Sasquatch and the Faerie Realm Jan 17, 2018

Show notes

Episode 24: Timothy and Joshua Cutchin discuss a very strange article from Timothy's latest book, "Bigfoot: West Coast Wild Men". Joshua has made many observations in the past linking different modern paranormal phenomena with folkloric accounts of Celtic faerie encounters. This particular article, dating from 1857, contains a vast amount of elements which seem to link this bigfoot abduction with faerie lore.

Site Seven - An Introduction Oct 25, 2017

Show notes

Episode 19: We've been hinting about Site 7 on previous shows. We have an ongoing investigation at Site 7 but we remain unsure what we are dealing with - we have reports of mystery lights, orbs, bigfoot creatures, and possible spirit activity. Tonight we'll talk with Chris, who was the first person who told me about Site 7 as well as Lori and Jeff who have had several strange experiences at Site 7. James and I will relate our own experiences at Site 7, some other findings, and on-site audio on a future episode. (Please note: there are some issues with the audio in this episode. We've done our best to clean up the audio, but there are still some issues with the audio levels and background noise).
