In this episode of Expanded Perspectives, Kyle takes the reins solo at Skelekin Studios. Don’t worry, he’s got plenty of fascinating stories to share! First, he dives into a chilling account of a Duende encounter that happened during a late-night basketball game in Mexico. Then, a listener calls in to recount a possible Bigfoot sighting in Washington state. After the break, Kyle explores the mysterious and seemingly impossible encounters people have had with gnomes, trolls, and Duendes.

Few phenomena are as peculiar in the realm of the weird and unexplained as reports of real-life gnome sightings. These mysterious beings, complete with diminutive statures, beards, and iconic pointy hats, seem like something straight out of a fairy tale. While the idea of encountering such creatures might sound absurd—given their deep roots in mythology—numerous accounts from people across all walks of life suggest otherwise. This show will delve into fascinating stories of gnomes or duende sightings that defy explanation.

In this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys start the show by talking about how Kyle over-ate right before the show. Then, a giant white lizard and a Sasquatch battle each other while the witness observes the confrontation while hiking in the Washington forest near Kirkland. Next, two disembodied voices lure a person near Lake Tahoe into the woods. What was trying to trick them into the forest? If the first story wasn't crazy enough for you, two Southern Georgia hunters encounter remarkable upright cryptids at the exact location. The hunters then watch the cryptid pair fight as one kills the other!

After the break, Cam brings up some strange cases involving livestock being mutilated for some unknown reason. The bovine corpses stunned the ranchers who found them. The animals' ears, eyes, udders, anuses, sex organs, and tongues had routinely been removed, seemingly with a sharp, clean instrument. Their carcasses had been drained of blood. No tracks or footprints were found in the immediate vicinity—nor were any of the usual opportunistic scavengers.

Between April and October of 1975, nearly 200 cases of cattle mutilation were reported in the state of Colorado alone. Far from being mere tabloid fodder, it had become a nationally recognized issue: That year, the Colorado Associated Press voted it the state's number one story. Colorado's then-senator Floyd Haskell asked the Federal Bureau of Investigation to get involved. Theories range from Satanic Cults to Extra-Terrestrials. Finally, a group of Native American teens went camping near a sacred tribal area. While sitting by the fire, a Javelina with glowing red eyes steps out of the bushes and instantly alarms the witness!

They recount the excitement of their live show, Deep Thoughts with Expanded Perspectives, at Blurry Con in Franklin, Tennessee. Later, a listener writes in with a chilling childhood memory of a massive canine creature watching him through a window—standing upright on its hind legs. The hosts also dive into the tale of four young boys in Crimea who witnessed a strange, humanoid creature crawling over a fence, a being they later named “The Slug.” After the break, Kyle explores more bizarre encounters, including an attack by a giant bird and a possible dinosaur sighting in a lake. All this and more on this intriguing installment of Expanded Perspectives!

On this eerie episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off with an update on their upcoming journey to Tennessee and the strange happenings around Skelekin Studios. But soon, things take a dark turn: a Michigan man and his daughter, driving through a torrential downpour, encounter a lone figure in the road—only to watch in horror as the man morphs into a monstrous, wolf-like creature! Next, a chilling story unfolds as a witness from Kentucky recounts a brush with an unnaturally tall, skeletal biped lurking in the shadows. Disturbed and seeking answers, he wonders: what did he encounter?

After the break, they welcome the legendary Lon Strickler from Phantoms and Monsters. A renowned cryptid researcher and recent guest on Unsolved Mysteries, Lon shares insights into the wave of winged, Mothman-like creatures haunting North America. The conversation dives into terrifying encounters with Glimmer Man and the sinister Brown Crawlers. All this and more spine-tingling tales await in this installment of Expanded Perspectives!

In this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off with exciting news about their upcoming trip to Tennessee, where they’ll make their first in-person appearance on the Ducks Unlimited Podcast. They also read a listener’s email detailing a wild encounter with an enormous, upright-walking creature—described as a “Not Deer.” Next, they share a story from a Mississippi eyewitness, recounting a memorable sighting in 1972 of a glowing white creature with membranous wings—a vision that’s lingered with them ever since.

