057 – Gremlins Jan 09, 2021

Show notes

Do not get them wet. Do expose them to bright light. ABOVE ALL ELSE do NOT feed them past midnight! We are ringing in the new year correctly to address the technical monsters known as gremlins. Popularized by the film of the same name, this episode we look into the lore behind the monster. Way back in World War One, fighter piolets would create stories about any issues they had with their planes. Any thing from compass malfunctions, to birds flying into engines. All corelated back to the monsters known as gremlins. Professional wrestler and paranormal investigator, Steve Michaels joins the talks this week. We do break paranormal talks for a moment to discuss Steve's professional wrestling career in Ohio Valley Wrestling (Or OVW for short). Oh, yeah, and you'll also learn about the car...The Gremlin. No relation.

Minus the scary creature known as the Wendigo, are there other bits of cryptid lore from the cold north? Well, yes. In fact, there are a lot.

Brrrrrr. It is cold. Very cold. All December long we have been looking at lore dealing with cold places or just cold theming. While thinking about what episodes to put out, Bob had a thought.

Show notes

Driving can be a relaxing pass time. Crank up your radio, listen to music or perhaps your favorite podcast. However, every time you drive there is a certain level of fear. Lots can go wrong including even just a repair or a flat tire. This year for Fearsgiving, we talk about about cars and the metaphysical. Haunted cars like the Bonnie and Clyde car, or cursed cars like the James Dean car. Bob even breaks the rules a little bit to talk about Lincoln's ghost train.

050 – Mothman Nov 04, 2020

Show notes

This is the one you have all been waiting for. In celebration of Episode 50, we are talking about Bob’s favorite paranormal story of all time. On December 15, 1967, in a small town of Point Pleasant West Virginia, the Silver Bridge collapsed, and unfortunately ended the lives of many individuals. It was, at the time the worst bridge disaster in American history. Events leading up to the unfortunate moment around the town were very bizarre. Many folks claimed they were being visited by a strange entity known as the Mothman. A tall figure with black and grey tones with a long wingspan and red glowing eyes. Throughout this episode, we uncover the history of the Mothman, and how even to this day there are reports of sightings in Chicago.
