The world is more mysterious than most people are comfortable imagining. We cross paths with the mystical from time to time and may not even notice it.

Did I need 6, nay 7 episodes of the PGF? Nay. But I now consider myself an expert in any subject Scott & Forrest choose to multi-part. If you love Fortean good times, you will LOVE this pod. All things strange & weird and the minutia behind them. This is how the strange should be studied!
