1376 SEAN STONE ON FREEMASONRY, DEMONS & THE ELITE

**Richard Syrett** (0:00)
Alright, let me tell you about something I've been living and breathing for a long time now. If you've ever listened to my podcast, The Rock and Roll Twilight Zone, you know I've always believed there's more going on in rock history than chart positions and gold records. There are shadows, patterns, strange turns of fate that don't quite add up. Well now, I've pulled it all together in my new book, Tales from the Rock and Roll Twilight Zone, Eerie Enigmas and Supernatural Secrets from Rock's Darkest Corners. This isn't just a music book, it's a journey into the unexplained, mysterious deaths, whispered conspiracies, cursed chords, and moments where the veil between this world and something else feels paper thin. It's based on years of research and conversations from the podcast, but expanded, deepened, and taken further than I've ever gone before. The book publishes July 9th, 2026, but you can pre-order right now at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or directly from my publisher, Trine Day. For all the details, just head over to therockandrolltwilightzone.com.
If you love rock and roll and you suspect the story didn't end when the music stopped, this book is for you.

I sold my car in Carvana last night.

**Sean Stone** (1:02)
Well, that's cool.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:03)
No, you don't understand.

It went perfectly.

They're picking it up tomorrow. Nothing went wrong.

**SPEAKER_6** (1:09)
So what's the problem?

**SPEAKER_4** (1:11)
That is the problem. Nothing in my life goes as smoothly. I'm waiting for the catch.

**Sean Stone** (1:14)
Maybe there's no catch.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:16)
That's exactly what a catch would want me to think.

**SPEAKER_5** (1:18)
Wow, you need to relax.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:20)
I need to knock on wood. Do we have wood? Is this table wood?

**SPEAKER_5** (1:22)
I think it's laminate. Okay.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:23)
Yeah, that's good. That's close enough.

I don't know what reality is because, like I said, to me, it's just the holographic experience.
I was walking one day inside of Monica talking to a friend about this, and I was like, I don't know if we're just having a holographic simulation that we call life. As soon as I said that, there was a young guy walking across the street with his buddy, and he looks at me and he goes, hey, he points, he's like, it's good to see you, it's been a while. I looked at him and I was like, okay, do I know you? He just turned and he just kept walking. I was like, okay. He just continued on, like he didn't even like, something just took control, like an NPC moment. The NPC basically came into the reality, was like, yeah, this is the Matrix, kept going.

Richard Syrett's Strange Planet, following the truth wherever it leads, exposing evil and corruption and the secret machinations of powerful elites, revealing the highest strangeness beneath the surface of our supposed reality, coming to you from the great white north and his studio beneath the stairs. Here's Richard.

Hey, welcome to Strange Planet. What if the people who rule the world aren't nearly as secular as they want you to believe? What if behind the corridors of political power, beyond the boardrooms, intelligence agencies, royal bloodlines, secret societies and media empires, there exists another realm entirely, a hidden world of symbols, rituals, unseen forces, an ancient knowledge passed down through the centuries?
My guest is filmmaker, author and explorer of the Forbidden Sean Stone, the son of legendary director Oliver Stone. He spent much of his life investigating the shadowy intersection of power, spirituality, Freemasonry, demonology, ancient mystery traditions, and the supernatural forces that many believe operate behind the veil of ordinary reality.
Sean's journey has taken him from Tibetan monasteries to Iran, from haunted asylums to Masonic lodges. Along the way, he claims to have encountered phenomena that challenged everything he thought he knew about the nature of reality. Mysterious phone calls from voices demanding his soul, encounters with what he believes were non-human intelligences, and first-hand experiences that convinced him the battle between light and darkness is far more than metaphor. Why are the world's most powerful people so often drawn to secret societies, ritual, and initiation? Can nations make deals with unseen forces? Are demons real? Is fear itself a weapon? And in an age of artificial intelligence, transhumanism, and digital surveillance, are we witnessing the return of ancient powers in modern form? Buckle up. This one ventures deep into territory most people are afraid to discuss.
