Thunderbirds - The Winged Spirit (Ep. 32) Jul 04, 2025

Show notes

In this week's episode, we'll be talking about the massive winged creature known as the Thunderbird. From Native American lore, this creature ruled the skies and the upper world as a God in animal form. In cryptozoology, the Thunderbird could be a remnant of the Teratorns, which have been extinct for over 10,000 years. Whatever it is, it has made several appearances throughout the US and in some cases, has attempted to snatch children from their yards. This is one big bird that has nothing to do with Sesame Street!

Ouija Board - Zozo's Playground (Ep. 31) Jun 20, 2025

Show notes

In this week's episode, we'll be talking about a spirit board, or talking board, known to most as the Ouija Board. This "game" was designed to communicate with the dead, but it has proven time and time again that it's really just evil entities playing with you. The concept of the board is simple, but what you conjure up may be way more than you anticipated. Be very careful and hope that you don't encounter ZoZo!!

Black Eyed Children - If Eyes Could Kill (Ep. 29) May 23, 2025

Show notes

In this week's episode, we'll be talking about the Black Eyed Children (Black Eyed Kids). These creepy kids have a knack for showing up when you least expect them, then they ask for some type of assistance, be it using a phone or getting a ride. They need your permission to enter your home or vehicle (much like the lore of Vampires). But make no mistake, if you allow them entry, there may be some tragic consequences. Be very careful if a child you don't know asks for help and needs to get in your home or car. Make sure you can see their eyes. If they're black....send them packing!!!

Show notes

In this week's episode, we'll be talking about the Melon Heads of Connecticut, Michigan and Ohio. These grotesque, mutant, feral, cannibalistic people are said to live in the forests, mountains and caverns in remote areas of the states. Sometimes they emerge to attack unsuspecting people. You may be kidnapped to be eaten or to potentially provide their community with offspring. Could these monsters actually be children that suffered relentless torture at the hands of a madman, commissioned by the government? Listen in and see what you think.

The Three Legged Woman - My Rotting Appendage (Ep. 27) Apr 25, 2025

Show notes

In this week's episode, we'll be talking about the Three Legged Woman of Nash Road in Mississippi. Stories will vary, but this ghostly entity has sewn another leg onto her hip. Was it the leg of her lover, her husband or her daughter? We may never know the whole story, but if you drive out to Nash Road and summon her, she just may appear and you can ask her for yourself. That is, if you have the guts. She's awfully scary looking and has quite the temper. She may also think that you are the one that killed her daughter and she will chase you while slamming her body into your car. Be careful with this one!

Alabama White Thang - Ain't no Bigfoot (Ep. 25) Mar 28, 2025

Show notes

In this week's episode, we'll be talking about the Alabama White Thang, often referred to as a white or albino Bigfoot. We don't believe it is a Bigfoot, as it has been described differently by most that have seen it. Sometimes described as having the head of a bear, a wolf, a lion or feline, or a combination of one or more. It has also been seen running on all fours. The Thang seems to be roaming the tri-county areas between Morgan, Etowah and Jefferson, but has been venturing more north. Listen in as we talk to Paul, a Jefferson County resident, and his take on the White Thang.
