30 Years of Houston Sky: Archival Access, Cryptozoology, and UFO Revelations

 

# Show Notes

 

When a California hospital patient mysteriously caused 23 staff members to fall ill in 1994, the case launched decades of scientific speculation. Gloria Ramirez arrived at the hospital with cervical cancer, but what happened next defied medical explanation—five healthcare workers ended up hospitalized themselves. Lawrence Livermore Laboratory proposed that her use of DMSO as a home remedy might have created toxic compounds in her blood (though many chemists remain unconvinced). The mystery continues to puzzle researchers today.

 

This episode celebrates the final issue of *Houston Sky*, Gail Neeson’s thirty-year-anniversary UFO newsletter, now available through anomalyarchives.org. Through the Anomaly Academy’s tiered memberships starting at one dollar monthly, you’ll find filmmaker Brad Abrahams discussing close encounters, Jonathan Downs investigating Texas blue dogs, and Barbara Fisher exploring living plasmas as UFO phenomena. **Jacques Vallée** allegedly reveals that government projects established direct communication with non-human intelligence approximately twenty years ago, possibly relating to the Collins Elite documented in Nick Redfern’s work.

 

Could near-death experiences involving encounters with unknown deceased individuals suggest evidence of psychic ability? Psychology Today explores this fascinating question.

 

Tune in for updates on cryptozoology’s 2025 highlights, Daniel Perez’s recognition as Bigfooter of the Year, and ways to support this patron-funded project.

Smiles Lewis hosts Anomaly Now, a weekly news roundup for the Scientific Anomaly Institute in Austin, Texas. Lewis celebrates the release of Houston Sky’s final issue, a thirty-year-anniversary UFO newsletter edited by Gail Neeson. Readers can access the digital PDF through anomalyarchives.org or view it on issuu.com with interactive features. Physical copies of back issues are available while supplies last. Lewis encourages audiences to support the nonprofit through their website, Patreon, or by contacting Gail directly for the magazine’s limited edition print versions. The speaker discusses the Anomaly Academy, a patron-supported platform offering tiered memberships starting at one dollar monthly, with premium tiers providing access to live presentations by researchers and anomaly seekers. Recent highlights include filmmaker Brad Abrahams discussing close encounters through his documentaries like “Love and Saucers,” and the public release of a fifteen-year-old archival lecture by Jonathan Downs on cryptozoology, specifically investigating Texas blue dogs and chupacabra sightings, which are typically misidentified mange-afflicted domestic animals. The speaker also recommends wildlife journalist Chester Moore Jr.’s video on the chupacabra phenomenon and previews upcoming January presentations featuring witch and UFO investigator Susan Demeter. The speaker discusses upcoming presentations including Barbara Fisher’s work on living plasmas as a UFO phenomenon interpretation, which physicist Massimo Teodorani has also explored extensively. They highlight recent research from Psychology Today about near-death experiences involving encounters with deceased individuals unknown to the experiencer, suggesting evidence of anomalous cognition and psychic ability. The speaker recommends exploring the Anomaly Archives Flipboard for daily curated news and mentions an interview with Peter Stencil, founder of The Excluded Middle zine, discussing his transformative near-death experience featuring encounters with unconditional love and divine presence. The speaker shares a profound spiritual experience involving a sense of eternal love that transcended personal boundaries and relieved their fear, framing it as an adventure. They enthusiastically recommend exploring Peter’s insights into mysterious phenomena and express gratitude for connections with spiritual thinkers and the founders of The Excluded Middle. The discussion then pivots to cryptozoology, highlighting Loren Coleman’s top cryptozoology books of 2025 and celebrating researchers like Bridget von Holt and Kristen Brzeski as Cryptozoologists of the Year for their work on red wolf genetics and conservation efforts. The speaker discusses recent Bigfoot and UFO-related content, highlighting Daniel Perez’s recognition as Bigfooter of the Year and recommending a podcast interview between Ben Roylance and AP Strange about psychic artist Eugenia Macer Story. The speaker expresses excitement about a recent Weaponized podcast episode featuring Jacques Vallée, who allegedly reveals that government projects established direct communication with non-human intelligence approximately twenty years ago. The speaker suggests this may relate to the Collins Elite, a non-governmental organization of government and military insiders documented in Nick Redfern’s book “Final Events” and Vallée’s Forbidden Science journals. The speaker discusses various UFO and paranormal research programs, including allegations that religious groups with spiritual beliefs influenced government decisions about UFO investigations. He mentions remote viewing components in Pentagon programs and references author Nick Redfern’s account of communication experiments with alleged extraterrestrial beings. The speaker shifts to positive news about an Austin teenager who erased millions in medical debt for residents, then respectfully notes the passing of UFO abductee Linda Napolitano, known for the Manhattan abduction case featured in a recent Netflix documentary. The speaker discusses the mysterious case of Gloria Ramirez, a cervical cancer patient who arrived at a California hospital in 1994 and somehow caused twenty-three staff members to become ill, with five hospitalized. While Ramirez died from kidney failure, the puzzling phenomenon of her body sickening those around her remains largely unexplained. Lawrence Livermore Laboratory theorized that her use of DMSO as a home remedy, combined with paramedic interventions, may have created toxic compounds in her blood, though many chemists remain skeptical. The speaker recalls examining this case in previous years and references a Dollop Podcast episode exploring various theories, including conspiratorial explanations. The speaker discusses the Anomaly Archives’ ongoing efforts to support their audience through the Anomaly Academy and patron-supported Patreon accounts. They acknowledge that personal circumstances may challenge the continuation of their weekly show, but remain hopeful about future possibilities. The speaker encourages listeners to support the project through multiple options, including Patreon subscriptions starting at one dollar monthly, PayPal donations, or mail contributions to their Austin, Texas P.O. Box. They express gratitude for growing subscriber numbers and viewer engagement, invite contact via email and phone, and conclude with warm wishes for a happy New Year while encouraging kindness and community support.

