Step into the shadows with us as we dive into a new collection of chilling listener stories. These a reported true encounters that blur the line between the natural and the supernatural. From ghostly presences tugging at sleeping limbs to strange sounds echoing through the woods of South Georgia, this episode is packed with eerie moments that linger long after the lights go out.

We also explore the strange world of Mandela Effects, where collective memory twists reality in unexpected ways. Al Capone, the Lindbergh baby, and more, what do you remember?

Oh, and one listener may have been visited by a Men in Black agent who looked suspiciously like Nic Cage. So yes… we’re asking the real questions now: Is Nicolas Cage secretly working for the MIB.

In This Episode:

• A haunting in a family home and the unsettling pull of unseen hands

• Mysterious forest sounds near a military base that terrify even the dogs

• Yes, a possible Men in Black encounter featuring a Nic Cage doppelgänger

• How to safely explore the unknown when your environment feels… off

• Mandela Effects that challenge what we think we know about history

• Practical tips for setting boundaries, staying safe, and navigating paranormal encounters

Whether you’re a believer, a skeptic, or simply curious, these stories remind us that the world is far stranger than it seems and that none of us face the unknown alone.

In this episode we dive deep into the history and lore of Appalachian Witches, also known as Granny Magic. We look into its origins and regional derivations from folk healers to wise women, to the witch women of the woods. Then we follow that up with some common rituals and spells to add to your own repertoire.

Finally, we delve into the misnamed Bell Witch legend, not that it isn't scary, just it doesn't have much to do with witches.

We sit down with Anthony Sakovich, an Anthropologist Research Scientist and Chief Research Exploration Officer for the National Explorers Society. He has spent decades decoding the lost belief systems and celestial frameworks of ancient Egypt, and he’s here to separate fact from fiction.

In this interview, we explore the truth behind the so‑called “Pharaoh’s Curse,” the biggest legends that still puzzle archaeologists, and the mysteries surrounding forbidden tombs, unexplained artifacts, and forgotten technologies. We'll dig into how sacred geometry and star maps shaped pyramid construction and what modern expeditions are uncovering in the field.

Anthony doesn’t study history from a distance. Through the NES, he leads real‑world investigations into archaeological anomalies and the enigmas that continue to challenge researchers. Whether you’re fascinated by history, drawn to ancient mysteries, or simply love a good curse story, this livestream will change the way you see Egypt’s past.

Set a reminder and join us for a live Q&A at the end. Bring your questions about mummies, myths, and even the stranger theories people whisper about.

And yes, before you even ask, we’re absolutely bringing up aliens.

Mark explains to Erica the origins of some of the earliest Bigfoot tales. Sadly, most are easy to question or outright debunk. From some of the first documented encounters of the Yeti to Ape Canyon, and even the Patterson-Gimlin film itself, the team examines the confessions of hoaxers, the questioned evidence, and those that swear that these encounters are still real. Listen and then decide for yourself.

We're not saying all Sasquatch encounters aren't real. Just some of them have questionable origins. We're very sorry to disappoint some of you.
