Over the last few years, a series of sightings of a strange flying creature began to be reported in and around the city of Chicago, leaving witnesses baffled, bewildered and shocked. What on earth were people seeing both in the skies and in close encounters on terra firma? My guest this week has been investigating these strange encounters since 2017 and released his first book, "The Lake Michigan Mothman" focusing on the cases. Now, with Unsolved Mysteries covering the encounters and a raft of witnesses speaking on camera, the Chicago Mothman case has taken a more intriguing turn.

n November 1971, a standard internal flight from Portland to Seattle became infamous the world over due to the actions of one of the passengers. An audacious skyjacking catapulted the name D B Cooper around the world and almost over night, the legend was born. Throughout the years, the FBI and police attempted to solve the case to no avail and a slew of intrigued members of the public then took up the baton. 53 years later, will we ever know who the real Dan Cooper was? Joining me to ponder the possibilities is the marvellous Drew Beeson.

The 1980s saw the field of Ufology fracture into groups focussing on certain cases and allegations that led many investigators down many a rabbit hole.  From allegations of alien wars occuring beneath our feet, crashed saucers, retrieved bodies, alien technology and deep state conspiracies, Ufology became a tangled, combative and confusing mess that pushed people to their limits.  Assisting us with untangling the truth from the disinformation is Charles Lear, who's new book "Crashed Saucers and Malevolent Aliens" takes us on a journey into some of the more notorious hoaxes and disinformation campaigns that ran rampant through out this period.

The paranormal has many aspects to it that often get overlooked more often than not. One perplexing phenomena that rose to prominence in the late 1970's was reports of telephone calls from the beyond.  D Scott Rogo and Raymond Baylis's seminal 1979 book, Phone Calls From The Dead investigated dozens of witness accounts of the bereaved receiving a call from the other side in some jaw dropping incidents.  Thankfully, Dr Cal Cooper has picked up the mantle and has now re-released his update investgation in his book "Telephone Calls From The Dead". Dr Cooper joins me to discuss the power of the paranormal to react to situations of grief, loss and bereavement along with some stunning cases and the possibilities of what such cases can mean in the investigation of parapsychology.

It was supposed be the most exciting weekend for five friends as they prepared for the biggest game in their basketball careers. Ted Weiher, Jack Madruga, Bill Sterling, Jackie Huett, and Gary Mathias were to play in a tournament that would enable them to travel to Los Angeles courtesy of the Special Olympics. They'd planned to watch their favourite college team first though, to inspire them for the following day. On Friday, February 24, 1978, five friends left the Yuba County, California area in Jack Madruga’s 1969 Mercury Montego to attend a basketball game in Chico, California. Four days later the car they were traveling in was found abandoned on a snow-covered road in the mountains of the Plumas National Forest, some 75 miles in the wrong direction from home. What happend to the Yuba County Five has baffled people for over 45 years and in his forensic deep dive in to the case, author and researcher Tony Wright chased down every rabbit hole on the search for answers. His book can be found here: A massive thank you to Tony for joining me this week.

When it comes to the Sasquatch phenomena, following on from the main sighting events people reports come secondary experiences such as wood knocks, vocalisations, footprints and more. Yet what if something else is responsible for some of these other events. Could something be running concurrently with cyptid reports and be misindentified? In his new book, The Forest Poltergeist, author WT Watson considers the possibilities of something else being responsible for some of the strange things people report in the woods other than our hairy friend in forests.

A series of strange sightings were reported in the 1970's and 80's in Aintree, famous of course as the home of the Grand National . Witnesses were perplexed by the sight of torch bearing figures wandering in a field.  Hushed tales of nefarious deeds, secret socities and even cults were blamed but just what was going on and could anyone find out who was responsible. Returning after too long an absence to the show is our good friend, Dr Rob Gandy who tried to get to the bottom of this weird set of sightings.

On a cold November night back in 1966, four teenagers would have an experience that would resonate around the world. A night time drive to the local TNT area would culminate in a terrifying chase that left them frightened out of their wits and shock all of the residents of Point Pleasant. What happened next over the next 13 months in the small town in West Virgina would become known to all lovers of the strange and unsual as both the Mothman and the Men In Black cemented their places in the minds of the fortean. Joining me to discuss this fascinating case and much more is the marvellous Steve Ward.

For many, the term UFO is synonomous with the the term Flying Saucer but for many witnesses and experiencers, they see anything but a flying saucer. From the infamous Black Triangles, Flaming Crosses, Boomerangs and even Cigars shaped craft, the sky is indeed the limit in regards to the shapes of sighted craft in the heavens above us. Joining me to discuss his new book "The Shape of Things to Come From Elsewhere" is one of British Ufology's leading lights, Chris Evers. With an interest peaked through a sighting as a teenager in East Yorkshire, Chris has been investigating, researching, writing and holding conferences about UFO's for 50 years. He joins me to discuss his book and some of the unusual craft seen in our skies from around the world.

We head back to Australia in the company of Dylan Stewart, host of the marvellous Paranormal Thoughts podcast to look at some of the strange occurences in and above Australia. From looking at some of Australia's most famous cases including Westall and some you may not be aware of, we look at the perception of the fortean in Australia and how the discussions have changed over the years, along with some classic Australian horror films and some of its more established creatures. We also consider the impact speaking with experiencers and witness can have on both ourselves and the individual.

At the beginning of the 1920's, the sleepy Warwickshire village of Burton Dassett became the epicentre of a series of strange encounters. Locals began to see strange lights in the sky that seemed to act intelligently or even mischievously as some of the witnesses thought. Former police officer and now author, Richard Rokeby takes us on a trip back 100 years in to the past to try and uncover just what were "The Lights Upon The Hills".

On this episode, we welcome Tony Healy back to look into some unusual cryptid history and encounters from Australia. From Bunyip sightings going back nearly 200 hundred years, to the strange creature or creatures lurking in the Hawksbury River, Tony gives us a crash course in two of Australia's most notable water beasts.

This time of year is full of high strangeness hiding in plain sight all around the world. From the acceptance of a character who can break in to any house in the world, to flying animals, from cloth hunting cats to horse skulls singing for their supper, Christmas is strange. Joining me to discuss these customs and many others is Tobias Wayland, who along with his wife Emily, has created a thoughtful and beautifully illustrated book "The Singular Fortean's Yuletide Guide to High Strangeness". From real encounters with Father Christmas, to the traditions of Iceland, Wales, Germany and more, we look at some of the unusual encounters that lurk in the coat tails of our Christmas and Yuletide traditions.

We head back to January 1983 and the coastal area of Aberystwyth in Wales. One local farmer received quite the shock one morning whilst out inspecting his flock to discover his fields strewn with debris. On alerting the authorities, he was informed a plane had crashed, despite their being no evidence of any plane coming down and to his amazement, a large group descended on the fields to clear up the wreckage. The following day, he was shocked to realise that they and all the debris from the fields had vanished and things only got weirder from there. In his new book, Europe's Roswell: 40 years since impact, Mark Olly takes us on the hunt for clues in this often overlooked and misaligned case from the early 80s.

This week, we head to the Pacific North West with author Luke Phillips to discuss his brilliant new book "ROGUE". A thriling, horrifying and cryptid filled joy ride, ROGUE sees the Washington state under attack from something that has developed a taste for human flesh and it seems nothing and no-one can stop it. Luke and I discuss some of our favourite Bigfoot films from Boggy Creek to Exists, some of the real encounters that inspired some of the books key scenes and how the intelligence of animals is oftern overlooked by the arrogance of man.

Dogmen. Werewolves. Skinwalkers. Shapeshifters. Many believe the Dogman phenomena began with the revalations surrounding Bray Road in Wisconsin and Linda Godfrey's amazing work. Yet as Linda and others discovered, stories about encounters with strange creatures have plagued the North American continent since records began. In her latest book, Werewolves, Dogmen and other Shapeshifters stalking North America, author and investigator Pamela K Kinney has collected hundreds of reports goinhg back to the begining of the 19th century and beyond.

This week, I'm joined by author and researcher Andy McGrath. We discuss a number of notable cryptids from around the world and hear about his recent visit up to Loch Ness. From Bigfoot to the Yeren, Megaliths to the paranormal, we dive in to several subjects and chew the fat about reasearch, exploration and the percieved rules for exploration. We also touch on his series currently being filmed, Weird Britain and some of the unsual subjects they covered whilst recording.

In his latest book, "Humanoids and High Strangeness", Preston Dennett has collected 20 incredible encounters that show us that the subject of alien contact can often be even stranger than we imagine. From a child encountering a Grey riding a bike, to a werewolf playing peek a boo and hiding in closets to families being taken on board, there seems to be nothing too far out there that experiencers encounter when a visitation occurs. Some of the witness testimonies in the book will make you shake your head as we try to untangle the question, "How strange can strange really be?"

We head out to discover a cryptid we've never covered before in the company of our good friend Richard Freeman. The Gul of Tajikistan is a hairy bipedal hominid that has been seen for centuries across this mountainous land locked central Asian republic and has a reputation for violent encounters across the region. Richard tells us about the two expeditions he's undertaken with colleagues from the Centre for Fortean Zoology and the witnesses and encounters they heard about. The area is also alleged home to an alleged extinct big cat, the Caspian Tiger, but this is also being reported too. Thank you as always to Richard for joining me this week.

In her seventh book, Ruth has once again collated a bumper crop of modern day ghostly encounters from across the British Isles in These Haunted Times volume III. Ruth is fascinated particularly by finding correlations - where more than one person has seen the same or similar thing in the same location, or where multiple people experience different things but again in the same place. We visit a selection of haunted pubs and bars, strange goings on in toilets, a haunted bothy in Scotland and much more.

Every paranormal investigator has one location that brings out the goosebumps whenever they think of it. For Daryl Marston it was the notorious House of Wills, a former funeral home in Cleveland, Ohio. What occured during his investigation stayed with him for far longer than he imagined and made him re-evaluate everything he thought he knew about himself and the paranormal. Daryl takes us through the events along with some of his other favourite haunted locations along with a couple of the investigations he undertook on Ghost Hunters.

We head beneath the waves to uncover the reality of one of the most fearsome predators to swim in the ocean, the Megalodon.  Yet is it the swift, surface breaching killing machine we often see potrayed on screen? Not so says Max Hawthorne and he's built a compelling case to show that most of what we think we know about these incredible creatures is nothing more than speculation and fantasy.  From the giants of the prehestoric past to the apex predators of today, we go hunting for the reality of these terrifyingly wonderful creatures.

On October 11th 1973, two friends were planning on spending a warm autumn evening with a spot of fishing near their workplace. Neither of them could imagine what would occur that night, when rather than catching fish, it seems something decided to catch them. Over the last few years, Philip Mantle along with his co-author Dr Irena Scott have discovered a realm of supporting information that has made the Pascoula Incident the most witnesses abduction experience. Building on his friendship with Calvin Parker, the supporting evidence, new witnesses and fellow abductees make this case the most compelling of its kind. Sadly, the day after we recorded this interview, Calvin passed away and as such, this episode is dedicated to the man who made me question everything I ever thought I knew about the abduction phenomena.

Stories of hairy creatures across Australia have been with us since the first recorded encounters by colonists in the late 18th century were captured in the early newspapers and pamphlets of the era. In The Yowie, released in 2006, authors and researchers Tony Healy and Paul Cropper collected hundreds of encounters and witness accounts from across the country to show this is no modern hoax. In the following years, the surge of digitising old newspapers has seen a whole raft of previously unknown reports come to light along with some incredible modern eye witness experiences, allowing Tony and Paul to add even more evidence of these enigmatic encounters to the record. In their new book, The Yowie Files, we have hundreds of previously unknown or forgotten accounts collected for the first time. Tony joins me to discuss some of the cases in the book along with a couple of other cryptids too. The book can be found here; Paul's site is here: A massive thank you to Tony for his time once again.

We return to Washington State to continue our interview with Keith Linder as we return to the home he shared with his partner and something else. In the concluding part of our interview, Keith explains how things went from bad to worse, investigators come and go, the haunting reaches dangerous levels and an appearance on television simply adds to the situation. A big thank you to Keith for his time.

On todays show, the Fortean Times televison reviewer Stu Neville returns as we cast our memories back to look at some of the older fortean TV shows as well as considering the situation with the current shows available. From the classic shows In Search Of and Arthur C Clarke's Mysterious World, the mid 90s resurgence to the limited releases until recent years, we dive into some of our very favourities. Is Fortean TV a thing of the past or can we pin our hopes on two shows people may not realise are pushing the envelope to keep covering the strange. Thank you as always to Stu for joining me!

Anyone remotely interested in the subject of Ufology will be well aware of the alleged incidents that occurred over Rendlesham Forest in the Christmas of 1980. Yet, the area has has a longer history of strange events covering a variety of phenomena. Those events were simply the tip of the iceberg and Brenda Butler catalogued a wide variety of high strangeness over decades. Now in a newly updated version of her 1983 book, co-author Philip Kinsella joins me to discuss his experiences both inside and outside this realm of high strangeness. For many, Rendlesham is fixed over those three nights, but there is far more than meets the eye.

Many may suspect that West Virginia is home to only one type of cryptid, but looks can be decieving. The Mountain State is a hotbed of alleged Bigfoot activity all across the state and reported on for decades. Joining me to discuss his work and methods in the field is Dr Russell Jones. A certified master naturalist, experienced outdoorsman and dedicated Bigfoot researcher, Dr Jones talks about his thoughts on the subject, his ways of working and some of the sightings he covers in his newly update version of "Tracking the Stone Man: West Virginia Bigfoot".

