The speaker also shared some positive reviews and shoutouts from listeners. Charles, a guest on the show, shared his encounter with a shape-shifting witch near Dismal Creek in the summer of 2015. He felt he was being watched and heard a noise, but dismissed it as his mind playing tricks on him. However, when he turned around, he saw a figure that he believed was a witch. He described her as having long, flowing hair and a hooded cloak. She shape-shifted into different forms, and he felt a sense of fear and unease in her presence. Charles quickly left the area and reported the encounter to the authorities.

The experience was unique to him and not shared with anyone else. The area, known as the land of waterfalls, required significant effort to reach and involved hiking and the use of ropes. Charles' encounter with a spectral woman is just one of his experiences with the supernatural, as he has also reported seeing ghost-like entities and having a haunted apartment. Previously, he shared his Bigfoot encounter on Sasquatch Chronicles (episode 368).

    • A challenging hike to a beautiful waterfallThe hike to Dismal Falls in the Appalachians is steep, dense, and can evoke strange feelings, but respecting local folklore and pushing through the challenge leads to a stunning reward.

The trail is known for its steep inclines, dense foliage, and strange feelings. The hiker shares his own experience of feeling watched while on the trail and seeing a cloaked foot, which he later realized was just a trick of his mind. Despite these challenges and strange occurrences, the hiker emphasizes the importance of listening to local folklore and respecting the natural beauty and power of the area. The hike to Dismal Falls is not for the faint of heart, but for those who are up for the challenge, the reward is a stunning waterfall and a sense of accomplishment.

      The speaker encountered an otherworldly being, possibly a shape-shifting witch, during a hike in the mountains. The woman, who had striking, youthful eyes with almost white irises, first appeared as an old woman wearing a cloak. She watched the speaker intently as he fell and ran away, never breaking her gaze. Later, the speaker encountered a bobcat with the same unusual eyes, which he believed to be the witch in another form. The encounter left him shaken and he never returned to the area. The speaker's girlfriend, who is Navajo, and her family did not believe it was a skin walker, but rather a European-style witch based on the area's colonial history. The unusual speed and ability to shape-shift of the being left a lasting impression on the speaker.

The speaker emphasized the eerie silence during the encounter, which added to the fear. It is clear that the woman was perceived as otherworldly and potentially dangerous. The signs of witchcraft, such as the horses' manes and tails, and the woman's ability to move silently through the woods, added to the belief that she was a witch. Overall, the speaker's account conveys a sense of awe and fear, emphasizing the unknown and mysterious nature of the encounter.

The speaker shared an encounter with a creature that seemed to maneuver in a supernatural way, which he couldn't explain and had never heard anyone else report similar experiences. Despite feeling uneasy and even being stalked by real people in the woods, the speaker continued to explore the natural world, attributing the sense of older, mysterious energy to the woods themselves. This encounter occurred after the speaker's reported Bigfoot sighting in Minnesota, further emphasizing the sense of the unknown and unexplained in nature. While the supernatural experiences can be scary, they also add to the allure and mystery of the woods.

These entities appeared as solid figures to the speaker, who was too young to fully understand or question the paranormal experiences. The house, which had a rich history dating back to the Civil War, seemed to be a place where these spirits resided. The speaker's encounters with these ghosts were real and vivid, leaving a lasting impression on him.

The family member shared that these apparitions were of people and a pet that had lived in the house long ago. The speaker believes the haunting is a result of both residual energy and the presence of former residents. They also shared that the interactions with the apparitions were repetitive and lacked consciousness.

These experiences included hearing fast, unidentifiable sounds that seemed to surround them as they walked through the woods at night. The woods were home to old growth forest and historic oak trees, adding to the sense of mystery and intrigue. The culmination of these events led the speaker to leave the apartment during finals week, when their husky dog came inside in the middle of the night and refused to go back out into the snow. The speaker found this behavior unusual, as huskies are known for loving the cold, and decided to leave the apartment for the night, leading to the discovery of a strange occurrence upon their return.

    Introducing: Free The Rabbits

    Introducing: Free The Rabbits
    How deep down the rabbit hole have you gone? Do you currently reside there? If so, it's time to touch grass and get your tail out of the hole!

    “Free The Rabbits” is a new podcast by Joel Thomas that explores the conspiratorial world without getting lost in the proverbial rabbit hole. It's easy to attribute negative causes and effects to events that don't make sense around us. While sometimes there might be a valid case for such machinations, there's just as likely a simple explanation. Joel Thomas doesn’t shy away from the weird, supernatural, and paranormal, but he offers a unique perspective on conspiracies. He acknowledges that theories are just that—possibilities, not provable facts.

    RELOADED | 381: Knock Knock Knock

    RELOADED | 381: Knock Knock Knock
    In Episode 381: Knock Knock Knock, we are joined by Travis, who did not experience anything paranormal in his life until he was around 20 years old, when he had a terrifying hatman encounter. The hatman Travis witnessed was different than many of the descriptions we’ve heard before, because the hatman wasn't alone. When Travis saw him, he was accompanied by a little girl to whom he was feeding a dead crow. Later in the episode, as we recap Travis’ experiences, some strange activity on the line leaves us feeling like the hatman was listening and interacting with us live in the moment!

    659: The Beast Of Bray Road

    659: The Beast Of Bray Road
    In episode 659: The Beast Of Bray Road, Lee Hample's encounters with the Beast of Bray Road and the mysterious phenomena on his property read like a supernatural thriller. He has amassed thousands of pieces of evidence, including pictures of the creature, eerie black and white mists, and even a UFO with an otherworldly being inside. Lee has also experienced multiple instances of missing time, deepening the mysterious lore. He firmly believes in the existence of portals and multiverses, supported by scientific theories and his own photographs of portals and translucent figures. The strange happenings are not isolated to his land; neighbors around Bray Road have also reported similar sightings and experiences, suggesting a peculiar connection to this area. Lee ponders the possibility that these phenomena may be interdimensional or tied to advanced technology beyond our current comprehension. Eyewitness testimonies lend further credibility to his claims, as does the presence of orbs and the peculiar hitchhiker effect. Lee's experiences open a window into a world of advanced technology and interdimensional entities, challenging our understanding of reality and hinting at forces far beyond human knowledge.
