Belief Hole | Paranormal, Mysteries and Other Tasty Thought Snacks

Show Notes

REAL encounters with fairies, gnomes, and the hidden folk of 'legend' are still encountered by hundreds of people around the world every year. Some of these experiences are the stuff of nightmares- many echoing Missing 411 style mysterious disappearances.

Is it possible that the Huldufolk of Iceland, the Nisse of Scandinavia, the Sharp-toothed, people-eating Nirumbee of the Crow and Kowi Anukasha of the Choctaw in North America are not mere fairy tales told to warn of the dangers of the wood, but real entities to respect and fear?

Join us tonight, as we draw disturbing parallels between these hidden beings, examine dark fairy close encounters, and explore the recent discovery of a mushroom compound that reveals strange tiny people for 96% of those who are exposed to it. Join us tonight as we investigate the dangers and disappearances through the fairy door.
