Ep. 65 – Wendigo

The Wendigo is a cannibalistic spirit that closely resembles a zombie. The best known way to become a Wendigo is by eating another human being, even when done out of necessity for survival. It appears to be gaunt, with its skin stretched tight across its bones, has massive, sunken eyes, and very sharp claws. There are some reports that say it is missing its lips and toes, while others report that it has the head of a deer. The Wendigo is a cold weather creature and a near-perfect hunter and has been reported to have the ability to mimic human voices which it uses to lure people into its territory. 

The Wendigo can be traced to Algonquian Native American folklore where the first Wendigo is said to be a warrior who made a deal with the Devil. In order to save his tribe, he gave up his soul and was transformed into the creature. Once the tribe found peace, he was banished from his tribe and forced to live as an outcast. In the last century there have been reports of many people who have become a Wendigo and even one of a Wendigo hunter. 

What roams up in the cold north? Join us on episode 65 as we talk about the Wendigo, its history and the many stories and sightings of this creature!

Ep. 63 – Dulce Base

Dulce Base is a secret jointly-operated human and alien underground facility located beneath the Archuleta Mesa on the Colorado and New Mexico border. It is a seven story compound that houses animal, human and alien hybrids, extremely advanced technologies, and experiments such as mind control and cross breeding are performed there. The first three levels are mainly inhabited by humans, while the rest of the complex is alien controlled.

The area has been plagued with cattle mutilations since the 70’s, and in 1975, a hybrid fetus was found in the body of a dead cow that appeared to be a cross between a human, monkey and frog. A group of Dulce personnel uncovered the truth of the experimentation in the facility which resulted in a confrontation between humans and aliens at the base that left multiple causalities on both sides. This Dulce War is said to still be occurring today.

Ep. 62 – Sheepsquatch

The sheepsquatch, also known as the “White Thing”, is a quadruped creature about the size of a bear with white wool-like fur that roams the Appalachian mountains, primarily the southwestern region of West Virginia. It has a long pointed head, similar to a dog, long, saber-like teeth, and ram-like horns. Unlike many other cryptids, its tail is long and hairless like that of an opossum. When it is near, it emits an odor similar to sulfur.  

The first official sighting of the sheepsquatch was in 1994 when a man witnessed it come out of the brush and drink for several minutes from a nearby creek before moving off into the surrounding woods. A year later, a couple were driving when they noticed it on the side of the road. After stopping to get a better look, it charged their car, and began to slash and bang the door, leaving large scratches in its wake.

What is the sheepsquatch? Is it a cousin to Bigfoot or could it be a beast from Hell due to its sulfur smell? Join us on episode 62 to hear about this strange cryptid, the many reported sightings, and our theories as to what it could be!

Ep. 61 – Flatwoods Monster

On September 12, 1952 at 7:15 P.M., in the small town of Flatwoods, WV, three young boys saw a bright object cross the sky and land in a nearby farmer’s property. They immediately went to investigate, along with several other children, a dog, and an adult. After climbing a hill, they came across a large pulsating ball of fire, detected a pungent mist that burned their eyes and nose, and heard a steady metallic whining noise. 

It was at that point that they took notice of a large creature. It stood approximately 10-12 feet, had a dark black or green body, and it’s face was red and shaped like an ace of spades. The creature emitted a shrill hissing noise before gliding towards them, abruptly changing direction, and then heading off towards the red light. The group fled in a panic to one of their homes and contacted the local sheriff. 

Authorities were unable to uncover any physical evidence of this incident, but over the next several days, the witnesses were overcome with sickness, having symptoms similar to exposure to mustard gas. The official explanation involved meteors, a barn owl, and hysteria. What was the Flatwoods Monster? Was it an alien? What made everyone get so  ill? Join us on episode 61 as we discuss this and several of our theories as to what happened that night!

Ep. 57 – Kentucky Goblins and Aliens

On August 21, 1955, a family was besieged for several hours by goblin-like creatures at a remote Hopkinsville, Kentucky farmhouse. The creatures had large, bat-like ears, were bald and 3-4 feet tall, had large, glowing yellow eyes, and had long arms with large claws at the end. The family defended the property by shooting at them for hours, only to have no effect, reportedly hearing metallic clinging noises when the bullets hit their target. Later, police were unable to find any evidence of the creatures, and it was suggested that what the family saw were Great Horned Owls.

Almost 60 years later, and on the other side of the state, a man claimed to have experiences with similar creatures on his remote Kentucky property. The creatures had large oily eyes, lipless mouths and were the same height as the Hopkinsville creatures, but they seemed to communicate with each other via a chirping noise. He believed they came from an abandoned mine on his property, where he found many of his missing belongings that had disappeared. 

What is terrorizing these towns in Kentucky? Are these creatures traveling through the immense underground Mammoth Cave system that stretches through Kentucky? Could these goblins possibly be aliens or are they something more plausible like owls? Join us to hear more about the Kentucky Goblins!
