On this weeks episode we look through the historical record at a handful of giant races and ask the question: "could they be Nephilim?" There certainly seems to be certain traits that these giant races share even though they are often separated by thousands of miles. Could it all be a coincidence? We don't think so. After all, all myths and legends have some sort of truth.

Nick also gives his short review on Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, a video game that was recently released on the PS5 and has some surprising connections to the wolf of Giants and Nephilim.

This week we dive into the Hexham Head mystery and the paranormal happenings that followed as well as take a closer look at the accounts of spectral dogmen.

We ask ourselves were the Hexham Heads cursed or were they some sort of gateway to another realm? Was the werewolf seen in the Hexham Heads case the result of a Celtic curse or was it an actual, physical, dogman with some kind of spectral ability to traverse this gateway?

We also take a look at a couple other reported cases of dogmen/werewolves with suspected spectral abilities, thanks to https://demonhunterscompendium.blogspot.com/2014/07/phantom-werewolves.html?m=1

We believe Folklore is incredibly important when it comes to cryptozoology and even the paranormal. Cryptids like Sasquatch and mysterious entities like the Skinwalker have been talked about in folklore long before they were ever popularized by newspaper articles or the internet. But it doesn’t stop there. North American folklore is full of mysterious creatures and evil entities. and this week we explore a handful of them with Ryan Paul Tremblay, an expert on North American folklore and an investigator of cryptozoology and the paranormal.

In this episode we look at several different cryptids and entities seen in folklore like the Wendigo and Skinwalker but also many other lesser known creatures as well.

For some, the stories told through folklore may help answer some of the many questions we have or at the very least give us a better understand of what we’re dealing with in this world. So sit back, relax and enjoy tonight’s episode l!

The Wild West is not only a time period in American history that I personally find fascinating but it’s also a region of the world ha that calls to me. There’s just something about the craggy mountains; remote canyons; dry, desert, landscape and lmysterious history that truly pulls me in. And I’m not the only one, which is why countless TV shows, movies and radio plays were set in the wild west. And it’s this romanticize idea of the west, mainly the real life lore and legends coming out of the south west that really grabbed my attention.

Now I live in the North East. It’s one of the oldest parts of the country when ones speaking about European settlement; you have the original Mayflower Pilgrims at Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1620 and even the Vikings who found their way to North America around 1000 ad but the great legends and myths of the North East have all been solved, for the most part.

But with the west it’s equally as old if not older and being a new englander, I tend to forget that the English weren’t the only explorers to wonder the uncharted regions of the New World as the Spanish had already nearly conquered it!

So yeah, while civilization may have tamed the west in the early 1900’s her spirit has certainly never died as some of the US’s greatest myths and legends are still investigated today, keeping her wild.

We’re talking Legends like Butch Cassidy and the Sun Dance kid and whether they survived their encounter with the law in Bolivia.

Jessie James and the Younger Gang and the and their buried loot. Plus if we’re gunna talk about Jessie James we gotta talk about the Knights of the Golden Circle and where the missing Confederate Gold is.

Then there’s the wilder legends like Kincaid’s Cave in the Grand Canyon; Doc Martin and the Victorio peak treasure; The Aurora Texas UFO crash; the one about the civil war general in the steampunk wheelchair who drives a giant metal spider; and of course the Lost Dutchman Mine, which we’ll be talking about tonight.

In fact, we’ll be talking with Wayne Tuttle, life long Dutch hunter and team leader of the 2015 history channel show ‘Legend of the Superstition Mountains’.

Wayne has been exploring the superstition mountains since he was a small boy and has become one of the few go to men for all who want to join the hunt. He possesses decades upon decades worth of Dutchman knowledge and while he’s a strict skeptic, he’s experienced several unexplainable events; one of which is one of the best I’ve heard from a skeptical treasure hunting old timer….

*Join the patreon to hear our full interview!in the full interview Wayne talks about his experience filming ‘Legends of the Superstition Mountains’ as well as a very interesting story about a mysterious underground structure treasure hunters have been digging out since at least the 1960’s. Wayne even rediscovered an interesting object that was originally found buried in the sand and then lost and it turns out this object may be haunted!

Had some things come up suddenly, so as we work on the next original episode, we'll be reposting our episode on the Beast of the LBL This is one of our best episodes so I highly suggest you check it out!

The beast of the Land Between the Lakes is one of cryptozoology’s most frightening and well known tales. It’s the story of a terrifying monster, one thats wondered the woods of the recreation area, long before it was called the ‘land between the lakes’.

So what is the story behind the beast of the land between the lakes, otherwise known as the beast of the LBL?

Well, It’s definitely become more than just a physical location on the map. The LBL has become synonymous with not only terrifying cryptid encounters but some of the most gruesome cryptid encounters anyone has yet heard of.

The LBL has transcended the average

cryptozoological scene and joined the paranormal zeitgeist. Putting it right up there with places like Bluff Creek in California; Roswell, New Mexico; Russia’s Diatlov Pass; and I don’t know…the Hoia Bacu Forest in Romania.

The fact is, when someone mentions the land between the lakes, 99.9% of all cryptid minded people know exactly what they’re talking about……killer dogmen.

We week we talk with the author of 'The House on Chas Ross Road' Chad Phillippi.

Chad has experienced the paranormal all this. From seeing shadow people and demonic figures as a young child to being secretly indoctrinated by a mysterious librarian to a life changing event while serving his country in the Middle East, Chad is certainly no stranger to the Unknown. But there’s one point in his life where Chad more than experienced the paranormal he actually battled it.