Greetings everyone. Hello and welcome to another edition of anomaly. Now I am your host, smiles Lewis. This is the sometimes weekly, mostly weekly we missed last week. Sometimes live. Though it’s been months and months and months. Weekly news and media roundup for the five hundred and one c three nonprofit Scientific Anomaly Institute, aka the Anomaly Archives, located here in Austin, Texas. Thank you for joining us on this Wednesday. It is almost over, folks. Twenty twenty five is almost behind us. For some of us on the planet, it already is. It’s I’m recording this just after in the early afternoon of Wednesday, December thirty first, twenty twenty five. Oh my gosh, what a what a year I hope. I hope your year has been better than mine and others in most people’s. I think it’s been really rough for for folks. So anyway, all that aside, let’s get down to business.

Or go to the website and find the archive of, of of links that we flipped over into Flipboard. Occasionally things won’t flip for some reason. There must be some kind of, you know, anti link code on some of these websites, but we’ll see. Okay. Where are we? We are right here on. Yeah, I do want to start with this exciting awesome news. I am so happy. Honored to have been allowed by Houston Sky editor Gail Neesam to distribute the PDF digital copy of the final anniversary finale thirty years later, issue number twelve of Houston Sky, her UFO newsletter. And so if you go to Anomaly Archives, you can find our periodical page and our blog post announcing the ability for you to download the PDF of the Houston Sky final issue number twelve.

