    Podcast Summary

    • Mirrored MonolithsMysterious mirrored monoliths, initially believed to be of extraterrestrial origin due to sudden appearance during pandemic, later revealed to be artistic expression from anonymous group, origin of new monolith remains uncertain

      The mysterious appearance of mirrored monoliths, last seen in 2020, has resurfaced, this time near Grass Peak in North Las Vegas. These monoliths, which are about six to seven feet tall and made of mirrors, initially sparked speculation about extraterrestrial life due to their sudden appearance during the pandemic. However, they were later revealed to be an artistic expression from an anonymous group called the Most Famous Artist, an art collective. Despite this revelation, the new monolith's origin remains uncertain, leaving room for continued intrigue and debate. The monoliths, which are nearly invisible due to their reflective properties, first emerged in various locations around the country in 2020, causing a stir and fueling theories about aliens or other hidden meanings. The recent discovery of another monolith adds to the ongoing fascination with these enigmatic structures.

    • Jupiter's moons discoveryPredictions suggest the discovery of microbial life on Jupiter's moons between 2026 and 2028, which would significantly expand our understanding of life beyond Earth

      We are on the brink of discovering extraterrestrial life, according to predictions from various sources, including a Brazilian mystic named Athosolome. The discovery is predicted to occur between 2026 and 2028 and may involve microorganisms found near Jupiter's moons. This prediction is not entirely new, as the possibility of life existing in Jupiter's atmosphere has been a long-standing theory. However, the discovery would still represent a groundbreaking moment in biological exploration and our understanding of life beyond Earth. While some may view this prediction as safe, others find the idea of encountering extraterrestrial life to be both exciting and potentially world-altering. The discovery could challenge our understanding of life and its potential to thrive in various environments.

    • Whale Gathering in Provincetown HarborAn unusual gathering of over 160 various whale species, including humpback, fin, sperm, right, seawale, and orcas, has occurred in Provincetown Harbor, drawing the attention of whale watchers. It is natural and not caused by human activity.

      An unprecedented gathering of over 160 different types of whales, including humpback, fin, seawale, sperm, right, and orcas, has appeared in Provincetown Harbor. This event, which may have involved some double-counting by scientists, has caused a spectacle for whale watchers. The whales, which have various diets from plankton to giant squid, are likely just vacationing in the area. The presence of orcas, which can be dangerous, has led to concerns, but there are no reports of attacks. Scientists are unsure what is causing this mass gathering, but it is believed to be natural and not a result of human activity. Whale watching in the area is currently a popular attraction due to the guarantee of seeing these magnificent creatures.

    • Visible StarThe Blaze Star, located approximately 3000 light years away, will be visible to the naked eye between June and September of 2024. Look for it between Arcturus and Vega in the constellation Corona Borealis.

      For the first time in over 70 years, a star named the Blaze Star, located approximately 3000 light years away from our solar system, will become visible to the naked eye. This star is expected to brighten up to the intensity of the North Star between June and September of 2024. To find it, look for the stars of the Big Dipper in the Northern Sky, then follow the handle of stars to Arcturus and Vega. Between these two stars, you'll find Corona Borealis, which will be high overhead and dark. The Blaze Star isn't a new star, but rather one that cycles in brightness. It's currently about 3000 light years away and should be visible without the need for binoculars or telescopes. Though it won't change any constellations, it will add a new and intriguing sight to the night sky. Unfortunately, those living in areas with high light pollution, such as New York, Miami, LA, and Charlotte, North Carolina, may have a harder time seeing it.

    • Ancient structures and their perceived purposesPerceptions of ancient structures can differ greatly, with some attributing unusual purposes based on assumptions, while others see them for their historical significance

      Our perception of ancient structures and their purposes can vary greatly. For instance, some believe that the Neolithic site of Sitz Skara-Bria in Scotland was a defense position against extraterrestrial beings due to the discovery of picture stones depicting people fleeing from the sky. However, this theory is not universally accepted and is largely based on assumptions. The idea of constellations, another ancient concept, has also been a subject of debate, with some finding it hard to see the imagination behind them. Despite their historical significance as guides for travelers, constellations may not hold the same level of fascination for everyone. The discovery of ancient sites and artifacts continues to challenge our understanding of history and fuel our curiosity about the unknown.

