Welcome to episode 49 of The Paranormal Rundown! Our guest this episode is Ryan Kralik, the author of a forthcoming book called It From Us – An Information-First Framework and the Purpose of Consciousness. Ryan has a fascinating theory about reality, where existence is built on information, not matter or consciousness. He has shared his ideas and incorporated feedback from people like Hal Puthoff, Rupert Sheldrake, Dean Radin, and Ed Kelly, and published articles about this framework in Ancient Origins and on his website, itfromus.com. Our conversation takes a deep dive into paranormal phenomena, quantum mechanics, and even social structures and religions as a way to manage coherance within the system. We learn a little about Vic's mind as a child, Ryan's personal experiences with Remote Viewing, and even how Star Trek is Information First! Along the way we discuss UFO, Being Antitheist, Santa Clause, Remote Viewing, Rewriting Reality, UAP Materials, Religious Dogma, Human Motivations, Frank Tipler's Omega Point, and more. While this isnt a typical Rundown, full of random selections from The List, we think you will really enjoy this discussion on reality, the paranormal, and how it all might just be founded on an Information First Substrate.

You can find Ryan's contact information, articles, and latest blog posts at https://www.itfromus.com/

David is still too distracted to get his act together and start his own podcast... maybe someday.

Welcome to Episode 48 of The Paranormal Rundown! This episode our Very Special, Skeptical Guest is David's oldest son Jacob! He digs into paranormal ideas with us, offering clear, non-paranormal alternatives. We dive into Clowns and Coulrophobia, Masks, Haunted Dolls, and the experiences of Fr. Mike at a New Orleans Voodoo Shop and with a Witch Doctor in Belize. Along the way, Vic shows us an unscrupulous delinquent he can be on Facebook, with both he and Fr. Mike trying their best to corrupt a very smart, innocent young man! Additional topics include The Uncanny Valley, Steven King's Writing Process, Cryptid Clowns, Genetic Memory and Butterflies, Victor's Fraudulent Haunted Doll, Facebook's Haunted Doll Community, Anabelle, Robert The Doll, VooDoo Shop Sickness, St. Augustine Haunts, UFOs, Belize Witchcraft and Garifuna, Physical vs Spiritual Presence, and much more. We are sure you will enjoy the thoughtful consideration Jacob brings, so be sure to let us know if you want him to come back in future episodes (Not to replace David).

Also, we want to make you aware of some changes taking place in the near future. First, we will be migrating our podcast to Spotify in the next week or so. So please contact us if you have any issues with downloads or episodes. This should be transparent, but you never know. In addition, we will be changing the cadence of episodes from bi-monthly to bi-weekly. So there will be a couple more episodes a year, and we will shoot for a consistent rollout of every other Wednesday. We have a lot of great episodes coming up, so please tune in!

If you would like to have a fun, deep, wandering discussion on the paranormal, please email us at feedback@paranormalrundown.com , and be a guest on the show!