And it’s got some nice little animation features that allow you to get that, that feel of like turning the pages. And that’s the other great thing about this is you can you can see the layout and design that Gail spent so much time and effort on. No, this isn’t some, you know, glossy, full color magazine with, you know, modern stylistic design, but it really does recreate. It’s exactly like the old issues. And I really appreciate her her design style and effort that went into making this a layout so, so enjoyable and fun. So yeah, there’s all kinds of stuff there. And as I mentioned, we are honored to be featured there in the pages talking about archives as well as talking about anomaly now. So check that out. Anomaly archives As and you can sign up for the free updates there. Just or just search the website. But you can also go to Patreon.com and become a patron of our services. We post a lot of material there, links to the website and there’s constantly we’re putting out new stuff. You can also click through and listen to the audio only versions of this show, this weekly show that get posted there as well. And it just everything you can. You can sign up for free or you can donate a dollar a week. Excuse me, a dollar a month, two dollars a month, five dollars, ten dollars. It’s at the ten dollars or higher level that gets you access to our monthly online Anomaly Academy tier, which allows you access to the live online presentations by fellow researchers, experiencers, what have you seekers of the strange, the mysterious, the fourteen and the anomalous. And yeah, just this past, just this past month, we had Brad Abrahams talking about Close Encounters of the humankind in terms of his work documenting strange experiences and and chronicling the very human experiences that people have with the anomalous. And he, of course, he’s most known for his documentary Love and Saucers The Far Out World of David Huggins, as well as material on conspiracy theories like Do You See What I see? A short documentary about the unofficial artist of conspiracy theory culture, the controversial and recently departed David Deas, and so much more. Really in in joyed hearing what Brad had to say about his approach to storytelling. With that, we’ve also released the lecture from that we had for the Anomaly Academy series last year in December of twenty twenty four. That was an archival lecture, given that fifteen years ago, in twenty ten, at our second location, back when we were on Research Boulevard in northwest Austin. And we’ve now made that more widely, publicly available, both to our patrons and to the public at large. You can find that on our YouTube channel. You can find that on our website, archive.org, or the Patreon Patreon.com archives page. And it’s very interesting. Of course, Jonathan Downes has a pretty thick British accent, so it can it can be a little tough to to decipher sometimes, but I think he’s he’s absolutely worth listening to. And the subject is cryptozoology generally, but specifically, he was here in Texas visiting our good friends Richie and Naomi West, who guided him around the state to research the strange phenomenon known as Texas Blue Dogs, aka chupacabras. That’s right folks, the chupacabras. You know, those strange hairless creatures seen all across Texas that are basically spoiler alert? These are mostly dogs and coyotes and foxes and raccoons with mange. All of these creatures have been misidentified as, quote unquote, chupacabras. There’s been some interesting DNA analysis of of some of these, but that was several years ago before it was as easy to do. Oh, here is the example. Living chupacabra captured by Texas couple. That is not that is a poor raccoon with mange. But anyway, very much recommend John Downes presentation, which we’ve now made public to everyone over at the websites. All right. And keeping just briefly on the subject of Texas Blue Dogs and the Chupacabra reports here in Texas, our good friend Chester Moore Jr has put out an episode on his wildlife journal online. His YouTube channel called Chupacabra Coyote Connection The Mystery of the Blue Dogs. Highly recommended. It’s about twenty minutes or less, and he does a great job of synopsizing the situation and his experience researching it. I really respect Chester on so many levels as a wildlife journalist and investigator and as a cryptozoologist, and also as he does some humanitarian work that he melds with his his personal spiritual path and his love of introducing children to nature and wildlife. And he is very much into preservation and education. So I highly recommend that video of his. All right. Coming up next month. January or first monthly presenter for the Anomaly Academy lecture series for patrons at the Anomaly Academy. Cadet tier or higher is going to be Susan Demeter, a witch who investigates UFOs. You can find out more about her over at her website. Susan Demeter WordPress.com. She, of course, is the author of Cosmic Witch Magic witchcraft and the supernatural and She’s. I first really became aware of her back in twenty seventeen or thereabouts, when she was one of the contributors to oh, What’s the the book I was in, UFOs Reframing the Debate, edited compiled by Robby Graham. May He Rest in peace and so many other contributors besides Susan and myself and really amazing host of other people are featured in that. Com and I’m really looking forward to her talk. And then of course, coming up sometime this this early part of next year, we’re going to have a presentation by Barbara