Campfire: Tales of the Strange and Unsettling

This week, we had the pleasure of sitting down with our friend and fellow Fortean philosopher, Aaron Deese! He hosts the Hey, Strangeness podcast alongside his wife Sara and has quickly become a pillar of the community. We discussed his history with anomalous experiences, rural Florida ritual sites, the current state of cryptozoology, and our shared lifelong love affair with literature! Go support everything this man does. He’s a gem.

In March of 1978, a 39-year old service engineer named Kenneth Edwards had an alarming run in with an anomalous entity. This hulking humanoid stood near eight feet tall, at least three feet shoulder to shoulder, and appeared to be bright metallic silver from head to toe. After an aggressive encounter where Edwards was blasted with some type of energy discharge, a police investigation ensued. What evidence was discovered? What corroborating accounts were recorded? What is Warrington’s history with UFO sightings? All of these questions and more will be answered, but mostly the most important question.

IS THIS A ROBOT FRANKENSTEIN FROM OUTER SPACE!?

This week, we had the pleasure of sitting down with our dear friend, Jeremiah Byron. He is a beloved member of the Fortean podcasting community. He is the founder the cryptozoology club on Clubhouse and the host of The Bigfoot Society podcast. The accolades do not stop there. He is a community organizer, a seemingly endless font of curiosity and insight, and to be completely honest, we are just very lucky to call him our friend. So strap in and get ready for a conversation about Bigfoot, the Van meter visitor, podcasting, UFOs, work-home life balance, hollow earth, and be sure to stick around until the end for some truly invaluable advice for anyone considering making their own run at the podcasting game.

In 1962, a car rolled off the Chrysler assembly line that would lead to untold amounts of suffering. This particular Dodge 330 would come be known as the Golden Eagle. Over the course of 40 years this vehicle would be connected to the deaths of over 30 people. From several bizarre suicides to lightning strikes and outright poltergeist activity, this vehicle that served as the inspiration for Stephen King’s Christine has wreaked havoc on the countryside of Maine for nearly half a century. Get ready for the...

This week, we had the pleasure of sitting down with Addey Lloyd. She is the Administrative Manager for one of our favorite podcasts in the world: Monsters Among Us. We discuss her history with the paranormal and they’re some of the friendliest, nicest ghost stories we’ve ever heard! On a decidedly less friendly note, we discuss her experience ghost hunting in some of Wyoming’s most haunted locations. Enjoy!

Following one of the bloodiest battles in United States Military History, the Battle of Okinawa, a minor air strip was acquired by Allied forces. Yara Hikojo Airfield soon became Kadena Air Base. Over the next 60 years the small set of runways would transform into the single largest U.S. military installation in the Eastern Hemisphere. But personal and aware acreage were not the only things to build up over time here. Well over 200,000 human beings died violent deaths here in a period of 82 days. I don’t think anyone would be shocked to find that this place is very very haunted.

This week, we had the pleasure of sitting down with close friend of the show and real life camp counselor, David Chastain. He describes his first encounter with the paranormal, the difficulty and excitement of what seems to be a lifelong attachment with a shadow person, and get nostalgic about the years he spent scaring children around a campfire as a real life honest to goodness camp counselor. So, strap in and enjoy these tried and true summer time scares!

In September of 1994, the private Ariel School in The Ruwa region of Zimbabwe was set upon by three amorphous alien crafts. A group of 62 school children had an encounter that would change their lives forever. Telepathically communicated messages of impending terrestrial doom filled their minds as they watched a pair of otherworld creatures float around them. Strap in for one of the wildest mass sightings in the history of ufology.

This week, we have for you another grand mystery! The lighthouse at Eilean Mor was constructed in December of 1899. In that first year, it was manned and maintained by a team of four proven and dedicated lighthouse keepers that consisted of a Head Keeper, two Assistant Keepers, and an Occasional Keeper that alternated with each man every three months. One year into their station, the light went dark. Upon investigation, it became clear that the three men had vanished without a trace!
