Ep. 74 – Samhain and Halloween

Samhain, celebrated October 31 to November 1st, is an ancient Celtic festival to welcome in the harvest, and to usher in the dark half of the year. It is seen as a time to wrap up the old and prepare for the new in our lives. It is also seen as a time when the veil between the living and the spirit world is at its thinnest, allowing you to communicate and honor loved ones that have passed. October 31st became known as Halloween, but many of the traditions of trick or treating, dressing up in costumes, and pranks all have origins in Samhain.

High Priestess Rona Lee (last heard on Ep 48: The Haunting of Rona Lee) joins us to discuss the history of Samhain, and some of the ceremonies and traditions that others perform during this time. She also brings with her some of the EVP’s that she has recorded during past Samhain celebrations, as well as performs a tarot card reading on both Nash and Mark.

Ep. 73 – The Ouija Board

The Ouija Board, also known as a spirit or talking board, is a flat board marked with the letters of the alphabet, the numbers 0-9, the words “yes”, “no, and “goodbye”, and is used to communicate with the spirits of those that have died. With the aid of a small heart-shaped device called a planchette, you can ask the spirits a question, and they supposedly answer by centering the planchette on the various letters, numbers, or words on the board.

The spiritualist movement, which began in the 1850’s, believed that the spirits of the dead exist and have both the ability and the inclination to communicate with the living, which led to the popularity of these spirit boards to contact the unknown. Many have believed that they have interacted with the spirits of the departed, some for many years, while others have felt that the entity that they were communicating with, wasn’t a spirit, but something much more evil.

Is it possible to commune with the spirits of those that have passed on through the use of a Ouija Board, or is it simply an unconscious response by the user, as the scientific community believes? Join us on episode 73 to hear more about the history of the Ouija Board and several of the personal experiences people have had while using one!

Ep. 71 – The Green Children of Woolpit

The Green Children of Woolpit are two children, a brother and sister, who showed up in the town of Woolpit in the 12th century. They had a green hue to their skin, were wearing clothing made from a strange material, and spoke a language no one could understand. Despite starving, the children wouldn’t eat any of the food given to them by the townspeople until someone brought them raw broad beans several days later. They survived for months on only the beans until eventually they began to eat other foods. The boy became sick and died, while the girl thrived and her skin returned to a normal color.

Eventually, the girl learned English and told the townspeople that she came from the land of Saint Martin, where there was no sun, but a perpetual twilight and everyone was green like they had been. They had gotten disoriented and lost in a cave, and when they finally emerged, it was in Woolpit. Since then, there have been a few scientific, as well as supernatural, explanations applied to this strange tale. Some believe it was simply chlorosis affecting the children, while others believe that the townsfolk of Woolpit were visited by aliens.

What do you think? Were they aliens part of an underground community, or just simply a case of poor diet? Join us on episode 71 to hear more about this strange and curious tale!

Ep. 70 – Stories of Bigfoot on Mount St. Helens

In July of 1924, a group of gold prospectors reportedly encountered multiple Bigfoot on the east flank of Mt. St. Helens, where they hastily fired their guns on them. The violence proved to be a mistake. That night, their cabin was assailed by a barrage of rocks, and they heard, and felt, giant bodies slamming against the walls and doors. The battle carried on the entire night, and when the sun came up, the hairy beasts broke off their attack and slipped away. The men packed up their gear and left to find safety down the mountain.

There have been other reports of Bigfoot on Mt. St. Helens throughout the years. When the volcano erupted in May of 1980, there were several reports of government cleanup crews retrieving the burned bodies of many Bigfoot and taking them to some undisclosed location. Native Americans in the area, have spoken of “mountain devils” and passed down legends about these creatures. There have even been recent reports of Bigfoot chasing a woman out of her camp site.

Join us on episode 70 to hear these stories and so much more of Bigfoot on Mt. St. Helens!

