Kenny Biddle experimenting

Kenny Biddle has investigated hauntings, cryptids, and UFOs for years, and has solved many of these cases. He is persistent, patient, and creative, just like any good field investigator. We talked about some of the principles he applies to his work and he gives some examples, from ghosts to Elvis Presley. These principles apply broadly to solving any mystery. Our topics included EVP, photography, and serial experiencers.

We ask for sketches, and here is some scientific support of that practice

We encourage our witness to make sketches as soon as possible after their sightings – before they contact us, and certainly before they discuss any details with other witnesses. This is true regardless of whether there are photos or videos. Now, some new research at University of Waterloo in Canada lends some scientific support to this practice. They found that drawing is superior to other memory retention techniques. So, not only does making a sketch help us understand what witnesses saw, it helps the witnesses retain their memory better.

We hope this will be followed up by more research that will help us understand in more detail how the sketch reinforces or affects witness memories.

Veteran paranormal investigator Kenny Biddle will be on API Conversations soon, and we would like to ask him some of your questions. You can learn more about Kenny by watching some of his YouTube series. We imagine that this may be a bit controversial, since Kenny has debunked many frauds over the years, and not everyone is happy about that.

See if you can stump him, or ask him what he thinks of your favorite cryptid or ghost hunting TV show.

Please get all questions in before 26 December 2018, as we expect to record the Conversation after the Christmas holiday.

While researching his book,  Justin reached out to Marsha in an attempt to get detailed information on API case 12-001. The Witness in this case was the night manager at a hotel on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. On October 14, 2008, both he and the hotel night time security manager were outside talking when they saw a large Triangular UFO rise up from the Horseshoe Falls and silently glide over them.

The most unusual aspect of the case occurred in the early afternoon of May 10th 2009 when two men dressed in black came to the hotel looking for the Manager. Hotel Lobby Security cameras captured a short video snippet of these two men. This footage, made available during the original investigation, is perhaps the ONLY known case of genuine MIB captured on video.

Justin has written the most complete accounting of this case covering not only the original UFO sighting and the accounts supplied by the hotel employees who interacted with the men in black, but also in-depth information gathered directly from the Witness detailing a long series of unusual paranormal and anomalous experiences. And this fascinating story is but one in a book filled with unusual and provocative true, first-hand accounts of weirdness.
During this podcast, Marsha and the author discuss his book, The Spectrum, and examine a wide range of topics encompassing UFO’s, anomalies, and paranormal experiences.
Justin works in Marketing and Design and lives in the Philadelphia area. He writes a blog and maintains a website, Normal Paranormal.
