MOZ explores many of the other shapeshifters said to share this affliction and, perhaps more importantly, he offers a theory as to the meaning behind this common shapeshifting trait.   REFERENCES: Boraro: Bane, T.

In this episode, MOZ dives deep into Himalayan folklore to make the case—or, more accurately, restate the case made by Larry G. Peters—which involves the important role the Ban Jhakri, an ancient and regional forest shaman, plays in the Yeti legend. MOZ explains this oft neglected aspect of Yeti theory and Nepalese folklore. Find out why the Yeti is not what you think it is, and how this mystery only deepens when one gazes into the frozen ice caves of Tibet and beyond.

In this episode MOZ stays at pre-pre-basecamp (a pub) while Jeremy plods off into the frozen tundra in search of one of the greatest cryptozoological mysteries of all time. Actually, MOZ covers the abominable snowman, yeti lore, and all things Yeti-adjacent, setting the stage for a serious deep-dive into Yeti Theory in the second half of this two-part Himalayan extravaganza coming up in the next episode!

In the spring of 1874, in the small farming community of Saxtown, Illinois, a most heinous deed was committed – the brutal murder of a family of five. There were no witnesses to speak of and too many suspects to name, but the solving of this most heinous crime became the obsession of many.

This week Jeremy and MOZ welcome Dr. W. David Arnett, reknowned astrophysicist, to the podcast. We discuss many things including the nuclear bomb, the science of supernovae, Arnett's Law, shapeshifting molecules, dark matter, Oppenheimer, and more. Come on along as we deep-dive the monstrousness of supernovae with the man who literally wrote the book on the subject. Make sure to stay until the end, where MOZ takes his shamanistic theories toe-to-toe with science. This could get ugly! References: Dr. Arnett's Book: Arnett, W.D.

This episode takes us on a global tour of the lore behind the theory of flying homonids, including Camazotz, the Ahool, the Orang Bati, and the infamous Batsquatch. From Siberia to Mesoamerica, from Indonesia to the US Northwest, there are legends of these flying homonid monsters haunting the skies. Is Jeremy’s Ring of Fire theory set to erupt onto the paranormal scene? Or is it just so much rumbling? Come on along with the Monster Lore Tour and decide for yourself!

This week we bring you an extra-long Side Trail Compilation in honor of our Leap Day Special bonus episode, featuring Side Trails 26, 27, 28, and 30. Side Trail 26: We discuss the odd phenomenon of Uncanny Sight, aka Sightless Vision, and then we track the story of Dr. Nandor Fodor beyond the Alma Fielding case, following him into a new, unexpected role in the world of psychoanalysis. Side Trail 27: MOZ shares with us his most intense real-life Doppleganger encounter story. A tale of tricksterism at it's best! This one is not to be missed. Side Trail 28: As discussed in the Leap Day Special Episode, this Leap Day Special Side Trail is a replay of our Side Trail #14 which is all about the structure of hypercubes, better known as tesseracts. Side Trail 30: We look deep into the origins of our modern measuring systems. Learn how the ratio of the size of human to the size of Earth led to the development of the most ancient of measuring systems. The truth just keeps getting weirder!