Imagine the most popular heroic story ever written, one which spans three millennia & goes to the very heart of the largest religion in the world, but which has now almost entirely devolved into myth. Ignored & avoided by the establishment, shunned & unexplored by archaeologists & historians, consigned to the back-rooms of academic study, yet everyone knows the characters & the plot - the tales of King Arthur & his Knights Of The Round Table. But no-one knows the reality! Or do they? In Mark Olly's latest book, The Polychronicon he unpicks the confusion to reveal the reality of Arthur to prove there is always a kernel of truth in most legends.

I welcome back author Kenney W Irish to discuss his latest book, International Cryptids and Legends and some of the creatures, myths and legends he covers inside it. The book shine's a light on some particular countries that often get overlooked when we look in to some of the more notable international cryptids. Often Nessie, the Yeti and the Yowie take all the glory but Kenney brings some less well known characters to the fore.  From more hairy hominids from around the world, werewolves turning up in unexpected countries, giant bats and even man eating plants pepper the conversation. The book is here: Thanks for joining me Kenney.

There's a misconception that there are no great haunting cases being reported in the modern era, but in this world of lacklustre paranormal television, the great ones can get over looked for the same cliched hauntings. Keith Linder moved in to his new home with his partner Tina in 2012, looking forward to the opportunities life was giving him. New job, new partner and a wonderful new home. Yet, what Keith and Tina didn't realise was that the property wasn't exactly empty and the paranormal residents were about to make them very aware of their displeasure. In this first part, Keith takes us through some of the incredible incidents that occured during their first two years in what they became to know as the Bothell Hell House. Keith's books can be found here: His YouTube channel is here: Keith will be returning for part two later in the spring and I am grateful for him joining me for a hair raising conversation!

We head back to the days of the wild west for another collection of creepy stories saved from obscuity by John Lemay in another of his fantastic Cowboys series of books. This time we head out across the America's looking into cases and encounters which feature a wide range of canid cryptids roaming the plains, woods and towns as every day people end up encountering creatures thought only to exist in myth. From lovelorn werewolves, to magical transformations, hell hounds and dogmen, it seems that in some cases blaming dodgy liquer or heat exhaustion just doesn't cut the mustard.

Campers, walkers, tourists and even gamekeepers have had encounters with something that has challenged everything they thought they knew about the world around them. Something strange is going on in the woods, moors and forests of East and North Yorkshire and whatever these people are experiencing is leaving them distressed, with the ramifications staying with them for weeks and even months in some cases. Paul SInclair returns to discuss his new documentary "Wolflands" which features interviews with several witnesses who claim to have encountered some kind of tall, menacing bipedal canid wandering the darkness of Yorkshire. We try to get to the bottom of just what on earth is terrifying people across the county.  You can find Paul's work here at his new website: Paul's YouTube channel is here: Wolflands information can be found here: A big thank you as always for Paul for joining me on the show!

Some places just seem to be a magnet for strangeness and the small Canadian city of Revelstoke seems to be just that. Nestled on the banks of the Colombia river and sitting high in the mountains, skiing seems to be the main reason for tourists to visit but lurking in the shadows seem to all kinds of strange phenomena from across the paranormal spectrum. One man uncovered far more than he anticipated and found himself moving from sceptic to a believer and author, podcaster, creator and producer Brennan Storr joins me to discuss cases covered in his book, "A Strange Little Place" The book can be found here: The Ghost Story Guys can be found here: A big thank you to Brennan for joining me on this show.

From lost children being saved in the woods, to a face to face encounter whilst cutting wood to giants sighted near the Bighorn Dam, you will be in little doubt that these are not misindentified bears.

On todays episode, I welcome Chad Lewis back to the show to discuss his new book Winter Legends and Lore.

Graeme cut his teeth collecting ghost stories from Aberdeenshire before moving on to Edinburgh and we've discuss a wide variety of hauntings.

September 1996 and an alleged UFO incident occurred that challenged the belief of even the most open minded researchers and investigators and offered the most controversial report of the 1990s in the UK. 4 people, two adults and two children all witnessed strange lights, saw odd creatures and perhaps even had something else occur to them. All of them had different responses to the events they were party to and for some of them, the encounter was just the beginning of the event. It's a warm welcome back to Malcolm Robinson to discuss the Falkland Hill incident and offer us an insight based on a first hand report and interview conducted by himself in autumn of 1996. Some have dismissed it as a hoax, some say it was a hallucination but others believe that something strange happened to those four people on that evening.

I'm delighted to welcome Kevin Lee Nelson for his first solo appearance on the show and his third overall. Previously we've dived in to Wendigo and the Big Muddy Monster but on this episode things are firmly in the realm of the supernatural. Kevin has had a long interest in ghosts and hauntings and loves nothing better than booking himself in to some of the most notorious haunted hotels across America. He gives us some first hand experiences along with some of the history that these locations have. We also cover his upcoming book, which will be focusing on the lore and legends from across the Americas covering black dogs and hell hounds and some of his favourite tales from this particular facet of the paranormal.

It's a warm welcome back to one of my favourite guests Ken Gerhard for a long overdue catch up since his last appearance back on Episode 120! Ken's had a hectic year with conferences, filming, expeditions and more and gives us a break down of some of the things he's been up to this year. We cover his trip out to California on the hunt for the Giant Salamander, a creature that seems to be as elusive as many water based creatures and a trip to Bluff Creek to pay homage and help out at the Patterson-Gimlin film site. A brief foray into Bigfoot reports then leads us to finally get our teeth into Europe's most famous cryptid case, the infamous Beast of Gevaudan.

They say everything is bigger in Texas and it seems that could even apply to the hundreds of stories about encounters with large, hairy bipedal creatures wandering around the Lone Star State.

It seems as the world opens up and more avenues and channels appear for people to share experiences and find support, more and more encounters with the Fae seem to be being reported.

One subject causes more friction in the world of the supernatural more than any other; Possession. Cultures and religions throughout history and all across the world can point to examples in both the written word and their oral traditions yet in the modern era, possession is often dismissed as mass hysteria, religious propaganda or mental illness. Yet, Dt Richard Gallagher, a professor of psychiatry at New York Memorial and pyschoanalyst at Colombia University isn't so sure it should be so easily dismissed. In his book. Demonic Foes, Dr Gallagher lifts the lid on his work in this field over the last 30 years and is now considered the leading scientific expert on possession. We discuss some of the cases he has been involved in over this period along with his medical expertise in verifying just what makes these rare cases genuine.

On todays episode, I am joined by investigative journalist and ufo researcher Paola Harris to discuss an intriguing case that occurred two years prior to the infamous Roswell incident.  In her newly updated book, co-authored with the legendary Jacques Vallee, Trintiy: The Best Kept Secret, Paola looks into the reports that some strange sort of avocado shaped object crashed in the area near the White Sands Proving Ground in the late summer of 1945. With the US having tested the atomic bomb the month previously, did this signal our growth beyond the realms of the earth and encourage visitations to check us out.  With interviews with first hand witnesses, allegations of cover ups, encounters with alien beings and stolen wreckage all pointing to the Trinity incident being an extremely intriguing case.  A big thank you to Paola for joining me: Her website can be found here:  The book can be found here: Our Patreon is now live, with bonus content, early release of the regular show, articles and more.

Today, I welcome back author M R Gorga to discuss more encounters with dark shapes and unseen entities lurking in the night. His book, Demons Among Us has proven to be wildly successful since its release and we dive into some of the reports he's recieived since we last spoke back on Episode 127. We look at the witch trial of Rebecca Greensmith and misperceptions surrounding the witch panic in the New World in the 17th century to more attacks in the dark and strange encounters when people sleep. There's also a look at the last attempt to prosecute someone for witchcraft in the USA in the late 19th century, ironically in Salem.

We head to New Jersey today in the company of Mike Familant, producer and creator of In The Shadow Of Big Red Eye YouTube Channel focusing on his expeditions and investigations in the search for Bigfoot. His interest in the subject was piqued after experiencing some strange experiences on his first experience of searching for cryptids in Florida on an event organised by the Finding Bigfoot team back in 2011. Mike moved back to New Jersey and thought his Bigfooting days were behind him only to discover that the state was a hotbed for activity, reports and witnesses. Mike talks about his introduction in to the field, some of his experiences out in the field, some of his favourite locations, his encounters with some witnesses and his future plans going in to 2023.

Just after World War II, it seemed that people began to see something strange in the skies all across the world. From the summer of 1947, we officially entered the age of the UFOs. Over the next twenty years, sightings and encounters were reported across the enire world, people claimed to have spoken with aliens with important messages, strange creatures interacted with humans and animals and it seemed nothing was too strange to be investigated. In his new book, "The Flying Saucer Investigators", author Charles Lear takes us on a journey in to the strange, unusual and sometimes frankly absurd world of UFOlogy in those post war years. From alien metals investigated by Kenneth Arnold, to the birth of the infamous Philadephia Experiment, Men In Black and even dog loving aliens, it seemed these new investigators had to deal with anything thrown at the them!

We return to the world of the paranormal as our good friend Morgan Knudsen returns to talk all things parapsychology and her fabulous new book, "The Gift Of Instinct". In her latest book, Morgan unravels the moden misconceptions of negativity, fear and terror that seem to have seeped in to the modern cultural presentations of the paranormal online, on televison and other media. We discuss some of the ways we can open our minds to reach our paranormal potential and understand more about the other side and frequencies just beyond our reach. We look at some of the pioneers in the field and some of the continuing work in the field, how grief can block us from having encounters and much more.

The UK has had a long history of strange encounters with black, hulking shapes that leave the witnesses or experiencers shaken to the core. To some, these encounters are being manipulated to fit an agenda of promoting their stance that Bigfoot has crossed the Atlantic to take up residency here in the British Isles, yet for many others, these interactions are simply a continuation of the centuries old sightings of ghostly monks. Yet even this doesn't quite cover all the experiences. Could these encounters be down to the Fae, Boggarts, the Universal Trickster or something else entirely? Fortean Times contributor Stu Neville returns to join me as we try to unpick this unholy mess of high strangeness. A big thank you as always to Stu for joining me.

Paranormal history is littered with numerous stories of hauntings associated with numerous inanimate objects from every populated continent in the world. From drums, chairs, walking sticks and countless dolls, it seems ghosts are quiet happy to use an object as a tether to the world. In her new book, Haunted Heirlooms, author Anna Maria Manolo has collected five stories of objects you may never have considered as potential vessels for the other side to make themselves known to us. We discuss some of the first hand accounts from the book, including Anna's hair raising experience after purchasing an antique chair with a price that really was too good to be true, along with the power of works of art to mesmerise us, why visiting a friend who wants to put you in a haunted bed isn't a good idea and much more.

When we consider what may happen to us when we die, many people over the years have claimed to have been able to have a glimpse of what could await us on the other side through a Near Death Experience (NDEs). Since the 1960's this phenomena has been discussed, collected and investigated from across the world and yet for some, this is nothing more than dreams or erratic brain functions in stressful situations. In their new book Dying Light - An Investigation Into Near Death Experience, Jason Hewlett and Peter Renn set out to find what people believe they've experienced and why some scientists feel its easily explained. Jason joins me to discuss the book, grief, trauma and the journey the book took both he and Peter on as they met experiencers, researchers and sceptics.

On today's episode I am delighted to welcome Lady Ann Selene to the show to dive in to her haunted history and lifetime of paranormal encounters that she has covered in her debut book "Aperture In The Veil". Lady Ann takes us through ghost hunting, encounters with Shadow People and playing with homemade ouija boards.

In a time when the world realised just how fragile it is, author and archeologist Mark Olly's new book "Crystal Skulls and Human Heads" brings a new view of what it means to be human, what the planet really is, how extinction is simply a part of nature and how the whole of life we so comfortably fit in to may not be quite what it seems. From the muddled history of crystal skulls, to the fall of ancient civilizations and epoch defining cataclysmic events, myself and Mark look at hidden histories and new discoveries to consider that things are never as cut and dried as some may wish us to believe. Mark takes us out of our comfort zone this week and I thank him for that. His book is here: Our Patreon is now live, with bonus content, early release of the regular show, articles and more.

Over the millennia, we have relied upon mystics, shamans and priests to explain what awaits us in the next life but what if it is all an illusion? What really lurks behind the veil that seperates this world from the next? Could this world be something real and tangible and literally not of this earth. What if the afterlife or other types of phenomena are all linked in some way, an illusion created by beings that exist in the periphery of our world and this other realm? In "The Deception of Gods and Men" Barry Fitzgerald and Brian Allan dive in to the possibilities that we are all being manipulated by some shadowy puppetmasters who simply change their masks to suit the era's that they appear in. Barry joins me for a thought provoking conversation on this fascinating topic. The book can be found here: His website is here: Thank you to Barry for joining me this week.

Cryptids are a world wide phenomeon with strange creatures being encountered and reported on every continent and countless witnesses.  In his new book, In Search of Real Monsters, our good friend goes on a globe trotting monster hunt to cover some of the most intriguing creatures that inhabit other countries. We head to Africa to look into the numerous accounts of dinosaurs somehow surviving into the modern era, known as Mkolele-Mbembe.  South America is allegedly still supporting the Giant Ground Sloth, with reports still occurring, then we chase down the Mongolian Death Worm, hiding out in the Gobi Desert before visiting Russia looking for the legendary Yeren.