Fisher on living plasmas. One of the interpretations of UFO phenomena that I find a lot of interest in resonance with, and which Susan’s husband, Susan Devita’s husband, Massimo Teodorani, the physicist and electronic musician, has written a lot about the issue of living plasmas and the connection to the UFO phenomenon with plasma. Right barreling on through. You can, of course, go to our Anomaly archives Flipboard. That’s Flipboard.com slash symbol anomaly archives, and then click through to the Flipboard, where we aggregate all the news articles that we come across daily constant a constant flow of these news articles. You can find the links to this on our website and on the archive.org. So much great stuff, you just can’t cover it all in one show and keep that show kind, tidy and short. But there’s some great stuff that I’m going to highlight here. First off, we have over at Psychologytoday.com is a peculiar subset of near-death experiences encounters with deceased individuals whose death was unknown to the experiencer. This is written about by Alexander Barth. Bethany, PhD. Consciousness and meaning at Life’s End. Without going into the details, here are the key points. As pointed out at the top of the page NDEs. Near-Death experiences occasionally include encounters with deceased individuals whose death was unknown to the experiencer. If NDEs were driven by expectation, accurate perceptions of unknown and surprising facts should not occur. Though rare, such experiences are reported with enough regularity to warrant systematic investigation. A new research protocol aims to document such cases with greater rigor than has previously been possible. And this is this is, I think, a good example of what I consider, you know, very grounded parapsychological research. I do think that there is such a wealth of evidence for human psychic ability and anomalous cognition, anomalous information transfer. This this whole notion of a very common phenomena of people having premonitions of people dying or having premonitions of being contacted or thinking of a person, and then suddenly that person contacting them when they haven’t communicated in often years or sometimes decades, or having visions of somebody who they didn’t know was sick, who just suddenly appears to them, and it turns out that they died right around that same time. This is akin to that, as far as I can tell. So I think I think that’s interesting. So check that out. Then of course, we’ve got our good friend Peter Stenzel, who is one of the three founders of the zine. That was kind of my gateway, one of my gateways into the anomalous UFO zine scene of the nineteen nineties. And that is the excluded middle, which is, of course, titled after this idea of you don’t have you can be agnostic, you can you don’t have to be an either or or as Robert Anton Wilson says, you can be both and you can explore the excluded middle. There is a a balance point between these dual opposites. It’s not always black or white. Some things are gray. Okay. So over on YouTube is this channel by Brad Peterson, and it features our good friend Peter Stenzel being interviewed for this show by Brad Peterson and experiences the face of light and the void. Musician Peter Stenzel’s Grateful Dead NDE and just I’ll just give you a quick sample of that here. There was this emanation from this basically face of light that was coming right into me of pure, pure love. It was so loving. I knew that there was there could be no sin. Nothing I could do that would prevent me from getting that love, which is what unconditional love is. But we often throw that term around unconditional love. But to actually feel it, to feel it and like not only that, it I’ve always been loved. It was this eternal sense of love that And it seemed to ground the universe. And it was not just for me, it was for everybody. But it felt so wonderful. So my fear kind of left at that point. I just have to say, at this point I knew this was an adventure. Well, so yeah, you can go check out that whole thing. It looks to be just over an hour long. And yeah, Peter is an amazing thinker and very spiritual person who I always am intrigued by his insights into all these strange, mysterious phenomena. And I’m so proud to have met him, so lucky to have met him and Greg Bishop and Robert Larson, the founders of the Excluded Middle. When I met them way back in the mid nineties and have been friends with them ever since. So check that out. Keeping with the indie. Oh wait, I thought there was more indie stuff. No, I guess not. We’ll just jumping back to the cryptozoology scene. We’ve got this article over at Loren Coleman’s Crypto Zoo News.com that is the top cryptozoology books of twenty twenty five. He loves doing these kinds of best of lists and compiling best of or, you know, honoring people on a yearly annual basis. And number one, he’s got Bigfooters and Scientific Inquiry on the Borderlands of Legitimate Science by Jamie Lewis and Andrew Bartlett. Number two, the secret world of Denisovans. Denisovans the epic story of the ancient cousins to Sapiens and Neanderthals, by Sylvanus or Condon and Francois Sabatier. Coming in at number three, chasing North American Monsters A guide to over two hundred and fifty creatures from Greenland to Guatemala by Jason Offutt, with a foreword by Lord Coleman. And then you can read the rest. There’s, there’s there’s more here by other authors. Very interesting list of books that you’ll want to check out. Gosh, we’re going to have to get all these for the