On this special, one year anniversary episode of Almost Canon Nick invites YouTuber Adventure Explore Discover back on the show to talk about the Navajo Skinwalker.....A nightmarish being who uses dark magic to walk in the skins of Animals.

Nick goes over the history of what a Skinwalker is and where their magic came from. He also goes over their use of corpse powder and the "ultimate sacrifice" each prospective skin walker must make. He then finishes the show by reading several stories that involve suspected skinwalkers.

So I hope you're as excited as we are! We choose IT Chapter 1 for our inaugural episode as it is one of the best summer movies out there. so sit back, relax, cook some popcorn and enjoy IT Chapter 1

We'll be going over a handful of lost treasure stories from the Green Mountain State that I've pulled from a a book on lost treasure in New England by W. C. Jameson.

This book is one of W C Jameson's "lost treasure in America" books, specifically "Lost Treasures of New England'.

Sorry about the late episode but my wife just had our son! anyways this weeks episode is an important one. With all the focus on congressional hearings and UFOs/UAPs I figured id look into some of the littler known close encounters. I was going to talk about this event in passing last week but decided to dedicate an entire episode to it and good thing because there is so much to unpack here! this encounter with those from above is widely viewed as one of if not the most important UFO encounter to ever happen. It involves a little of everything: crashed space ships; little green (brown) men; threatened witnesses; government coverups; secret agents; men in black (and white) and everything in-between. So sit back, relax and listen to The Varginha Incident.