It's time to set a course for South Carolina on the hunt for more monstrous residents lurking in the woods, lakes and tunnels surrounding the beautiful of one of the US's most historic states with our good friend David Weatherly. I finally get a chance to get into one of my very favourite cryptid cases, the infamous Bishopville Lizard Man which made a small, sleepy town a nationwide monster hunting magnet for a couple of years in the mid to late 80s. Once you hear what really went down, you may consider something other than a giant lizard was on the rampage. We meet Lake Monsters, Cymbees, a Mermaid tthat brought a town to a stand still and a terrifying creature known as the Third Eye Man who stalked the tunnels under a university campus, scaring students and police officers alike. It's always a pleasure speaking with David and I know you love his appearances, so you'll not be disappointed with the monsters we shine a light on this week.

We dive into the belief of reincarnation and the realisation that for many cultures, death is not the end and is simply the beginning of the next stage of life for our spirit.  Kimberly discusses the variety of entities that she has encountered and how they can effect different individuals depending on the type of entity they are. Alongside this, we also discuss some cases and challanges that Kimberly has had to face down.  When you've felt different all your life, how can having a connection to the spirit world challenge you on a day to day basis.

With over 40 years of experience chasing ghosts, UFO's, Nessie and much, much more, there aren't many aspects of the unusual he hasn't been involved in. We dive into three of Malcolm's most recent books, The Sauchie Poltergeist which covers an incredible case from the 1960's and is surely one of the most compelling infestations in British paranormal history. A quick hop across the Irish Sea to then discuss the current case of one family from Dublin Ireland, who have found themselves subjected to unwanted contact with the ‘Hat Man’, Shadow People, and the Greys. FInally, Malcolm updates us on the harrowing abduction of two men from their car as they were driving down the A70 road between the city of Edinburgh and the small town of Tarbrax. In his newly updated book, The A70 UFO incident, Malcolm breaks the case down with historical reports, hypnosis transcripts and interviews with all the key parties.

Strange phenomena is often puzzling enough for those unfortunate to find themselves in the middle of an odd encounter and it seems that it happens across a variety of strange events. Joining me to look into some of these weird events is author W T Watson with his new book Mysteries in the Mist which looks at some very perplexing cases. We meet a man lost in time, ponder an infamous alleged Sea Monster attack, look at a peculiar alien encounter with some jelly bags, spirits on the high seas and much more.

Imagine how you would feel if you found yourself in the middle of something that the authorities simply tell you didn't happen. How would you respond? Would you question your sanity, would you consider how you view the reality of what is "truth" and just how you now view the world in the cold light of day? My guest this week is Caz Clarke, a lady who has been told that despite having a close encounter above her own home, she has consistently been told that nothing she and her neighbours saw happened. Several people saw some enormous craft fly over their heads, heard two loud explosions rock the area and encountered groups of strangers searching the local fields. When people ask where all the new UFO cases are listening to Caz will make you realise something deeply unusual happened over those nights in February 2016. A massive thank you to Caz for joining me despite everything she has been through since she went public.

On this weeks show, we journey to the historic and scenic nation of Wales to uncover some of the rich history of hauntings from across the country in the company of author and journalist Mark Rees. Mark has written two collections; Ghosts of Wales: Accounts from the Victorian Archives – reveals for the first time more than 50 hair-raising – and in some cases, comical – real life accounts from Wales dating from 1837 to 1901 and Paranormal Wales which takes the reader on a spine-chilling journey to dozens of these locations, which include well-known tourist landmarks and more secluded spots well off the beaten track. Mark and I dive into a famous poltergeist case, from Swansea  and you can view an interview with a clearly frightened Marcia Howells here, a collection of haunted pubs, some creepy castles and the amazing story of the opera singer Adelina Patti and her love affair with the country. It was a long overdue visit to Wales's haunted history and Mark is the perfect guide.

On this episode of Mysteries and Monsters, I am joined by our good friend Carl Marshall from the Centre of Fortean Zoology to discuss the world of zombies both in the Caribbean and popular culture. We cover a couple of notable cases that saw the myth become a reality and finally saw the zombie move out of Haiti and into the mainstream. We also discuss some of our favourite zombie films from history including Night of the Living Dead, Return of the Living Dead, BrainDead, Versus, 28 Days Later and some of the more notorious Spanish and Italian entries into hthe genre.

November 1957 and strange things are afoot in the Texan town of Levelland. What happened here clearly shows us that even at this point the US Government and the USAF were clearly engaged in a concerted effort to supprress the situation.  Despite numerous witnesses, clear sightings, cars and radios stalled and full of static, alleged landing sites and more were dismissed and deemed as irrelevant by the authorities and Project Blue Book.  Shedding light on this remarkable case is esteemed ufologist and researcher Kevin Randle. We discuss the case as well as diving into the Socorro case and Roswell. Kevin is someone who I've wanted to speak with for a long time so I was delighted to finally have the opportunity to finally speak with him. Kevin's website is here: The book is here: As mentioned in the episode, tickets for Dr. Rob Gandy's talk on the Ruskington Horror and more can be found here:   Our Patreon is now live, with bonus content, early release of the regular  show, articles and monthly prizes for everyone who signs up!

On this weeks episode I am delighted to be joined by author and researcher Zelia Edgar to discuss her fantastic new book "Another Tin Foil Hat Presents" which dives into a whole slew of fortean cases. Zelia has built a growing reputation as a passionate and driven researcher and has brought a fresh perspective to some of the more well known cases whilst also bringing some more obscure accounts and reports into the modern era. So join us as we head to the 1950's to visit Hopkinsville on the hunt for some space goblins and then go on the search for the Flatwoods Monster and dispel some of the myths that have sprung up in both cases. We then meet the unfortunate Mr Shrum and his encounter with some creatures that left him with nightmares for the rest of his life, a family who find themselves caught in a strange situation that causes us to consider the possibility of a cryptid ghost and a Bigfoot encounter that takes a very unexpected turn. Zelia also discusses her love of John Keel amongst touching upon the Men In Black, Forteana and more. Zelia's book can be found here: Zelia's YouTube website is here: It was a delight speaking with Zelia on today's episode.

On this weeks show I welcome Adam Benedict to the show to discuss his fabulous new book, Oddities in Print, the third book of his brilliant "In Print" series. Adam has trawled historical newspaper articles from the 19th and early 20th century to uncover some of the strangest and peculiar articles you will have ever read and both of us chuckle at some these lost gems. We discuss a strange group of people who appear from nowhere, the earliest report of the killer giants living in the Okefenoke swamp, strange footprints, phantoms that instil fear, a dog that plays dominoes, a freaky table, balls of fire, a gopher headed chicken and the frankly crazy case of the human cucumber.

This week we are off on a paranormal road trip around some of Illinois most haunted locations outside of Chicago in the company of our good friends director Joe Tury and Chad Lewis. Joe's latest documentary, Paranormal Prairie, takes us on a journey around the Prairie States less well known haunted hotspots that deserve a wider audience. We head down to the area of high strangeness that surrounds Williamsburgh Hill, which seems to be home to all sorts of phenomena from cryptids, to strange lights, UFO's and of course ghosts. One of which seems to try and entice children to come and play in the afterlife. Greenwood cemetery also hosts some supernatural residents and we also take a trip to Alton's infamous Mineral Springs Hotel, meet a haunted statue, brave the Seven Gates of Hell before meeting the scariest spectre the state hosts, that of the murderess Julia Markham.

As any regular listeners know, one of my favourite crypitds out there is of course Australia's fearsome Yowie and who better to talk with than our old friend from the early episodes than Yowie Dan. Since we last spoke, Dan has appeared on the fantastic documentary Track: Searching For Australia's Bigfoot directed by Attila Kaldy, which features a whole host of Australia 's finest cryptozoologists discussing the giant. Dan talks us through the documentary, the locations they investigated, some of the strange things they discovered and the stunning Blue Mountains. Yet it seems there wasn't just Yowie's that the team had to be aware of as Dan also tells us about some decidedly paranormal incidents that left them looking over their shoulders more than once. You can contact Dan at [email protected] or check his blog here: Track: Seaching For Australia's Bigfoot can be seen on Prime or Tubi in North America and YouTube rental in Euope.  A massive thanks to Dan for joining me this week.  Our Patreon is now live, with bonus content, early release of the regular show, articles and more.

On this weeks show I am joined by Tobias Wayland from the Singular Fortean Society to delve into some their case files included in his new book , Strange Tales Of The Impossible.  The new book has something for anyone who finds strange encounters across a myriad of unusual phenomenon fascinating and Tobias, alongside his wife Emily have been interviewing experiencers for several years. From Cryptids and moments of lost time to a UFO encounter that ended up being included in Project Blue Book, a smartly dressed ghost who keeps returning, terrifying flying creatures and a picnic that takes a turn into the strange, the book has it all and we cover plenty of these cases.

This week I am joined by the notable Canadian psychic and paranormal investigator Jim Hunt. Jim's career has spanned decades and has seen him travel the world in a quest to find answers to the questions of the reality of life after death and the possibilities of what this could mean. We discuss his history in the world of the paranormal and how he dealt with the ramifications of what he began to see and hear, his work on the Canadian TV show "Knock Knock Ghost" which can be seen on Prime as well as Jim taking us on haunted tour of Montreal and Eastern Canada. It's always interesting to hear about hauntings and locations we're not that familiar with or discussed as some more famous cases. and Jim is on fine form throughout our conversation.

This week author Anna Maria Manolo rejoins me to discuss her latest book "The Way Through The Woods".  The book tells of the true story of Krista, a young girl who's life is torn apart by the rise of Nazi Germany as her family suffer the consequences of refusing to comply with the regimes rules. Stripped from her family, Krista eventually escapes into the forests of Bavaria as she attempts to be reunited with her father. The forests hold their own secrets and as both of them discover, the shadows play host to supernatural spirits who also bear the scars of war. It's a powerful and emotional story and a big thank you to Anna for joining me once more.

As we head in to the new year, I welcome back the wonderful Morgan Daimler to dive into some more Irish myths and legends. Morgan's knowledge on these subjects always educates and opens us up to learning so much about topics we may not know the real history about some creatures we will have heard about. We look into the real story of the Leprechaun and not the gold hording modern version we all know in popular culture and numerous b-movies over the years. Next, we discover Lugh who was a God of Ireland who is also found in other Celtic language speaking cultures, popular historically and just as well loved today. His story is of epic proportions and one more people should know about. Morgan also introduces us to two blood thirsty vampires of Irish lore, the Dearg Dur who's broken hearted suicide saw her rise from the dead seeking revenge and the Abhartach, one of the fiercest of the Irish mythological creatures. We also get an introduction to the Aos Sidhe, the People of the fairy mounds, and to Irish fairy beliefs to understand the place that fairies have had in Ireland across the millennia and into today as well as a brief chat about the Welsh pixie.

We head to one of the US's most underated states when it comes to incidents of high strangeness, cryptid encounters and puzzling situtions this week in the company of our good friend, David Weatherly. Montana is quite rightly known as the Big Sky state, a vast expanse that seems to be less well known than many other "strange states" from around America but once you look in to the historical reports, things become far clearer. We have the fearsome Shunka Warak'in, a terrifying canid cryptid killed in the late 19th century that has confounded scientists and cryptozoologists ever since! Montana also is home to one of the most notorious Bigfoot encounters in written history, the infamous Baumann case but that is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to encounters with North America's most well known cryptid. Yet, that's not all that lurks in the state, we've Flessie, the resident lake Monster who lives in Flathead Lake, flesh eating baby monsters on the hunt for unwary travellers and bizarre case of bird monsters chasing truckers over state lines.

As I've mentioned before, ghost stories are an important part of the traditions for more and more people each year.  As many of us look back at seasons past, the era of the Victorian christmas saw the ghost story become wildly popular.  Here's one of my favourites that I read many years ago in a collection entitled "Not Exactly Ghosts" by Sir Andrew Caldecott from 1947.   Christmas Reunion is the last story in the book and it's stayed with me ever since I read it as a youngster.  As a christmas treat, here it is courtesy of Project Guggenberg.   Merry Christmas!

This week we delve in to the world of folklore in the company of Icy Sedgwick, host of the brilliant Fabulous Folklore podcast. Icy's show often educates us about a whole range of topics in the pantheon of folklore and always tells me something new each episode. As such, it was an absolute pleasure to finally have a chance to spend some time in her company. We cover a wide range of subjects, from Astronomy to the Solstice, Ancient cultures to Halloween, Christmas ghost stories to weird feet, so pour yourself a glass of sherry and enjoy our festive discourse!

This week, I am joined by author, researcher and investigator Preston Dennett to discuss the incredible number of UFO encounters that have occurred over schools all around the world.  Whilst many people may have heard of two of the most famous cases, Westall in Austalia which occurred in 1966 and the Aerial incident from 1994 in Zimbabwe, it seems these are just the tip of the iceberg.  Preston's book has 100 cases from around the world and we dive into cases that defy all sceptical explanation and leave us with more questions than answers. Its an eye opening conversation that I found fascinating and deeply perplexing. A big thank you to Preston for joining me this week.

October 11th 1973 would become a night that would change the lives of two men, Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker, for the rest of their lives. Yet, it seems that this incident was simply the tip of the iceberg.  Something strange was going on all across the United States that month. A mysterious boom shattered windows in several towns, strange lights and craft were seen in several states, a small boy told of a strange new friend he'd made in the field near his home and the US Coastguard had an encounter with a USO.  Dr Irena Scott joins me to discuss a whole myriad of high strangeness going on across North America in the Autumn of 1973 and her new book, Beyond Pascagoula.

