SUP YOU BEAUTIFUL KOOOOOOOOOKS! This episode explores the weirdness that is the life and legacy of Ted Owens, a.k.a. "The PK Man"! Perhaps one of, if not THE MOST, well documented individual instance of a man gifted with psychokinetic abilities by space mantises who used his abilities to control the weather and gamble on sporting events. A TALE AS OLD AS TIME! As stated at the beginning of the episode, this is exactly the type of man that this show was made to cover. PLEASE TO ENJOY!

Here's that companion piece I was talking about in the other episode. This one covers (much like the title says) post-Soviet "Para-journalism", urban legends, as well as "urbex legends". It's a mixed bag of stories about abandoned Soviet bioweapons labs, weird physics defying anomalies, fish-man surgical experiments (I ain't hardly bullshittin' neither, check dat shit out!), Kozyrev Mirrors, and a whole bunch of other assorted high strangeness. This episode is brought to you by VODKA...PLEASE TO ENJOY!
