When it comes to unexplained phenomena, it is just that. Unexplained. We try to approach this from as many different ways as possible, and to throw out the assumptions that have driven research for a very long time. These strange experiences people have, no matter what you want to label or catagorize them as, are real in some way. They have been reported throughout history and across cultures. If nothing else, they are a very Human experience. None of the theories we have may even come close to divining what we are actually experiencing, if they did, we would have some answers. We do not know what Reality is, what life or death are, or truly why we are here. We do know that our senses filter much out, and our memories do not work like we think they do. New approaches are needed if we are ever to make any progress at all in understanding what we are interacting with. Some of that comes from understanding ourselves, and some of that comes from having a truly open mind in confronting those things that defy explanation. We need new eyes, perspectives, and better questions. That is the goal of Where Did the Road Go? To go places that have not been tread before, and explore new things from new angles. To leave the well worn road, and wander...
Jeff Ritzmann and Wren Collier join me to discuss the idea that belief creates a gateway for the paranormal. We get into some pretty dark ideas, and also talk research methods and what is most effective...
Find Jeff at The Numinous Den and find Wren at Liminal Room.
Outro music is "Legends" by The Will.
We discuss how my views of various phenomena have changed over the years, and even in the last year. This leads to discussions of all kinds of things, including potential life on Mars. Truly all over the place with this one... Enjoy!
Wren can be found at Liminal Room.
Joshua can be founr at his website.
Outro Music is Black Eyes by David Wirsig.

In this episode Timothy introduces James, his new partner for paranormal investigations – and a voice you’ll be hearing a lot more on Strange Familiars. They talk about some weird happenings from James’ childhood: Were bigfoot creatures stalking around his family home? What was the strange thing is father saw crouched along Toad Road? (They also promised to get to some of Timothy’s experiences but ran out of time. Look for those on a future episode.)
