In this episode of the Say What Again Billy? Podcast, Spooky Season continues as Billy and Bobby discuss one of New York’s more under-the-radar spooky locations: Kings Park Psychiatric Center. Opened in the late 1800s on Long Island, Kings Park grew into a massive psychiatric facility that housed thousands of patients at its peak. Like many institutions of its time, overcrowding, understaffing, outdated treatments, and deteriorating conditions eventually became part of its troubled history before the facility ultimately closed in 1996.Billy and Bobby dive into some of the darker stories surrounding Kings Park and compare them to other asylums and psychiatric hospitals throughout the United States. Many of these institutions seemed to follow the same blueprint for disaster: too many patients, too few staff members, questionable treatments, and conditions that became increasingly difficult to manage. And where there is a dark history, paranormal stories usually follow. The guys also explore some of the reported hauntings and eerie legends connected to Kings Park and ask whether the suffering that took place there may have left something behind.

Billy and Nick take on one of social media’s most talked-about recent mysteries involving DMT—a powerful psychedelic substance known for producing extremely intense hallucinations and experiences that some users describe as entering another dimension or “realm.”For years, people who used DMT have shared remarkably strange stories about traveling to this supposed realm and encountering bizarre landscapes, entities, beings, and realities that felt completely separate from our own.But lately, the stories circulating online have taken an even stranger turn.Some users now claim they’re being stopped or rejected from entering this DMT realm, sometimes describing an entity resembling a jester standing at the gates and refusing to let them pass.So what changed?Billy and Nick dive into these reports and an even bigger theory circulating around them: Could CERN and experiments involving the Large Hadron Collider have somehow altered our timeline—or even affected something beyond our physical reality?There’s no scientific evidence that CERN has altered timelines or supernatural realms, but when strange stories begin appearing from people describing similar experiences, it certainly gives us something interesting to talk about.Did something change with DMT experiences—or are we watching another internet mystery grow in real time?
