Bigfoot in the British Isles
Mar 5 2024
Bigfoot in the British Isles
Join us this week as we take a trip across the pond to look for Bigfoot in the British Isles! First up is the Big Grey Man of Ben MacDhui, a tall, thin, grey creature that resembles the Sasquatch or Yeti. In Wales they have legends of the Brenin Llwyd (The Grey King or Monarch of the Mist), a more ethereal, supernatural bein that lives on the misty peaks of Snowdon, Cadair Idris, and Plinlimmon, among others. Ireland has the gruagach, which refers to "the hairy one," an ogre-like creature. I then take a look at a number of stories from the British Isles of Bigfoot encounters that sound more like the traditional sightings that are prevalent in North America. Do you think Bigfoot0like creatures roam the British Isles? Let us know in the comments below! #bigfoot #scotland #ireland #wales #greatbritain Links! Follow us on Social media!

Strange Sounds: The Barisal Guns, Seneca Drums, and More
Feb 27 2024
Strange Sounds: The Barisal Guns, Seneca Drums, and More
Strange sounds have haunted humanity for generations. But are they all as mysterious and spooky as they seem to be? This week I take a look at some strange sounds through history, including the Barisal Guns, the Seneca Drums, strange sonic booms, creepy howling sounds coming from the World Trade Center after 9/11, rumbling noises on Staten Island, spooky space music heard near the Moon by Apollo 10, and other strange sounds like the Deep Noise and the Bloop. Are these sounds proof of a paranormal reality interfering with our world? Or are there simpler explanations? #fingerlakes #unexplained #unexplainedphenomena #unexplainedmystery #worldtradecenter Links! Follow us on Social media!

Swamp Monsters: Bigfoot in Louisiana
This week we're venturing into the spooky swamps of Louisiana to discuss swamp monsters! The most famous Bigfoot in the state is the Honey Island Swamp Monster, made famous by the controversial footage taken by Harlan Ford. But many other swamp monsters have been reported in the parishes of Louisiana. Does sasquatch roam the swampy lands of the Bayou State?

Bigfoot? Or Friendly Bear? | Episode 80

Bigfoot? Or Friendly Bear? | Episode 80
There's a long history of mysterious disappearances in the woods of North America. But an unusual amount of children who are subsequently found after they go missing have an unusual story to tell: they claim were protected while they were missing by a friendly bear. These stories go back hundreds of years, but are strikingly similar. And bears don't tend to be protective, friendly forest creatures. So are these children really encountering bears? Are they all imagining the same story? Or is Bigfoot behind these shared experiences? Listen to this week's stories and let us know what you think! #bigfoot #missing411 #cryptozoology Links!

It's our last episode before Christmas, so this week John and I are discussing some Christmas Horror movies!

Plus, we finish off by sharing our thoughts on whether or not Die Hard is a Christmas movie!
