We have some folks living in Laredo that seem to be existing in their own private world. They talk to people the rest of us can't see. They behave in a manner most of us consider crazy. There are way too many Street People considering the size and location.

Where does our mind go, late at night, while we slumber? Many cultures believe dreams come from the gods. Some dreams might be warnings of bad things in our futures. Here is what I could find about how our minds can be entertaining, or confusing.

There aren't many companies that have their own army and navy. The East India Co. was granted the power to seize land, ships, and enslave people. They shipped tons of opium into China to control the public. They invaded parts of India in the name of making money. There never was, and hopefully never will be, a company like it.

Many years ago, I was a paramedic. I had many hours of training in both emergency departments and ambulances before I became a Wilderness Medic. Here are some of the weird. unexpected, things I encountered while trying to save lives without getting killed.

In times of war, people see and do unimaginable things. The rules no longer seem to apply. People have reported seeing and doing things the folks back home consider unbelievable. Here are a few stories from Europe during the conflict.

In the 1500s, European sailors and explorers reported encountering giants, some up to twelve feet tall, in Patagonia, the southern tip of South America. The folks back home thought they were seeing things or outright lying. A giant was captured to take back as evidence, but it broke lose while out at sea. The crew was forced to kill him. The body was mummified using salt. When people saw this unbelievable creature, they decided Patagonia was not a safe place to visit. What amazed people about this huge man, was he had two heads. There is a body on display in Baltimore, many say it's a fake. Was the original creature real, or just a manufactured sideshow attraction?

Some kids have invisible friends that come and play with them. Sometimes these friends are seen by others. Are these being all in the mind, or is there more to it.

I was asked about the Albatwitch, and the Vegetable Man. I'd never heard of either, so I did what I do, I researched. The Albatwitch is a small, hairy creature that eats apples. The Vegetable Man was an alien that attacked a man in 1975. I also looked into the Beast of Bladenboro, the Dark Watchers, and the Hodag. Here are some little-known encounters with the strange.

Some folks are waiting with their breath held tight for the government to tell the truth about UFOs. As long as certain people are running things from behind the scenes, I don't believe this will ever happen.

Why is a chemical, known as a hazardous substance, being put into our water systems as well as many items found at the grocery store. Is there any real health benefit, or is this being done as a means of affecting our brains.

Who is really running our world? Who told them they had the right to tell us what was best for our families? Here is something to keep in mind when weird things go on that make little to no sense.

People have seen some weird things on our planet. Things the scientists say don't exist. Yet, people see them. Here are some things to watch out for, as you go about your day to day existence.

For thousands of years people have seen and wrote about, huge flying creatures that looked and sounded like dragons. Some feared these monsters while others considered them a part of nature. Listen up and see what you think.

Right around 1915, the folks in Hollywood began working with the government to get the United States Citizens, ready to go to war. This endeavor continued during World War II. The military found recruitment improved when people were shown war movies. At some point, the people in Hollywood began disguising truth with fiction. Putting out secret projects as fiction so people would get the two confused. This is a confusing mess we live in today.

How does dowsing, or using a pendulum work? Is there any real benefit in lucky charms? Why do people fear Friday the 13? I'll look into whether there is magic involved or is this some natural phenomena. 42 has more significance than Douglas Adams thought.

For thousands of years people have been seeing creatures in or near the water that look like half human, half fish beings. Some have described them as monsters, that had huge mouths filled with sharp teeth. Others say these creatures were beautiful females. With so many sightings we have to wonder, is there a race living in the oceans that just might see us as a food source.

Does our government or our military have soldiers stationed in outer space? Some say as far back as the 1950s, our president signed a treaty with aliens from some distant star system, allowing experiments on civilians so the military could get their hands on secret technology.

Eric joins me from Cape Cod, Massachusetts, to talk about his book, "High Strangeness." A story about a UFO skeptic, who finds himself in the middle of an actual UFO flap. It's a fun read with a twist.

Many folks say, Bigfoot is a flesh and blood creature. They ignore all the stories of Sasquatch vanishing from sight or being accompanied by bright lights or UFOs. Here are a few stories that add the paranormal to the mix.

The ability to do things using Natural Power has been with us since recorded time. Some use the "Right Hand Path" for healing and helping others. Some go to the "Left" to gain power and do harm. Here is a brief rundown on magic and how it has been around forever.

From 1950 up until 1991, the NATO nations and the Soviet Bloc nations were at war. No jets attacked each other's armies, no bombers rains death and destruction down on their cities. The "war" was cold. Massive weapons were stockpiles to a point the world could be wiped out dozens of times. Trillions of dollars were wasted on trying to get the upper hand. The only ones to benefit were the folks making weapons. Was there really a war or was it all done to scare us into following their orders.

Do books hold power? Is fiction just a story to entertain? I'll look into some of the books out there that can let you travel through the universe, or control demons.

What is waking people up at night, scarring them so badly, some...have died. Is the shadow government conducting mind control experiments which has led to deaths. Could there be demons sneaking about interfering with our lives. People have been injured by beings they couldn't see. Here are some stories to think about next time you awake to some mysterious sound.

Way back in the days of no TV or radio, people would gather together on December 24, to visit, enjoy a huge dinner, drink a few too many drinks, and then...sit around the fire p0lace telling ghost stories. How this got started is anyone's guess, but if you'd like to revisit times when life was simple, and entertainment was live, here is your start to an old tradition.

Here are a few stories for those of you getting ready for Christmas but with a bizarre sense of humor.
