Pascagoula: Two Fishermen Said a UFO Took Them - Deceptive Reality Podcast S4E41
Two fishermen reported pale beings that glided above the riverbank—and an encounter they could barely explain afterward.
On October 11, 1973, Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker reported a UFO encounter beside Mississippi’s Pascagoula River. Bert and Nick follow their account from the blue light and pincer-like hands to an eye-like instrument Hickson said moved over his motionless body. Then comes the sheriffs-office recording: the officers leave, but the recorder keeps running.
The conversation also explores Parkers later recollections and why this recording stays with the hosts. Encounter details remain witness reports; the recording does not independently establish an abduction.
Entertainment and discussion of reported experiences. Respect the privacy of witnesses and their families; do not contact or harass anyone connected with the case.

The Ghosts of Flight 401 - Deceptive Reality Podcast S4E39
An airline captain sits quietly in first class. He looks like he belongs there. Then someone recognizes him as a man who died in the crash of Eastern Air Lines Flight 401.
On December 29, 1972, a routine flight from New York to Miami ended in the Florida Everglades. Bert and Nick follow the crew through the landing-gear warning, the unnoticed descent, and the rescue before turning to the stories that circulated afterward: reported appearances by Captain Bob Loft and flight engineer Don Repo aboard other aircraft, a face in a galley oven, and a warning about fire.
We follow the disputed claim that salvaged components carried something more than spare parts into other airplanes. Could a haunting remain attached to an object? And why do so many of these accounts describe the men as still trying to protect the people aboard?
The accident is documented. The hauntings are reported accounts associated with John G. Fullers The Ghost of Flight 401 and later retellings.
