Ep. 121 - The Haunted Hinsdale House
31/08/2021 Duración: 50minIn the early 1970's, the Dandy family moved into a home in Hinsdale, New York, which eventually would become known as the most haunted house in New York State. The family claimed that they were visited by many spirits while living there, and many of their experiences in the beginning seemed mild. They would see objects move on their own, smell perfume from someone they couldn't see, or hear sounds from something unseen. They even heard chanting coming from the nearby woods. Eventually, though, things escalated and turned more sinister with knives being thrown across the room by unseen forces, and the children waking up with bruises and scratches all over their bodies. They turned to the church to have the house cleansed of the evil energy, but it failed and Father Trabold told the family to leave as soon as possible. The house shifted hands over the years, with no one staying for very long, until 2016, when Daniel Klaes purchased it. He uses the home now for paranormal research and claims that the spirits are

Ep. 120 - Melonheads of Ohio, Michigan, and Connecticut
17/08/2021 Duración: 01h23minMelon Heads is the name given to legendary beings that live in the forests of Ohio, Michigan, and Connecticut. There are differing variations of how they came to be depending on which area you live in, but for the most part they appear human but with bulbous, melon-like heads, and they prey upon humans who wonder into their territory. Those that claim to see a melon head, say they are completely bald with a bulbous head, abnormal arms & legs, teeth that look like daggers, and glowing red eyes. Almost every origin story of the Melon Heads involves an evil doctor or scientist performing cruel and terrible experiments on children with hydrocephalus which can cause an enlargement of the head. Many of these kids then become crazy or feral, but most historians agree that these hospitals, mental institutions and doctors never existed. There are some that believe the Melon Heads are actually a strange alien species that exists in these forests. Who are the Melon Heads? Are they just stories, or could there be al

Ep. 119 - Brushy Mountain State Penn
03/08/2021 Duración: 01h18min"Welcome to the end of the line!" Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary in Petros, TN is Tennessee’s first maximum-security prison holding the state’s most violent murderers, robbers and rapists. Some of the sentences were for 200 years or more, so most of the men who were here, never made it out. And although the death penalty was never carried out here, many met their end by natural or even devious circumstances. The prison was in use for over 110 years making it the oldest operating prison in Tennessee when it closed in June of 2009. The building reopened to the public in 2018 offering tours of the site, private events, concerts, and a distillery and restaurant operate there now. With so many deaths, murders, and suicides having occurred here, it isn’t surprising that there are reports of the paranormal occurring here. Visitors have been touched, shoved, scratched and even growled at, and some have heard laughter and been told to "get out". Shadows and apparitions have been seen here, and foul odors have be

Ep. 118 - Pascagoula Abduction
20/07/2021 Duración: 01h12minOn the evening of October 11, 1973, Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker decided to go fishing off the west bank of the Pascagoula River after work. There they heard a whirring noise and saw two flashing blue lights reflecting off the water. When they looked up, they saw a bright, football-shaped object in the sky where three strange creatures emerged and floated down to them. Once these creatures touched their arms, they became immobile yet a feeling of calm came over them. They were both guided and floated up to the flying ship where they were put under examination by these creatures and a machine that looked like a giant eye. Eventually they found themselves back on the shore and watched as the ship shot up into the sky and disappeared. After some debate, both Charles and Calvin went to the police to report their experience. At first, the police thought that they were just making up a story to get attention, but once they left them alone in the interview room with a hidden recorder that caught their conversat

Ep. 117 - Tulpas
06/07/2021 Duración: 01h21minMany of us grew up with an imaginary friend by our side, but these companions typically don't usually last beyond childhood. There is an ancient idea gaining more popularity in our modern times where with enough thought and focus we can create real sentient beings called tulpas. Some believe that tulpas think on their own, have emotions as well as their own memories. Tulpas also create personalities and desires all their own separate from those that brought them to life, achieving full consciousness. The tulpa can become relatively independent of its creator, tending to become negatively corrupted if it doesn’t receive the attention it wants and eventually become an evil entity. Many believe that entities such as the Black Eyed Kids, Dog-men, and the British Bigfoot to name a few, could very well be Tulpas that have turned evil. Join us on episode 117 to hear more about Tulpas, how people believe they can create them, and so much more!Sources: wikipedia.org, people.howstuffworks.com, bscah.com, psychonautwiki

