On episode 278 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Ryan reports LIVE from the inaugural Midwest Conference on the Unknown in Cape Girardeau, MO! You'll hear exclusive interviews on site with paranormal power couple, Tobias and Emily Wayland of the Singular Fortean Society, as we hear all about their recent and latest investigations into winged flying creatures, UFOs, and a possible mer-man! We then switch gears and have a fascinating discussion with noted cryptozoologist, Ken Gerhard, about the evidence supporting the existence of the Loch Ness Monster and Bigfoot. We also discuss the possible connections between Bigfoot sightings and UFOs. Then, Ryan chats with researcher, Joshua Cutchin, about his latest books concerning UFOs as a death symbol, in what he's titled, Ecology of Souls: A New Mythology of Death & the Paranormal. We then wrap things up with an exciting conversation with the "Liminal Librarian" herself, Courtney Block, as she traces the history of underrepresented paranormal researchers of the past, and the future of paranormal research as we continue to explore the unknown. You've been granted a front seat to what Ryan and the rest of the speakers and attendees experienced at this highly successful conference, with plenty more to come!
