Episode 38: Kubrick's Hidden Message with Sean McCann of Wake the Dead

In this episode of Dark Florida, we dive deep into the mysterious and unsettling world of Stanley Kubrick through the lens of Sean McCann of Wake the Dead. Sean shares his theory of the Fidelio experiment, exploring the idea that Kubrick’s films overlay with themselves, creating layers of hidden meaning that connect his entire body of work. From The Shining to Eyes Wide Shut and beyond, we uncover the subtle threads linking his films, the patterns that most viewers miss, and the powerful symbolism embedded in every frame.

Sean walks us through the connections between Kubrick’s work and the hidden structures of trauma, power, and control, revealing how these themes repeat and echo across his films. We examine the psychological weight of The Shining, the ritualistic undertones of Eyes Wide Shut, and how seemingly unrelated films can carry overlapping messages about identity, observation, and perception. For anyone curious about the deeper layers of Kubrick’s work, or the ways film can communicate hidden truths, this conversation is both unsettling and illuminating.

Episode 37: The FBI Bigfoot File: What Do They Really Know? With Marian Gant

For more than forty years, the FBI quietly held onto a Bigfoot case file that most people never knew existed. A slim, 22-page document created in the 1970s, involving a suspected hair sample and one of the most respected Bigfoot researchers of the era, sat sealed away in government archives until it suddenly resurfaced in 2019.

In this episode of Dark Florida, host Brooke Moreland opens the official FBI Bigfoot file and looks beyond the surface-level conclusion to ask the questions that actually matter. Why did the FBI agree to analyze Bigfoot evidence at all? Why preserve the case for decades if it was insignificant? And why release it during the same period the U.S. government began publicly acknowledging UFOs and UAPs?

Brooke is joined by seasoned field researcher Marian Gant to discuss the role of investigator Peter Byrne, the controversy surrounding the FBI’s “deer hair” conclusion, and whether a researcher of Byrne’s caliber would have submitted such a mundane sample. Together, they explore the idea that this file feels less like a closed case and more like an X-File. Carefully trimmed, selectively released, and possibly only a fragment of a much larger story.

The conversation also dives into long-standing claims of government monitoring within Bigfoot research, including reports of Men in Black encounters, unmarked helicopters appearing near research sites, and evidence allegedly being removed from the field. While none of these claims can be easily proven, their persistence across decades raises an unsettling question: is Bigfoot research still being quietly watched?

This episode isn’t about definitively proving what Bigfoot is. It’s about secrecy, timing, and patterns. And what it means when the government briefly pulls back the curtain, only to leave us with more questions than answers.

🌙 EPISODE 36: They Only Come Out at Night - Sleep Paralysis & Spiritual Warfare with Vicki Joy Anderson

In this episode of Dark Florida, we journey into the unsettling world of sleep paralysis and the unseen forces that move in the dark. I sit down with author and researcher Vicki Joy Anderson, whose book They Only Come Out at Night has become one of the most talked-about explorations into nocturnal attacks, spiritual vulnerability, and the thin line between nightmares and true encounters.

Our conversation dives deep into the nature of sleep paralysis and the entities many people claim to see during these episodes. Shadow figures, beings on the chest, presences that feel intentional rather than imagined. Vicki explains how to discern the difference between an ordinary dream state and a genuine demonic night terror.

We explore the darker side of spiritual warfare, the psychological and spiritual mechanisms behind nighttime attacks, and why certain people seem to be more targeted than others. Vicki breaks down the crucial distinctions between an exorcism and a deliverance, explaining why these two practices are not interchangeable and how each serves a different purpose in confronting spiritual oppression.

Throughout the conversation, we discuss warning signs, vulnerabilities, generational patterns, and the types of doorways. Emotional, spiritual, and environmental. That can allow unwanted encounters to begin. Vicki shares insight into how individuals can protect themselves, how to close these doorways, and what to do if someone feels they are experiencing targeted nighttime visits.

This episode is for anyone who has questioned what truly happens in the borderland between sleeping and waking, or who senses that there may be more to the shadows than the mind alone can explain. Vicki brings clarity to a topic that is often dismissed, misunderstood, or minimized, and she offers grounded, compassionate guidance for listeners who may be facing these experiences themselves.
