 | | | | | | |  | | Tracking & Mark of the Beast:
In the first half of Tuesday's show, Katherine Albrecht, consumer privacy expert and VP of StartPage.com , discussed the latest technologies being used to track humans, and how this is connected to the mark of the beast, as prophesied in the Bible's book of Revelation. When she was a girl in the 1970s, her grandmother warned of a time when the mark of the beast was coming (not being able to buy or sell without having the mark) and asked her to promise she wouldn't take the mark. Now, as that reality seems to be drawing closer, Albrecht has just released a new Christian-themed children's book, called I Won't Take the Mark which helps other parents and grandparents have that same discussion with their kids.
The increased surveillance in our society could be related to the eventual enforcement of mark of the beast technologies, she remarked. Albrecht also announced the debut of StartMail, a privacy-oriented email program that encrypts users' messages. Citing Google as the biggest threat to people's privacy, she noted that a Google executive said he looks forward to the time they'll have microphones in all of the ceilings in America. Albrecht also cautioned about the use of smart TVs, some of which have built-in microphones and cameras capable of spying on people right in their living rooms.

| | |   | | | Paranormal Investigations:
In the latter half, Andrea Mesich told of her journey from skeptic to paranormal investigator. The turning point for her was a number of dramatic encounters with ghostly activities at her family home in 2004. These included unexplained footsteps, lights being turned on and off, voices calling out her name, and eventually a box flew 8 feet out of the closet, spilling out a bunch of batteries, just as her TV remote control battery had gone dead. The incidents began shortly after her brothers had returned from Gettysburg with several souvenirs, leading to conjecture that spirits were attached to the objects.
Mesich said she prefers to incorporate a scientific approach to her paranormal investigations, conducting experiments to try and recreate specific effects. She detailed one of her most harrowing investigations-- the haunted coal cellar at the old First Ward Schoolhouse in Wisconsin Rapids. Near a wall that had been called a "portal to hell" the temperature dropped and she felt invisible fingers on her throat that started to choke her. Later, she saw a full body apparition of a child wearing knickers. She also spoke about her study of the anomalous Paulding Lights in Michigan, and the differences between spirits and demons.

This somewhat macabre photo gallery features a rare collection of malformed or abnormal brains stored at the University of Texas. Photographed by Adam Voorhes, some of the brains date back to the 1950s, and belonged to patients from Austin State Hospital (once the Texas State Lunatic Asylum).
Today in Strangeness:
On this date in 1976, Bob Marley survived an assassination attempt two days before the "Smile Jamaica" concert aimed at restoring peace amongst warring political factions. Despite fear of a follow-up attack, he would go on to play the concert for a crowd of over 80,000 people. When asked why he was going forward with the concert, Marley famously replied "the people who are trying to make this world worse aren't taking a day off. How can I?"
Tonight's Show, Wednesday, December 3rd:
John L. Casey has been a national space policy advisor to the White House and Congress, a space shuttle engineer, and is currently the President of the Space and Science Research Corporation (SSRC), an independent research organization. He'll discuss his discovery of a solar cycle that is now reversing from its global warming phase to that of dangerous global cooling. He says we can begin planning for decades of cold weather including its predicted concurrent ill-effects of record earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
