Castles & Cryptids

Near death experiences. Are they as life-changing as TV would have us believe? Does everyone that comes close to their demise see a bright light or do they simply survive and live to fight another day?

We explore some famous and lesser known brushes with death, as well as some stories of survival to surpass all odds. Meet the man who spent the longest at sea on a tiny boat (over a year!) and find out which of the Man in Black, Johnny Cash's animals that almost gutted him out of pure heartbreak. Then hear how far back near death experiences have been recorded, and how close one can come to being taken too soon, by complete accident. Hope you have a unique name!! :)

Hiya Cryptic Cuties, we have another special ep for you, this time from the trio over at Paranormal Peeps. Hosts Josh, Jamey, and Aleca cover many haunted locations, as well as cryptids and sometimes even true crime. For their Camp Floyd ep they talk with guest Wendi from Demolished Salt Lake podcast all about the military camp, why it was built and the struggles that the soldiers faced. We hope you enjoy, and check back next week for the last ep our Darkcast takeover.

Most of us can agree that the deep ocean can be scary as hell. There's even a specific word for the phobia of large underwater creatures or objects that I bet lots of us have- it's called megalohydrothalassophobia. But what's even scarier than the water itself, we ask? It's always the bad people who make this such a frightening place to be. Come hop on our lifeboat as we plunge into International waters!

Alanna's case is just as mystifying, if not more so. There's several players involved, but the main characters were on a honeymoon just like Kelsey's couple, and it turned into a dark cocktail of drinking, discord, and dark intentions. The case of George Smith IV is a mind-boggling web of witness statements, secret videos and the death of one half of this promising young couple, just starting out on their lives together. One thing is for sure, when it comes to law and order, the high seas are sometimes a hard, dangerous place to be.

Hey everyone, for this weeks episode we dove into 2 more cases of bizarre Government conspiracies. Kelsey covers a dark spot in Canada's history, a time when the fear of spies and communists led the Government to funnel thousands into a "Gaydar" to better weed out any Homosexual workers. Targeting and investigating thousands of government, RCMP and Military employees. Alanna shares the story of Project Montauk; a strange tale of underground superheroes and some of the tests they endured. If this sounds familiar, is has inspired multiple tv shows including a very popular Netflix show. Can you guess which one?