Ep. 116 - The Mysterious Coral Castle
22/06/2021 Duración: 01h26minIn 1923, Ed Leedskalnin, a little, chronically ill guy, took 2.2 million pounds of Florida limestone, some chunks as big as 10 tons, and over the span of twenty-eight years built a castle in Homestead, Florida. To this day, no one really knows how he was able to single-handedly make this castle since he used simple hand tools and would do most of the work at night. When asked about it, Ed would only say that he knew the secrets of the people that built the pyramids. His reasoning behind building the castle was because the love of his life, Agnes, had broken his heart the day before their wedding day, and he was trying to build a place that she would be enticed to travel to and take him back.Not only were the stones of the castle and walls put together so precisely that no light would pass through the joints, but he also created a sundial that was accurate, a Polar telescope that perfectly aligned to the North Star, and a revolving gate that only needed a simple push of the finger to make it move. The area als

Ep. 115 - Haunted and Cursed Movie Sets
08/06/2021 Duración: 01h22minThere have been numerous movie sets and productions that have been cursed throughout the years, with actors dying either before the film concludes or shortly after, or with strange coincidences occurring during filming. During the filming of the 1976 film The Omen, there were three different incidents with lightning striking planes that cast members were on, as well as a producer that was nearly struck by lightning while on location in Rome. There have also been reports of strange and unexplainable paranormal instances happening on set or following a cast member home. During the filming of The Innkeepers almost everyone on the crew would have vivid dreams or wake up in the middle of the night feeling like they were not alone, and the director said that the phone in his room would ring but no one was on the other end when he would answer.Why does it seem that horror movies end up having the most unexplained instances to happen on them? Some believe that they may be inviting evil into their filming which is why

Ep. 114 - The Watseka Wonder
11/05/2021 Duración: 46minThe Watseka Wonder is the name given to the first documented American possession of 14-year-old Lurancy Vennum of Watseka, Illinois in 1878. It all started with Lurancy suddenly feeling ill with severe stomach pains, seizures, and loss of consciousness which they referred to as "trances". She also wasn't able to sleep well because she was being awakened at night by someone calling her name that wasn't there. As time went on, her symptoms got even stranger when she would speak in different voices or speak of places that she had never been to.After one of her last "trances", Lurancy stated that she was now Mary Roff, a young woman who had died 13 years prior. She told them that she would retain control until Lurancy's soul was healed. She knew the Roff family, all of their nicknames, and even how to play the piano, even though Lurancy had no knowledge. She lived as Mary, with the Roff family, for a few months before announcing that Lurancy's soul was healed and would be returning soon. As promised, Lurancy did

Ep. 113 - Mantis Man
27/04/2021 Duración: 55minIn Hackettstown, NJ near the Musconetcong River, there have been several encounters with a large bug-like creature resembling a praying mantis. This Mantis Man is about 7 feet tall with a dark green or brown exoskeleton, a triangular head, and large, slanted black eyes. Two of the encounters were with fishermen who were in the water and they both felt that the creature was surprised that they could see it, before it disappeared into thin air. Every encounter with this creature has been in or near the water, which is odd since praying mantis insects stick to dry ground.In Iran, a unique rock carving was found of a creature with six limbs that has been described as part man, part mantis. The archeologists estimated that the carving could be anywhere between 4,000 and 40,000 years old, which suggests that ancient humans have possibly linked mantids to the supernatural since ancient times. Were these encounters a drug-induced hallucination? Or possibly, Mantis Man is an alien, with the ability to cloak itself and