archives. Need to get need to get our Amazon wish list or our wish list. And folks can start helping us acquire more, more materials. Another one over at Crypto News is Cryptozoologists of the year twenty twenty five Red Wolf researchers and posthumous Monologists, and looks like he is awarding the two individuals, Bridgett Vonholdt, PhD, and Kristin Brzeski, PhD. And let’s see, he writes, Red Wolf ghost alleles are remnants of lost red wolf DNA found in the coyote populations in the southeastern US resulting from historical interbreeding before red wolves were extirpated circa nineteen eighty. These genetic ghosts persist in coyotes, offering a valuable genetic reservoir that could aid in red wolf recovery efforts by potentially reintroducing lost diversity. This has occurred primarily in coyotes in southwestern Louisiana and eastern Texas, particularly in areas like Galveston Island. Reintroductions have occurred in North Carolina. These two individuals. We celebrate our Bridgett Vonholdt and Kristin Rozycki. Our congratulations to them. And there’s more about them and their work on the rest of this page there at Crypto News.com. Good job Lauren. And then we’ve got our friend George Eberhart, former archivist and very much a UFO Bigfoot oriented person. Check out just a little bit of this four minute video where he talks about the Bigfoot of the year for twenty twenty five. Hello Bigfooters and Happy holidays! It’s also time to officially announce the Bigfoot of the year, sponsored by the Bigfoot Times Newsletter, which, by the way, has been around since nineteen ninety eight as an ink on paper publication. That’s no small feat. See what I’m saying? I’m George Eberhardt. I provide the index for the entire run of Bigfoot times ever since it started in the last century. I’m also a retired magazine editor and librarian, but I’ve also written reference books on UFOs and cryptozoology, including the acclaimed two volume set Mysterious Creatures. For nearly three decades, Bigfoot Times has annually selected a Bigfoot of the year. There is no money given out, no gold or bronze statue presented at a gala ceremony. It just offers a celebration anyway. Surprise! So this is sponsored by Bigfoot Times. He’s wearing a shirt. The t shirt. The editor of Bigfoot Times has been selected as this year’s Bigfoot of the year. Daniel Perez, I believe, is his name. And, you know, that’s. You know, considering he’s sponsoring this. I’m not accusing anything. I think it’s it’s good that after all these years, he is getting his fifteen minutes of fame. So. But yeah, you can go to George Eberhardt’s YouTube channel and see the rest of that. Of course, all the links to the news tonight will be in the show. Notes on the anomaly archive.org web page for for for tonight’s episode, today’s episode for this last episode of twenty twenty five. Meanwhile, I want to draw people’s attention to this recent podcast episode you can listen to on YouTube or other podcast or Podcatcher apps. This is a interview by AP strange of our friend Ben Roylance, who is the probably the main biggest proponent of Eugenia Mazer’s story. Psychic artist, UFO researcher, paranormal investigator. This is a nearly two hour conversation between Ben and Matthew of AP Strange Show, and I highly recommend it. It’s it’s a really enjoyable listen. I think they give a great introduction to the life and works of Eugenia Mazer’s story, and she’s just a fascinating character, fascinating person who I definitely encourage folks to look into more. And of course, they do make reference to because Ben was one of the participants in our twenty twenty focus on on Eugenia mason’s story the life and works of artist clairvoyant investigator Eugenia major story M’s, as we like to call her, as some abbreviate her name, which featured Professor William, Stephanie Quick and Ben Roylance and, uh, yeah, we we really had a great conversation. That’s about two hours long as well. So check it out. Check those out. And of course, you can go to all the archives and find out more about Eugenia and these subjects. So meanwhile, back in the world of UFOs, there’s some man just amazing stuff keeps coming out. And I’m very curious about. I haven’t finished watching this interview, but at the very beginning of the most recent episode of weaponize, that’s Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp’s podcast they are interviewing, of course, Jacques Vallée, titled The Bizarre Nature of UFOs. As somebody else has commented, it’s so cute seeing them so giggly, so such fanboys like myself at getting to finally interview Jacques Vallée. I don’t, you know, I don’t think I’m sure they’ve had conversations before, but just here is a very brief preview of one of the big bombshells that Jacques drops in this interview that has already made some waves. I’ll have some comments here in just a second. But what they describe to me is a very sophisticated process by which we may be able to interact with the entities. But so. So you’re saying you’ve been made aware that there is a government project. Maybe it was twenty years ago that was able to establish direct communication with a non-human intelligence, and that you believe this information to be true and, and and that this is a reality. This is what you understand to be true. Is that correct? I cannot tell. Yes, yes. It’s factual. This is weaponized. I think that Jack may be talking about the the Collins elite, that this is something that was repeatedly mentioned in multiple volumes of his forbidden science journals, at