Maybe paranormal needs a Reverse Occam’s Razor: the most complicated explanation—grounded in psychology, perception & memory—is right. Easier to say “I saw a ghost” than unpack why your brain made one. (3/3) @danny_robins@_EvelynHollow@ciaranokeeffe@uncannypodlive
“It was a ghost” is the easy answer. Harder is asking: was I primed, tired, anxious; could perception or memory be at fault? The complex, uncomfortable explanations are often the real ones. (2/3) @danny_robins@_EvelynHollow@ciaranokeeffe@uncannypodlive
Re-listening to Uncanny from S1 to now, I’ve noticed a striking number of witnesses who work in healthcare — doctors, nurses, carers, mental-health pros. Coincidence, or linked to living in that liminal space between life & death?

@danny_robins I’m sure you have answered this 1 billion times, but when is the next season of TV uncanny podcast returning??
The season feels right but I’m craving new episodes! I’m having to re-listen to all seasons to get my fix at the moment but would love a new series!
Paying 3x more for ChatGPT Teams than I did for Plus — and I lost key functionality. ChatGPT can’t reference prior threads anymore. Can’t downgrade. No fix. @sama this is not OK for professional users. Please fix thread memory across Teams chats. #ChatGPT
@danny_robins queued up for 25mins to get tickets to the Poole gig as I got the original email, then the person said I needed a presale code!There wasn’t one in the email so I can’t get tickets :-(
Apparently a separate email was sent with presale codes but I didn’t receive it
@danny_robins Could the Mandela Effect actually explain how we recall ghostly experiences? Would love to hear your thoughts on this—it feels like something worth exploring! #MandelaEffect#Uncanny (2/2)
@danny_robins I think you’ve been hit by the Mandela Effect! In several Uncanny episodes, you mention the charred leg photo in the Usborne World of the Unknown: Ghosts book. I remember it vividly too! But I found my original 70s edition &, shockingly, the photo isn’t there. (1/2)
@danny_robins (4 of 4)… unbelievably granular detail. Casting no aspersions on you Danny, you are epic, but my bull 💩 meter is going off HARD with Fred. There are TONNES of witnesses with far far more compelling experiences. Fred is in it for the fame IMO
@danny_robins (3 of 3) then why didn’t they just burst into the cabin, or ambush and kill them when they made a dash…nothing lines up. Fred has come out of the woodwork on tonnes of pods in the last few months telling fantastical tale upon fantastical tale, often in…
@danny_robins (2 of 3) I am utterly fascinated by Sasquatch and Bigfoot and have read/listened to almost everything available on them: his account is unlike any (other than Ape Canyon) that I’ve ever heard of, if they were as big and powerful as Fred claims (14ft tall!?!?!?)…
@danny_robins (1 of 3) I genuinely love Uncanny, epic podcast. But, the latest two episodes with Fred I smell a large amount of Bull💩 . The account was far far too fantastical, way too similar to the Ape Canyon incident, and remembered in far too much depth, it strains credulity
@SomeRingPod @LoganPaul He really is an asshole. I mean, kinda perfect though, all he has to be is himself to fulfil the heel role. He’s kinda screwed when they want to pivot to him being a face, I think that’s wholly out of his capability, he’s king of the jocks
