History is full of mysterious and supernatural events. The sinking of Atlantis;  the building of the sphinx and great pyramids; the arrival of the Tuatha De; the resurrection of Jesus Christ; …… I mean there are just so many different events and people we could spend all year listing them all.

     But when it comes to history and the supernatural, there’s nothing better than digging through mythology and folklore. Because when it comes to myths and legends, we here at Almost Canon have always believed there’s some sort of truth behind the story and when it comes to a good story, it doesn’t get much better better than those told by the Native Americans. 

      So what we’re gunna do this week is take a closer look at some of the creatures seen in those Native American stories. 

    This was meant to be the November bonus episode, and yes, I’m still running late on that damn bonus episode, but it was just too important not to share with the wider world. 

     Some of these creatures have already taken on a life of their own, like the wendigo and skinwalkers while others are clearly early interpretations of cryptids and supernatural beings like Sasquatch, Dogman and giants. 

     Now let’s take a closer look at some of these beings, so sit back, relax and enjoy tonight’s episode of Almost Canon.

The story of the Donner Party is one of perseverance; survival; and hope. It really is the 19th century equivalent to the original Thanksgiving story. It even includes a feast…..and while there’s no actual Thanksgiving tradition, the themes are all there. 

    So in honor of this historic event, we’re taking another look at the Donner Party and specifically the land where their ordeal took place. Because it should surprise no one that paranormal activities are reported to happen at and around the Donner Lake area. 

    We’ve got a couple short stories as well as two longer ones. The first dealing with something strange happening at a truck stop while the second story involves a camper and his dog finding something very unnerving while camping near Donner lake. 

     Then after these spine chilling tales of horror, we’ll be playing a bonus episode-in-a-episode and that’s our remastered episode on the Donner Party. I suggest that everyone checking out the episode sticks around for the Donner Party episode. Out of 118 episodes of Almost Canon, the Donner Party episodes is still one of my all time favorites.

The beast of the Land Between the Lakes is one of cryptozoology’s most frightening and well known tales. It’s the story of a terrifying monster, one thats wondered the woods of the recreation area, long before it was called the ‘land between the lakes’. 

     So what is the story behind the beast of the land between the lakes, otherwise known as the beast of the LBL? 

    Well, It’s definitely become more than just a physical location on the map. The LBL has become synonymous with not only terrifying cryptid encounters but some of the most gruesome cryptid encounters anyone has yet heard of. 

So this week we dive into the Land Between the Lakes and the beast that's said to roam its wilds. Now, you might think you know the whole story but there's more, way more! We've dug through subreddits and corroborating accounts to try and paint a better picture of what happened not only on that fateful day in 1982 but for what's been happening since before the LBL was even settled by European pioneers.

I for one thought I knew the story and had no idea there was so much more! We start by going over the entire LBL story and how it's been received by the cryptid community and then we dive into the history of the LBL and the LBR. Then after all that we dig into the good stuff! We go over several encounters from the LBL, one of which we were able to find three different views, giving the listeners interested in this story a great look into what may have happened back in 1982.

So if dogma is your thing and the beast of the LBL is something that interests you, this is an episode you won't want to miss!

While we’re not too fond of winter, spooky season is maybe our favorite time of year here at Almost Canon. Now my favorite part aren’t all the delicious smells; beautiful colors or the fact that we finally get to wear flannels and sweatshirts. No, my favorite part of the Halloween season are the movies! 

     Like, ya, sure, you can watch horror movies any time of year but there’s somthing special about watching scary movies on or before Halloween.  In fact, most horror movies take place in the summer, not the fall. There are very few scary movies that take place around Halloween. But that doesn’t matter, I literally fill September and October with horror movies. Nothing but horror movies. 

So what I wanted to do tonight was take a few of my favorites and go over the real life mysteries and true crime cases that inspired some of our favorite horror movies. 

     So I’ve taken a nightmare on elm street; Scream and the Shining. 

     The creators and writers of All three of these movies were inspired by something weird or horrific that’s happened in the real world. 

But before we dive into the main topic, Nick has taken an old encounter we received on the show and turned it into story format. We’ll hear from Stephen who was bow hunting in Wyoming when he found had to seek shelter in an abandoned house during a rain storm. However, whoever or whatever resided within the home certainly didn’t want him there. While the small details have been created to add a sense of reality to the world, the events and how they happened haven’t been changed. But it’s a good one, just in time for Halloween!

After Stephen’s story Nick recounts the true events that inspired ‘A Nightmare On Elm Street; Scream; and The Shining.

These real life stories are incredibly strange as well as incredibly brutal. *WARNING* for all those going into the real life true crime case behind Scream, it is a horrific story.
