Enoch. A mysterious biblical figure is described as ascending bodily into heaven in Genesis. He is alleged to have written a book of his travels through the cosmos and encounters with fallen angels; the eponymous “Book of Enoch.” This enigmatic text was revered by ancient Jews and Christians. Today, it is rejected by most established religions, but popular with counter-cultural spirituality and paranormal researchers.

Dane argues that the Book of Enoch is a cultural touchstone that brings together Christian, Jewish and Greek mythology. More than that, the text provides a unified account of the origins of evil including the origins of such 'creepy evil' as giants, sirens, evil spirits and fallen angels. Furthermore, the forces of darkness are located in diverse liminal spaces around the cosmos - from hollowed-out mountains to chaotic zones in outer space. This suggests the book is attempting to explain why we encounter paranormal phenomena in fringe and borderland locales. Taken together, all the unusual features of this book suggest we can best see it as a "cryptidnomicon" - a unified account of weird and disturbing fringe phenomena. The episode ends with Dane reviewing the impact the Book of Enoch has had on modern magicians, bigfoot research and UFOlogy.
