Mysterious Universe is a weekly podcast featuring fascinatingly strange reports from all over the world.
The mystery of cattle mutilations continues to baffle even the most seasoned researchers, with no clear answers despite decades of investigation. While some high-profile cases grab the headlines, it’s often the lesser-known incidents that reveal the strangest and most telling patterns. In this episode, we head to a remote farm in North Dakota to examine a chilling series of events that may be one of the most compelling links between UFO activity and humanoid mutilators. Reports include strange aerial lights, triangle-shaped craft emitting bendable beams, scorched livestock, and a teenage eyewitness who claims to have confronted—and shot—an entity in a gleaming metallic suit. We also revisit the eerie recurrence of silver-suited beings in both modern UFO lore and folkloric accounts, and uncover one of the wildest mutilation stories we’ve ever heard.
Then for our Plus+ members, we dive into the surreal world of fictional incursions. What happens when characters imagined by authors begin to appear in real life? Drawing on Joshua Cutchin’s latest work, we explore thoughtform manifestations, haunted writers, and creative entities that may have minds of their own.

The theory of ultraterrestrials—non-human intelligences that reside in hidden subterranean realms and subtly influence human affairs—has long been overshadowed by the more popular extraterrestrial hypothesis. But what if the so-called space visitors contactees described in the 1950s and beyond were actually ancient breakaway civilizations from Earth itself? We dive into the rich history of crypto-terrestrial lore, from secret underground bases to deceptive spirit board messages, and explore how these beings might be hiding in plain sight.
Then, for our Plus+ members, we unravel the terrifying tale of a family plagued by a malevolent poltergeist calling itself “Prince.” Was its arrival triggered by innocent curiosity, or was something far more sinister unleashed from within the home—and the human psyche?

This week, we uncover a series of chilling encounters that blur the boundaries between alien abduction and ghostly haunting. From the UK’s strangest archives, reports emerge of shadowy beings invading bedrooms, missing time linked to fog-shrouded roads, and apparitions mingling with classic extraterrestrial phenomena. Are these entities disguising their true nature? Or are hauntings and abductions just different masks of the same force? We also dive into cursed waters, haunted shipwrecks, and bizarre underwater apparitions before exploring prophetic trolls, disinformation hoaxes, and ancient apocalyptic predictions in our Plus+ extension.

A wave of viral speculation has swept across social media following claims by an Italian research team that new satellite-based radar technology has revealed vast hidden structures beneath Egypt’s Giza Plateau. Enormous underground cylinders, spiral shafts, and five mysterious chambers allegedly lie beneath the Pyramid of Khafre—some even linking them to the legendary Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean. But does the data hold up under scrutiny? And where is the promised evidence?
We break down the wild claims, the strange cast of characters, and the very real science behind the tech—while asking: is this a revolutionary discovery… or just another echo from the esoteric fringe?
Then in our Plus+ extension, we dive into the depths with a look at invisible residents—unidentified submerged objects (USOs), strange water-based anomalies, and the theory that we may be sharing our oceans with a hidden aquatic intelligence.

Is Earth truly the product of random cosmic events, or could it have been deliberately designed by a superintelligence? Authors Christopher Knight and Alan Butler argue that our planet, the Moon, and even the asteroid Ceres form a mathematically precise structure—one that suggests an intelligent force engineered our world as a living incubator. But why?
Their latest book, They Built the Earth, expands on their previous work, revealing how the perfect orbital ratios, astronomical alignments, and encoded measurements in our solar system may contain a hidden message for humanity—one that must be understood for our species to survive. We explore their shocking conclusions, NASA’s mysterious obsession with Ceres, and whether the destruction of an ancient planet in our solar system was part of an intentional cosmic blueprint.
Then, for our Plus+ members, we take a deep dive into the “Instinct” behind high strangeness—a force that may actively shape reality to prevent humanity from falling into spiritual decay. Could reports of Bigfoot wearing clothes, shape-shifting entities, and trickster-like paranormal encounters be part of an ancient, self-regulating mechanism designed to keep us in check?

In this episode, we examine a chilling case of a woman abducted by hooded beings, subjected to strange rituals, and left with physical scars and fragmented memories. Were these visitors extraterrestrial, interdimensional, or something else entirely?

American culture is everywhere, shaping everything from entertainment to fast food—but could its most profound influence be something far more unsettling? Across the globe, from Hong Kong to Japan, Western mental health concepts are spreading, often replacing traditional ways of understanding distress. Depression, PTSD, and eating disorders are appearing in regions where they were once rare, raising the question: is this organic, or is something more deliberate at play?
In this episode, we dive into the unsettling case from Japan, where pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline saw an untapped market for antidepressants and set out to change the nation’s perception of sadness itself. Through marketing, media manipulation, and cultural rebranding, they turned “feeling down” into a medical condition overnight—selling billions in pills along the way. Could this be an example of a memetic virus, an idea so powerful that it rewires an entire society’s approach to mental illness?
Then, for our Plus+ members, we uncover reports of bizarre shape-shifting UFOs, eerie green mist that seems to transport people between dimensions, and chilling encounters with dark entities that should have never been summoned.

Suppressed by the CIA, the notable works of Chan Thomas are often dismissed as "conspiracy theories" and "pseudoscience," but they are finally starting to gain the attention of modern researchers. Could the Earth have some kind of reset cycle that, through planetary forces, regularly creates cataclysms that keep humanity in check? Could this reset cycle be occurring now, and are elite groups trying to keep this knowledge secret?
Also, for our Plus+ members, we consider the trope of building a home on a graveyard and explore how the story behind the 1980s film Poltergeist may have a very real background.
