In Rome Township, 1981, the summer sky was illuminated by bizarre lights, terrible screams, and the crack and boom of desperate gunfire echoing like thunder in the distance.

Journey with us back in time — when a quiet Ohio summer night was shattered by a multi-night siege, as a family found themselves under attack by horrific creatures, shadow entities, and anomalous assaults from the sky.

Join us as we recount this extraordinary account from Dennis Pilichis’ investigation, Night Siege.

🛸 👣 This case echoes phenomena seen at infamous places like Skinwalker Ranch — but with its own uniquely horrifying Ohio twist.

🐉 What if dragons weren’t just myth—but memory? In this episode, we dive claw-first into the strange possibility that fire-breathing dragons actually once soared our skies (and maybe still do! 😬).

From bat-winged apparitions over an ancient abbey in England to ancient accounts of sky serpents, we ignite the dusty bones of this maybe not so mythical beast, and present our own bio-chemical fire-breathing theory to explain the existence and physical disappearance one of humanity’s oldest—and most persistent—monsters. So grab your dragon apocalypse bug-out bags, Belieflings, because this one’s gonna be... lit! 🔥🐉 (sorry, had to do it ;)