    • Ancient Egyptian Technology, CryptidsAncient Egyptians may have used 3D printing to build pyramids, while Bigfoot-like cryptids like the 'Almost Man' and 'Woodwose' were discussed in a light-hearted manner.

      During a discussion about bizarre news, the topic of ancient civilizations and their advanced technology came up, specifically the possibility that the ancient Egyptians may have used 3D printing to build the pyramids. Another topic covered was a ranking of Bigfoot-like cryptids, with Charlie and Tyler ranking their top seven choices, including the "Almost Man" from Central Asia and the "Woodwose" from the UK. The discussion was light-hearted and included some humor, with each person expressing their preferences and opinions. The episode also mentioned the availability of additional news stories for those who support the podcast on Patreon.

    • Misidentification of creaturesMisinformation and misunderstandings can occur even on platforms like YouTube, leading to misidentification of creatures and unnecessary debates.

      While we may turn to YouTube for answers, there's still a chance for misinformation and misunderstandings. For instance, the "abominable swamp slob" or SS, which can range from 4.5 to 12 feet, was mistakenly identified as a Bigfoot from Chicago instead of Illinois. The conversation then led to various other topics, including Caleb Williams, Jersey, and the Bears. The group also discussed the possibility of other unknown creatures and debated over their preferences, with one person favoring the swamp slob and another the Yeti. The conversation was filled with humor and comic relief, as well as personal anecdotes and pop culture references. Overall, it highlights the importance of double-checking information and the enjoyment of exploring the unknown, even if it leads to some confusion along the way.

    • Legendary MonstersSpeakers shared personal experiences with various legendary monsters from different parts of the country, agreeing that they continue to captivate and intrigue people, despite confusion over their placements or reality.

      During this discussion, the speakers were sharing their personal experiences and encounters with various legendary monsters and creatures from different parts of the country. Among them were the Boggy Creek Monster from Arkansas, the Honey Island Swamp Monster from Louisiana, the Yeti from the Himalayas, the Ohio Grassman, the Abominable Swamp Slob, the Woodwose, and the Almond. While some speakers were more confident about their placements, others were unsure or even confused about which monster belonged where. Despite the confusion, they all agreed that these creatures, whether real or mythical, continue to captivate and intrigue people. The speakers also shared their personal connections to these creatures, such as encounters with people who claimed to have seen them or having watched documentaries about them. Overall, the conversation was a fun and engaging exploration of the world of monster folklore.

    • Bigfoot-like creaturesListeners were encouraged to share their personal lists of unique Bigfoot-like creatures with various characteristics and backstories on social media platforms.

      During this episode of their podcast, the hosts discussed their personal lists of Bigfoot-like creatures, each with unique characteristics and backstories. The list included the Honey Island Swamp Monster, Disney's Yeti, the Abominable Swamp Slob, the Ohio Grassman, the Wood Woes, Hagrid, and a Buggy Creep Son of a Bitch Crop Monster. While some were more lighthearted and playful, others were more ominous and terrifying. The hosts invited listeners to share their own lists and opinions on social media platforms like Spotify, Instagram, and Facebook. Overall, the discussion showcased the hosts' creativity, sense of humor, and passion for the mysterious and unexplained.

    The Demonic Attachment Felix

    The Demonic Attachment Felix
    We have 3 listener submissions this week!

    Story 1-
    In 2010, Stephanie and her boyfriend's family moved into a spacious rental house that seemed perfect at first. Shortly after moving in, Stephanie experienced a frightening incident in the bathroom when an unseen presence tried to open the door while she was showering.
    Weeks later, she heard unexplained growling in the hallway, and her boyfriend's mother, Deborah, saw a shadowy figure in her bathroom and kitchen. Throughout their stay, the family encountered numerous unexplained occurrences, including constantly unlocked doors, an unusual accumulation of dead flies, and mysterious symbols etched inside cabinets that weren't there when they moved in.
    Despite the unsettling experiences, the family stayed in the house for a year before moving out. After leaving the property, Stephanie and her boyfriend's family stopped experiencing paranormal activity.

