Episode 90 - The Lake Baikal Swimmers Mar 21, 2023

Show notes

Since ancient times, the vast Lake Baikal has been known as deeply mysterious, but in the closing years of the Soviet era, and since, it has been the location of a number of alleged sightings of aliens and UFOs. Even more, sightings of bizarre beings who have come to be known as the Lake Baikal Swimmers. Nine-foot-tall silver-clad beings who have been sighted swimming in the frigid waters unflinchingly. Initially these were covered-up by the authorities of the USSR, but later they were revealed by the Russian media. Join us as we discuss some of the most shocking experiences around this ancient and truly massive lake and attempt to get to the bottom of the bizarre phenomena that has become its weirdest claim to fame.

Episode 89 - Listener Stories Mar 14, 2023

Show notes

This week, we’re sitting down to listen to a series of three incredible and terrifying listener stories. Our first tale comes from an ICU nurse who encounters a seemingly cursed room in her unit and the mysterious entity that appears to occupy it. Our second story comes to us from rural Wisconsin where a young couple, just trying to enjoy a rare fair-weather day, encounter a horrifying figure that would later claim internet fame. And finally, we have the tale of a young college student attending a women’s school in New England. After securing a room in the legendary dorms locally referred to as ‘the castle’, she quickly finds herself in what appears to be some sort of hellish energy trap. We are so grateful to those of you who send us your stories. KEEP SENDING THEM! We can’t wait to hear what keeps you locked into your Fortean obsessions.

Show notes

In this, we have for you a very important community project. Strange Semantics is an in-depth look at the language that we use to describe this incredible field that we find ourselves in. Terms like paranormal, supernatural, otherworldly, supranatural, supernormal, paraweird, and Fortean are examined through the input of 30 of the most fascinating people in the Fortean community. Podcasters, authors, philosophers, and artists from all over the world provide invaluable insight on a criminally overlooked aspect of Fortean studies. So, sit back and enjoy a trip across the spectrum of paranormal research!

Episode 88 - The Pascagoula Abduction Mar 07, 2023

Show notes

This week, we are talking about an absolute classic. The Pascagoula Abduction is a touchstone in the ufology community, and for good reason. On the evening of October 11, 1973, 42-year-old Charles Hickson and 19-year-old Calvin Parker told the Jackson County, Mississippi Sheriff's office they were fishing off a pier on the west bank of the Pascagoula River in Mississippi when they were abducted by what they can only reason to be aliens. A media frenzy ensued that attracted interviewers and UFO enthusiasts all over the country and even the likes of J. Allen Hynek. We even get into what happened to Calvin on the 20-year anniversary and his hypnosis session with Bud Hopkins that followed.

Show notes

This week, we had the honor of chatting with professional folklorist, Luke Greensmith. He is a horror writer, video game developer, and the mastermind behind the Lukelore podcast. We discussed his unique upbringing in the UK in order to find where his fascinations with horror, fantasy, and folklore come from. This guy is completely fascinating, and we had an amazing time getting to know him. Go support everything that Luke does. You both deserve it.

Episode 87 - The Battle of Ape Canyon Feb 28, 2023

Show notes

This week, we’re discussing one of the most famous encounters in the cryptozoological canon. It was on a summer night in July 1924 that a group of gold prospectors in the Mount St. Helens area of Washington state found themselves face to face with a group of “mountain devils” on the trail ahead of them. After a harrowing chase through the trails they had forged, they barricaded themselves in the cabin they had built as a barrage of attacks lasted the entire night. Can this remarkable story really be believed? Could it have been an elaborate hoax? 99 years later, we can only speculate, but speculation is where all the fun is found. Right?

Friday Night Fright 9 Feb 24, 2023

Show notes

Tonight’s first story follows two youngsters as they explore the storage unit of their recently deceased and very famous great-grandmother. We get a glimpse of the price that some pay for fame and fortune. A deal struck is not always a deal kept.

Our second tale is soaked in nostalgia. In a mid-90s video store, we meet Melissa, a 20-something employee who has a bizarre and terrifying encounter with a strange man at closing. What could this unknown tape be? Only one way to find out. Pop it in the automatic rewinder and find the nearest VCR. Best of luck.

These stories are works of fiction. Any names or characters, businesses or places, events or incidents, are fictitious. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.
