inherently natural to us, but some people have tried and supposedly succeeded in making the inanimate animated without physical strength. Telekinesis, also known as psychokinesis, is described as, “…The ability to mentally influence objects or conditions in the absence of intervening physical energy or intermediary instrumentation,” (Weschcke and Slate 2016). Basically, mind over matter.

Chemtrails
At first, it may seem like just another conspiracy theory, dreamed up by idle and paranoid ne’er-do-wells. But then, we see too much of what looks like evidence, too many publications, too much cover-up, not enough forthrightness, and of course … we see the cobwebs in the sky.

Am I Crazy? Or Is There a Time-Traveler Lurking Around?
I have a prescription to fill, and it's more tinfoil for my hat. You ever get that itchy feeling that something's not quite right? Are you certain something happened a certain way, or a certain something existed? But when you check your resources, it's completely different than what you remember? Don't worry, you're not going crazy. Some people may think you are. Some people may think I am while reading this. They may offer more than just the extra tinfoil to touch up the rusty parts in my hat. They may have you or me fitted for a straight jacket. But I'm telling you, something fishy's going on.

Justified Paranoia
Over the last month, I have been driven… compelled… to talk about my experiences as a person who has interacted with extraterrestrial beings, or a contactee. Some people call this phenomenon “abductions” and the people involved “abductees.” Some people say we are “experiencers.” I say what I have witnessed, experienced, endured, is real—real to me—valid, and has shaped me into the person I am today.

The Human Harvest
Is this normal? Does every woman experience pregnancy symptoms all the time? I have been wondering this for years. As a newlywed, the late period, the swollen and tender breasts, the need for a million hours more sleep made a lot of sense. At 43 it wasn’t a completely welcome idea, but it was also a beautiful thing to consider and I started to feel really excited about the possibility of bringing another child into the world.
