We all have heard of HAARP and it's mysterious government association. Conspiracy Theorists say it is a weather control system that is easily capable of being a top-end military weapon comparable to our nation's nuclear arsenal. Skeptics say this is a joke, and it's just a little research station that has nothing to do with the weather or atmosphere. Tonight, we dig deep into what IS HAARP? Who controls it, and who's to gain from it.

Most all of the western world grew up hearing of Satan, the Devil, titles allocated to a Fallen Archangel named Lucifer, described as The Morning Star'...but if we actually dig into the ancient theological works, this is in fact, not what we are told at all. Who changed it, when, and far greater question than that, 'If Lucifer isn't Satan, then WHO IS?!'

Shadow People...Like a black cloud, are they ghosts that are almost solid? Unlike conventional ghosts, the gray, misty often highly-detailed images of people long past, the Shadow People are consistently reported as having almost no features, no details, save two: glowing red eyes and on occassion, horns. If they're ghosts, why the different appearance? If they aren't ghosts, why are they always reported to be like the silhouettes of humans and nothing else? Reports claim that they are becoming more manifest as time goes on, more detailed. If they're not ghosts, then what are they?

We have heard of cryptids, and heard the skeptic line against even considering them, but few consider the worldwide span of the impact of cryptids. So, even if you doubt the existence of Nessie, how about Champ, or Chessie, or Tessie or, well, you get the idea. At what point are there enough national or global sightings of a specific creature before credibility is given and skepticism eliminated? Why are so many creature species potentially being ignored by 'mainstream science', and what will it take to actually study them in earnest?

We've heard of missing time, but in this episode we get to hear of a recounted event of REAL missing time, finally remembered after 20-years of fighting to remember what happened that fateful day. Men-in-Black, Government agents, intelligence or something far beyond our conventional understanding? We'll let you be the judge of what this really means.

We're hearing it constantly anymore, 'The Mandela Effect', but what is it? Where did it start from? What are the implications and where is it taking us? So many questions, regarding something so very hard to prove. Is someone tampering with the very essence of the timeline-of-existence, or is someone tampering with our history, our data, and making a joke out of our human memory and cognizance in the process? If so, why?

We've heard the legend of the Mothman, a creature that for 13-months, from November 1966 until December 1967, frequented the Silver Bridge of West Virginia, until the fateful day when the bridge unexpectedly collapsed. After the collapse, the creature was no longer seen. Did it die in the collapse? Did it cause the collapse, or was it merely a portent of the tragedy to come? Is this a 'new cryptid' we had not heard of before, or as legend of the hills of West Virginia told, did it have an ancient root source that few want to discuss?

A Recap of some of our most-popular podcasts, our favorite podcasts and our most overlooked podcasts that we think our listeners would like if they gave them a try. For a quick overview of each, plus teasers on soon-to-release shows, ways to hear us, and how to get the most out of your Ratfiles Experience!

We have all heard the touted benefits of electric cars recently, but with them being promised as 'the perfect mobility answer', what are the downsides? If they charge on household current, what should we then consider about their demand on electricity, and what do we need to know about our electric power grid that might significantly change our viewpoint about electric cars? If coal is over 30-percent of our power generating fuel currently in use, doesn't this make electricity dirtier as a whole than petroleum to start with? How clean are lithium mines where the components for the giant batteries are made, and what is the ecological impact when considered as a whole?

CROATOAN - A word carved into a fencepost over 430 years ago in a place long-lost to most. Tonight, we conclude the history of the Lost Colony of Roanoke, looking into supporting facts seldom, if ever considered by mainstream researchers. From a clear Croatian tie-in, to native tribal wars and blatant European greed, combined with modern claims to DNA decendency that may or may-not be accurate, we share the information with you and close with our own idea of what most-likely happened to those colonists 430 years ago. Join us to learn what really happened to The Lost Colony.

Tonight in Chapter 2, we continue with our discussion on CROATOAN, the history of the Lost Colony of Roanoke, the implications of their disappearance, who was to gain, and to lose over their disappearance, and we try to cover all the potential 'mainstream' actors that may have had a hand in their disappearance. We close this chapter with a lead-in to 'alternative' ideas on the fate of the Lost Colony, and what may very well have been their fate.

