    • Hunter's Unusual Early Morning EncounterA hunter's decision to arrive early for optimal hunting conditions led to an unexplained encounter with an unidentified object in the dark.

      The speaker, who frequently hunts on family land but prefers to leave when he pleases, made an unusual decision to arrive extra early one morning. He explained that getting there too early can disrupt the hunt, as he might fall asleep and miss the optimal hunting hours. However, on this particular morning, he arrived before daylight and remained awake, setting up in his hunting spot in the dark. The night was unusually dark with no moon or clouds, making for optimal deer hunting conditions. The speaker had been visiting this land for his entire life and was accustomed to various types of aircraft in the area, but on this night, he saw an unidentified object. He described it as moving silently and erratically, unlike anything he had ever seen before. The object remained visible for about 10 minutes before disappearing. The speaker's experience that night left him feeling unexplained sensations and questioning what he had witnessed.

    • Mysterious Blue-White Light Illuminates Speaker in ForestA speaker encountered an unexplained blue-white light in a forest, illuminating only his immediate surroundings, leaving him puzzled and filled with unexplained wonder.

      The speaker experienced a mysterious, bluish-white light illuminating his immediate surroundings while he was sitting in a pine thicket. The light was about as fast as an old disposable camera flash, but lasted longer. It was high up in the trees, around 30 feet, and lit up only the area where he was sitting, leaving the rest of the forest in darkness. The light disappeared as soon as the speaker got up, leaving him puzzled and unsure of its origin. Despite his initial skepticism, the speaker stayed put until daylight, unsure of what to make of the strange occurrence. The experience left him with a sense of unexplained wonder and a lingering curiosity.

    • An Unidentified Experience in the WoodsThe speaker described an unexplained experience in the woods involving a flash of light, which they couldn't definitively identify as a UFO or an orb. They emphasized the ambiguity and intrigue of unexplained phenomena in nature.

      The speaker described an unexplained experience involving a flash of light in the woods, which they couldn't definitively identify as a UFO or an orb. They didn't feel scared during the encounter, but they also didn't take off running due to the darkness and the angle of the light. The speaker mentioned that they had a hard time labeling the experience and didn't want to jump to conclusions without more information. They also shared a previous experience of seeing a glowing orb in the forest, which they referred to as strange but not necessarily a UFO. The speaker emphasized that they didn't experience any missing time during the encounter and could only vaguely remember the year and month it occurred. Overall, the conversation revolved around the ambiguity and intrigue of unexplained phenomena in the natural world.

    • Mystery of a Lit-Up ForestUnexplained phenomena challenge our understanding of the natural world, inviting further investigation.

      There are unexplained phenomena that cannot be easily explained by common sense or rational thinking. The speaker shares an experience of his friend Doug Waller, who captured a picture of a lit-up forest during a camping trip, which was completely dark at the time. The source of the light remains a mystery, and it couldn't have been explained by a plane, car, or a flash from the phone. This event highlights the existence of strange occurrences that challenge our understanding of the natural world. The speaker expresses his curiosity about what it could have been and wonders if he would have captured a similar image if he had been there. The incident serves as a reminder that there are still many things in the universe that defy explanation and invite further investigation.

    • Mysteries of the natural world and unexplained phenomenaEncountering the unknown and unexplained in nature can add to the excitement and richness of life, despite potential dangers and mysteries.

      The world, especially the natural world, continues to hold mysteries and unexplained phenomena, as evidenced by the speaker's experience in the woods and the potential Sasquatch encounters shared on podcasts like Sasquatch Chronicles. These experiences, though sometimes unsettling, do not deter people from engaging with nature and pursuing their passions, such as hunting. The speaker found the stories shared on the podcast intriguing and thought-provoking, and they sparked memories of similar experiences. The woods, while full of potential dangers and mysteries, are also a source of fascination and adventure for many. Ultimately, the unknown and unexplained can add to the richness and excitement of life.

    • An encounter with the unknown in nature leaves a lasting impactEncounters with the unknown in nature can leave a profound impact on individuals, eliciting strong reactions and beliefs in the supernatural or extraterrestrial.

      An encounter with the unknown in nature can leave a lasting impact on individuals. The story shared involved a hunter who experienced something unusual while in the woods. He had hunted the area his entire life without incident until one day when he encountered something that defied explanation. After shooting a deer, he was unable to find it and later discovered its body torn in half with no signs of predation or gutted. He and his friend were puzzled and left the area, with the hunter expressing his belief that they had encountered Bigfoot. The hunter's experience led him to stop hunting in that area, and while opinions on what actually occurred varied, the encounter left a profound impact on him. The discussion also touched on the idea that the unknown in nature can elicit a strong reaction, whether it be fear or curiosity, and that some people believe these encounters can involve supernatural or extraterrestrial phenomena.

    • Personal experiences with paranormal phenomenaSpeakers shared their stories of UFO sightings, ghost encounters, and signs from the deceased, emphasizing the courage to share and contribute to the ongoing paranormal discussion.

