    Podcast Summary

    • The Skinwalker: From Good to EvilThe Skinwalker, a creature from Native American folklore, was originally created for good but later became feared for its ability to harm humans.

      The Skinwalker, a creature believed in by Native Americans, was originally created for good but later became associated with evil. According to the speaker, Skinwalkers were created to spy and turn into animals to go unnoticed. However, they eventually became feared for their ability to harm humans. The speaker also mentioned that they have had encounters with these creatures and shared a personal experience of being pulled off the bed by small gray entities. The discussion also included an invitation for listeners to share their own encounters or stories and a promotion for the podcast's bonus shows and emergency supplies website. Jamal, a guest on the show, shared that he grew up on a Native American reservation and had experiences with Skinwalkers, which they will discuss in the upcoming interviews.

    • Native American legend of SkinwalkersThe Skinwalker legend evolved from a Native American belief in magical shape-shifting abilities, but using them for evil purposes can lead to severe consequences.

      The Skinwalker legend originated from Native American folklore, involving the use of magical abilities to transform into animals and spy on enemies. However, the use of these powers for evil purposes led to severe punishment, often involving being left on an ant hill until one swore not to use them for harm again. Over time, the Skinwalker legend evolved into something more sinister, possibly due to jealousy, greed, and hate. A common belief is that becoming a Skinwalker requires killing a loved one, but this may be an initiation rite rather than a literal requirement. The speaker, who is Native American, first encountered the Skinwalker legend during high school and experienced a possible encounter at Sheep Springs, New Mexico.

    • Encounter with an Unknown Creature Sparks Lifelong Interest in SkinwalkersAn encounter with an unknown creature in their youth led two friends to explore various locations and collect stories about Skinwalkers from their community, emphasizing the importance of community stories in understanding unexplained phenomena.

      The speaker and his friend had an encounter with an unknown creature in their youth, which sparked their curiosity about Skinwalkers, leading them to explore various locations and collect stories from their community. The encounter occurred in the area known as True Gray Hills, where they frequently went to investigate reported Skinwalker sightings. Their investigations were mostly conducted at night, as they believed that was the best time to encounter such entities. The earliest accounts of their experiences were from Sweet Springs, but the majority of their investigations took place in the 2 Bay Hills area, where they grew up. Their curiosity about Skinwalkers continued into adulthood, but their ability to investigate was limited due to their current circumstances. Overall, their experiences highlight the significance of community stories and the importance of investigating unexplained phenomena.

    • Encountering the unknown in new placesExploring new places can lead to exciting and mysterious experiences, but also encounters with the unknown and unexplained.

      Exploring new places can lead to unexpected and strange experiences. In the discussed situation, two friends built a fort in a secluded area and heard strange noises. They believed they encountered a supernatural being, but it disappeared when they made loud noises. Later, one friend went back to the area alone and had an encounter with an unknown figure that seemed to transform into something else. Despite the eerie experiences, they continued to explore the area for fun. This experience highlights the excitement and mystery that comes with exploring new places, but also the potential for encountering the unknown and unexplained.

    • Encountering the UnexplainedMaintain an open mind and be consistent in the pursuit of answers, even when faced with seemingly inexplicable events.

      Sometimes, unexplained phenomena can leave a lasting impact on people, leading them to persistently investigate the unknown. In this discussion, a friend recounted an encounter with an otherworldly experience, where they saw someone transform into something else and heard bones cracking. Despite initial skepticism, they continued to investigate the area with their friend, determined to uncover more. Their persistence paid off when they encountered another strange occurrence. This experience highlights the importance of maintaining an open mind and being consistent in the pursuit of answers, even when faced with seemingly inexplicable events.

    • Encounter with a Skinwalker in the DesertExploring unknown places at night can be thrilling but also dangerous. Respect native beliefs and traditions to avoid misunderstandings.

      The speaker and his friends had an encounter with an unknown creature while exploring the desert at night. They provoked the creature by identifying it as a "skinwalker" in Navajo language, and it responded by transforming into a canine form and leaving. Later that night, one of the sisters reported waking up to the sound of the door being opened, but nothing was found when they investigated. The experience left the group feeling uneasy and they decided to return home. The incident highlights the sense of curiosity and adventure that can lead people to explore unknown places, but also the potential dangers and mysteries that can be encountered in the dark. The experience also underscores the importance of respecting native beliefs and traditions when encountering unfamiliar territories.