This week, we head to the northwoods of the United States in the company of our good friend Chad Lewis on the hunt for some unusual creatures lurking in the shadows. In his latest book, Lumberjack Creatures of the Northwoods , Chad introduces us to some strange and sometimes dangerous creatures hiding behind every tree. We meet the cute and curious Jackalope, often found near the camps of lumberjacks attracted by the singing of those hard working men, the docile and loveable Hugag, a no kneed gentle giant, the vicious Hide-Behind, a fearsome man eating scourge of the woods and the infamous Hodag, a fearsome creature that made newspaper headlines toward the end of the 19th century. It's always good to catch up with Chad and take a trip into a forgotten world of American folklore. Chad's books can be found here: A big thank you as always to Chad for his time and conversation.

This week, we go on the hunt for the most famous American Lake Monster, Champ in the company of researcher and investigator, Katy Elizabeth.  Katy has spent years on and under the surface of Lake Champlain, which is found straddling the states of Vermont and New York as well as Quebec in Canada on the hunt for the legendary inhabitant, Champ. Stories of Champ go back centuries and hundreds of eye witnesses have come forward with their own witness accounts and sightings throughout that time. Katy updates us on her work, some previous encounters, her new boat, the types of research that she utilises and some upcoming projects on the way. Katy's facebook page is here: A big thank you to Katy for joining me again.

It's a warm welcome back to David Weatherly to discuss his latest publication in his Monsters of North America series as we head down to the South East state of Georgia.  We cover a wide mix of strange creatures of land and sea. We meet the fearsome Hogzilla, which made world wide headlines back in 2004 after being shot and killed by a hunter, take a trip to the town of Darien on the banks of the Altamaha to meet Altie, the local water monster who has startled and surprised many of the residents.  There's also a couple of contrasting Bigfoot stories from both ends of the belief spectrum, from a notorious hoax from 2008 to some creepy encounters at a farm in the mid-90s. We also look at a strange case from the late 19th century of something stealing pigs, legends of swamp dwelling giants and the curious case of the  Werewolf of Talbot County.  David's site is here: A big thank you as always to David for his time, company and conversation.  Our Patreon is now live, with bonus content, early release of the regular show, articles and more.    Join here now for the flat fee of $4 a month which is a bargain!    Don't forget, you can now show your support with our Merchandise shop on Redbubble!

As we hit 150 episodes, its a warm welcome back to the ever popular Paul Sinclair as he eyes the release of both his latest instalment of his Truth Proof series of books alongside his upcoming cryptid documentary "Wolflands".  Paul and I discuss my recent trip to join him on the cliffs of Bempton and a nights investigation, some of the witnesses to more strange phenomena both in the air and on the land. Wolflands focuses on a series of encounters in the East and North Yorkshire that has left witnesses shaken and questioning their comprehension of reality of what they believe. Just what is going on?? It was great to catch up with Paul and hear all about the latest incidents and new witness encounters.

On this final episode of the spooky season , author J W Ocker joins me to lift the lid on some notorious cursed objects from around the world which he's covered in his new book, Cursed Objects.  Jason tells us how his journey into this subject saw him purchase his very own cursed object to get him into the mindset of what owning one would do to his belief that there are no such things as demonic inanimate possessions and how he tracked one down from Ebay.  We look at the infamous Dybbuk Box, a modern creation or hoax that seems to have taken on a life of its own despite being outed as nothing more than a tall tale, his visit to Zak Bagan's haunted museum to see it in real life, some of the disturbing exhibits, the strange story of the Black Aggie, the ring of Silvanius and its alleged connection with JRR Tolkein and much more.

This week, I dive into a subject that has always fascinated me, Spontaneous Human Combustion. I remember seeing what remained of Dr. John Bentley whose remains were discovered in December 1966 and that image has stayed with me all my life.  I'm joined by investigator and author Larry Arnold to discuss this peculiar and terrifying topic and some of the cases he has investigatd and covered in his brilliant book, Ablaze.   We cover several of the most perplexing SHC cases including Dr. Bentley, George Mott and more whilst trying to unravel the disturbing evidence, the sceptical dismissals of the phenomena and just why the wick effect explanation simply doesn't stand up to scrutiny. It's a challenging and thought provoking conversation and please be aware that some listeners may find some of the descriptions of the scenes disturbing.

On todays show, we delve into one of my favourite paranormal subjects, the mysterious Phantom Black Dogs that stalk the highways and byways of many a darkened lane in England and beyond. From the Bargest to the Padfoot, the Black Shuck to Gytrash, stories of encounters with these corperal entities span centuries but it seems they roam far beyond the shores of the UK. Joining me to discuss his new book "Phantom Black Dogs" is author W T Watson. We discuss some of the most notable cases in regards to these frightening creatures including the infamous Beast of Bungay, the Snarly Yowl from the USA, Black Dogs that vanish in plain sight and much more.

This week, I am joined by author, researcher and investigator, Christopher O'Brien. Chris has been investigating strange events, anomalous phenomena and cryptids for over 30 years and has collated a whole history of the cattle mutalations that have plagued farmers ranchers across the world. Chris and I cover several cases, his investigati began sons, some of the alleged theories put forward to explain these disturbing events and how it seems that one explanation simply can't be used to cover all the cases. From Ufo's to Satanists, hoaxers to shady Government conspiracies. it seems that far more seems to be going on than anyone could possibly ever consider and Chris explains as many as he can. Its a subject I've wanted to cover since I started and Chris is the authority on this disturbing mystery.

On this weeks show, I am delighted to be able to welcome Bruce Champagne to Mysteries and Monsters.  Bruce has spent years investigating reports of encounters and sightings of hominids in locations many would unaware of, the vast expanses of desert terrain across North America.  Despite the modern perception that you're more likely to encounter Bigfoot in the Pacific North West, there have been hundreds of sightings of large hominids going back centuries in states such as Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and more going back to the 18th century.  Bruce discusses his investigations and some intriguing accounts before we talk about his other cryptozooligical passion, sightings of Sea and Lake Monsters.  As a marine biologist, Bruce is uniquely placed to give us the low down on water based cryptids along with his extensive research as well as covering a few cases along the way.  A big thank you to Bruce for his time and insight.  Bruce would appreciate any leads or encounters to be passed on via our email address.  Our Patreon is now live, with bonus content, early release of the regular show, articles and more.

We touch on MonsterQuest before diving into his latest project, a sequel to his seminal Bigfoot documentary, Legend Meets Science II. We discuss the potential groundbreaking evidence being collected, the collaborators involved with the documentary, his work with Les Stroud on Survivorman: Bigfoot and ponder the big questions in regards to the continuing search for definitive evidence of Bigfoot.

Michelle has recently released her second book, "Bigfoot in Maine" which is a collection of first hand accounts from residents who have an experience they can't explain.

We dicuss some of the fantastic accounts she has included in her book, her journey to the book being published, her love of the weird and the work on Strange Maine too.

For many, one incident brought the UFO topic into the mainstream and even over 70 years later, people can't get enough of it. Of course I am refering to the Roswell incident.   July 1947 saw strange reports hit the press, then an official retraction and it seemed the case died down until the late 1970s saw the case re-ignited, primarily by Jesse Marcel who had decided to come clean about the event to ease his concious.  Since then hundreds of witnessses have come forward but what may surprise you is the number of celebrities, from actors and musicians to investigative journalists and royalty have all become obsessed with Roswell.  Joining me to discuss his latest book, co-authored with Donald Schmidt is Thomas Carey who has spent years researching the Roswell incident.  A noted investigator on Roswell, "Touched By Roswell - Crash Encounters of the Rich and Famous introduces us to over 100 notable individuals who all share an connection with that night back in July 1947. Many of them will surprise you and Thomas and I discuss several of the celebrities he covers in the book and the Roswell case in general.  A big thank you to Thomas for joining me this week.

This week, I am joined by author and West End Stage manager Nick Bromley to delve back into the world of the Paranormal on the hunt for haunted theatres!  Nick's book, "Stage Ghosts and Haunted Theatres" is a marvellous collection of first hand accounts of paranormal events drawn from theatres across the United Kingdom.  Nick and I battled through an ironic thunderstorm during our interview to discuss many of the cases he covers in his book, from the the murder of the Victorian superstar William Terris and his subsequent hauntings, an agressive ghost that made its presence felt to a member of staff cleaning up at the site of Wicked, a jacket with murderous intentions and even a story or two about Errol Flynn's haunted boat.  Despite the storms best attempts, we delve into some pretty spooky stories I am sure you'll enjoy.

On today’s show, author and investigator Anna Marie Manalo joins me to discuss her re-released and updated book, Portal: A Lifetime of Paranormal Experiences. Anna has been a supporter of the show, so it was lovely to have her back on to discuss Portal on Mysteries and Monsters. Portal is a book of two parts, the first focuses on a family in the Philippines who have become the unwitting tether to something malignant that has stayed with them for the best part of 70 years. Anna discusses how these series events could have begun, some of the incidents that have occurred and how they have learnt to deal with it over time.  The second half of the book focuses on some of the interviews and cases Anna has investigated around the world and the people effected by strange phenomena. We look at the case of a strange Tulpa plaguing a woman, a popcorn loving Bigfoot, a strange encounter in rural France and a haunting performance witnessed in Nice.  Thank you to Anna for joining me this week.

Marilyn Monroe is an icon of our time, despite passing away prematurely in August 1962. Her death has atttracted investigation since that time, with many inconsitencies in the official reports, missing personal items and dangerous personal liaisons with JFK and his brother Robert.  Yet, one aspect of her life seemed to remain hidden until rumours of President Kennedy's knowledge of secret UFO investigations inside the US Government and the fact that it may have been this information that was shared with Monroe that could have added to J Edgar Hoovers obsession with keeping tabs on her.  Nick Redfern joins me to shine a light on a papertrail that shows that the FBI were indeed keeping a close eye on Marilyn Monroe and others in her personal circle, a private eye who spent his career trying to crack the real truth of her death and more. With official documents proving that the FBI were spying on them, a document that surfaced in the public in 1994 may be real and if so, what are the ramifications for all of us if it is?

Joining me on this week's show is the marvellous Scottish parapsychologist, Evelyn Hollow. Many people will have heard Evelyn as one of the main contributors to the Battersea Poltergeist Podcast on BBC Radio 4 earlier this year.  Evelyn joins me to discuss the show, poltergeist cases, why some sceptical explanations are bad science, her personal haunted history and we also touch on cursed and haunted objects too.  We cover a lot of ground across a wide range of paranormal topics and no doubt Evelyn is someone we are going to here a lot more of in the future. Evelyn was great company and has a sharp mind and a dry wit, so I hope you enjoy our conversation in regards to the paranormal.  Evelyn's site is here:   Our Patreon is now live, with bonus content, early release of the regular show, articles and more.

This week, we dive into a topic we've never covered before and one that comes with plenty of controversy, Crop Circles.    Since they exploded into the public consciousness in the late 1980s, they've been debunked, ridiculed and explained as the work of two men. Yet can two men really be responsible for every agrglyph found in the UK? What about the ones outside of the UK? Can we ignore the witnesses and could these even be messages from extraterrestrials.   Joining me to discuss the subject is crop circle investigator Gary King,disclosure advocat Stephen Bassett and filmaker Darcy Weir. We discuss the enigmatic shapes found around the world, the hoax explanations, alien communication, animal mutilation and more in a challenging conversation.    A big thank you to all three of my guests for joining me this week.    Darcy's website is here:    Gary's page is here:    Stephen can be found here:   Our Patreon is now live, with bonus content, early release of the regular show, articles and more.

It's a welcome return to the search for Bigfoot with the wonderful Amy Bue. Amy has made a name for herself in the last decade as a diligent, humble and driven researcher in the field of cryptozoology.    Since witnessing a strange creature whilst driving in Ohio ten years ago, Amy has dedicated herself to push the boundaries of her knowledge in the subject.   Amy has brought a refreshing realism to the hunt for Bigfoot, and as a former member of the BFRO, Amy has now both aligned herself as a member of the Olympic Project as well as being the co-founder of Project Zoobook; a collaboration of scientists from a variety of disciplines.    We discuss some of Amy's favourite witness encounters, her quest to learn about Bigfoot, her work with the Olympic Project and Project Zoobook, the hunt for Bigfoot and some of the locations on her Bigfoot bucket list.    Amy is wonderful company and I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did.    You can email Amy at [email protected] Our Patreon is now live, with bonus content, early release of the regular show, articles and more.   Join here now for the flat fee of $4 a month which is a bargain!    Don't forget, you can now show your support with our Merchandise shop on Redbubble!

Possession is something that for many of us, seems too incredible to contemplate, to outlandish to even consider or maybe to frightening to accept as real. Throuhgout the ages, such cases often become notorious and many of them have become well known yet one seems to have slipped through the cracks, the case of Elizabeth Knapp. What makes this case all more suprising is that it was meticilously recorded by the chief witness in the case, the preacher Samuel Willard. Willard was a man who in the autumn of 1671, witnesses one of his servants, Elizabeth Knapp transform from a happy, bright and popular woman to one afflicted by possession. The case is all the more remarkable because rather than treat Elizabeth as a danger, Willard went out of his way to deal with this case in a balanced, scientific manner, completely against everything we presume. To discuss this case and more is author M R Gorga. His latest book, Demons Among Us covers the Knapp case in great detail with many details not having seen the light of day for almost two centuries.