      The speakers, Tony and Carrie, shared their personal experiences with paranormal phenomena. While Tony discussed his UFO sighting and the link between UFOs and machines, Carrie talked about her encounters with ghosts since her early childhood. Her experiences included invisible friends and ghosts bothering her at night, which she now believes were more than just imaginary friends. Carrie also shared how her mother, a devout Catholic, experienced signs from her deceased father. Despite the differences in their experiences, both speakers showed courage in sharing their stories and added to the ongoing discussion about the unexplained phenomena in our world.

    • Growing up with Intuitive Abilities and Unexplained ExperiencesThe speaker's intuitive abilities and unexplained experiences, including her grandmother's beliefs and her own, shaped her understanding of the world and her place in it, embracing the balance between light and dark.

      The speaker grew up with a family full of unexplained experiences and beliefs, from her grandmother's instant answers to her own intuition and ability to know what others were doing or thinking. Her grandmother, who didn't believe in ghosts but did in her deceased husband Abraham, lived in fear of his sudden disappearances. The speaker herself had intuitive abilities, such as knowing what a classmate would wear to school or who was calling on the phone, even without call display. These experiences were never far in advance and often in the moment. The speaker also visited psychics who confirmed her belief in angels, some of whom were deceased loved ones. Despite the conflicting beliefs in her family, the speaker embraced the balance between the light and the dark, acknowledging that both exist. Her unique experiences shaped her understanding of the world and her place in it.

    • Protective Forces at WorkUnexplained phenomena can be seen as signs of protective entities keeping dark forces at bay. Experiences with angels, possessed objects, and protective items illustrate this belief.

      The presence of unexplained phenomena, such as seeing flashes of blue light or experiencing supernatural occurrences, can be interpreted as the work of angels or other protective entities keeping the dark forces at bay. The speaker's experiences with angels and a seemingly possessed tree in her grandmother's house illustrate this idea. In the case of the tree, it was as if a higher power was gently guiding it down to avoid causing harm. Similarly, the appearance of a psychic's face in the window and the cessation of disturbing entities were signs that the deceased builder of the house was watching over it. The use of protective items, such as a medicine pouch filled with herbs and crystals, can also help ward off negative energies. Overall, these experiences highlight the belief that there are protective forces at work in the world, even when things seem uncertain or unexplained.

    • Paranormal experiences linked to a notorious local spotUnexplained objects moving and events occurring in multiple homes hint at a possibly travelable ghost connected to a notorious local location.

      There are reports of paranormal experiences in a small village, involving a possibly travelable ghost. The speaker's cousin had an encounter with their great grandfather, who had passed away before the cousin was born. Objects moved and unexplained events occurred in the cousin's house, as well as in another house where she was house-sitting. Similar occurrences were reported by other villagers. The ghost may have been connected to a notorious local location called the Sugar Shack, where people allegedly engaged in drugs and other illicit activities. In the speaker's own apartment, a dish was shattered without explanation, and the incident occurred in a building where a man had died under mysterious circumstances. While the exact connection between these events and the Sugar Shack is unclear, the consistent reports of paranormal activity suggest that something may be moving between locations.

    • A strange occurrence in a home leads to suspicion and fearSuspected prank or supernatural activity in a home can escalate into hallucinations and memory loss, emphasizing the importance of trusting instincts and taking action

      Unexplained occurrences in our homes can be unsettling and may require investigation. The speaker in this text experienced strange occurrences, including a cracked dish that wasn't their fault, mysterious water usage, and a ripped shower curtain. They suspected a prank or supernatural activity, and even tried to set up a trap to catch the intruder. However, things escalated when the speaker started hallucinating and speaking incoherently to their friend on the phone. The friend's concern led the speaker's parents to check on them, and they had no memory of the incident. The speaker reached out to a friend for help and shared their fears of the unknown entity in their room, which they believed could have been Nikki Vito. This experience left the speaker questioning their reality and the possibility of otherworldly forces at play. Overall, this story serves as a reminder to trust our instincts and take action when we sense something amiss in our living spaces.

    • Encountering the Unknown: A Tale of Supernatural ExperiencesThrough seeking help and staying resilient, one can overcome unexplained occurrences, even if they are attributed to supernatural forces.

      Sometimes, unexplained occurrences in our environment can be attributed to supernatural forces. In the shared story, the speaker experienced various mysterious events, from open cupboards in their grandparents' house to encounters with a malevolent spirit at their workplace. They sought help from their friend, who was deeply rooted in superstition and traditional practices. Together, they tried various methods, such as burning candles and confronting the spirits, to ward off the negative energy. Interestingly, the speaker's experiences were not always consistent with those of others around them. For instance, while many staff members at the hospital reported seeing a mean ghost, the speaker rarely encountered such paranormal activity in places that were active for others. Despite the challenges, the speaker remained persistent in addressing the issues, drawing on their friend's knowledge and guidance. In the end, they were able to resolve the situations, demonstrating the importance of seeking help and staying resilient in the face of the unknown.

    • Encounters with the deceasedUnexplained experiences with deceased individuals can bring comfort and closure, but require open-mindedness and empathy towards the unknown.