least definitely in the most recent volume six, but possibly in volumes four and five as well. Of course, the main writer who’s chronicled this material has been the popular works. The book on the Collins Elite, written by Nick Redfern. In fact, I believe that book is called Final events, and it is pretty much one of the only books devoted to this subject of this Collins. And for those that aren’t aware, basically it appears that there has been a a non governmental organization composed of government employees, military, military personnel, quote unquote, you know, government insiders and military insiders and just stick to government mainly that. And folks tend to misinterpret this as being that there’s this religious government group, but it’s a it’s a non sanctioned as far as anybody can tell, independent group of people who happen to be in the military and or government service area, who have an interest in UFOs but have very strong religious, spiritual beliefs and that they have for a long time been investigating UFOs and paranormal phenomena from the angle that it is demonic, and that is come up multiple times as being the suggested interference group for Aatip Osap the Pentagon’s, you know, two thousand and eight to twenty twelve UFO program that was revealed in twenty seventeen that it was religious zealots that defunded it, that or killed it, that killed the program. There’s, I think, been the suggestion by several that the same kind of element, maybe not this exact group was that was behind the killing of of psychic remote viewing programs preceding Aatip and all that. Of course, we did learn. Back in October, Paul Smith reported on a podcast that he had He had coordinated an RV group as part of Osap or Atyp, though he that we had to infer that the hosts of Third Eye drops and Richard Dolan had to infer that. But yeah, that appears to be the case. So there was a remote viewing component to Osap. Allegedly. Apparently. Anyway, in Redfern’s descriptions of final events, the Collins Elite I believe it’s been a long time since I read this, but I believe it was reported that these religious UFO paranormal investigators had created or reported to Ray Boucher and to Nick Redfern that there had been a program. It’s uncertain whether it was governmental or not, but there had been a program to communicate with alleged alien beings and that they were getting all kinds of material. And it just basically it sounds like a a channeling type of experiment where, you know, who knows what the real source of this communication or information is. Anyway, check that out. That’s Jacques Vallée. The Bizarre nature of UFOs on weaponized with Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp. A lot of other great stuff. Let’s see, where are we with that? And just you can see right next to this is this this headline, this video that I’m actually I included it because I want I want to throw in good news. This isn’t really anomalous per se, other than is being kind and a good person anomalous these days. This is from some local news story. Austin teen Eli Cooper erased four point seven million dollars in medical debt for Travis County residents. Apparently, he raises money to buy people’s medical debt to absolve them of their medical debts. It’s. And it’s not a one for one thing. It’s actually usually like a, you know, like one dollar pays for like ten dollars or something like that, you know, or five dollars, like, it’s it, it’s it’s not like he raised four point seven million dollars. That’s how much debt he was able to buy for less than four point seven million. Anyway, what a great thing to do for people. Anyway, moving right along. Sad to report. Alleged UFO abductee experiencer Linda Napolitano, aka Linda Cortile has passed away. She was born June fourteen, nineteen forty seven and passed away December twenty first, twenty twenty five. You may excuse me. You may know her from the famous Manhattan abduction case of Budd Hopkins, promoted, and which was featured in a Netflix documentary recently that she and others, I think were suing because she felt that it misrepresented her and misrepresented how they were going to approach the documentary. I thoroughly enjoyed the documentary, but I can understand why she and others felt that it was unfair to her story. But sadly, she she has passed away and her good friends like Peter Robbins and others have been talking about the loss. And anyway, that this is over at Williamson and Sons. Com obituaries. And yeah, you can find out more about her by searching online. Completely shifting gears and in the home stretch here, I was really excited to see this new story from Boing Boing. This is one of the articles that wouldn’t flip into the Flipboard. The title The Woman Whose Blood Made an Entire Air Collapse. This is one of those stories that I gotta say I have always been fascinated by ever since first hearing about this. It is just so bizarre. See here the woman who made an entire air collapse on February nineteenth, nineteen ninety four, Gloria Ramirez, arrived at Riverside General Hospital in California with late stage cervical cancer and severe heart palpitations. Within minutes of staff drawing her blood, people started dropping. A nurse noticed an ammonia smell from the blood tube and fainted. A medical resident saw yellow brown crystals floating in the blood, then collapsed. A respiratory therapist went down. Next, twenty three people got sick, five were hospitalized. One spent two weeks in intensive care. Ramirez herself died forty five minutes after arriving from kidney failure related to her cancer. But that wasn’t the mystery. It was what her body did to everyone around her. I’m sorry. I kept pausing the jump editor because I was sneezing and I had to edit those out. Investigators initially dismissed it as mass hysteria, noting the afflicted were mostly women with normal blood tests. But one hospitalized doctor developed hepatitis and avascular necrosis in her knees afterward, which doesn’t fit a psychological explanation. