    • Discovering a Hidden Camping SpotThe speaker cherishes the escape to nature, sharing a passion with friend Kate, and the significance of their remote camping spot as a source of comfort and direction in their lives

      The speaker cherishes the ability to escape the city and connect with nature, having developed a passion for camping during his Boy Scout days. He finds comfort in returning to the woods with his longtime friend Kate, who shares his appreciation for the outdoors. During their youth, they would trade secret camping spots as a way to cope with feelings of uncertainty and direction in their lives. One particularly remote spot, discovered through serendipitous means, became the setting for a significant experience. This secluded location, accessible by car but hidden deep in the woods, offered a much-needed escape from the pressures of society and the bureaucracy that the speaker had since joined.

    • A secluded campsite in the woodsFriends find peace and tranquility in a hidden, private campsite deep in the woods, enjoying simple pleasures and nature's beauty, despite potential risks.

      The speaker and his friend would often escape their burnout lives by camping in a secluded, idyllic spot deep in the woods. The location was hard to find, accessible only through a bumpy, unmarked road. The campsite, hidden near a man-made pond, was surrounded by thick foliage, ensuring complete privacy. They would bring their protective border collie, Lucas, and enjoy simple pleasures like hot dogs, beers, and the beauty of nature. Despite the risks of trespassing on DEC land, the seclusion and tranquility of the site made it their favorite escape.

    • The speaker's dog's unusual behavior warned them of intrudersPets' instincts and behavior can alert us to potential dangers, even in familiar environments

      The speaker and her dog had found a secluded camping spot they loved to visit regularly. The dog, named Lucas, was usually calm and happy at the site, but on one particular night, he became anxious and fixated on the tree line. Despite the dog's past behavior, the speaker and her companion dismissed his behavior and went to bed. However, that night, they were awakened by intruders, and the dog's anxiety had been a warning sign they had overlooked. The experience served as a reminder that even in seemingly safe and familiar environments, unexpected dangers can arise, and it's important to pay attention to our pets' behavior and instincts.

    • Unusual experiences and their potential meaningsAcknowledging and addressing unusual experiences, such as a dog's strange behavior or bottled up emotions, can lead to growth and improvement.

      Our experiences, no matter how unusual they may seem, don't always raise immediate alarm bells, but it's important to acknowledge and address them when necessary. For instance, a dog's strange behavior around a tree line might not seem concerning at first, but it could be a sign of something deeper. Similarly, bottling up emotions can lead to negative consequences, making it essential to seek help and express feelings through therapy. Additionally, exploring new experiences, such as appearing on a different podcast or shopping for affordable luxury clothing, can lead to unexpected connections and discoveries. So, whether it's addressing unusual behavior, dealing with emotions, or trying new things, taking the time to understand and address these experiences can lead to growth and improvement.

    • Discovering the Benefits of Pretty Litter for CatsPretty Litter's ultra-absorbent, low-dust, and long-lasting properties help control odors and provide early warning signs of potential health issues for cats. High-quality products and vigilance ensure pets' safety and well-being.

      Pretty Litter is a game-changer for cat owners. Its ultra-absorbent, low-dust, and long-lasting properties make it an excellent choice for controlling odors, while its color-changing crystals provide early warning signs of potential health issues. The speaker shares his experience of using a cheap litter that caused unpleasant smells and the relief he found with Pretty Litter. Additionally, the speaker shares an unexpected incident during camping where his wife woke him up due to strange noises outside their tent. Despite his initial dismissal, she insisted it was not a coyote, and the speaker eventually got up to investigate. This experience highlights the importance of being attentive to our surroundings and the potential dangers that may exist, even in seemingly safe environments. Overall, the discussion emphasizes the value of investing in high-quality products for our pets and being vigilant to ensure their safety and well-being.

    • Encounter with a Hostile CreatureDuring a camping trip, an unknown creature's aggressive behavior and size led the speaker to believe it was a large predator, causing fear and uncertainty for the group.