This week, our good friend Richard Freeman re-joins us to discuss the history of Dragons, a creature that has haunted humanity's dreams since time began. From Asia to Australia, Europe to the America's, tales of Dragons go back centuries, yet even in this modern era, people are incrdibly still claiming to see Dragons. Richard takes us through the history of Dragons, the different types and the stories that have stood the test of time as well diving in to some of the more modern sightings from China, Russia, Iceland and the USA.

This week, it is a warm welcome back to Australian fortean researcher Tony Heal who takes us a on a globe trotting monster hunt. Tony opens his files from 50 years of research and investigation to cover a country whose cryptids are hardly known of, New Zealand. Tony takes on the search for tales of the Moehau, the islands own hairy man, the fearsome Taniwha, which inhabits waterways, the towering Moa and the frankly terrifying Haast Eagle, which preyed on the Moa. We also look into ball lightining, poltergeists, coincidence, Yeti's, Yowies and Black Panthers from across the world in a global monster and mystery hunt.  A massive thank you for Tony discussing many cases from around the world that many of us are probably unaware of.

It's a warm welcome back to Canadian paranormal researcher, investigator, lecturer and author Morgan Knudsen.    Morgan is well known to anyone who watches Paranormal 911 and Haunted Hospitals on Discovery as well as growing reputation in the field of paranormal research.   With a slant on what can cause a haunting, we discuss a variety of topics in the search for the reality behind hauntings.    Can an existing family dynamic create the right ingredients for a haunting? Can stress make people more susceptible to a haunting? Is it just energy leaking in from another dimension, causing our brain to misinterpret the information we recieve or are they just ghosts?    We discuss Morgan's book "Teaching the Living" which outlines the ideas and scenarios that can lead to what many believe to be hauntings but are they all so easy to explain?  Poltergeists, Wendigos and more are covered in our conversation and it was a pleasure to speak with Morgan again.    You can find Morgan's book here:    Morgan's site is here:   Thanks Morgan!    Our Patreon is now live, with bonus content, early release of the regular show, articles and more.   Join here now for the flat fee of $4 a month which is a bargain!    Don't forget, you can now show your support with our Merchandise shop on Redbubble!

David Weatherly's 5th book in his expanding State Monsters series takes us to one of the original 13 colonies, North Carolina, a state close to David's heart as he grew up here.    The Tar Heel state may not have the reputation of the some the USA's more notable cryptid hotbeds but you only have to mention the infamous case of the Beast of Bladenboro for people to take notice.   What is it about North Carolina that seems to be so favourable to some creature that we seem to have a population of mysterious predators that keep re-appearing every 20 years or so. Whilst the Beast of Bladenboro occurred in the 1950s, other flaps of creatures taking domestic animals has occurred worryingly regularity. We also look at the numerous Black Panther sightings across the state going back decades as well as looking into North Carolina's most famous Bigfoot,a Knobby and discuss some of the witnesses that had some very interesting encounters with a large hairy creature over the last 50 years.    Of course, the Casey Hathaway case is also pondered upon as myself and David wonder just how a 3 year old boy could survive in sub-zero temperatures. Casey of course famously claimed a "bear" looked after him and kept him safe.    We also touch on Michael Green and his footage of what he claimed was a Bigfoot, lured to appear on a thermal, which you can watch here:   David's site is here: A big thank you as always to David for his time, company and conversation.  Our Patreon is now live, with bonus content, early release of the regular show, articles and more.   Join here now for the flat fee of $4 a month which is a bargain!    Don't forget, you can now show your support with our Merchandise shop on Redbubble!

This week, I'm joined by American psychic and paranormal investigator John Russell from his home in Florida. John has been immersed in the paranormal since an encounter as a small boy in his family home in Texas.  A ghostly visitor awakened John's interest and his life has embraced his interest and experiences ever since. As his abilities developed, John sought to understand what this all meant and sought answers in both spiritual and religious organisations, giving him a more balanced understanding of the biases that all belief systems hold. John dicusses his early experiences, the intracacies of American talk radio, guardian angels, encounters with ghost animals and his involvement in a documentary searching for answers regarding the assassination of Abraham Lincoln for the History Channel that uncovered some unusual information that opened up new avenues for investigators and historians.

We all love a good monster mystery and some stand out from the majority either because they were so weird, so unusual or simply arrived and disappeared in a short space of time.    From the Dover Demon, to the Enfield Horror and one of my favourites, the Fresno Nightcrawler, unique cryptids are rarely spotted as rarely as these guys.   One of the weirdest also occured in the little town of Van Meter in the autumn of 1903. The origins of this weird, winged cryptid have baffle many a researcher but I am delighted to be joined by Chad Lewis to discuss the Van Meter Monster alongside his book with Kevin Lee Nelson and Noah Voss.    If you've never heard of the Van Meter Monster, then prepared to be baffled, mystied and more by a singular creature that terrorised the town over a seven day span before disappearing back to whence it came and the pagges of fortean folklore.    We also dive into Chad's latest book, Supernatural Dares of the Mid-West, which sees Chad brave his hand at investigating over 40 supernatural dares said to punish those who try their luck.    Chad's books can be found here:   A big thank you as always to Chad for his time and conversation.

After two years, we finally tackle the UK's most famous cryptid in the company of Ken Gerhard. Ken has recently released his latest book "The Essential Guide To Loch Ness and other Aquatic Cryptids" and we dive into the history of Nessie since she first came to the media's attention in 1933.    We cover some of the famous early sightings, THAT photo, the famous cryptozoologists who have joined the search for this enigmatic creature and Ken's theory on what Nessie could possibly be.    We then hop across the Atlantic Ocean to look into another aquatic beasty allegedly caught on camera more than once, Champ. Lake Champlain's own mysterious creature has been reported for the best part of 300 years and we look at the Sandra Mansi incident, some notable sightings and the work people like Katy Elizabeth are doing hunting for the USA's top aquatic monster.    Ken's site can be found here: His books can be found here:    A massive thank you to Ken for joining me once more on Mysteries and Monsters.  Our Patreon is now live, with bonus content, early release of the regular show, articles and monthly prizes for everyone who signs up!   Join here now for the flat fee of $4 a month which is a bargain!    Don't forget, you can now show your support with our Merchandise shop on Redbubble!

It's been a while since we dove into the world of Folklore but when you have an area steeped in unusual legends, mysteries and of course, monsters on your doorstep its hard to resist. Author and researcher, Charles Christian joins me today to examine the weird and wonderful history of an area known as the Wold Newton Triangle, an area hardly known in the UK, never mind Yorkshire. The Wold Newton triangle lies between the ancient city of York and the coastal town of Scarborough, with its top edge pointing towards Flamborough Head. Inside this area we have monoliths and earthworks, the mysterious Gypsey Race river, said to foreshadow great misfortune across the globe, the site of the Wold Cottage meteorite which caused a sensation when it crashed to earth in 1795. We also looke at the alleged skeleton of a dragon, killed by its greed and of course, its most notorious resident, the tale of Old Stinker, the UK's resident werewolf and a case Charles has investigated thoroughly. A big thank you to Charles for taking us on a trip around this little known area and sharing his werewolf hunting exploits.

This week I'm joined by author, investigator, filmaker and presenter Jason Hewlett to discuss his career in the world of the paranormal.    Jason has recently released "I Want to Believe" in conjuction with investigator Peter Renn through Beyond The Fray publishing. With a long interest in the paranormal, Jason's journey has taken him via film school and a decade in journalism to being part of the growing Canadian paranormal scene.   Starting off with some personal encounters in childhood, Jason has built his experience through solo investigations of the abandoned Tranquille Sanitorium outside of Kamloops, British Columbia and joining up with the Vancouver Paranormal Society to invesitgate more locations across the state.    With a balanced approach, Jason's experience in both film and print has seen him apply a more methodical approach to the paranormal. We discuss some of his notable investigations, the more notorious hauntings he wants to visit, his video investigation channel as well as what the future holds for both himself and Peter and how the book became a reality thanks to Shannon Legro on Into The Fray. We also take a detour in to the world of Bigfoot and an unnerving experience that Jason shares with us.    Jason's We Want To Believe can be watched here:   I Want To Believe can be found here:   Thank you to Jason for joining me on this week's show.    Our website is now up and running, you can find us here!    Our Patreon is now live, with bonus content, early release of the regular show, articles and monthly prizes for everyone who signs up!

We return to the world of the paranormal this week in the company of writer, presenter and producer, Danny Robins. Danny's latest project is diving into a Poltergeist case that caused national headlines back in the mid 1950s but seemed to have dropped off the paranormal radar until a decade ago.    In January 1956, 63 Whycliffe Road saw the arrival of one of the most active poltergeist cases in British history. Seemingly focusing on 15 year old Shirley Hitchings, the polt turned the lives of the Hitchings family upside down for the best part of decade, finally petering out in 1968.    Danny's wonderful series focuses on the work of the forgotten British parasychologist, Harold Chibbert and his hands on investigation of the disembodied spirit who claimed his name was Donald amongst many other things.    Featuring dramatic recreations with a stellar case including Toby Jones and Dafne Keen amongst others, The Battersea Poltergeist has been a phenomenal success via BBC Sounds. With Danny hosting the show, we discuss the shows germination, the two experts Ciaran O'Keefe and Evelyn Hollow and how Danny came across the case.    We dive into the world of the poltergeist and wrestle with the concept of just how anyone could have even faked so much of the incredible evidence witnessed over so many years.    A big thank you to Danny for joining me and to Hayley Stevens for introducing us properly.    You can find the show here:    Danny's website is here:   Our website is now up and running, you can find us here!    Our Patreon is now live, with bonus content, early release of the regular show, articles and monthly prizes for everyone who signs up!

June 1977 and two USAF EMT's have decided to spend a weekend camping in the Devil's Den State Park in Arkansas.   What was supposed to be a fun trip for two best friends to take in some wildlife and admire the clear night sky became a terrifying night that changed lives and relationship forever.    On this week's Mysteries and Monsters, I am joined by author and experiencer Terry Lovelace to discuss the events of that night in detail and the physical, personal and emotional ramifications of that incident.    Terry talks us through the build up to the event, the immediate aftermath and the myriad of unusual incidents that took place at both the hospital and his home.   This included strange visitors to his hospital room, mysterious nurses, unusual medication and a complete breakdown in his friendship with Toby, his best friend and companion on that night.    It's a compelling and emotional account and it was a pleasure to speak to Terry about the event and his life afterwards as he has battled to come to terms with what happened to him all those years ago.    Terry's website is here:    Terry's books are here:   A big thank you to Terry for joining me.    Our website is now up and running, you can find us here!    Our Patreon is now live, with bonus content, early release of the regular show, articles and monthly prizes for everyone who signs up!

Welcome back to Mysteries and Monsters! On this week's show, I welcome back authors and investigators Chad Lewis and Kevin Lee Nelson, alongside film director Joe Tury to discuss the mysterious case of Murphysboro's Big Muddy Monster. Joe has recently released a brilliant documentary, entitled Creature From Big Muddy: An Illinois Bigfoot Legend looking at this unusual case. Featuring Chad and Kevin and a host of witnesses and locations, the film delves into the legends and lore of the Big Muddy case. Our guides lead us on the hunt for this enigmatic cryptid. Whilst the main flap happened from 1972 to 1975, we discover that the Big Muddy Monsters seems to be a cyclical cryptid, especially based on its terrifying re-appearance in 1988! It was a real pleasure to have Kevin and Chad back on the show alongside Joe and I hope you enjoy our conversation. Kevin and Chad's site can be found here:  Big Muddy can rented via Amazon Prime in North America and Europe.

Welcome back to Mysteries and Monsters!   This week, I am delighted to welcome Stephen Bassett alongside filmaker Darcy Weir to discuss a variety of topics, including Darcy's new documentary Volcanic UFO Mysteries.    The new documentary features some frankly stunning footage captured by the Mexican authorities from their volcano monitoring systems. With interviews with Stephen and Jaime Musson amongst others, the film looks into the numerous sightings of unusual lights in and around volcanoes around the world.    Stephen also discusses the ongoing fight for full UAP disclosure, his hopes for a new raft of congressional hearings and the changing dynamic towards the reality of the UAP phenomenon and how the perceptions have changed since the leaking of the Tic Tac videos and the more besides.    Rather than considering this a "conspiracy", Stephen refers to this situation as a truth embargo, one that has been in place since 1952.   It's a thought provoking conversation which I hope you enjoy.    Stephen's website can be found here:    Darcy's site is here:   A big thank you to both for joining me today.    Our website is now up and running, you can find us here!    Our Patreon is now live, with bonus content, early release of the regular show, articles and monthly prizes for everyone who signs up!

As February draws to a close, I am joined by Canadian psychic Robert Lindsy Milne to discuss his career over the last 6 decades and the journey he has undergone throughout that time.    From starting out realising that perhaps he was tuned into something different at an early agge, Robert's life saw him end up working in the blossoming Toronto psychic circuit in his mid teens as he sought a hot meal and a warm bed above anything else. Avoiding the Canadian Witchcraft Act was an all together more intriguing situation.   Robert discusses his career, the path his life has taken him on, some of his experiences from around the world and how he views his life right now as he enters a period of life that most people would be considering slowing down.    Roberts website can be found here:    A big thank you for Robert for discussing his life and career with me.    Our website is now up and running, you can find us here!    Our Patreon is now live, with bonus content, early release of the regular show, articles and monthly prizes for everyone who signs up!   Join here now for the flat fee of $4 a month which is a bargain!    Don't forget, you can now show your support with our Merchandise shop on Redbubble!

