Paranormal researcher & writer Marcus Lowth (UFO Insight, co-host of The Anomaly Project) joins Kristian Lander & Caroline McKendrick Gibson for a gripping exploration of "the crossover" — the idea that UFOs, alien abductions, poltergeists, cryptids, shadow people, portals and high-strangeness locations may all emerge from the same underlying mechanism or intelligence.

From EM-sensitive hotspots and sulphur odours to personal time slips, grief-triggered activity, trickster entities and consciousness as the key interface — Marcus blends research, historical cases and his own unsettling experiences into one unifying (and provocative) framework.

Whether you lean toward interdimensional tricksters, portal theories or consciousness-driven manifestations, this episode will leave you questioning where one phenomenon ends and another begins.
