Ep 28: BEKs And One Complete Psychic
In a rare turn of events, Hids kicks the episode off this week! They're sharing the possible urban legend of Black Eyed Kids! Are they just a viral story or are the reported encounters real? Are they aliens? (It's always aliens) We take a look at the alleged original encounter in 1996, but also talk about some historical mentions of children with black eyes. You can decide if you think they're real or not, but whatever you do, if a strange child shows up and demands to be let inside your home or car...don't let them in!
Do you have ESP? Hids might... Jess did a little experiment to kick of her discussion of Extra Sensory Perception, and Hids got 3 of 5 correct!! Jess tells us about JB Rhyne, the person that coined the term and his 30-odd years of experimentation and study at Duke University. Jess also ended up yet again on the FBI website...seriously, we are visiting that site a lot lately....