This week I am joined by Amanda Woomer the power behind Spook Eats.   Amanda is the author of 5 books, including the fabulous "Haunted Atlas of Western New York" which is a fantastic guide to the haunted locations of New York state where you can also tantalise your tastebuds as well as getting your spooky on!    Amanda joins me to discuss her latest project, the Feminine Macabre, a collection of essays, articles and investigations by women from around the world in a new bi-annual collection.    The first edition is due to be released in the Spring, so we look forward to seeing it in print. We also discuss how Amanda got in to the paranormal, the other books in her canon as well as the fabulous collection of first-hand accounts of ghostly encounters at a location close to her heart, "The Ghosts of the Ghostlight Theatre" with all proceeds going to the venue's costs in these difficult times.    It was a pleasure to finally speak with Amanda and hope she returns soon!    Spook Eats can be found here:   Amanda's books can be found here.

Welcome back to Mysteries and Monsters.   After diving into the world of monsters last week, we delve into a mysterious item found upon the shores of Michigan's Upper Penisula. Known as the MacIntosh stone, this small, etched stone was discovered simply laying on ground, waiting to be rediscovered.    On it are some strange and unusual symbols that have caused consternation, confusion and more questions. What are the symbols? Are they an unknown form of Native American writing, a simply clever hoax or proof that European settlers arrived in the America's far longer than the narative suggests?    We know the Vikings made it to Nova Scotia, so is it such a stretch to imagine they pushed further down into the Great Lakes area from this settlement.   To discuss this enigmatic mystery is Ron Radamcher, a man with a love of Michigan and a thirst for adventure and mystery. We discuss the history of the MacIntosh stone, the theories put forward to explain it and the other mysterious clues the area shows us that suggest that maybe what we know isn't all that.    Ron's site can be found here:   A big thank you to Ron for his conversation!   Our website is now up and running, you can find us here!    Our Patreon is now live, with bonus content, early release of the  regular show, articles and monthly prizes for everyone who signs up!

Welcome back to Mysteries and Monsters.   This week, we return to the world of Cryptozoology and I am delighted to be joined by two key members of the Olympic Project, David Ellis and Shane Corson, alongside filmaker Darcy Weir.    Since I started the show, I have wanted to have someone from the Olympic Project as a guest due to the fantastic, science based research the team are working on in the Pacific North West. As someone with a deep interest in all things Sasquatch, the Olympic Project has been the gold standard in cryptozoology for several years now.   To have Shane and David join me was a real pleasure and we discuss all things Sasquatch alongside Darcy Weir, who's latest documentary, Sasquatch Among Wildmen features Shane amongst others.  We discuss how David, Shane and Darcy found themselves drawn into the world of Cryptozoology, the methods they use and we also listen to several audio clips kindly supplied by David for me to use in the show. It was a pleasure having all three on the show and I hope it isn't too long until we can return to the Olympic Project to discuss even more.    You can find the Olympic Project here:    Darcy's website is here:   Sasquatch Among Wildmen can found on Prime here:   Thank you to all three great guests this week!  Our website is now up and running, you can find us here!    Our Patreon is now live, with bonus content, early release of the  regular show, articles and monthly prizes for everyone who signs up!   Join here now for the flat fee of $4 a month which is a bargain!    Don't forget, you can now show your support with our Merchandise shop on Redbubble!

This week, it is a warm welcome back to author and investigator, Ruth Roper Wylde. Ruth's first appearance on Episode 91 saw plenty of listeners asking when she would be returning, so it was never going to be too long! Since that episode, Ruth has released her latest book, the second volume of These Haunted Times  and we dive into the book to discuss several of the cases included inside its covers!  We discuss an unusual haunting in Anglesey, Wales which seems to show two very different personalities over a considerable length of time, a ghost seen wandering the levels of HMP Lewes, the very haunted market town of Blandford Forum, a poltergeist that caused a family to lose money to escape its clutches, a haunted house that scared two seperate families in the airforce and much more besides.

This week, Kitsie Duncan joins me to discuss her new book, "I'd Rather Talk To Dead People".   Kitsie is well known from her TV show and podcast, The Oddity Files as well as hosting the Get Scared podacst and co-hosting Miss Murder.  Kitsie's effervescent personality and humour has seen her dive into the world of the paranormal after spending years being afraid of things that go bump in the night.    We discuss her motivation for writing the book amd some of her favourite haunted locations including Culbertson Mansion, the Fear Factory in Salt Lake City, the Old Lake County Jail and the infamous Bobby Mackey's.    It was a pleasure to have Kitsie join me on this week's show.    Kitsie's website can be found here:   Our Patreon is now live, with bonus content, early release of the regular show, articles and monthly prizes for everyone who signs up!   Join here now for the flat fee of $4 a month which is a bargain!    Don't forget, you can now show your support with our Merchandise shop on Redbubble!

This week, it is a warm return to Ufologist, investigator and publisher Philip Mantle to discuss his latest book, Investigating UFO's: A Young Person's Guide.   Philip has over 40 years of experience and has utilised this knowledge in his book to give anyone new to the subject a solid base of cases to work upon. With the book being split into decades since the 1940's, it offers 3 key cases per decade.   Yet, what sets the book apart is that Philip has re-introduced some cases that had simply fallen off the radar in the world of Ufology in favour of the usual cases we here about over and over again.    As such, we discuss 4 of the cases in the book, two of which are personal favourites, the incredible experience of the Knowles family incident that occurred on a drive across the Naribor plain in Australia in 1988 and the Reverend William Gill's frankly remarkable case from Papua New Guinea in the late 1950s.   We also look at the case of Maurice Masse and his missing lavender and the terrifying experience of Mary Morrison in Scotland from 1996. You can find more about the cases we discuss on the links below:    The Knowles family  Reverend William Gill    Maurice Masse  Mary Morrison    Flying Disk Press can be found here:    Thank you as always to Philip for joining me today.    Our Patreon is now live, with bonus content, early release of the regular show, articles and monthly prizes for everyone who signs up!

This week, we're taken on a trip around some of Ireland's most notable haunted locations in the company of author June Gossler Anderson. June's latest book "Hauntings and History of the Emerald Isle" has just been released via Beyond The Fray Publishing.    Part travelogue and part paranormal investigation, June's book covers her trip to Ireland back in 2015 and looks into more than just the ghosts. We look at the notorois Leap Castle, the scene of many a brutal murder and home to more than more than one haunting apparition, Enniscorthy Castle which saw tragic events imprint themselves upon the castle walls, June's experiences with table tipping and a rather cheeky set of spirits on a ghost hunt and some of the ghosts residing at Duncannon Fort.    June's website is here:    Beyond The Fray can be found here:    Our Patreon is now live, with bonus content, early release of the regular show, articles and monthly prizes for everyone who signs up!

Nick Redfern returns to Mysteries and Monsters to help us kick of the new year in style and act as our guide as we delve into the mysteries of the red planet and his book "The Martians". Mars has captivated us for centuries, from the Romans and Greeks up to the present day and our current exploration of the planet's surface. Nick and I discuss many of the aspects of his book, from the alleged sightings of canal's upon the surface, weird anomalies sighted in photographs, secret NASA programs and the potential for a civilisation ending event that could have been responsible for the end of a Martian civilisation. Nick also covers a couple of cases from his preceding book "Monsters Of The Deep" too as we look at strange creatures in the London underground and creepy sandwich stealing ghost in a pit. It was great to have Nick return to the show and both of his most recent books are highly recommended.

As we end the year, we welcome back Krissy Eliot to discuss the possibilities of the intelligence of plants. Krissy has just written a fantastic article for Edge Science magazine that looks in to the potential for sentience in plant life.  Whilst these cutting edge theories have been on the fringes of science for centuries, more and more scientists are uncovering some rather intriguing evidence to suggest we know next to nothing about the world of plants and how they actual live.  We cover numerous experiments, discuss the reality of plant networking, support, the response to predators even when unable to see or feel them and many other weird and wonderful discoveries covered in Krissy's outstanding article.

On this Christmas special, we have two guests for your entertainment. In the first hour, we have Mary Joyce discussing her book "Cherokee Little People Were Real". We discuss testimonies of men who discovered ancient little tunnels, small skeletons and even a child-size skull with all its wisdom teeth when they were working on early construction projects at Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, North Carolina. In the second part of the show, I am joined by Dennis Stone, owner of the enigmatic site near Salem, New Hampshire. Dennis has inherited the site and has spent the best part of 40 years trying to get the bottom of this unusual construction. To say the site is controversial would be an understatement and Dennis takes us through some of the unusual buildings and investigations carried out during this time. A big thank you to both my guests for joining me today.

It's a warm welcome back to one of our favourite guests, the marvellous Lyle Blackburn to discuss his fantastic new book, Boggy Creek Casebook. Stories of the Fouke Monster came to public attention in the early 70's with both a terrifying incident in 1971 and Charles.B.Pierce's cult classic, The Legend of Boggy Creek in 1972. The success of the film has made Boggy Creek a household name in the world of Cryptozoology. Yet, as Lyle's book clearly demonstrates, encounters had been occurring for several decades prior to the flap in the 1960's and early 1970's and continue to this day. Lyle and I discuss his continuing relationship with both the people of Fouke and its infamous cryptid, some of the most notable cases in the book and much more besides. As always, it was a pleasure to speak with Lyle again and I am sure you'll enjoy our conversation. You can find all of Lyle's books on his website here: Ghoultown can be found here: Smalltown Monsters are here: A big thank you as always to Lyle for joining me.

This week, we return to the world of Ufofology with author and investigator, Paul Stonehill.   Paul has been writing about UFO's and USO's from his home country of Russia for several years and his latest book focuses on encounters and witnesses around the world on Russian ships and submarines.    We discuss several cases included in his book Russia's USO secrets: Unindentified Submersible Objects in Russian and International Waters.   We discuss the mysterious sounds of the Kvakeri, strange sightings in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans and mysterious encounters above the Arctic Circle.    It's a subject we are still uncovering and it is interesting to see just how the former Soviet Union and the modern Russia view the UFO/USO phenomena and how they continued to investigate these cases under the cover of secrecy.    Paul's book's can be found here:   Paul's YouTube channel is here:   A big thank you to Paul for joining me today.

This week, I'm delving into a part of the paranormal I've not covered before - Spirit Rescue.   Unlike exorcism or the cleansing of a property, spirit rescue is a process of communication with any earthbound or attached spirits that may be responsible for a haunting. To discuss this fascinating topic with me is Stephen Williams, the founder of Memphis Spirit Rescue.   Stephen discusses his introduction to the paranormal, his personal experiences and how he came to found the organisation. We also discuss some of the cases he and his team have worked on as well as a trip around some of Memphises most haunted locations and interesting ghosts.    Stephen's website is here:    St. Jude's hospital is here:   A big thank you to Stephen for joining me this week.

Its a warm welcome back to investigator and author Paul Sinclair. Paul joins us to discuss his latest book, Night People, which was released over the summer. In a depature from his previous Truth Proof books, Paul has bared his soul with a personal and brave account of a lifetime of strange incidents.  From an early age, Paul has found himself experiencing something unusual in a variety of locations and different properties that have continued to effect him to this very day. In a brutally honest book, Paul invites us to reflect upon these strange incidents and the ramifications of hiding this throughout out his life. We also discuss his encounter with the Reverend Thomas Willis, one of Britain's leading Exorcists, more strange sightings in East Yorkshire, the haunted trawler, The Pickering and his latest project, The Dark Forest documentary. Dark Forest sees Paul investigating a series of strange encounters with cryptids that has left the witnesses shaken up and questioning their own sanity when faced with seeing things that shouldn't exist.

Well Halloween may be behind us, but that doesn’t stop us talking about the paranormal on Mysteries and Monsters. This week, I’m delighted to be joined by the founder of American Ghost walks, Mike Huberty.  Mike set up the company a decade ago and now runs ghost walks in over a dozen towns and cities across North America. Mike and I discuss some famous hauntings in Madison and Milwaukee, including the ghost who clearly supports the Milwaukee Brewers in Pfister Hotel, ghosts that linger in the Majestic and Orpheum theatres who clearly still enjoy the limelight, the superstitions of performers, Mike’s first job working in a haunted restaurant and other hauntings in and around Wisconsin as well as a ghost that joined him on stage at one gig with his band Sunspot. American Ghost Walks can be found here: Sunspot can be found here: Mike's podcast, See You On The Other Side is here:  Thanks to Mike for taking us a tour of some of his favourite haunted locations.

Well it's Halloween and what better time to talk about ghosts stories? Over the last few weeks, I've been asking you guys to send in your personal encounters and you haven't let me down.  I've collected some of the best for a special Halloween edition of Mysteries and Monsters so I hope you find these tales creepy.

One topic I’ve been asked to cover more than most is the disturbing and worrying experiences regarding Shadow People. From the Hat Man, to the Hag, to shadowy entities lurking in bedrooms and homes, these dark shapes often leave the recipients upset, confused and frightened. Yet, are all the interactions malevolent? It seems not. Mike Ricksecker is an investigator and ghostorian who has investigated plenty of cases to try and shine a light on this mysterious phenomenon and what they possible could be. Are they disembodied spirits, ghosts revisiting loved ones, astral projection or even inter-dimensional beings?  Mike’s new book, A Walk In The Shadows: A Complete Guide To Shadow People looks into the various entities that people have had encounters with, from the Hat Man, entities with glowing eyes, Shadow People, Crawlers and even an terrifying event with a ghostly wolf. Mike covers all these and more in a conversation that will probably mean you’ll sleep with the light on for a while.

