    Podcast Summary

    • The Haunted Goatman Bridge in Denton, TexasThe Goatman Bridge in Denton, Texas, is a famous haunted location with a legend of a creature called the Goatman, originating from a goat farmer's death, rumors of goat sacrifices, and eerie red eyes.

      The Old Alton Bridge, or Goatman Bridge, in Denton, Texas, is a well-known haunted location in the paranormal community. The bridge, which used to connect Denton and Old Alton, is now mostly torn down, but it's infamous for various paranormal experiences, including sightings of a creature called the Goatman. The origins of this legend involve a goat farmer's death, rumors of goat sacrifices, and eerie red eyes reportedly seen from the forest. Despite some skepticism, the bridge has been featured on popular paranormal shows. Whether you believe in the supernatural or not, the Goatman Bridge is a fascinating piece of local folklore that continues to intrigue people.

    • Comparisons between Ghost Adventures and BuzzFeed Unsolved, and the Goatman's popularityFans of paranormal shows would pay for a pay-per-view event featuring Zach Baggins and the Goatman, a legendary entity he encountered. Both Ghost Adventures and BuzzFeed Unsolved have contrasting personalities among their hosts, and maintaining a balance between belief and skepticism is crucial for paranormal investigators to maintain credibility.

      Ghost Adventures, specifically Zach Baggins, has gained significant popularity in the paranormal world, with comparisons being drawn to other popular paranormal shows like BuzzFeed Unsolved. Fans of the genre would likely pay for a pay-per-view event featuring Zach Baggins and the Goatman, a legendary entity he encountered. The Goatman has also been featured on BuzzFeed Unsolved, a YouTube and Prime series where the hosts investigate paranormal phenomena. The hosts have contrasting personalities, with one being skeptical and the other more jumpy, much like Zach Baggins and his friend. Despite the supernatural encounters, it's important for paranormal investigators to maintain a balance between belief and skepticism to maintain credibility. The bridge associated with the Goatman in Texas is now open to foot traffic but closed to vehicles and covered in graffiti, including references to the Goatman. The sound a goat makes is often graffitied on the bridge as well. While some may find the obsession with animal milk strange, it can be used to make cheese. The discussion also touched on the idea of getting a goat, but its utility for making omelettes or milk was debated.

    • Legends of a Haunted Bridge in TexasThe Bridge on Falcon Lake in Texas is famously known for various urban legends, including the lynching of an African American goat farmer and devil worship, but there's no solid evidence to back up these claims.

      The Bridge on Falcon Lake in Texas, known for its eerie reputation, has been the subject of various urban legends. One of these legends suggests that an African American goat farmer was lynched by the Ku Klux Klan due to his prosperity, leading to the haunting of the bridge. Another legend points towards devil worship taking place around the bridge and on it. Despite these rumors, there is no definitive evidence to support these claims. The discussion also touched upon the idea of dogs teaming up to take down a goat, which led to a humorous conversation. The rural setting of the bridge, located in Denton, North of Dallas, adds to the intrigue of these stories.

    • A bridge inhabited by a half-man, half-goat demonThe Goatman Bridge is a legendary site of paranormal activity, believed to be home to a half-man, half-goat demon that mocks the holy trinity and can be provoked by knocking three times. The bridge's surrounding area is known for strange occurrences and tragic events, fueling rumors of devil worshiping and unexplained phenomena.

      The Goatman Bridge, a legendary site of paranormal activity, is believed to be inhabited by a half-man, half-goat. This demonic spirit is said to be m mocking the holy trinity and can be provoked by knocking three times on the bridge. The surrounding area is known for strange occurrences, including reports of animals found in sacrificial circles and unexplained screams. The bridge has a history of tragic events, such as a successful black farmer being lynched and rumors of devil worshiping. The exact nature of the Goatman and the reasons for its presence remain a mystery, but it's believed that water, which is said to carry memory, may play a role. The bridge serves as a crossroads, where the unexplained and the unexplored meet, offering a glimpse into the unknown.

    • Encounters with the Goatman near a haunted bridgePeople report encounters with a mysterious entity, the Goatman, near a haunted bridge, described as having glowing eyes and aggressive behavior. Some dismiss it as a tall tale, while others believe in the paranormal explanation.