    Story 2-
    Throughout his childhood, Josh experienced several paranormal encounters in his family home, including seeing an elderly man in rags and shadowy figures roaming the halls. At age 5, Josh was so terrified by these nightly apparitions that he would sleep on his mother's bedroom floor, unaware that he was sleep-talking about "black robes" to her.
    Years later, as a teenager, Josh had a vivid sleep paralysis episode involving a burned figure and a woman instructing him to bleed the radiators, which he seemingly did in reality while asleep.
    After this incident, Josh developed an unexplained scar on his right shoulder that resembled a burn mark, adding a physical dimension to his supernatural experiences.

    Story 3-
    Sophia (anonymous) lived with her brother John and a roommate named Melissa, who claimed to have a demon attachment and practiced occult activities in their shared house. One night, while home alone, Sophia experienced an inexplicable incident where furniture was rearranged and kitchen cabinets were opened without any apparent explanation.
    A subsequent paranormal investigation revealed the presence of multiple entities in the house, including a potentially malevolent spirit.
    Following this event, Sophia experienced ongoing paranormal activity, including shadow figures, strange noises, and physical sensations, until she moved out of the house in March 2020, after which the haunting phenomena ceased.

    The Warped Faces and Shadow Entity

    The Warped Faces and Shadow Entity
    It's listener submission time and we have two creepy tales for you today! In the first story, Chris and his friend Mike were interested in the paranormal and started using a Ouija board. Initially, nothing unusual happened, but then they connected with a spirit named Adam Greene. They asked for signs of his presence, and the planchette spun rapidly and flew off the board. Another time, they heard slow, pounding footsteps behind a sheet hung in the doorway, followed by a flash of light. 
    Over time, Adam's messages turned darker and insulting, and he seemed to shift to an evil persona named "Fuzzy". Paranormal events intensified. Chris had an out-of-body dream where he flew over Mike and his parents. Mike revealed they had all seen a shadow fly over them in real life. Chris believes the entity may have been the demon Zozo based on the double Z in the name, the evil energy, and the bad luck they experienced, including Mike's uncle passing away. Eventually, they stopped using the board as too many disturbing things were happening.
    Story #2 involves Robin.
    When Robin was six, his friend Jason's father took them to a cemetery in the woods at 2-3am after giving them beer. They opened a grave, saw a skeleton, then heard loud footsteps and shrieking. Soon after, Robin began seeing terrifying faces peeking into his room at night that would vanish when he looked directly at them. It caused him great fear, keeping him up at night. One time, he woke to see a face at the foot of his bed staring at him, then his covers flew off by themselves. He ran out of the house in terror. At age 16, Robin returned to the cemetery with friends and was chased off by the angry landowner. That night, they all had the same nightmare of a ghostly female figure screaming at them from the disturbed grave. Now at 21, Robin still sees the scary faces and also hears disembodied sounds. Most frighteningly, he sees a tall, pitch-black figure darker than the surrounding darkness appearing in doorways and on the stairs. It sometimes charges at him on all fours before vanishing. Photos never capture this haunting presence. Robin doesn't believe enough in God to get an exorcism, so he is trying to cope with the ongoing supernatural torment.

    For more than six years he has hosted The Edge of the Rabbit Hole livestream show and also hosts the Connecting the Universe interactive class. He operates his own book publishing and video production company, Haunted Road Media, representing a number of authors, and winning the award for Excellent Media in The Paranormal Field at the 2019 Shockfest Film Festival.Mike’s historic paranormal articles have been published in The Baltimore Sun, Paranormal Underground Magazine, and he previously wrote an Oklahoma City paranormal column for Examiner.com (2010 – 2014).

    In this interview, Mike Ricksecker discusses his personal experiences with shadow entities and other supernatural phenomena that set him on his current path. He explains his "stacked time" theory, proposing that time is not linear but that past, present and future exist concurrently. Ricksecker suggests some ghostly encounters may actually be "time slips" where two moments resonate at the same frequency. He also shares insights on the unique energy and phenomena of the Alaska Triangle, the possible link between aliens and shadow people, and his view that while some shadow entities may be demonic, interdimensional, or extraterrestrial, we shouldn't overgeneralize them as all being evil. Finally, Ricksecker discusses astral projection and his belief that the key to time travel lies in achieving specific meditative states, something challenging for busy modern lifestyles. His ideas provide an open-ended, thought-provoking perspective on the paranormal.