This week, I am delighted to be joined by British investigator and author, Ruth Roper Wylde, to discuss ghosts and the paranormal. Ruth has now written 4 books looking at cases from the length and breadth of the British Isles and I have to say her work is refreshingly down to earth.  Ruth's work reminds me of the excellent books written by Peter Underwood and John and Anne Spencer. Ruth’s investigations has put many urban myths to bed, but has also uncovered hundreds of cases previously unknown from every corner of this haunted isle. We discuss some cases that Ruth has investigated including the mystery car that lead to the discovery of a skeleton, a headless woman who clearly wasn’t the ghost people thought, ghostly hitchhikers, a report she received last month and Ruth’s personal encounter with a shadowy figure on a lonely road. Ruth’s brilliant books can be found here You can contact Ruth with your own experiences at her email, [email protected] Thanks for joining us today Ruth!   Don't forget, I need YOUR ghost stories for an upcoming show, so if you have a spooky encounter you wish to share with me, anonymously if you wish, please drop me a line titling your email - GHOST STORY to [email protected] Our Patreon is now live, with bonus content, early release of the regular show, articles and monthly prizes for everyone who signs up!

It’s October and what better time of the year to delve into the history and lore of one of the paranormal’s most well-known creatures, the Vampire. To discuss this, I am joined by author A.P. Sylvia to discuss his fantastic book, Vampires of Lore: Traits and Modern Misconceptions. A.P. has researched the folklore of the Vampire to see why the modern interpretation is so different from what the actual folklore and stories of vampirism actually show us. We discuss the origin of the vampires, the contrasts in folklore from around the world, what actually counts as a vampire and the variety of ways to deal with the undead, once they return from the grave. Along the way we discuss some of the most famous literary vampires as well as pondering if Count Von Count from Sesame Street has more in common with vampire folklore than many may actually realise. His website can be found here: You can purchase a copy of his fantastic book here:  A big thank you to A.P. for joining me for a fantastic and interesting conversation on the world of the vampire!

This week, it's another subject new to Mysteries and Monsters, modern Demonology. We often think of demonology based primarily in the parameters of what we have been told by pop culture, religious dogma and televisual bias.  Nathaniel Gillis is here to pull down the walls of what we believe, or certainly what we believe and why we believe what we have been told. Nathan is an author, lecturer and Religious Demonologist. Nathan found himself drawn into the world of darkness when encountering a ghost whilst on a house viewing with his parents, but he began to question why we were not adapting to the hauntings and primarily in the role of demonic possession. Why was religion not adapting to these demons? Why were demons still appearing? Where had they come from? Why are they so religiously ignorant? It was these questions that led Nathan to take a very different view on what demons actually are and how we need to deal with these entities? Nathan's website can be found here: A big thank you to Nathan for joining me and perhaps you may need the light on for this particular episode!  As some of you may know who follow the show on social media, I ended up being hospitalised with a severe blood infection, which saw me having to receive emergency treatment. Thankfully, I received some fabulous treatment at my local hospital and am making a full recovery but it was a little scary, I have to say.

This week, we journey with author Morgan Daimler who will be our guide into the heart of this wonderful and sometimes disturbing folklore. Morgan has written over 25 books on folklore from around the world, but the majority have been in regards to the Irish legends of the Fae and Fairies. Morgan shares her extensive knowledge and research with us and guides us through cases, the challenge that a modern belief in Fairies brings, the historical context and written accounts, why we should always be aware of the respect shown to the Fae as well as many other fascinating aspects of "the little people". We also touch on an account of the aftermath of a fairy battle, why Ireland and Iceland still make sure they don't disrespect the Fae and how even atheists have a healthy respect toward the Fae. It's always interesting to have someone as passionate as Morgan on the show as demonstrated by her current undertaking to teach herself Old Irish to translate more books, poems and accounts of the Fae from the last 1000 years. Now that is impressive!! You can find Morgan's books here: Morgans Facebook page is here:  A big thank you for Morgan for giving us a fantastic overview into the Fae and the traditions and beliefs still taught today.

This week, it's a warm welcome back to the show for Allison Jornlin. Allison has just launched a new YouTube channel, Paranormal Women: A Hidden History focusing on some of the paranormal trailblazers that perhaps don't get the credit they deserve or may even have fallen off the paranormal radar. As such, Allison is shining a light on some of the paranormal world's most iconic women over the last two centuries. We discuss the legendary Catherine Crowe, a woman who wrote one of the outstanding paranormal collections of the 19th century, the incredible "The Night Side of Nature" in 1848. A collection of paranormal research, witness testimony and investigation, her book set the template for paranormal research today and has always been one of my favourite researchers. We also discuss the incredible force of nature that was Alexandra David-Neel, a former opera singer who discovered Buddhism and embraced it to such an extent that her knowledge changed the whole way it was viewed in the Western world. From creating Tulpa's and sneaking into forbidden territories, nothing seemed too much for David-Neel to achieve. She was  also an anarchist, ran a casino and adopted a Buddhist monk. We also talk about the author, Zora Neal Hurston, the woman who brought the world of Voodoo and Zombies into popular culture but also saw her career take such a nosedive, most of her personal possessions were burned after she died. These three women are titans in the history of the paranormal and yet most people haven't even heard of any of them.

This week on Mysteries and Monsters, I am joined by someone I have wanted as a guest since the show started, the parapsychologist, Dr Barry Taff. For anyone who loves the paranormal, poltergeists and 80's horror films, the Entity case still resonates today, 46 years on. Dr Taff is one of the leading lights in the world of rigorous scientific paranormal investigation and has investigated hundreds of cases across North America and beyond. We discuss his career and early work into precognition and remote viewing at UCLA, the Entity Case which focussed on Doris Bithers, the notorious San Pedro Poltergeist, the incredibly regular events at Holly Mont as well as others. Dr Taff is someone I have wanted to talk with for a long time, so I hope you enjoy the show. You can find his website here: His book is available here: Thanks for joining us Dr Taff.

In October 1959, Rod Serling's The Twilight Zone made its television debut, and for the next 5 years, over 156 episodes, would take us to places we had only imagined possible. Stories of time travel, supernatural revenge, murderous dolls, aliens amongst us, nuclear war and ghosts saw some of the biggest talent in acting, writing and directing appear on our screens. Serling took us on a journey that has seen the shows influence transcend the decades and despite the three attempts reboot the show (in the 1980's, 2002 and currently under Jordan Peele) the original show still remains unmatched. Joining me to discuss the pop culture phenomenon is artist, historian and lecturer, Arlen Schumer. Arlen has given numerous webinars and lectures covering his love of pop culture and released his own art book "Visions of the Twilight Zone". Arlen discusses his favourite episodes, the enduring legacy of the show and the themes that ran through the 5 seasons of this incredible show.

For many, William Shakespeare is the greatest playwright of all time, his works consistently performed on film, television and on stage across the world. With works such as Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, King Lear, Othello and many more being household names, his legacy transcends continents, cultures and language. Yet, for the last 175 years, people have questioned if William Shakespeare really is the man we are led to believe. Many point to a man with no history, no educational history and a missing decade as sure signs that William Shakespeare is a ghost of his time, a pseudonym for someone else, ostracised by the Establishment of the early 17th century. To discuss this, I am joined by author Katherine Chiljan to hear the argument for the real William Shakespeare, The Earl of Oxford, Edward De Vere. A publish author, traveller and intellectual giant of his time who knew far more than the established narrative of William Shakespeare and some who actually had experience of travel, law, medicine, sport and more besides. We are left with many questions and I thank Katherine for joining me to discuss this intriguing conundrum Katherine's book can be found here: Katherine's website is here: Further information can be found here:  Our Patreon is now live, with bonus content, early release of the regular show, articles and monthly prizes for everyone who signs up!

25 years ago this week, millions around the world eagerly awaited the first television showing of alleged footage of evidence that would apparently change the world as we knew it. That footage was alleged to be of an Alien autopsy, brought to us by the infamous Ray Santilli and was to be shown all over the world. One man had been aware of this film since 1993, when Santilli contacted him about the "Rosewell" footage. From that point on, Philip Mantle found himself knee deep in the middle of one of the most notorious hoaxes in the modern era. Philip joins me to talk about his career as one of the UK's leading Ufologists, BUFORA (British UFO Research Association), some of his favourite cases as well a deep dive into how he became involved in this story and his quest to find out just who had made this famous fake footage. We have a light hearted and funny conversation as Philip takes on a journey into the heart of that summer of 1995 and the amount of craziness that came his way. Philip has been a good friend to myself and the show since we started, so this is a long overdue debut appearance for Philip. Philip has collated everything he knows and found in his update book, Roswell Alien Autopsy: The Truth Behind The Film That Shocked The World, which can be bought here:  You can purchase any of the books we mention at Philip's publishing site here: A big thank you to Philip for joining us today.

This week, I am delighted to be joined by one of the stars of the new season of Unsolved Mysteries, Thom Reed. Thom appears in Episode 5 of the new season entitled "The Berkshire UFO incident" about the numerous witness to an event over the town of Sheffield in Massachusetts on September 1st, 1969.  We are also joined by Judge Kevin Titus who also was a witness to the event and was responsilble for the sealing of the legal documents regarding the case. We discuss the issues with the UFO park in Sheffield, Thom and Kevin's incidents, cattle mutilation, the unusual US Army presence in the area, other incidents in the area and the issues with one particular witness.  We also discuss what wasn't included in the Episode and what comes next for Thom and Kevin.

This week, I am delighted to be joined one of Britain's most well known paranormal investigators, Richard Felix. With over 100 appearances on the seminal Most Haunted up to 2009, numerous tv interviews and a whole raft of his own ghost hunting guides around the United Kingdom, the only thing that matches Richard's passion for the paranormal is his love of history. Richard was responsible for the funding and creating of a statue in Derby to commerate Bonnie Prince Charlie's ill fated invasion of England in the 18th century. Richard also saved and restored the historic Derby Gaol, one of the cities most haunted locations and has hosted ghost walks for over two decades. We discuss his love of the paranormal and history, discussing one of my favourite paranormal subjects, the peculiar Screaming Skulls dotted around the country. We also touch on haunted battlefields, Witch Marks, his new book collecting ghost stories from around the UK as well as his favourite ghost that he feels to be more well known, that of P.C. Joseph Moss. Dickie the screaming skull Katherine Griffith of Burton Agnes Hall Theophilus Broome of Higher Farm Chiltern Dave Allen tells a ghost story Cresswell Crags The murder of P.C.

This week, I'm delighted to welcome Dr David Clarke back to discuss one of the most the controversial alleged UFO encounters of all time, Rendlesham. Christmas 1980 saw three nights of unusual reports, encounters and incidents in the Rendlesham Forest area, next to the Bentwaters and Woodbridge military bases in Suffolk. The three main witnesses John Burroughs, Jim Penniston and Charles Halt have discussed this case over the last 40 years and Dr Clarke has investigated this case since beginning his journalism career in the mid 1980s. We look at the actual audit trail of MOD records, how the stories told now bear no resemblance to the witness reports that appeared in the mid 80s. We look at why no-one in the MOD thought it was anything unusual, why, despite the incident occurring over a military base, no one scrambled any jets, the numerous claims, counter claims and revision that has gone on over the last 20 years. We also look at why the Alan Godfrey case is far more interesting, Ufology now, the continuing situation with ATTIP, Folkore and touch on the Alien Autopsy screenings in the summer of 1995 in Sheffield as well as another strange case at Howden Moor in the Peak District.

This week, I'm joined by authors and investigators Chad Lewis and Kevin Lee Nelson to discuss their fantastic new book, Wendigo Lore: Monsters, Myths and Madness. As someone with only a passing knowledge of the Wendigo, I found this book to be a fantastic resourse for anyone wanting to know more about this fearsome creature and the way it is viewed by the tribes of the northern US States and Canada. Chad and Kevin have left no stone unturned as they tracked stories, newspaper reports and tribespeople to find out more about this creature and its role in the frozen heartlands of these areas. We cover some of the explanations for the creature, alongside some frankly terrifying accounts alongside one particularly famous case as well as some other strange creatures of tribal folklore.

This week, we dive into the world of the paranormal with my guest, Hayley Stevens. Hayley is best known for her award winning blog, Hayley Is A Ghost which looks into a variety of topics and alleged aspects of the paranormal. Hayley brings a refreshing critical thinking to the paranormal field with her balanced approach to her investigations into the paranormal and other fortean fields. We discuss how her interest in the world of the paranormal came about and how she fell out of love with it.  We discuss the Winchester case, Britain's Sexiest Ghost, The Ghost of Clevendon Pier and the Infamous McKenzie Poltergeist. We also cover the hilarious moment in Most Haunted's history when Derek Acorah became "possessed"by the ghost of one of Dick Turpin's lovers which you can see here!

My guest this week needs very little introduction, with over 60 years of experience investigating unusual phenomenan since he was a child. Stan Gordon has become synonymous with the Kecksburg incident of 1965, when witnesses claimed something fell to earth and was recovered by the US Army under the cover of darkness. It has become one of the most notorious UFO incidents in modern history. What really happened on that December night is still not clear and many witnesses point to a cover up at the highest levels. He was also involved in the unusual events often called The Invasion of Chestnut Ridge over 1973 and 1974 when a number of strange Bigfoot type creatures were seen by several witnesses along with some frankly terrifying first hand experiences. Stan takes us through both cases along side some more recent events and his career and we may question our understanding of both Ufology and Cryptozoology after listening to him. Stan's website is here: His books are available via Amazon here.  Thank you to Stan for joining us today!

