The deeper narrative of what a Skinwalker actually is goes much deeper than just some shape shifter that can transform into an animal. The Navajo or Diné people continue to believe that a medicine man or woman can become a skinwalker if they were to commit an atrocity on their own family or clan. It’s not some myth, it's part of their continued religion that things can and do happen. 

As for Skinwalker Ranch, it might just be a battleground for warring tribes of Native Americans where their respective Skinwalkers roam. Fascinating!

Phun with Phobias! Of course we start with a history lesson on what phobia means and where it came from. The Greeks did it again! Then we get into a bunch of rational and irrational fears. As irrational as some sound people do get diagnosed with them, because they actually exhibit fight or flight response to some of these things.

Something spooked the Suttons and their guests so much that they fled their home to alert the local authorities on the night of August 21, 1955 and into the morning of August 22. The simplest explanation is a Great Horned Owl doing owl things, but would an owl really cause so much chaos at one place for hours and hours? Maybe this incident was a bit more out of this world.

Ahhh Teletubbies those lovable technicolor creatures with screens in their bellies that would dance around on your television and entertain young children. They look and sound innocent enough, but what if we told you they allegedly have some seriously dark inspirations? This week we’re asking What Are Dark Theories Of The Teletubbies?

A creature of cryptozoology? A hoax? Some kind of hybrid of real life animals that was trained to kill? Possibly an out of place animal just surviving? Or more simply than that a larger version of an animal that is native to the region? Regardless of any out of this world or fully within the realms of possibility theories something or multiple somethings was/were killing people, not animals, in the hills of mid 18th century France. A singular creature was to blame by not only the people of the region, but the ruling aristocracy at the time. So we ask What Is The Beast of Gévaudan?

“Mr. CrowleyWhat went on in your head?
Oh, Mr. CrowleyDid you talk to the dead?

Your lifestyle to me seemed so tragic
With the thrill of it all
You fooled all the people with magic
Yeah, you waited on Satan's call”

• Mr Crowley by Ozzy Osbourne

This week we’re asking Who Was Aleister Crowley? In our abbreviated history of his life we touch on a few moments that defined who the man was. I started listening to Perdurabo, The Life Of Aleister Crowley by Richard Kacynski. However, that is a 30 hour audiobook. We’re not planning on covering every little aspect of his life, but we may revisit him sometime in the future.

Happy September....that is if you heed the warning "Do not let them in" then your September will be happy. In this episode we're asking Who Or What Are The Black-Eyed Children? Maybe they just want a ride to their mom's house to get money to see a movie. Maybe they just need to call their parents to come pick them up. Maybe they just need a snack. Whatever excuse they give you Do Not Let Them In, because consequences will occur if you invite them in.

Why Did The Salem Witch Trials Occur? The Puritans couldn’t stand non-conformity! You needed to be a good little automaton for that society or you would likely be branded a witch….by some teenage girls who dreamed you were a witch?! What!? Yup the powers that be in Salem, MA in 1692 believed teenage girls who claimed people were witches when they dreamed about them. People died because of “spectral evidence”??

We finished up our unintentional two part episode asking What Is Witchcraft. Foennix referenced Hocus Pocus plenty of times. Definitely some spoilers if you haven’t seen either movie. In our witchcraft spell crafting ignorance we attempted to explore what it would take to make a spell to have someone make spaghetti come from their fingers, which of course turned into trying to make an entire spaghetti meal come from your hands; salad, noodles, sauce, and we can’t forget the garlic bread. A production of the Wayward Things Network

What Is Witchcraft?Well it turns out Foennix is pretty passionate about witchcraft and magic type interests. She really gets into movies and shows about witchcraft and magic users. She's so passionate in fact we had to turn this episode into a two parter! You gotta listen to all the things she's talking about related to witchcraft! A production of the Wayward Things Network
