The Cryptonaut Podcast

Dwelling within the eldritch realms of cryptozoology, ufology and the occult are an array of eccentric entities, but—lurking on the nebulous fringes of these already weird worlds—are an even more anomalous array of anarchic organisms. In this episode we’ll be taking another deep dive into the unfathomably weird waters of Batsh*t crazy Cryptids.

As incredibly unique as the vast swathe of humanity seems to be, the fact is that the amount of genetic variation between any two people is staggeringly small. According to Phase 1 of the Human Genome Project, all of the human beings currently populating the earth are 99.9% identical at the DNA level. This serves as a refreshing reminder that despite our seemingly insurmountable differences, we’re all made of the same stuff. But—even as we celebrate this great unity—we must recognize that there are, hidden among us, an undefined “Other”. A separate species that lurks not in the shadows but within the masses of humanity; mimicking us almost, but not quite, to perfection. Who are these Others and what do they want with us?

Nestled near the southern most point of California, less than 100-miles east of San Diego, is the stark, stunning and utterly inhospitable environ known as the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. Dangerous for all the myriad reasons deserts are usually avoided—blistering heat, treacherous landscapes, the constant threat of dehydration and, of course, an overabundance of venomous species—the arid hell-scape that is Anza-Borrego also boasts an array of lesser known, though no less lethal, predators. These threats come in the form of a crazy coalition bizarre beings, inexplicable illuminations, alien interlopers, sinister specters, UFOs of all shapes and size and a contingent of colossal and clearly carnivorous critters known collectively as the Borrego Sandmen. This often deadly nexus of high-strangeness, not surprisingly, occupies a trilateral region within the desert park that has come to be known as the “Borrego Triangle.”

Although 1978 was a banner year for Italian ufology, the tail end of this mega-wave would prove to be one of the most intense in history. While the bewildered citizens of Italy had already been plagued by a basket full of bizarre beings, even for them the weirdest—was yet to come.

For approximately two months in the winter of 1978, the nation of Italy was besieged by a bevy of bizarre beings who seemed hellbent on making their presence known to as many eyewitnesses as possible, forcing one to wonder why it was that Italy was chosen to be the epicenter of this curious cosmic convention.

For many, memories of slumber parties revolve around late nights, laughter, junk food, bad movies and gossip sessions that last until first light, but for one group of girls who opted to dabble in the occult, this frivolity gave way to phantom felines and a possible possession, leading these terrified tweens to a hellacious confrontation with diabolical agents from which some may have never recovered.

In the mid-1980’s a recent divorcé moved to a rural region of north Texas with just a handful of possessions and his faithful dog in tow. Finding steady work and moving into a run-down trailer on a remote stretch of woodland, this hardworking man was ready to buckle down and begin his new life... but little could he have expected that his new home was on land that had already been claimed by a bizarre brute who was about to make his life a living hell.

According to thousands of witnesses worldwide, our mystery shrouded world is chock full of utterly enigmatic entities of all shapes and size, but few of these bizarre beings are more frightening and fascinating than the silent, semi-humanoid stalkers known as Shadow People. Here we present two accounts from our listeners who have had all-too close encounters with these terrifying beings.

In 2010, a young Hawaiian trekked toward the moonlit shores of Oʻahu in order to take in some night surfing. Well aware of the risks involved in this solo expedition, this intrepid water sports enthusiast never once suspected that his dance with danger would begin before he even got into the water with a crazy confrontation that not only shattered his notions of reality, but plunged him headlong into the tumultuous seas of high strangeness.

In going down the winding rabbit hole that is John Edmond’s Stardust Ranch Odyssey one could be forgive for thinking they are being sold a bill of goods; a Franken-fairy tale cobbled together out of various winding occult roads, supernatural subdivisions and ufological cul-de-sacs, until a seemingly complete and (at least to the paranormally inclined) authentic road map emerges, one that feels real but it utterly fictional. This could be forgiven because even for those of us well-versed in paranormal lore, this has vibe of something that’s either the most incredible nexus of metaphysical mayhem ever chronicled in a single geographic location, upending centuries of skepticism in the face of what the claimants offer as overwhelming proof of high-strangeness or it is as it appears to many to be… simply too good to be true.