      The speaker encountered an unknown and hostile creature during a camping trip. The creature's behavior, such as its size, aggressive growling, and disregard for noise, led the speaker to believe it was a large predator, possibly a bear. The creature's hostility was evident in its growling and refusal to leave the campsite despite the speaker's attempts to scare it away. The speaker's dog, Lucas, also exhibited signs of fear, with his hackles raised and attempts to lead the group away from the creature. Overall, the experience was unnerving and left the speaker questioning the safety of the campsite and the unknown creature's intentions.

    • Encounter with an Intimidating Creature in the WoodsAn unknown, intimidating creature can unsettle even experienced individuals, leaving them uncertain about its motivations and behavior.

      The witness encountered an unidentified creature in the woods, which was estimated to be at least 7 feet tall with limbs that were abnormally long and wrong in proportion. The creature was dark-colored and emitted a gag-inducing smell. Its behavior suggested aggression and a desire to fight. Despite the witness's experience and knowledge about wildlife, the creature's intimidating presence caused them to flee. The encounter left the witness unable to determine the creature's motivations or whether it was bipedal or quadrupedal. The experience served as a reminder that even those who are confident in their ability to handle wildlife encounters can be unsettled by an unknown and intimidating presence.

    • Encounter with an Unidentified Creature in the WoodsAn unknown creature in the woods left experienced speakers feeling helpless and afraid, despite their knowledge of local wildlife and extensive research.

      The speakers encountered an unknown and aggressive creature in the woods of upstate New York, which left them terrified and unable to identify it. Despite their experience and knowledge of the local wildlife, they could not explain what they had encountered. The creature's lack of eye shine, which is a common feature in most animals, added to their confusion and fear. They spent the night in a McDonald's parking lot, unable to sleep or come up with an explanation for the encounter. The experience left them feeling helpless and shaken, and they were unable to identify the creature even after extensive research. The unknown creature served as a reminder that there are some things in nature that defy explanation and can leave us feeling vulnerable and afraid.

    • The mysteries of nature can leave us feeling baffled and uncertainSometimes the natural world presents unexplainable phenomena, leaving us feeling puzzled and uncertain, and respecting others' beliefs is important when seeking explanations.

      Sometimes the unknown in nature can be unexplainable and leave us feeling baffled. A couple went camping in an area they believed was safe, but were forced to leave in a hurry due to an unidentified threat. Upon returning, they found their campsite untouched, leaving them puzzled and uncertain of what had occurred. Despite their initial fear, they discovered no signs of intrusion or damage. The experience left them feeling uneasy and reluctant to discuss it with others. The incident serves as a reminder that the natural world can present mysteries that may never be fully understood, and that sometimes the unknown is better left unexplored. The experience also highlights the importance of respecting the boundaries and beliefs of others, particularly those from native communities, when seeking explanations for unexplained phenomena.

    • Encountering strange phenomena on Onondaga Nation reservationUnexplained noises, damaged trees, and tall figure sightings are part of cultural beliefs on Onondaga Nation reservation, believed to be caused by dark and light entities

      Frank Buffalo Hyde shares his experiences of encountering strange phenomena on his Onondaga Nation reservation, including hearing unexplained noises, finding damaged trees, and seeing tall figures resembling dogs. These occurrences are believed to be linked to the existence of dark and light entities in their community, which are part of their cultural beliefs. Hyde also mentions the importance of respecting certain aspects of their traditions and not sharing specific rituals or beliefs with outsiders. The exact nature of these entities or the experiences remains uncertain, but they seem to be genuinely outside the bounds of commonly known supernatural stories.

    Wendy & Solveig [Patreon Preview]

    Wendy & Solveig [Patreon Preview]
    Last year, during the first interview with Solveig, I learned that she had a reading with Wendy coming up. This was early 2023, and I was still just getting to know Wendy (the clairvoyant from the "Ball of Light" episodes) and having trouble wrapping my head around her in general. Then I met Solveig, and it was just so much to process at once. I thought it would be interesting to sort of test them both by recording this reading and ensuring that Wendy knew nothing about Solveig or her story going into it. I also wanted to do this because there were things Wendy had told me in the past that were very similar to some of the things Solveig had told me.