      The Goatman legend revolves around a haunted bridge where individuals report encounters with a physical entity. People describe the Goatman as having glowing, reflective eyes and being very aggressive, often dragging or throwing people. The bridge, which has metal beams or a wooden floor, is where individuals knock to summon the Goatman. Some believe the stories are just tall tales, while others claim to have had genuine encounters. For instance, one person shared an experience of seeing glowing red eyes while mocking the bridge, causing them to flee in fear. Another theory suggests that chicken bones and a pentagram found near the bridge were planted to scare people. Despite skepticism, some continue to believe in the existence of the Goatman, attributing their experiences to the paranormal.

    • The Goatman Bridge: A Compelling and Intriguing LegendDespite the lack of solid evidence, personal experiences and the bridge's tragic history fuel belief in its supernatural activity.

      The Goatman Bridge story, despite its intriguing history and numerous paranormal claims, leaves many feeling uncertain and detached due to the lack of solid evidence and the numerous explanations surrounding its hauntings. However, personal experiences and anecdotes, such as Melissa McCobb's encounter with the Haunted Texas Paranormal Group, can add credibility and fuel the belief in the bridge's supernatural activity. The bridge's haunting history, rooted in racial tensions and violence, adds an eerie and tragic layer to the paranormal claims, making it a compelling and intriguing legend.

    • A haunting tale of the Goatman BridgeThe Goatman Bridge story, rooted in history and personal encounters, offers a compelling and potentially authentic paranormal experience.

      The Goatman Bridge story, as shared by Melissa, presents a believable and intriguing account of paranormal activity. The presence of unexplained mist in a photograph, coupled with strange noises and potential sightings of a vengeful spirit, adds depth to the tale. The bridge's history, involving a lynched man seeking rest, provides a plausible explanation for the haunting. The story's relatability and potential authenticity make it a favorite among listeners. Additionally, the discovery of this story through personal encounters adds to its allure. Overall, the Goatman Bridge story offers a compelling and grounded paranormal experience.

    • Haunting at the bridge involves human spirit and demonic entityHaunting at bridge may involve human spirit and demon, making it unclear and uncertain for investigators

      The haunting at the bridge might involve both a human spirit and a demonic entity. The speaker believes that the traumatic death of a person at the bridge could have led to the creation of a human spirit, while the ritual activities could have conjured a demon. The presence of both origins creates a sense of uncertainty and makes it difficult for the speaker to fully believe in the haunting, as they feel the need for more stability and clarity in the story. This is a common issue in paranormal investigations, where multiple origin stories can make it challenging to determine the true nature of the haunting.

    • Demonic Origins of Bridge Creek MonsterThe belief in the demonic origins of the Bridge Creek Monster legend is more popular than the human tragedy theory, but both possibilities are acknowledged as subjective.

      The discussion revolved around the belief in the demonic origins of the Bridge Creek Monster legend, as opposed to a human tragedy. Both parties acknowledged the possibility of human involvement, but the consensus leaned more towards the demonic nature of the entity. The believability of the origin story was also acknowledged as a subjective matter, and the importance of personal experiences and feelings was emphasized. Despite initial skepticism, the conversation ended with a willingness to explore the phenomenon further and an appreciation for the specificity of the legend's setup. The discussion also touched upon the idea that locals might have a different perspective on the matter and that personal experiences and beliefs play a significant role in the acceptance of such legends.

    • Exploring the overlooked aspects of paranormal encountersInvestigating paranormal topics at their actual locations and sharing personal experiences can add credibility to reports and enhance discussions.

      Paranormal encounters and experiences go beyond what we see and tangibly witness. They involve feelings and sensations that are often overlooked. If we could investigate each topic in the actual location, our reports could potentially be more credible. The Goatman Bridge episode, for instance, presents various origin stories, from demonic rituals to historical backgrounds, and it would be interesting to know which one resonates with listeners the most. For those who have visited the bridge, sharing your experiences would add value to the discussion. Leaving a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts helps the podcast grow and reach a larger audience. Ultimately, the Believing the Bizarre podcast aims to explore the bizarre and intriguing, and we appreciate your listening, whether you believe in the stories or not.