Ep. 112 - Bigfoot Encounter in Honobia, Oklahoma
13/04/2021 Duración: 51minOver a period of two years, the Humphreys family dealt with a group of Bigfoot creatures that almost nightly would try to get into their cabin in Honobia, Oklahoma. At first it was just noises in the vicinity of their cabin that they would hear. One day they found that one of their freshly killed deer had been stolen from their outside freezer, so they cleaned out what meat was left in it and assumed that the problem had been solved. That is when they began to see the Bigfoot creatures on their porch, jiggling the doorknob and tapping on the windows, trying to get in. As the nights and days went on, they became more ferocious trying to get into the cabin.In January 2000, Tim Humphreys was on his porch with a few friends and when one of the creatures got close enough to the cabin, he shot at it. The Bigfoot creature ran into the woods howling, and continued to scream the rest of the night. The next day they followed a trail of blood into the woods, but were never able to find the creature that was hit. The scr

Ep. 111 - Alien Robot Attack at Cisco Grove
30/03/2021 Duración: 52minOn September 4, 1964, Donald Shrum went on a bow hunting trip in California with friends that turned into an adventure that he will never forget! At some point in the day, he got separated from the group because he was tracking a deer, and since it was almost dark, he decided to hunker down up in a tree and wait for first light. Right before he fell asleep, he saw a light zig-zagging in the distance and because he thought it might be a search party looking for him, he lit a flare to let them know where he was. Suddenly, the light rapidly moved towards him and he realized at this point that it was a large cigar-shaped object. Two beings and a robot appeared below him and began trying to shake him out of the tree, and even released a white gas that knocked him out. When he woke up, he was still in the tree but the beings and robot were still there trying to shake him out of the tree. This continued all night, with shaking of the tree and the white gas being emitted several times and him passing out. At dawn, af

Ep. 110 - The Haunted Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel
16/03/2021 Duración: 01h06minThe Fairmont Banff Springs hotel, known as the Castle of the Rockies, is a 130+ year old resort and spa in a large castle located in Banff, Alberta, Canada. Because of a vision to bring the beauty of the Canadian Rocky Mountains to the rest of the world, William Cornelius Van Horne began construction in 1887 and officially opened on June 1, 1888. This location wasn’t just chosen for its scenic beauty, it was also by a railway and served as one of Canada’s grand railway hotels. William knew that he couldn't export the scenery, so why not import the tourists. The hotel has a few residents who've checked in throughout the years, but a few who’ve never checked out! One of the most famous entities at the hotel is the ghost bride who fell down the grand marble staircase after her wedding and broke her neck. Since then, many have seen the figure of a woman in a wedding dress walking up and down the stairs. There is also Sam the bellman that is still performing his job by helping hotel guests when they are in need.

Ep. 109 - Gef the Talking Mongoose
02/03/2021 Duración: 50minIn September of 1931, the Irving family, James, Margaret and their 13-year-old daughter Voirrey, began hearing a persistent scratching, rustling, and animal-like noises behind the walls of their farmhouse located on the Isle of Man. It didn't take long for a creature to introduce himself as Gef, and inform them that he was an "extra extra clever" mongoose from India that was born in 1852. He soon became part of the family and would tell them if they had a guest arriving soon, would turn the fire out in the stove at night if they forgot, or even wake those that had overslept in the morning. The Irvings would put bananas, chocolates and biscuits in a saucer that was suspended from the ceiling that Gef would take when no one was looking. The story of Gef became very popular in the press, where many journalists tried to catch a glimpse of him, and in 1935, several psychic investigators and paranormal researchers investigated the case of Gef. In the end, not a single one saw or even heard Gef, which led them to be

Ep. 108 - Oumuamua
16/02/2021 Duración: 01h01minAs NASA's website says, ʻOumuamua is the first known interstellar object to visit our Solar System. It was discovered on October 19, 2017 when it was close to the sun, and is described as cigar-like shaped with a reddish hue. It is also tumbling end over end every seven hours or so. It has been classified as a comet, but it doesn't have the signature tail that comets always have, which brings many, including scientists and astrophysicists to believe there is the possibility of it being something else, even extraterrestrial in nature. 'Oumuaua is now too far away for our telescopes to see anymore but the intrigue and wonder as to what it could be, is just as strong. Is it just an asteroid or comet? Is it an artificial relic floating in to our solar system from interstellar space? Or, is it an extraterrestrial probe sent to explore us? Join us on episode 108 to hear more!