    The Kelly Cahill Alien Abduction

    The Kelly Cahill Alien Abduction
    In August 1993, Kelly Cahill, a 27-year-old mother of three from Victoria, Australia, experienced a life-changing UFO encounter. While driving home from a party with her husband, Andrew, they witnessed a mysterious craft with orange lights in a nearby field.
    Later that night, they encountered the same object hovering above the road, and as they approached it, they saw figures inside before it disappeared.
    Suddenly, a bright light engulfed their car, and they experienced a mysterious blackout, losing an hour of time. In the following weeks, Kelly and her husband suffered from various inexplicable symptoms, including headaches, nausea, and fatigue. Kelly discovered a strange triangular mark and a scar on her body. As her memories of the encounter began to resurface, she recalled being approached by tall, thin, black figures with luminous red eyes.
    Despite the entities' telepathic reassurances, Kelly felt an overwhelming sense of evil and terror. Kelly reached out to Bill Chalker, a renowned UFO researcher, who investigated the incident and discovered additional witnesses who had similar experiences that night.
    The investigation uncovered physical evidence at the site, including chemical and magnetic anomalies, unusual radiation readings, and inexplicable marks in the field. As Kelly's story gained media attention, she became a prominent figure in the UFO research community. She appeared on television shows, participated in conferences, and authored a book titled "Encounter:
    The True Story." Despite the incredible nature of her account, Kelly Cahill has been consistently regarded as a credible witness, with no history of mental illness or apparent motive for deception. Her experience remains one of the most compelling and well-documented cases in UFO history.

    Finland's Myths and Monsters

    Finland's Myths and Monsters
    Finland, a land of breathtaking landscapes and rich history, is home to a captivating array of mythical creatures and tales.
    From the depths of the sea to the heart of the forest, these legends have been woven into the fabric of Finnish culture for centuries. The malevolent Iku-Turso, known as the "ox of death" and "father of diseases," lurks in the ocean's depths, while the mischievous Menninkäinen, reminiscent of hobbits and gnomes, dance in the woods and delight in riddles and shiny treasures. 
    In the vast forests, one may encounter the shape-shifting Peikko, giant trolls feared as bogeymen who kidnap and torture children.
    The enchanting Keiju, delicate fairy-like beings, grace the skies and woodlands in three distinct forms: Luonnotar, Ilmatar, and Metsänneito. The enigmatic Hiisi, towering humanoid creatures, dwell in the mountains and forests, marking sacred sites and challenging those who dare to enter their domain.
    These powerful spirits can be both malevolent and beneficial, causing harm or offering aid when summoned by skilled shamans. The Näkki, a seaweed-clad immortal water demon, haunts the depths of ponds and rivers, luring unsuspecting children to their watery graves. Only through the utterance of magical incantations can one hope to escape its grasp.
    Lastly, the majestic Otso, the king of the forest and bear spirit, is revered as a friend, brother, or even a transformed human, symbolizing the deep connection between the Finnish people and the natural world.
    These mythical beings, each with their unique characteristics and stories, continue to capture the imagination and inspire awe in those who explore the fascinating realm of Finnish mythology.

    Sleep Paralysis Stories: Vol 1

    Sleep Paralysis Stories: Vol 1
    Sleep Paralysis Stories: Volume 1

    Over the years we have had tons of listeners submit potential sleep paralysis stories, so we decided to combine a handful of them into a new, unique listener submission collection - sleep paralysis stories!
    Sleep paralysis is a terrifying experience where individuals find themselves conscious but unable to move, often accompanied by hallucinations of shadow figures, entities, and the infamous "old hag."
    Theories range from supernatural encounters to a dream-like state caused by the brain's inability to control the body during sleep. People from various locations have shared their unsettling experiences, highlighting the fear and helplessness felt during these episodes.
    Some individuals, like Madison, have had sleep paralysis for years, with recurring visions of a woman in a 1920s dress and the mysterious "Hat Man." Despite the initial terror, Madison eventually found comfort in these encounters, particularly during a difficult period in her life when a shadow figure appeared to offer support. Alex, on the other hand, had a particularly vivid experience involving a menacing dog and a shadowy figure, leaving him questioning the line between reality and dreams.
    Zacharia, a 15-year-old living in an old San Francisco house, has been sensitive to the paranormal for years. He has seen balls of light, experienced unexplained occurrences, and even encountered an apparition he calls "George."
    Recently, Zacharia has been experiencing nightly episodes of sleep paralysis, accompanied by strange noises and a feeling of being weighed down, leading him to believe that a poltergeist may be responsible.
    Kieren, who has had various paranormal encounters, including UFO sightings and experiences with spirits, learned about sleep paralysis through his studies as a biology major.
    While his first experience was relatively tame, a subsequent episode involved a shadow person appearing in the corner of his eye. By reminding himself that it was a trick of the mind and focusing on relaxing his muscles, Kieren was able to make the shadow disappear and regain control of his body.

