William of the Fiery Flowers Mar 21, 2019

Show notes

Episode 80: Alison and Timothy discuss the wondrous life of William Woodruff, a hermit from Colebrook River, Connecticut. From newspaper articles, town histories, census records, wills, and various other sources, we piece together William's story - a fatherless child turned town dandy, who walked away from society, grew hollyhocks, gazed at the stars, and kept a vow of silence for much of his life. We also discuss a "wild man" flap which occurred in the area during William's lifetime - and tell the tale of William being mistaken for bigfoot.

The Flannel Man's Grin Feb 14, 2019

Show notes

Episode 71: We present four more Flannel Man accounts this episode. First we talk to Brad who saw Flannel Man beside a lake. Brad then tells us about a weird photo taken of his wife, an encounter with another dark entity, and some other strange experiences. Next, we hear Dan's experience of seeing Flannel Man as a child. Alison then reads a Flannel Man account sent in by Ruthann. Finally, we hear a story of a Flannel Man seen almost simultaneously by Sheila and her daughter - in two separate rooms of the same house! It is perhaps the scariest Flannel Man account we have heard.
