Disturbing National Park Disappearances & Fatalities We NEED To Help Solve... Aug 17, 2022

Show notes

There will always be a slight risk attached to hikers who venture deep into vast areas of wilderness in the many National Parks throughout the world. However, the amount of unfortunate souls who either vanish off the face of the earth during these hikes or end up dead in odd circumstances seems excessive.
Some of the incidents involving young children or inexperienced hikers are easily explained. Most hiking experts say they made common mistakes like taking on more than they could handle or failing to time their turnback to beat the sunset. However, what isn't so explainable is how the healthy and seasoned outdoors people also end up in the same predicament. Leading many to believe there is more to the thousands of disappearances and deaths than just kids wandering off or hikers becoming disoriented and that something more sinister or unearthly is responsible.
In this video, we look at just five of the many 1000's of bizarre and unexplained National Park Disappearances & Deaths…

Seriously Dangerous SCP Monsters You'll Be Glad Are in Containment... Aug 05, 2022

Show notes

SCP stands for Secure, Contain Protect. The SCP Foundation is a fictional secret organization responsible for capturing and containing various paranormal, supernatural, and other mysterious phenomena that are unexplained by mainstream science. Their aim is to ensure their existence and dangers are hidden from society. The foundation holds thousands of files that document an SCP object and the means of keeping it contained. However, despite its extremely secretive nature, the foundation is tasked by governments around the world to capture and manage various unexplained phenomena that defy the known laws of nature…This includes anything from living beings and creatures to incomprehensible entities with supernatural abilities or other highly unusual properties.
If left uncontained, many of the more dangerous anomalies will severely threaten humans or even all life on Earth. So their existence is hidden and withheld from the general public to prevent mass hysteria and allow human civilization to continue functioning normally.

You DO NOT Want to Mess with This Battle-Scarred Great White Shark... May 16, 2022

Show notes

Animals are incredible; as pets, they are faithful, loveable companions; in the wild, they are majestic, enigmatic, unpredictable and incredibly tough; they fight to survive and use every ounce of their inner strength to overcome some of the most extreme circumstances or situations they find themselves in.
In this video, we look at not only the largest and most ferocious animals on the planet but also the diminutive small ones whose incredible will to survive sees them take on anything. For a variety of reasons they don’t come much tougher than these five.

5 Real Life Horror Stories You Will NEVER Forget... May 02, 2022

Show notes

Sometimes if you want to find true horror, you only have to look at humans. For centuries, they have inflicted terrible cruelty and pain on their fellow species. Not necessarily because they are psychopaths or sadists, but simply because they believe in an ideology that dehumanises their victims, whether that is through war, or a strong belief in injustice, religion or immorality, the grim truth is that almost anyone is capable of committing staggering atrocities given the right circumstances. So from the ominous looking cliff in the thumbnail, here are five truly disturbing horror movies, you won’t believe are real…