In the summer of 1997 a family of four arrived at a picturesque cabin surrounded by lush Oregon forest nestled on the high cliffs above the Pacific; a paradise on Earth. But—as they unpacked, looking forward to what ought to have been an idyllic fortnight on a stunning stretch of American woodland—they could little have suspected that their dream come true was destined to devolve into a living nightmare that thrust this well educated couple and their unsuspecting children headlong into a world occupied by fairy-tale fiends come to shocking life.

December 11th, 2023—never before in humanity’s long and tumultuous tethering to (and fascination with) the UAP or UFO phenomenon have we, as a species, been closer to the truth: a truth that may well herald a new epoch (for better or worse) of human history. On the cusp of what may well be one of the defining moments for all humankind, it behooves us to consider some of the potential implications that such a revelation might have on ourselves, our allies, our enemies and all future generations.

According to legend the untamed hills and hollows of Kentucky were once home to a population of small, semi-simian humanoids. Reports state that at the turn of the 20th century these pernicious proto-humans were wiped out—much like the Tasmanian Tiger—by overzealous hunters, but there’s evidence to suggest that these diminutive cave dwellers managed to survive at least until the 1990s when they once again made their presence known to the horror of one family and their unsuspecting friends.

Considering that the East Coast is by far the most populated region of the US, it would be easy to assume that any mysterious monsters that once lived there would have long since vacated the area, but nothing could be further from the truth. These two bizarre cases prove that anomalous entities have not only managed to survive, but thrive in the small, densely, forested pockets that remain on the eastern seaboard.

This little blue orb we call home is chock-full of anomalous aquatic animals. According to published reports, 94% of the world's living species live underwater and 91% of those have yet to be discovered, described or cataloged. Today we offer a sample platter of the evidently endless paranormal parade that makes up this moist menagerie of monstrosities.

One of the most bizarre phenomenons to hit the paranormal arena in recent years are run-ins with pale, cadaverous, crawling humanoids who are nocturnally stalking not only the remote wooded areas one might expect, but also the once safe suburbs and even desolate city streets; forcing one to wonder if we might be bearing witness to a silent invasion of creepy crawlies that are both horrifying and—according to some reports—extremely dangerous.

In 2008, a young, Chicago athlete was struck by a series of wracking chest pain. After being rushed to the hospital, the high school student’s biggest fears were the end of his basketball career and the surgery he’d have to undergo. But after just one night in this hospital from hell—during which the teenager endured a nightmarish odyssey in a freakishly familiar word—he was left with the lingering knowledge that the true horror he’d faced was the nebulous nature of reality itself.

Two Cryptonaut Podcast listeners, inspired by hearing past episodes, realized that they’d had similar paranatural experiences to those discussed. The first, reported a near—and potentially sinister—contact with the Ashtar Command and the Galactic Council… the second had a run-in with one of the most enigmatic entities ever chronicled a; haunting, patchwork, scarecrow-like, inter-dimensional, wood-based being known as Sam the Sandown Ghost Clown… and this time, this bizarre being was not alone.

It is a sad truth that children—more so than any others in society—are tormented by those bigger and stronger than themselves. Exacerbating this already troubling trend is the fact that these misanthropic yobbos can be corporeal, inhuman or decidedly dead. In this episode we explore terrifying true tales of kids being antagonized (or outright attacked) by an array of massive, red-eyed, moist-footed monstrosities as well as a tiny, toothy goblin with a taste for human flesh and a sinister skeletal secret.

In the wild world of Cryptozoology, spontaneous sightings of one off weirdos is the rule rather than the exception, but every now and then we come across an account, revealing that what seemed to be a one and done encounter is actually just the beginning of what will become repeated run-ins with these anomalous animals. Here we present two never before heard eyewitness accounts from folks who claim to have seen these potentially malefic monstrosities a second time!