Ep. 69 – Indrid Cold, The Grinning Man

In November 1966, near Point Pleasant, WV, Woodrow ‘Woody’ Derenberger witnessed a UFO land in front of his vehicle while driving home from work one night. A door opened from the craft, and a man stepped out. The man was wearing a glistening green uniform, and he had a huge grin on his face. While using telepathy, this man introduced himself as Indrid Cold, that Woody had nothing to fear and then proceeded to ask Woody several questions. After their encounter, he told Woody that he would return, and then left in his ship.

One month earlier, two boys were walking home in Elizabeth, NJ, when they noticed a tall man standing behind a fence near them. He had no hair, ears or nose, was wearing shiny green coveralls, and when he turned around, they saw that he had a huge grin on his face. The boys ran away before they could interact with the strange man. On the same night, many people witnessed a blazing white light, as big as a car, move on a slow arc across the sky.

Who or what did these people encounter? Could Indrid Cold be an alien? Why was he always smiling? Join us on episode 69 to hear more!

Ep. 68 – Summerwind Mansion

Summerwind Mansion, considered Wisconsin’s most haunted house, is located on the shores of West Bay Lake. When it was purchased by the Lamont’s in 1916, the maids informed them that it was haunted, and even though they experienced weird and unexplained things throughout the years, it wasn’t until the mid-1930’s that the family’s feelings changed. That day, they were at the dinner table when the basement door flew open and the apparition of a man appeared. Lamont fired his pistol twice at the spirit, but the bullets traveled through the specter and lodged into the wall. The family promptly fled the home.

Throughout the years, multiple families owned the home, and they each experienced paranormal activity. Strange sounds and voices could be heard, tools would go missing, windows would open and close on their own, and on several occasions apparitions would be witnessed. On June 19, 1988, the mansion was struck by lightning and burned to the ground. All that remains, is the stone chimney and the foundation, but people still believe that something still haunts the area.

Who or what haunts this home? Does the home itself attract people here in order to feed off their energy? Join us on episode 68 to hear more!

Ep. 67 – Villisca Axe Murder House

On June 10th, 1912, two adults and six children were found brutally bludgeoned to death by an ax in Villisca, Iowa. Because all of the victims were found in their bed, it is thought that the murderer waited in the attic for everyone to fall asleep before going room by room, killing them all. From the start, the crime scene was compromised when over 100 friends and neighbors came to gawk at the dead bodies, and the few suspects that they had, all had alibis to corroborate their whereabouts. This crime remains unsolved.

People feel a real heaviness while in the house, and have seen apparitions and shadows, heard disembodied footsteps, and experienced things moving and falling on their own. At 2 AM, a train passes through the town of Villisca and the sound of its whistle is thought to trigger the residual events of the murder. Many people have noticed a light fog fill up the bedrooms just after the whistle and once it dissipates the sound of dripping blood can be heard. Numerous psychics have determined that the house if being haunted by the spirits of the murder victims, while others have felt that there is an evil presence in this house.

What haunts this small home in Villisca? Are the spirits of the murdered children trapped within its walls or is there something more malevolent residing here? Joins us on episode 67 to hear more about this haunted location!

Ep. 66 – The Montauk Project

On the eastern tip of Long Island, NY, lies rumors of a hidden underground government base that is home to horrifying genetic meddling, time travel, and mind control experiments, all of which have become known as the Montauk Project. This base, established as Camp Hero, was used as coastal defense, but was shut down in 1984, where it was sold to the state of New York and eventually became part of a state park. But the belief is that the Montauk Project never completely ended and continues on to this day.

Most of the experiments that took place at Camp Hero were on young boys who were kidnapped off the streets, and made to manipulate reality, create objects out of thin air, or construct portals. The strongest psychic kid they had access to was Duncan Cameron, who was able to use a special chair created with alien technology to open other dimensions and manipulate time. According to some, he fell asleep during one of these experiments, and his nightmare manifested a large, Bigfoot-like creature that ended up destroying everything.

Do secret, undercover experiments still occur at Camp Hero? Was it all possible because we got access to alien tech? Join us on episode 66 to hear all about the Montauk Project!
