Paranormal News Insider Radio Discusses Pixie Bones

A week on and the story of the Pixie skeleton is still doing the rounds in the US.  This week it was covered by The Paranormal Insider Radio Show which is hosted by Dr. Brian D. Parsons who has a wide background in paranormal investigation, UFOlogy, and cryptozoology, is an author of six books and is a public speaker on a variety of topics.

Dr Parsons contacted me prior to the show to ask if I had further information on the Pixie.  I pointed him towards my last blog post and until the German facility releases more information we're kind of all left in the dark.  Personally, I'm under the impression we will never hear from them again and the bones now reside boxed up in some huge warehouse alongside the Ark of the Covenant and a myriad of other artifacts that the government don't want us to know the truth about.

The Pixies is discussed from 18:00.

You can also listen to episode 7 of The Mystic Menagerie Podcast where Freddie Valentine and I talk about the Pixie bones for the very first time (starts 17:00)

Pixie Skeleton Mystery Reappears in the US

Almost 2 years after The Mystic Menagerie Podcast ran the Cornish Pixie Remains story, it has reemerged in the USA. Like all the great British TV comedies, the original story and images have been recycled for the American audience by a mysterious chap called James Cornan of Wilmington, North Carolina. Other than the location, the story of the Pixie skeleton discovery was copied verbatim and submitted to the 'Pictures in History' Facebook page where it was picked up by the US press. The newspapers didn't have to dig far before they realised it was initially featured on this blog back in 2016 and not only linked the page but also named me as the originator.

I'd personally like to thank James Cornan, The Charlotte Observer, The Asheboro Courier Tribune, The News & Observer, and the Pictures in History Facebook page for giving this story the exposure it deserves. Although the story was a hit in Japan and featured on prime time TV (see below), it failed to gain traction in the UK and Europe, but it appears that it has been a hit in the US. The Facebook article has been seen by 18K people, received 2K comments and been shared 25K times.  Assuming a simple reach of 50 people per share, it’s been seen by 1,250,000 people. My blog page also received a staggering 17K views in one day and the Youtube video has be viewed 53K times.

The Pixie bones now reside in a secure facility in Germany where biological specimens that defy conventional science are stored. The mystery of the Pixie bones has never been solved and remains one of this century's greatest mysteries.

I'm on Bad Acid...

Bad Acid

I'm very proud to credited as an Occult Consultant on 'Bad Acid', the debut short film from writer/director David Chaudoir.

The story of a washed up cabaret hypnotist, it blends hypnotic suggestion, hallucination and demonic apparition in a wry, tragically comedic, dark fantasy, exploring the fleeting nature of fame. Marvin gets what he wished for, but not in the way that he wanted.

Bad Acid references the magical number three; three failed performances, three wishes and finally three deaths.

Bad Acid is the writer/director’s love letter to the films of Amicus and Hammer from the 1970s.

David Chaudoir, writer/director, has worked for 25 years in UK Broadcast Television and associated crafts. He has directed award winning promotions for “The Walking Dead” and “The Wire” and music videos for bands such as Athlete and Starsailor.

Sukey Richardson, producer, has produced/production-managed a range of features, documentaries, commercials and short films including Toby Stephen’s In Vitro (2015).

Bad Acid stars Tristan Beint as deluded narcisist Marvin Maskelyn, Madeleine Bowyer as his long suffering manager and Tiffany Haynes as the ill fated Bella. Detective Chetwyn is played by William Kempsell.

Those attending Doomsday South in November will also be privileged to see a private screening as well as meet David. We also interviewed him in the pre-production phase on The Mystic Menagerie Podcast Episode 7.

The Mystic Menagerie Podcast Episode 19 - Mat Fraser from American Horror Story, Arthur Uther Pendragon & Portals

Some of you may or may not be aware that I am the producer and co-host of the highly successful Mystic Menagerie Podcast, a monthly delve into the alternative arts, paranormal and fortean news from around the globe.

This month we interview Mat Fraser, star of American Horror Story Freakshow. Mat was born with phocomelia of both arms, due to his mother being prescribed thalidomide during her pregnancy. Rather than see this as a disability Mat has embraced life and over the years has achieved theatrical notoriety, performed with Coldplay during the Paralympics and stared in numerous films and TV shows around the world.

We also have the honour of being knighted live on air by Arthur Uther Pendragon, eco-campaigner and battle chieftain of the Council of British Druid Orders. King Arthur tells us about his activism at Stonehenge and how he became the great man he is today.

In our regular feature with the Fortean Oracle – Nathan Sarea, we discuss interdimensional portals and the possibility of their existence. Recording this section of the podcast was plagued with technical difficulties we had never previously experienced. Missing audio files, mysterious tones and signal dropouts made us aware we were dabbling in a corner of the occult that might be best left alone!
