Ep. 256: The First Person: A Close Encounter with Sasquatch and What It Tried to Tell Me Jun 16, 2026

Show notes

In this episode of Tinfoil Tales, Brandon sits down with Ernie, who shares one of the most detailed and unsettling Sasquatch encounters ever discussed on the show. What began as a routine hunting trip in a remote mountain area turned into a face-to-face encounter with a massive, intelligent being unlike anything he had ever experienced.
Ernie describes how he unknowingly walked into what appeared to be a coordinated hunting scenario involving multiple creatures. As the situation unfolded, he came within just a few feet of one of them—close enough to observe its physical features, behavior, and what he believes were intentional communication attempts through gestures and body language.
Rather than acting aggressively, the being appeared curious and deliberate, using movements that Ernie later came to interpret as a form of communication. The encounter challenges common assumptions about these creatures, suggesting a level of intelligence, strategy, and awareness that goes far beyond what most people believe. The conversation also explores broader topics, including:

The possibility of Sasquatch using coordinated hunting tactics
Reports of vocalizations, whistling, and non-verbal communication
Why many witnesses wait decades before coming forward
The role of mindset and environment in close encounters
The idea that these beings may be far more human-like than expected

Ernie also discusses the challenges of sharing experiences like this publicly, the skepticism surrounding the topic, and why so much potential evidence is dismissed or ignored. This is not just a story about seeing something in the woods. It’s a detailed account of an encounter that raises serious questions about intelligence, communication, and what may still exist just outside our understanding.

Ep. 255: Strange Light: UFOs, Paranormal Encounters, and the Stories That Change Everything Jun 09, 2026

Show notes

In this episode of Tinfoil Tales, Brandon sits down with author Edson to discuss his book Strange Light, a collection of firsthand accounts from people who have experienced the unexplained.
From UFO sightings and paranormal encounters to near-death experiences and synchronicities, the conversation explores how these events shape the people who live through them. Edson shares how his perspective shifted over time, moving from curiosity and skepticism to a deeper fascination with the unknown. Rather than trying to prove or disprove these phenomena, he focuses on the human side of the experiences—what people saw, how it affected them, and why so many remain hesitant to speak out.
The discussion dives into recurring themes across different types of encounters, including the idea that many of these phenomena may be connected in ways we don’t fully understand. They also explore the stigma surrounding paranormal topics, why people are often afraid to share their stories, and how cultural influences shape what we believe is possible. From emotional accounts of loss and potential signs from beyond, to broader questions about UFOs, consciousness, and the limits of human understanding, this episode highlights one key idea: the deeper you go, the more questions you find. If you’ve ever experienced something you couldn’t explain—or wondered why so many stories seem to overlap—this conversation will give you plenty to think about.

Ep. 252: Full Body Apparitions, Haunted Bridges, and Paranormal Encounters May 19, 2026

Show notes

In this episode of Tinfoil Tales, Brandon is joined by Monica and Sarah, the hosts of the Verbal Echo Podcast, for a wide-ranging conversation about paranormal experiences, cryptids, consciousness, and the curiosity that drives people to explore the unexplained. The discussion begins with how Monica and Sarah met while working together in the restaurant industry before bonding over their shared fascination with strange phenomena. What started as casual conversations eventually turned into their own podcast where they explore mysterious topics ranging from paranormal encounters to cryptozoology, history, and unexplained events. Monica shares several personal experiences that shaped her interest in the paranormal, including events following the death of her brother that convinced her there may be more to reality than we understand. She also recounts paranormal investigations she’s participated in around the world, including haunted locations in Scotland, Jamaica, Florida, and Arkansas. Sarah discusses growing up in Kansas and experiencing unexplained phenomena from a young age, including full-bodied apparitions and the unsettling feeling of being watched while delivering newspapers late at night. She also shares a local legend involving a haunted bridge tied to tragic folklore and paranormal reports. Throughout the conversation, the group explores topics such as energy theory, consciousness, cryptids, paranormal investigation, and the cultural divide between believers and skeptics in the paranormal community. Brandon also briefly discusses his documentary project exploring unexplained encounters in Indiana and the strange concentration of sightings near river systems in the region.

Seems Sus: Real Life, Broken Systems, and the Lies We’re Told May 08, 2026

Show notes

In this episode of Seems Sus, Brandon and Ed step away from the usual topics and get real about life, loss, and the frustrations that come with living in a system that feels broken. The episode opens with an update on Ed’s wife, who is currently battling a brain tumor and preparing to undergo radiation and chemotherapy treatments.

The conversation highlights not only the emotional toll of the situation, but also the harsh realities of the healthcare system, insurance struggles, and the financial burden placed on families dealing with serious illness. They also take time to remember a friend of the show, Greg, who recently passed away while attending the Boston Marathon as a volunteer—something he had always dreamed of doing.
From there, the discussion shifts into a wide range of topics that feel all too familiar in today’s world:

Rising costs of living and the illusion of wage increases
The ongoing frustration with insurance companies and medical care
Government priorities versus everyday struggles of normal people
Media narratives, election-year fear cycles, and manufactured distractions
The return of virus headlines and public skepticism
UFO disclosures and whether people even care anymore
Missing scientists, conspiracy theories, and hidden information
The growing divide between people—and whether it’s by design

Throughout the episode, Brandon and Ed question whether the constant stream of chaos, fear, and division is intentional—and if so, what it’s distracting us from.
Despite the heavy topics, the episode also highlights moments of hope, including the generosity of others and the reminder that good people still exist, even when the world feels like it’s falling apart.
This isn’t just a conspiracy episode. It’s a conversation about reality—and why so much of it just doesn’t make sense anymore.

Ep. 250: Dogman in the Backyard May 05, 2026

Show notes

In this episode of Tinfoil Tales, Brandon speaks with Jason, who shares two unsettling encounters with what he believes were Dogman-type creatures in Indiana. Jason describes the first sighting in 2018 near Linton, Indiana, when he and several family members noticed glowing yellow eyes watching them from the woods behind a fire pit. What they saw appeared to be a large canine creature standing upright on two legs, estimated to be between seven and eight feet tall. When a gunshot was fired toward it, the creature quickly fled the area. Years later, Jason experienced another encounter while driving to work on a rural road near the Wabash River. This time he saw an even larger creature — possibly nine to ten feet tall — with bright yellow eyes and a muscular upper body. The creature calmly walked away into nearby woods as Jason watched from his truck. During the conversation, Brandon and Jason discuss the possibility that these sightings may be connected to river systems, food sources, and rural areas, and why many people who witness strange encounters never report them publicly.