It's time for another warm welcome back for another listener favourite, Lyle Blackburn to discuss his brilliant new book, Sinister Swamps: Monsters and Mysteries of the Mire. Lyle mentioned his book when we spoke, back on Episode 49, so I had eagerly been awaiting a chance to get hold of a copy of it as soon as it was released.  Lyle has built a reputation as a fantastic author and for me, this is another outstanding piece of work. We dive into three of the chapters and the creepy tales included in these three particular portions will give you the shivers! We've Dogmen, Bigfoot, the Pukwudgie, UFO's, Skunk Apes, the Honey Island Swamp Monster and much more.

It's a warm welcome back to one of my most popular guests, the first lady of Cryptozoology, Linda Godfrey! Linda first appeared on Episode 31 (which you can listen to here if you missed it!) and that show still gets regular downloads, so there is no doubting Linda's popularity with yourselves. Linda has just released her own film "Return to Wildcat Mountain" which won an award in its first film festival showing, and is being prepped for a Prime release later this summer. We discuss the film, the phenomena behind it and the witnesses involved in the documentary. It is a cracking film and a well deserved award winner. We also cover some more stories from her last book, "I Know What I Saw" which is being released in paperback later this summer as well. You can pre-order a copy here: Linda's blog is here: Thank you again to Linda for returning to us and we look forward to another chance to speak with her later this year, so keep your eyes peeled for that!

This week, I am joined by one of the leading lights in British Paganism, Steve Jones. Steve has been a driving force in the resurgence of Paganism in the Uk over the last 40 years, setting up the longest established Moot, based in Wakefield, West Yorkshire. Steve has also been investigating hauntings for decades too, so we delve into this too.  We discuss how he became a Pagan, the differences between Paganism and Wicca and we also delve into his investigations into Hooded Entities, Ghosts and those unusual hauntings based in toilets!! We also look at Stone Cirlces and Earth works and more things that go bump in the night. Unfortunately, we had some audio issues that make us sound like we are under the sea, so apologies for that.

Welcome back to Mysteries and Monsters! On this week's show, I'm joined by Carl Marshall, from the Centre for Fortean Zoology.  Carl is an Entemologist but also has a love of cryptozoology, especially the UK's mystery big cats as well as his passion for Micro-Cryptozoology and his upcoming book covering this criminally neglected niche in the world of Cryptids.  We cover ABC's, including the Beast of Bodmin amongst others as well as diving into the world of arachnids, snakes and some of the tantalising witness accounts of insects we have no record of ever existing. It's always interesting to cover a subject that we haven't really dove into before and Microcryptids are certainly a subject that we will clearly return to.

This week I am delighted by joined by authors and investigators Gary Cunningham and Rob Cornes to discuss their newly updated book "Irish Aquatic Monsters:A Survey and Definitive Guide".    The book is a must buy for anyone with an interest in Irish Folklore, Lake and Sea Monsters and Cryptozoology and Gary and Rob discuss their reasons for the book, how they came to collaborate with each other and the cases they've dove into . We also shine a light on a couple of Cryptozoologists who you may never have heard of!  Ireland may not be the first place you think of for unusual creatures, but the country has a rich history of strange creatures being sighted across the country and Gary and Rob have left no stone unturned in this wonderful book.    The authors have also created mini regional Field Guides, however this volume includes the aquatic mythology of Leinster as well as in-depth chapters covering the usual and unusual suspects; extant animal species which may have helped give rise to these legends in the first place, the dobhar-chu and the water-horse and its origins. Each report location also has geo-spatial co-ordinates which can be viewed on Google maps via the authors Facebook page Irish Aquatic Monsters.    You can join their Facebook group here:    The book is available through Amazon here:  Thank you to Gary and Rob for joining me.    Our Patreon is now live, with bonus content, early release of the regular show, articles and monthly prizes for everyone who signs up!

An important announcement about Mysteries and Monsters and the future of the show.

It's a warm welcome back to British Cryptozoologist Richard Freeman! On this episode, we dive in to the world of giant animals across the world that have been reported by numerous witnesses.  We look at cases involving sightings of giant Sharks, giant Lizards, Saltwater Crocodiles, Alligators, Boa Constrictors, Rock Pythons and Anaconda's going back centuries. It seems that plenty of people have seen enormous creatures still hiding out in the corners of the world.  We look at the legendary Gustave, the Nile crocodile who lives in Burundi and one of the most notorious maneaters in the world. Alleged to have killed at least 300, Gustave's reputation is known the world over.  We examine the capture of Lolong and the enigmatic Potol, known as the king of the crocodiles as well as Komodo Dragons and monsterous lizards in the Pacific We travel the globe looking for giants from several countries, the stories, the legends and wonder if there are still such monsters to be discovered when the evidence suggests that there is a real possiblility there are still wonders to discover. We'll try to not give you nightmares but we can't promise you'll sleep well after this conversation.

As such, there was only one person I wanted to speak to about this case, author Keith McCloskey. Keith has been a driving force in the case over the last decade so I was delighted to finally get an opportunity to discuss the case with him, alongside his fantastic new book Unsolved Aviation Mysteries, which has just been released.

This week, we're joined by the host of one of my favourite podcasts, Derek Hayes from Monsters Among Us. Derek's show is one of those wonderful gems, a collection of first person witness accounts covering all kinds of phenomena. From hauntings, to Bigfoot, from UFOs to Lake Monsters, Monsters Among Us has countless witness stories from across the USA and Canada, with the odd international call here and there. Starting over 4 years ago, I've been hooked since Episode One and been obsessed ever since. Derek and myself discuss the show, the growth, his personal experiences, Paranormal Caught On Camera, monsters and ghosts and all the strange phenomena in between. We also cover his joint venture with David Flora, the documentary Shadows In The Desert!  We also discuss a call that gave me goosebumps, which Derek has kindly allowed me permission to include it at the end of the show, so make sure you keep listening. You can find Monsters Among Us here: The Facebook group is here: The Documentary kickstarter is here: Thanks for joining me Derek!

This week, we're delighted to be joined by journalist and blogger Krissy Eliot. Based out of the San Fran Bay Area, Krissy has a growing reputation for her refreshing take on the world of Bigfoot and Cryptozoology in general. We cover the recently developing trend of viewing Bigfoot as an agressive predator, rather than the zen like, calming guardian of the woods that many have claimed. Native stories often fell into two camps, those of the benevolent and wise Bigfoot and those of the nasty, eat your children and steal your wife types. We cover a wide range of aspects of the phenomena and I hope you enjoy our chat.

We talk about how this has influenced his work, his love of the subject and several notable British cases. We also talk about his two books, ShadowBeast and Daughters of the Darkness which can be found here: We also cover some of Britian's more unusual invasive species and touch on a bit more Cryptozoology too.

This week, we welcome legendary Bigfoot investigator, Peter Byrne. As many may know, Peter has spent over 60 years hunting for both the Yeti and Bigfoot around the world. We cover Peter's work in India, Tibet and the Himalaya’s, meeting Tom Slick and his work hunting for Bigfoot in the Pacific Northwest. For Peter to still be out hunting for Bigfoot at 94 years of age is simply staggering so we keep things fairly brief for over 35 minutes. As such, we look back on 3 of my favourite interviews from last year, Episode 14 with Seth Breedlove covering Terror In The Skies, Episode 2 with Lyle Blackburn covering The Legend of Boggy Creek and Episode 21 with another Bigfoot legend, Ron Morehead. We have highlights from all three episodes prior to speaking with Peter.

For the final show of 2019, we are delighted to welcome back David Weatherly to discuss his latest book, Eerie Companions focussing on the world of Haunted Dolls!  David's book delves into the history of the doll, covering cultures all over the world and how the doll changed from a symbol or warning into a plaything. As the 20th century progressed, several dolls began to gain a reputation of having certain effects on some visitors.  As we know these days, Robert the Doll and Annabelle are probably the most well known, but they are certainly not the only dolls causing the disrepectful to wish they had shown some manners.  Join us for a very creepy converstation and Robert, I meant the situation was weird, not you!  You can also visit David's site here as well as his new Eerie Lights site here: Thanks for joining me David!

This week, we're delighted to welcome back filmmaker Aleksander Petakov to discuss his new documentary "Lions of the East" which focuses on the numerous witness sightings, animal mutilations and tracks of Mountain Lions. Trouble is, the Mountain Lion has been deemed "extinct" in the New England area since the beginning of the 20th century, yet despite this, people keep seeing them across the state and further afield.  We discuss the cases, the history, the witnesses, the evidence and the compelling feeling that someone, somewhere is not being truthful.

This week we dive into one of the most compelling UFO abduction cases of the 20th century, the Pascagoula incident of 1973 which affected two men for the rest of their lives. One of those men, Charles Hickson never hid away from facing the reality of what happened to him that night and dealt with the media glare that firmly landed upon his doorstep. The second man, Calvin Parker, had such a hard time comprehending what had happened to him that he refused all interviews in the years since, spare a few seconds on a documentary that came out almost 20 years ago. Yet, two years ago, Calvin, thanks to the sterling efforts of British Ufologist Philip Mantle, decided to finally tell his side of the story. It will stun you, it will shock you and it will baffle you. Calvin and I take a trip back to 1973, the effects of the night, his quest to find answers and how he finally faced up to the reality of his experience.

Joining me on the second part of our Halloween special is English author, journalist, lecturer and investigator, Dr David Clarke. Dr Clarke was the man who got the UK Government to release all its UFO files in the late 90s and early 00s but has covered a wide range of Fortean subjects over the years. We dive into one of the most well known modern ghost stories in the United Kingdom, that of the haunting of Stocksbridge Bypass, near my home town of Sheffield. Yet the stories didn't begin when the bypass opened, ironically on Friday the 13th in May 1988, they began prior to it opening with construction workers be too scared to work alone or at night and culminated in two police officers having a night they would never forget. We have exclusive clips from Dr Clarke's interviews with the officers at the time as well as other interviews with additional witnesses over the years. Whilst the modern version of this story seems to be a collection of fabricated experiences, exaggeration, and factually incorrect death tolls, something quite clearly has occurred for some witnesses. Are you brave enough to separate truth from fiction with us on Halloween?

For many of us, the most compelling witness accounts of strange events and the paranormal are those reported by members of the emergency services. Police officers are trained to examine evidence, collate reports and write up incidents using facts but sometimes they come face to face with incidents that cannot be explained.  Author Andy Gilbert returns to join me today to discuss the sequel to his fantastic first book, Credible Witness II: More Paranormal Police Stories.  Once again, Andy has collected a range of first hand accounts from former and current police officers that will cause you get goosebumps.  We cover both this book and touch on his first volume in a fantastic conversation that covers the whole gamut of paranormal activity.  You can purchase Andy's books via Amazon here: You can also follow him on Facebook here: Thanks for joining me again Andy!  Our Patreon is now live, with bonus content, early release of the regular show, articles and more.

Since 1936, the official stance of the Australian Government is that the Thylacine is extinct. Ever since the last survivor passed away (Ben in 1936), hundreds of people have claimed to have seen these gentle giants. There are over 3,500 sightings of these supposed extinct Marsupials since its official extinction.    My guest today, Chela Tyni, has an incredible story to tell, as she has been living amongst Tasmanian Tigers for over 30 years. The Thylacine is alive and well and she is in no doubt about these creatures, even having physical contact on a regular basis. This conversation will blow your mind as well as convincing you that the much-missed Tasmanian Tiger is alive and well on the Australian continent. Chela has seen and interacted with these creatures for over three decades, despite the official stance.

If you'd asked me a year ago which piece of footage I never thought would be put forward as proof of alien life, then the Alien autopsy footage, first seen in 1995, would have probably been my first answer.   Yet, incredibly, this well established fake is under going some kind of renaissance, as alleged Ufologists once again claim that this footage is 100% genuine. Absurdly, despite being debunked by skeptics and ufologists in the 90s, it now is being shown as proof.  No doubt in this confusing time of US Navy leaks and tic-tac sightings, ufology seems to have regain some credibility, yet this is not footage of anything but a prop, filmed in London in the summer of 1995.  The films creator, producer and writer of the Alien autopsy, Spyros Milaris, joins me on a special bonus edition of Mysteries and Monsters to finally put this farce to bed.

This week, we take a trip back to August 1977 and the beginning of an 18-month nightmare for the Hodgson family, from Enfield in North London.    The Hodgsons found themselves under siege from a malevolent poltergeist who targetted the children and the Enfield Poltergeist case became an overnight sensation. Within days of it starting, SPR member Maurice Grosse arrived and began to record the events.  He would later be joined by renowned poltergeist investigator, Guy Lyon Playfair and together, they would catalogue over 1,500 incidents over a period between September 1977 and April 1979.    We discuss the case, the evidence, the tapes and his new book, "The Enfield Poltergeist Tapes" as well the cases legacy and its place in the pantheon of poltergeist history.  You can purchase the book here:    Alternatively, if you want an autographed copy, you can email [email protected] to enable us to pass on your requests to Dr. Willin.

This week, I am joined by Katy Elizabeth from Champ Search as we dive into the world of Lake Monsters and specifically Katy's quest to find Champ, the legendary creature of Lake Champlain.  Stories of a creature in Lake Champlain date back to the Indigenous tribes of the area going back hundreds of years and modern sightings number over 300. We discuss sightings, that photo, video footage and Katy's own experiences.  Since the infamous Mansi photo of 1977, Champ has steadily become a cryptozoological legend in its own right, no longer simply America's Loch Ness. Join us as we search for the truth behind this elusive beast.  You can find Katy's facebook here and her book here: You can join us on Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and Instagram as well as signing up for Patreon too.