CROATOAN - A word carved into a fencepost over 430 years ago in a place long-lost to most. Hollywood has had fun and made some profit scaring us, but beyond the hype, beyond the scares, beyond the myth - what does it really mean? Who wrote it, where did they go, and who made them seamingly disappear without a trace even to this day? Join the Ratfiles on this 3-part podcast as we delve deep into a true riddle centuries-old, to learn what really happened to The Lost Colony.

We've known about them for years, some of us since they were newly built. Strange giant stones in a rural town in of all places, Georgia, where there are more cows than people, and farmland is everywhere. The UN did the translations for 6-of-the-8 of the languages used on the vertical stones. It serves as a 'doomsday proof' clock and calendar, for those that might come later. Then again, that first commandment is only one of several problems we have with them. The next being, who commissioned them? Why were they really built, and why has no one come forward about them, even now? Genius beyond our understanding, or evil beyond comprehension? Here are the facts, and our own research says...

Worldwide, we've all heard about the topic of 'Climate Change', but where did it originate? Who were the driving forces? What is it based on? Who benefits if we act, and what are the results if we don't? Have we been told the truth, and if not, why have we been lied to or misled? We have so many global problems, is Climate Change actually the most pressing problem we have, if we have it as a problem at all? Tonight, the Ratfiles dives deep into the topic to bring you the information you truly want to know about.

Long forgotten by most of civilization, the idea that the world we live upon is flat, not spherical, has suddenly made a comeback as a topic of discussion - but is it a sarcastic joke, or a valid topic to theorize on? It seems to pop-up in many internet searches, it seems to be in almost every YouTube video search you do, but why? What's driving it? Why does mainstream science not denounce it more vigorously? Is there an agenda, or is this merely the work of the uninformed...or maybe, something else completely?

Hollywood tells you it's a spirit, a possessive force that takes over the body of a man, desperate to survive. In doing so, it drives him to insatiable hunger, a taste for human flesh. Cannibalism. Where did this idea come from? If the original story of the Wendigo is rooted in the Algonquin and Iroquois Native Peoples, then shouldn't we turn to their history to know the truth of this creature first? If we did, we'd see their oldest legends did not call it a spirit, but a giant. A man-eating giant that brought fear to their hearts and decimation to their Tribes. A killer, until they were eradicated. BUT, if this is true, why did the story change? What was this creature, and why do we not tell the original stories now?

Sasquatch sightings occur rather frequently, 2-3 valid reports are submitted each week; but once, every 1-3 years, a report of something 'else' is submitted. A footprint 2-3 feet in length. A tree pulled out by the roots. A piece of excavation equipment overturned. No 1,000-lb animal could do this. Nothing 10-foot tall leaves a 3-foot long footprint. Rare, but there are sightings of 'something else', something MUCH larger. Reports of sightings of things 18, 20, 22 feet tall, even taller have been submitted in our modern age. When events are so rare you can't find enough of them to validate what has been seen, can we turn to history to solve this great riddle, to help us figure out what we are really looking at?

A new cryptid legend, rising from the jungles of Puerto Rico in 1995, it swept across the island quickly - and then BAM! It's worldwide, Brazil, Russia, America - sightings everywhere. But wait, there's more than a bipedal 'goat sucker' being described here. It is described as a 2-legged creature here, a 4-legged canine-like creature there, and every description differs - except for its method of killing small prey. We may have the answer, and it may be something no one saw coming - this one is far more than eye-opening!

Some prophecies are religious, others are by zealots, but what happens when a military defense-analysis company gives you one? You read it, review it, and realize that a projection for the year 2025 shows a few nations will be ok, some will be actually pretty well-off, but there are a few that get economically and socially crushed - and they happen to be the modern, developed nations we know as technology leaders today! Fear-mongering, personal opinion and conjecture, or 'a sly leak of insider information'? You be the judge...