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory eventually proposed a theory Ramirez had been using dimethyl sulfoxide DMSO as a home remedy for pain. The oxygen from paramedic mask converted it to dimethyl sulfone sulfone, which crystallize in her blood. The electric shocks from defibrillation may have then converted them, converted that into dimethyl sulfate, a highly toxic compound. Many chemists remain skeptical, noting the human body isn’t warm enough for such a reaction. The case was published in Forensic Science International and appears in forensic textbooks as, quote, the most scientific explanation to date. But no one has ever proven it. So yeah, there’s links there. As usual, it’s Boing boing. So it’s just a really pretty thing. But this reminds me that yes, back in twenty sixteen, October twenty seven, twenty sixteen, in our Anomaly Archives e-newsletter, I had made a connection to this I there was this. I said Fortean or Tiana reconsidered as cover up for corruption. There was a news article Oregon Hospital E.R. quarantined after people start hallucinating. And then there was this podcast called The Dollop podcast. It was episode one hundred thirty three, The Toxic Woman of Riverside. Comedians Dave Anthony and Gareth Reynolds examine Gloria Ramirez, also known as the Toxic Woman of Riverside. And yeah, so it looks like the audio only versions of this have mostly disappeared, but it is still over on YouTube. The dollop podcast, their official YouTube channel, and it’s about an hour long discussion of the case. I don’t really remember the specifics, but it was a very conspiratorial attempt at explaining this strange event that I think they went so far, or somebody went so far as to suggest that there was like a meth lab actually at the hospital, which is just insane. But anyway, I’m gonna have to relisten to that. But the BoingBoing article reminded me of that so well. Anyway, coming up, like I said, next, next month, January twenty twenty six, we’re going to have Susan Demeter give a presentation. It’ll likely be about her research into ghost roads, ghost lights, UFOs, and her perspective as a witch. As a practicing witch. And you can, of course, find out more about that over at archive.org or Patreon.com archives. And again, we want to remind folks that you can go to our archive.org, and you can get your free downloadable PDF of the the final issue of Houston Sky. That’s Houston Sky number twelve, the almost thirty year anniversary finale issue put out by Gail Nesom. And over at the website you can find out how to download your copy, or if you want a physical print copy of it or some of the rare back issues. Those first eleven issues from back in ninety five, nineteen ninety six. She’s still got a couple of issues left. Well, that’s going to be it, folks. Thank you so much for joining us. Moving forward into twenty twenty six, we may not be able to do this show weekly, as religiously as we have tried to do over the many years that we’ve been doing this. We started and only now in twenty twenty, during the pandemic and lockdowns, as a way of doing, you know, not in person virtual outreach. And and of course, we were kind of continuing that with the Anomaly Academy lecture series through our patron supported Patreon accounts. And that’s all going to continue as best we can. But there are certain things going on in my life that are going to likely make it really challenging to continue with the the Weekly show, but who knows, you just never know. The world changes on a dime, and it’s a dime or two or three. It’s the money that makes the world go round. But that’s neither here nor there. But if you can support the Anomaly archives, you can go to our Patreon and you can subscribe for a dollar or two dollars, five dollars, ten dollars a month. Anything helps. You can also just you can go to archive.org and you can donate via PayPal. Or you can send a check to our P.O. box. That’s P.O. box one five two two five two, Austin, Texas seven eight seven one five. All that information is, of course, on the website. Also, it’s been ticking down there on the bottom of your screen for a while during parts of this episode and you know, the usual. Hit the like and subscribe. We’ve we’ve been gaining subscribers really appreciate that. We still don’t have that many compared to other podcasts. But you know, we’re not we we don’t. We’re not to everyone’s taste, I suppose. But thank you for listening. Thank you for watching. Thank you for reaching out. We do appreciate the emails. You can contact us at contact at archive.org. And we even have a phone number that you can, you can leave voicemail at or text us. And that’s going to be it. Happy New Year folks. I really hope you have a fun and safe evening tonight and a wonderful New Year’s Day tomorrow, the first day of twenty twenty six. And let’s, let’s, let’s just all agree to be good people and be nice to people and defend the weak and do the best we can to make the world a better place. Thank you so much. Good night.
