Belief Hole | Paranormal, Mysteries and Other Tasty Thought Snacks

Thunderbirds, Mantis Man and Fairies, oh jeez! Strange and unexplained disappearances have become a fascination for folks interested in mysteries, the paranormal, and all flavors of the unknown- especially since David Paulides' “Missing 411” has come on the scene. But it may be interesting and helpful to consider some fantastic creatures and strange entities that have been encountered in the wilderness and wilds of national parks and elsewhere, where so many have disappeared. Fairies and other supernatural beings have been a scapegoat for countless abductions and unexplained deaths across cultures since mankind could first say “AHHHH!” Is there a reason that so many cultures corroborate descriptions of similar entities and hidden folk in their lore and mythology?

Whether you’re a follower of the Faerie Faith, curious about 7-foot mantis people encounters, or are just open-minded enough to hesitate going into the woods at night, you may want to stick around for these stories. So, lock the doors, light a candle for those who’ve been lost, and never talk ill of the ‘good people’.

Explore the eerie and uncharted waters of sea monster lore in our latest podcast episode. We dive into the chilling 1962 Pensacola Florida Sea Serpent Incident, recounted by Edward Brian McCleary, and navigate the mysterious waters of the 1899 Seneca Lake Monster Attack. The debate continues with a skeptical perspective from David Goudsward on the Pensacola Sea Serpent. Journey with us through historical accounts like Captain Hare's encounter with a behemoth at Trinity Shoal Lightship and Henry Milligan's Washington Times sea serpent story. We also ponder the intriguing question: Did dragons exist as misidentified dinosaur bones? This episode, enriched with trending topics like cryptozoology, historical mysteries, and marine biology, also previews an expansion into time slips and glitches in reality, while addressing the skeptical argument of the oarfish and exploring the 1413 Catalonian Map's giant fish tales. Join us for a deep dive into historical sea serpent corroboration, including the earliest North American sea monster account by John Jocelyn in 1639, and Edward Preble's 1779 Cassie Monster encounter. Don't miss this blend of history, mystery, and marine adventure in our special sea monster podcast episode!"

Also.. Jon's sauna breaks, Dolphin speed debates and the Wizards hid the dragons!

What better time to tell some creepy tales of the modern-day werewolf: the dogman. With cryptid sightings increasing, we wanted to once again explore the potential reality of the dogman phenomenon through witness encounters as well as corroborated historical evidence, with some ancient artifacts thrown in for good measure.

Almost never do we hear of an encounter where the dogman has harmed a human. The primary goal of these questionably-corporeal canine cryptids seem to be to elicit maximum fear from the victim before vanishing into the night. Could these creatures be simply feeding on our darkest energies produced during an extreme state of terror? And have these fear-eating, terror-tasters been engorging themselves on our fear, and the fright of our ancestors throughout recorded history?

Join us as we answer all these questions to absolute and unquestioned satisfaction… as much as possible based on the evidence we’ve been able to gather. Hint…. THEY’RE REAL!

Also.. fear vending machines, ancient space werewolf theory, and Jon really wants to know what dogman does all day

Explore the enigmatic world of the unseen in our latest podcast episode, where we delve into the mysterious phenomenon of the Glimmer Man and other invisible entities. We introduce the concept of the Glimmer Man (08:51), a Predator-like entity, and discuss the intriguing Invisible Terrestrial Entities (ITEs) observed through Santilli telescopes (10:32).

Delve into the attributes of these Predator-like invisible entities, including their translucence and distinct clicking sounds (14:30), and hear a spine-tingling story of an encounter with what could be an angel or a cloaked humanoid (17:09). The episode also speculates on the possibility of these phenomena being tests of secret cloaking technology (24:46) and references Invisible Aliens as reported in Fortean Times (26:49).

In our Expansion Preview (30:36), we venture into New Orleans Lore and the Beast of the Bayou, adding a cryptid twist to the invisible phenomena. The episode also features a fascinating discussion about the mythical Ring of Gyges from Plato's Republic (34:43) and its discovery (39:16). Listen to eerie stories of encounters with invisible entities (44:23, 53:25, 54:06) and consider the Bigfoot cloaking theory in "Where the Footsteps End" (50:01).

As we weave through these narratives, we touch upon the potential of invisible entities in the woods as an explanation for the Missing 411 mystery (01:05:44), and look at the current state of cloaking technologies (01:07:35). The episode concludes with a nod to our loyal listeners (01:16:56) and a teaser for our upcoming New Orleans-themed expansion episode (01:17:48)

Any conspiracy theorist worth his salt has experienced being the weird guy at the party, trying to recount some evidence to prove his perspective after maybe one too many bourbons, and then suddenly asked.. "so who are THEY anyway?" If you've been in this position, well fear not! On this episode, we're going to track the origins of the Illuminati and provide some evidence for its potential infiltration into the unsuspecting brotherhood of the Freemasons and alleged, continued influence in society today.

We summon and analyze archaic letters from George Washington admitting his concern of the Illuminati corruption of early America before opening the closet to expose a couple skeletons of the Skull and Bones. Finally, we peer through the esoteric firelight of the Bohemian Grove and pull back the curtain on its creepy naked elite attendees, while analyzing evidence for its direct connection to the Bavarian Illuminati.

At the edge of the world, one person stands to face the mysterious foggy abyss that is the sea. This is the isolating, maddening, treacherous job of the lighthouse keeper. And although automation has relegated much of this harrowing work to occupational history, there are many bizarre, creepy and mysterious happenings that make up the lantern-lit library of lighthouse lore.

From first hand accounts of occult vandalism and ghostly restroom requesters at West Quoddy Head Lighthouse, to the classic and captivating ghost girl hauntings/ lost lighthouse keeper spirits of the Seguin Lighthouse, we explore the mystery and possible explanations behind the seemingly supernatural phenomena in the craggy mists of these iconic places, and discuss the kraken, fortean fog, and all matter of paranormal at the prosperous of landly existence.
