Show notes

On the cusp of the 20th century, a group of horrified Hoosiers claimed to have encountered something utterly unexpected lurking in the murky, mud-filled depths of the paranormally plagued Ohio River; a group of vicious, quasi-reptilian humanoids that locals swiftly christened: "Mud Mermaids".

#402: Hell On Ice Part 2: The Terrible Truth Aug 11, 2025

Show notes

In the 1990's, a military doctor found himself serving in one of the most remote outposts on Earth: McMurdo Station, Antarctica. It would be during his 11-month stint that the doctor's worldview would be shattered by a stupefying series of disclosures involving colossal kaiju, international intrigue, mad science, black budget genetic atrocities, archaic abominations and—as if it could get any worse—an army of mutated man-spiders with a taste for human flesh; all of which confirmed that the world's superpowers were not only aware of the malevolent monstrosities roaming the White Continent, but that they were, in fact, doing their best to weaponize them.

#401: Hell On Ice Part 1: Antarctic Abominations Aug 04, 2025

Show notes

To some, Antarctica is a pristine, windswept landscape filled with austere beauty. For others—especially those unlucky enough to stumble across its indigenous inhabitants—the continent at the bottom of the world is a frigid, Lovecraftian hellscape filled with baffling behemoths and flesh eating fiends so malefic they defy the imagination.

In what has got to be one of the most bats**t crazy paranormal encounters on the books, a woman was relaxing in her Northern California home when she claimed to have encountered a bevy of increasingly bizarre beings, all of which coalesced into a whirlpool of metaphysical madness representing what may well be one of the last great paranormal vortexes in the United States.

#398: Invasion Mexico: The La Rumorosa Incident Jul 14, 2025

Show notes

On an impulsive excursion into the Mexican wilds, three teenagers would confront not only deadly snakes and the ominous prospect of being lost in the woods after dark, but something much more insidious; an armada of UAP and a small army of glow-in-the-dark entities who seemed hellbent on bringing them down.

Show notes

A Kentucky man spots a terrifying "Glimmer Man" near a lake rumored to hide a monster. In rural Illinois, a childhood game is interrupted by a grotesque, clawed creature that vanishes into thin air. And in Poland, a man sees a headless, metallic humanoid lounging in a former mass grave site. Something unnatural lurking just out of sight.

Show notes

From Yogi, Smoky, Paddington and Winnie the Pooh to Baloo, Fozzi, the Berenstain Bears not to mention the Magic Kingdom's own Country Bear Jamboree, pop culture is littered with examples of talking bears. But, fanciful though these characters they may be, there are genuine reports of humans interacting with an uncanny array of these hyper-intelligent carnivores… who, beneath their teeth, claws and fur, may be hiding an incredible secret

#395: Stumps Addendum: Crawlers, Creepers And Midnight Peepers Jun 23, 2025

Show notes

In the mid-60s, an Oregon family was thrust into a supernatural gauntlet involving UAPs, dazzling indoor light shows, cycloptic beasts, dancing aliens, a smoking dome, possible poltergeist, an ominous (and evidently bulletproof) shadow stalker and—to cap it all off—a pack of spider-like tree stumps roaming the wilds of the Pacific Northwest. In fact, this onslaught of metaphysical mayhem got so intense that it sent this poor family fleeing from their home… never to return again.