      There are unexplained experiences in life that challenge our understanding of reality. The story shared involves encounters with deceased individuals who communicated their final wishes, even after their passing. These experiences left a profound impact on those involved, demonstrating the importance of open-mindedness and empathy towards the unknown. Despite skepticism or disbelief, acknowledging these experiences can bring comfort and closure to those grieving. However, some people may choose to avoid such experiences to maintain a positive outlook on life. Ultimately, these encounters serve as reminders of the interconnectedness of life and the importance of respecting the wishes of the deceased.

    • The speaker's life is filled with paranormal experiences in various locationsOlder homes and places with historical significance may hold residual energy or entities from the past, causing paranormal experiences for some individuals.

      The speaker's experiences suggest that certain places, particularly older homes and areas with significant historical events, may be associated with paranormal activity. These encounters have been a consistent part of the speaker's life, from childhood to adulthood, and have occurred in various locations around the world. Despite the frequency of these experiences, the speaker's reactions vary, with some encounters leaving her feeling disturbed and others uneventful. The speaker's ability to sense this energy seems to be a unique ability that not everyone shares. The speaker's experiences highlight the idea that some places may hold residual energy or entities from the past.

    • Distinguishing between different types of spiritual entitiesPeople can have normal experiences with spiritual entities, but it's important to recognize the potential risks and distinguish between different types of entities.

      While some people may have had memorable experiences with the supernatural, for others it's a common occurrence that they've learned to live with. The speaker distinguishes between different types of spiritual entities and views them as separate beings. They believe that these entities are not necessarily following them from place to place, but rather they are finding openings at certain locations and coming through. The speaker also shares a personal experience of being able to predict events, such as phone calls, which they attribute to a feeling they've had in the past. They emphasize that these experiences can be normal, but also acknowledge the potential harm that can come with encounters with darker entities. Overall, the speaker's perspective is one of curiosity and acceptance, with a recognition of the potential risks involved.

    • Exploring Unusual Beliefs and ExperiencesRespecting diverse perspectives adds depth to our understanding of the world. Even seemingly unusual or contradictory beliefs hold value in expanding our horizons.

      People's beliefs and experiences, even those that seem unusual or contradictory to our own, add depth and complexity to our understanding of the world. The speaker shares her fascination with hearing others' stories, even if they involve topics like ghosts or alien abductions, which are not her personal interests. She acknowledges the intricacy of these issues and the importance of respecting diverse perspectives. The speaker also reflects on her grandfather's belief in aliens, which surprised her due to his conservative background. Despite her initial skepticism, she comes to appreciate the uniqueness of every individual's viewpoint and the value of open communication. Ultimately, she cherishes the opportunity to learn from others and expand her own horizons.

    • Finding Connection Through Open DialogueEngage in open dialogue through shows and podcasts, support creators, and respectfully listen to diverse perspectives to foster understanding and empathy, ultimately leading to peace.

      Despite the ease of communication in today's world, miscommunication seems to be more prevalent than ever. However, understanding and empathizing with human experiences can bring us closer to peace. Shows and podcasts that provide a neutral platform for open dialogue and idea exchange can be a source of relief and connection, allowing us to respectfully engage with those who hold different perspectives. To support such content, listeners can leave positive reviews and ratings, become patrons, and share the links around social media. Ultimately, the truth may initially cause frustration, but it has the power to set us free.

    RELOADED | 502: Lost Treasure and Secret Petroglyphs of Virginia

    RELOADED | 502: Lost Treasure and Secret Petroglyphs of Virginia
    In Episode 502: Lost Treasure and Secret Petroglyphs of Virginia we are joined by Justin, Lance, and Ryan from the Appalachian Intelligence podcast, who reached out months ago regarding some unusual pictures they had taken in Virginia. Buried in the hills of Virginia, there is a huge rock that Justin, Lance, and Ryan stumbled across, with petroglyphs etched into its face. As they sought out answers to their discovery, the mystery became much deeper. With the information they’ve since been given, they are now joining in on a hunt for the lost treasure of the Swift Silver Mine, which might have a direct connection to their secret petroglyph boulder.

    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 | 387: Hunter Encounters Dogman

    RELOADED | 387: Hunter Encounters Dogman
    In Episode 387: Hunter Encounters Dogman, we are joined by Emmett. He tells us about his multiple UFO encounters, the shadow figures that plague him, and his grandfather visiting him in his dreams and morphing into something terrifying. Emmett also shares a unique encounter in Vermont while bear hunting, when he saw a white dogman climb a tree, and then exit the area by leaping from tree to tree. Even though Emmett was hunting for a bear, after seeing the dogman he believed the ammo he had in his gun would not have taken down that beast.

    We also have an Overtime show with Emmett available on the website and the Castos app for all members. In Overtime, Emmett recalls when he was a kids’ camp counselor and had a scary week-long experience with a little boy named Zachary. Zachary seems to have been demonically possessed, at the very least, but in my own opinion, I think there may have been a chance Zachary was not human at all. Emmett’s story has many twists and turns, including warlocks and mind control, and that’s just a fraction of what makes this story so bizarre!
