Visitors comes up in 6 chapters across 6 episodes of The Higherside Chats Free Show, from July 2014 to May 2023.
Outro Music and Closing Remarks
The show concludes with a final thank you to Whitley Strieber and a call to action for the "soul-seeking visitors." A custom song plays, referencing themes of high strangeness, skinny arms, screen memories, and the bizarre nature of the contact experience.
Ghislaine Maxwell's Role and Media Suppression
Whitney Webb argues that Ghislaine Maxwell provided the necessary charisma and social access that Jeffrey Epstein lacked, effectively continuing the work of her father, Robert Maxwell. Despite evidence like the 17 White House visitor logs and photos of the couple with Bill Clinton in 1993, U.S. mainstream media has largely ignored these connections. This suppression protects powerful entities like the Gates and Clinton Foundations.
Closing Cover Song, Beamed to the Head
The episode concludes with a cover song titled "Beamed to the Head," which features lyrics about crop circles, silver ships, and enlightenment through extraterrestrial or paranormal contact. The song serves as a thematic wrap-up of the discussion on visitors and the "new paradigm" of reality.
Van Meter Visitor and Iowa Gargoyles
In 1903, the town of Van Meter, Iowa, was reportedly plagued by a winged gargoyle-like creature that emitted an overpowering, putrid stench. Local residents, including the town doctor, engaged the entity with shotguns before it allegedly retreated into an abandoned mineshaft. The case remains a classic example of high strangeness that defies easy categorization as either a biological cryptid or a standard UFO encounter.
Visiting Acorn and the Internship Application Process
For those interested in experiencing the community, the guests explain the process for visiting Acorn, which begins with an email and a phone interview. They look for "juiced" individuals who are excited about the project rather than those just looking for a place to smoke and party. They emphasize that Acorn does not have a "security culture," leaving doors and cars unlocked, and they expect guests to contribute to the household during their stay.
Van Meter Visitor, 1903 Iowa Sightings and Memory Erasure
Chad Lewis details the 1903 case of the Van Meter Visitor, a giant winged creature with a glowing horn that terrorized a small Iowa town. Witnesses reported the beast emerged from an abandoned coal mine and possessed the ability to emit a blinding light and an odor that caused amnesia. Lewis suggests the abrupt end to newspaper coverage in 1903 points to an early cover-up of a situation involving technology and phenomena typically associated with modern UFO abductions.
