Women In Black/ California Occultist

First half: You've heard of the Men in Black, mysterious men dressed in black suits who claim to be government agents and who harass or threaten UFO witnesses to keep them quiet. But have you heard of the Women in Black? UFO and paranormal researcher, Nick Redfern, will join George Knapp to discuss the dark and disturbing evidence surrounding the WIB including stories of their involvement with alien abductions, Mothman, time-travel, and the dark domain of all things supernatural.

Second half: In 1919, a Canadian teenager with a sixth grade education arrived by train to the wilds of Los Angeles. Within a decade he had transformed himself into a world-renowned occult scholar. His name was Manly Palmer Hall, author of the landmark publication The Secret Teachings of All Ages, regarded as the best introduction to Western esoteric ideas, and the founder of the Philosophical Research Society. LA Times staff writer, Louis Sahagun will discuss how Hall became the twentieth century’s most prolific writer and speaker on ancient philosophies, mysticism and magic, including his strangulation death in what remains an open-ended Hollywood murder mystery.