    • Two sisters experience strange encounters with a coyote and unexplained drummingSisters were left feeling frightened and perplexed after a coyote entered their living room and an unexplained drumming incident occurred outside their window.

      An unexpected encounter with a wild animal and a strange occurrence left two sisters feeling frightened and perplexed. The first incident involved my friend seeing a man transform into a creature and enter their living room, which was later identified as a coyote. My sister, who was home alone, woke up to find the animal sniffing around her door. Despite being scared, the coyote didn't harm her and eventually left. The second incident occurred a few nights later when my friends and I were playing video games. We heard drumming and chanting outside our window, but couldn't determine the source. Both incidents left the sisters feeling uneasy and unsure of what to make of the strange occurrences. They decided to avoid going out to the area where the first encounter took place and instead opted for a shorter exploration. The incidents remained unexplained, leaving the sisters with a sense of unease and wonder.

    • Encounter with Native American drummersUnexpected encounter with native drummers and their dogs left speakers confused and alarmed, but they eventually came to accept the occurrence as the work of 'skin watchers'.

      An unexplained noise outside their house led to an unexpected encounter with native American drummers and their dogs. The speakers, who were trying to investigate the noise, were initially confused and even alarmed when they saw the dogs and heard the chanting. They had no idea what was happening and were left speechless. The next day, the sister's boyfriend invited his traditional father over to bless the house and perform a prayer to ensure everything was okay. The father was upset with the speakers for investigating the noise and warned them against such activities. Despite this, the speakers continued to hear the chanting on occasion and even let their nephew stay with them, leading to another encounter. Ultimately, they came to accept the mysterious occurrence as the work of "skin watchers" and moved on.

    • Encounter with a SkinwalkerA witness described an unexplained experience involving a possible shape-shifting creature, known as a skinwalker, in their home. Though they and their nephew saw a shadowy figure, they couldn't find any evidence and the creature disappeared quickly.

      The witness described an experience in which they believed they encountered a skinwalker, a creature from Native American folklore known for shape-shifting, in their home. The skinwalker was observed under the dining room table, and after the witness's attention was diverted, it is believed to have floated away into the kitchen and laundry room. The witness and his nephew both saw the shadowy figure, but when they investigated, they found nothing. The witness explains that skinwalkers are believed to be able to leave their physical bodies and travel as spirits, which may explain how they were able to move so quickly and seemingly disappear. The witness had previously encountered skinwalkers near a cliff area, and on this occasion, they went back to investigate with a friend, but the event turned into something else and lasted until the early hours of the morning. The witness was unable to capture any evidence of the skinwalker on camera.

    • Encountering unexplained phenomena during a late-night walkWitnessed orbs of light and a tall, gray figure following them during a late-night walk, leaving them feeling frightened and uncertain.

      The witnesses encountered unexplained phenomena during a late-night walk, which included seeing orbs of light and a tall, dark figure. They described the figure as slender, very tall, and gray, with the height estimated to be between 6 and 7 feet. The figure was reportedly following them, but it didn't seem to be aggressive. The witnesses were unable to get a clear view of the figure in the light, leading them to speculate that it may have avoided bright areas. The experience left them feeling frightened and uncertain of what they had encountered.

    • Encounter with Alien-like Beings Near a DaycareTwo speakers witnessed strange footprints and had a close encounter with unidentified tall, gray beings near a daycare. The experience left them feeling confused and in shock, questioning the reality of what they had seen.

      The speakers had an encounter with unidentified tall, gray alien-like beings near a daycare. They saw these beings from the roof of the daycare and had a moment of hesitation before deciding to investigate further. Armed with a machete and a camera, one speaker went down to investigate, but his friend followed after feeling guilty. They discovered strange footprints and then had a close encounter with one of the beings, which quickly ran away. They were left in a state of shock and confusion, unsure of what they had just witnessed. The experience left them questioning the reality of what they had seen and feeling the need to leave the area.

The audio recording contained a strange voice that they couldn't make sense of, but when they played it back later, the voice was gone. They couldn't be sure if it was a real occurrence or their minds playing tricks on them. Despite the uncertainty, the experience was exciting and left a lasting impact on them. They never fully understood what they had encountered that night, but it remained a memorable and intriguing mystery.

    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.
