Midnight At The Crossroads Mar 25, 2020

Show notes

SUPPORT US ON PATREON!

Welcome back! We hope everyone is safe and healthy. This week we offer you a plethora bizarre distractions including the secret life of trees, terrible tinder bios, and supernatural places.

There are places that feel UNUSUAL. Each year countless tourists travel the globe just to stand in the astonishing presence of Stonehenge, or soak up fabled waves of magic energy said to radiate from the red rock canyons of Sedona. What gives these places such bizarre qualities?

Ancient Celts called these strange destinations "THIN PLACES", supernatural hot spots where the veil between worlds was particularly thin. According to legend, a person brave (or foolish) enough to enter a thin place risks encountering paranormal forces. Are you willing to look beyond the veil? Join us as we discuss the history of "Thin Places" and where to meet otherworldly entities! Along the way we'll take a pit stop at the crossroads and auction our souls to the highest bidder. You can try to resist, but Episode 34 drives a hard bargain!

SUPPORT US ON PATREON!

We're comin' at you with another bitesized story in this minisode of biblical proportions!

This week Kaylee breaks down the bizarre legend of Lilith, the first woman and mother of vampires! Appearing throughout western mythology, Lilith is believed to be the first woman - predating the creation of Eve in the Book of Genesis. However, after being banished from Eden Lilith transformed into a vengeful monster fixated on spreading terror and wrath. In recent years, Lilith has been reimagined as a symbol of female strength and independence. How did the "First Woman" become the "First Ex-Girlfriend"? Is Lilith a blood-sucking she-devil, or a misunderstood heroine? Listen and find out!

The Mothman Mystery (Part 2) Nov 26, 2019

Show notes

It's a moth. It's a man. No, it's PART TWO!

Craving some sweet, sweet closure? Then feast your ears on some phresh new tales of interstellar conspiracy and high strangeness! Tonight we cap off our two-part series on the Mothman of Point Pleasant!

Flying monsters, men in black, and visitors from outer space. From 1966 to 1967, West Virginia was haunted by the strange menace called the "MOTHMAN".

That same year, a surge in UFO-related sightings would prove that moth-men weren't the only aerial oddities in town. Strange lights haunted the skies above the Ohio river valley as crazy-talk of alien visitors emerged through the grapevine.

Could there be a connection between Mothman and the flying saucers? In this episode we will discuss the mystery behind these UFOs, their curious pilots, and the "men in black" who seek to keep it all under wraps!