    The Contorting Entity Hugo

    The Contorting Entity Hugo
    The Contorting Entity Hugo

    It's listener submission time again! The listener has requested to stay anonymous, so as always, we got a Sophia story!

    From a young age, Sophia possessed an innate sensitivity to the paranormal, able to sense the emotions and energy of those around her, including spirits. Despite her belief in ghosts, she had never directly encountered a shadow person until she was 12 or 13 years old. 
    In her bedroom, she began to feel a presence watching her, which she eventually named "Hugo." Initially, the presence seemed benign, but after a series of unsettling events, including a lotion bottle mysteriously moving and recurring dreams of Hugo clinging to her wall with large, black eyes, Sophia's fear grew, forcing her to seek refuge in her sister's room. 
    Sophia's family home in Georgia, shared by her parents, sister, and grandparents, held its own secrets. She always felt nervous in her grandparents' house, hearing strange noises at night that were dismissed as the settling of an old house.
    As a young adult, while living in a nearby mother-in-law suite with her fiancé, Sophia experienced intense feelings of panic and unease when alone in the main house, particularly while using the bathroom. These feelings eventually subsided, only to be replaced by scratching sounds and other unexplained occurrences.
    One morning, while Sophia's grandfather was confined to a hospital bed in the living room, she heard knocking and footsteps while showering. The footsteps ran down the hallway towards the spare rooms, but the door, known for its loud creak, never opened. When Sophia emerged from the bathroom, she found the door still shut and her grandfather claiming to have heard nothing.
    Shaken, she quickly left the house, marking the end of her personal encounters in the family home. Despite the passing of her grandfather, Sophia's grandmother (Nanny) continues to reside in the house, claiming to have friendly encounters with ghosts.
    Both Sophia and her Nanny have experienced moments that felt like the presence of her late grandfather, leaving them to wonder about the reality of their experiences. Though the fear was genuine at the time, Sophia now reflects on these events with a sense of curiosity and wonder, forever changed by her journey through the paranormal.

    Madeleine Arnoux, Marius DeWilde, and Maurice Masse Alien Encounters

    Madeleine Arnoux, Marius DeWilde, and Maurice Masse Alien Encounters
    This week on Believing the Bizarre we have three incredibly alien encounters that took place in France.

    Our first story takes place in the summer of 1944, when 13-year-old Madeleine Arnoux was on a bicycle ride to pick up food from a nearby farm. 
    During a brief rest in a meadow, she stumbled upon a strange, metallic craft and tiny humanoid creatures dressed in brown one-piece suits. Frozen in fear, Madeleine eventually fled the scene, keeping her encounter a secret for nearly 30 years before finally sharing her story with the world.
    Fast forward to 1954, when railway worker Marius Dewilde experienced a chilling encounter near his home in Nord, France. One night, his dog's incessant barking led him to discover a strange object and two small humanoid figures near the railroad tracks.
    Paralyzed by a beam of light from the object, Marius helplessly watched as the beings boarded their craft and ascended into the night sky. In the aftermath of the incident, investigators discovered physical evidence supporting Marius's account, solidifying his place in UFO history.
    Our final story takes us to the picturesque region of Valensole, France, where farmer Maurice Masse had a close encounter of the third kind in July 1965. While taking a cigarette break, Masse noticed an oval-shaped object landing in a nearby lavender field, accompanied by two humanoid figures.
    When one of the figures raised a cylindrical device, Masse was struck by a beam that left him paralyzed on the ground. As the figures boarded their craft and flew away, they left behind physical evidence that would later support Masse's incredible story.
    These three extraordinary French alien encounters serve as a testament to the enduring mystery and allure of UFOs in France and beyond.