    Mysterious Disappearances: Vol 1
    It's time for 3 intriguing and mysterious disappearance stories!
    Our first story involves Frederick Valentich.
    Fred was a young Australian pilot who vanished during a routine flight in 1978. Despite his struggles with exams, Fred pursued his dream of flying, only to disappear under bizarre circumstances. Moments before his disappearance, Fred reported a strange aircraft hovering above him, followed by unexplained metallic sounds. Was it a UFO encounter, a tragic accident, or an elaborate disappearance? With no wreckage found and conflicting theories, Fred's story continues to baffle investigators and captivate the public.
    Our second story revolves around Karl Hunrath.
    In 1952, Karl claimed a glowing orb transformed into an alien named Bosco in his bedroom, injecting him with "occult techniques" to build weapons against the US military. Despite initially refusing, Karl's suspicious garage activities and sudden relocation to California raised eyebrows. The story culminates in Karl and his associate Wilkinson's enigmatic disappearance during a flight to allegedly meet extraterrestrials.
    Our final story is about Granger Taylor.
    Despite being a high school dropout, Taylor's genius for mechanics and engineering was undeniable, from rebuilding complex machinery to constructing his own flying saucer replica. His fascination with extraterrestrial technology culminated in claims of telepathic alien contact and an invitation for an interstellar journey. On a stormy night in 1980, Taylor vanished without a trace, leaving behind only a cryptic note about a 42-month space voyage.

    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.

    Mike is the author of the best-selling books A Walk In The Shadows, and Alaska's Mysterious Triangle, as well as several historic paranormal books.

    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.

    #311 - Lust, Death, Insanity... And A Potato - Bagdad, Arizona

    This week, in Bagdad, Arizona, a man is attacked, in his front yard by a masked assailant, who immediately flees the scene. The only evidence at the scene is a little blood, and some shards of potato, baffling the investigators. His new, young bride thinks that her ex-husband must be the killer, but it turns out, she's been shacking up with a local insane man, who works with her, as a nurse's aide, but claims to be a doctor, lawyer, fighter pilot, and CIA agent, as well. He also claims that jail is controlling his thoughts, with a large machine, and writes letters to everyone, including the President of the US to try to get some relief. Will they execute a man, who is so clearly nuts? How do you use a potato for murder purposes?


    Along the way, we find out that the desert is an unforgiving place, that stupid, unattractive people can sometimes be swayed by smarter, more attractive people, and that you should never include a potato in your murder kit!!

One homicide case hits close to Jeff's home. Your hosts, comedian Jeff Bodart and paranormal investigator Evel Ogilville talk more about personal paranormal encounters, i.e. a ghost or multiple ghosts, a UFO sighting, what motivates us to delve into the topic of the paranormal and how we got to where we are.

    There's a local ghost story in my area , and I was surprised to find out its not well known.

    the story goes that the ghost of a homeless woman and her baby haunt the entrance of the royal arcade antiques shop in the seaside town of Southport in the UK .

    but not a lot of people are aware of this story , which set me off on a small quest to find out if Annie Matthews actually existed

    On this episode of The Residuals, Emily & Joy interview Deirdre about her many extra-sensory experiences. She explains why people have a really hard time getting away with lying to her and what it feels like when she experiences the death of someone close to her. Emily and Deirdre know one another through Deirdre's stables where Emily goes horse riding. Deirdre's premonitions have been a consistent force helping her to keep herself, her horses, and her clients safe. Giddy up, ghost babies!

    #304 - For Love Of My Cousin - Beckley, West Virginia

    #304 - For Love Of My Cousin - Beckley, West Virginia

    This week, in Beckley, West Virginia, we look at 2 stories, because they were too crazy to pick just one! First, a man with a "history of meanness" takes vengeance & violence to a whole new level, with acts that so brazen, it's like he wants to spend the rest of his life in prison. For the second story, we talk about a murder so horrendous, that's it's hard to believe that it's real. Twelve people are killed, in the most terrible way imaginable, so one teenaged young lady can continue her love affair with her adult cousin. The thing is, she might just get away with it. Find out what happens! It's absolutely mind boggling!!


    Along the way, we find out that West Virginia is for murder lovers, that you can even be murdered for doing exactly what the murderer tells you, and that cousin love must be HOT, because some people will fight for it, over everything!!