After the break, Kyle dives into the eerie world of Phantom Vehicles. The road often has unexpected hazards—harsh weather, unpredictable conditions, and the constant risk of accidents. The atmosphere grows even more foreboding at night as headlights flicker over lane markings and shadows dart across the pavement. These natural dangers blend with an unsettling, almost supernatural quality, hinting at mysteries beyond our usual understanding of what lurks on the open road. Tales of ghostly apparitions and inexplicable events are familiar along highways, covering everything from haunted places to spectral figures and unearthly encounters that defy logic. Among these are stories of phantom-like vehicles and their mysterious drivers—seemingly otherworldly presences that vanish as quickly as they appear, evading any attempt to comprehend them fully.

In this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off by chatting about the warm weather and Kyle's recent experience watching the new Candyman movie, among other things. Then, they dive into a series of strange encounters, starting with a woman from Missouri who, along with her friend and brother, recalls a chilling encounter with a massive, pig-faced dog they spotted near their childhood home. Next, they explore the fascinating and unsettling story of Bruce Cornet, M.S., Ph.D., one of two witnesses allegedly abducted by unknown entities near the Massanutten Mountain ski resort in Virginia. Cornet, a long-time AOP researcher and contributor to the National Institute for Discovery Science, brings a unique perspective to the strange events that occurred that evening.

After the break, Cam delves into haunting tales of alien abduction—stories where the line between nightmare and reality blurs. These eerie encounters raise a troubling question: What do these extraterrestrial beings want from us? While many focus on cold, clinical experiments, there seems to be a darker, more disturbing purpose behind many abductions—impregnation. And it's not just women who are subjected to these unearthly tasks; men, too, are drawn into an unimaginable role. Alien abductions, once dismissed as fantasy or hoax, may represent recovered memories—fragments of truth that are often bizarre, unsettling, and hard to believe. The challenge of distinguishing between real memories and false ones has long troubled psychiatrists and abductees alike, especially as these claims echo the controversial cases involving childhood trauma, satanic cults, and other difficult-to-prove experiences.

Finally, Cam shares one of the wildest stories ever told on the show: a man from Rogersville, PA, recounts an extraordinary encounter he and his two brothers had with three strange 'Dogwomen.' Incredibly, one of the brothers even fed these mysterious creatures! All of this and more on this installment of Expanded Perspectives!

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the hosts kick things off by sharing their experience at the Texas State Fair. Held annually in Dallas at the historic Fair Park, the State Fair of Texas has been a beloved tradition since 1886, with only a few interruptions during World War I, World War II, and in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The fair typically runs from the last Friday in September for 24 days. Kyle then shares a story about his recent outing to the movies with his youngest son, Luke, to see the gruesome Terrifier 3. Next, they dive into some intriguing news stories. An outdoorsman and mushroom forager spots a small, bipedal humanoid wandering through the woods—something far from a typical forest animal. Then, they explore a chilling encounter in the mountains near Gatlinburg, TN, where a couple comes face-to-face with a human-sized creature that shapeshifts into a smaller entity. Later, two women driving near Hillsboro, Ohio, witness a strange, pitch-black quadruped with eerie white eyes emerging from the tall grass. After the break, a hiker in Wisconsin believes they may have encountered a "Glimmer Man" while walking on a park trail. Finally, a grandfather recounts a childhood memory of encountering several "ape-men" while panning for gold with his family near Elliot Lake, Ontario.

In this episode of Expanded Perspectives, Kyle is solo in Skelekin Studios, as Cam has been under the weather all week before heading off on vacation in Oklahoma. Wasting no time, Kyle dives straight into some eerie stories. First, he shares the unsettling experience of a Pennsylvania teenager haunted by visions of a Goatman appearing in his bedroom at night. However, the creature hasn’t returned in the 22 years since the man still feels lingering anxiety from the encounters. Next, Kyle recounts the story of a Wisconsin resident who ventured into the Northwoods backcountry. After stopping his truck to get some rest, something mysteriously rocked the vehicle. Though he didn’t see anything, he quickly drove away, unnerved by the experience.

After the break, Kyle brings us some strange stories about time slips. We encountered a peculiar story several years ago while working on the show. Some hikers had reportedly spent the night at the Wythburn Inn, only to be later informed that this was impossible—the inn had been submerged during the creation of the Thirlmere Reservoir in 1894. A similar tale emerged from France, where British travelers stayed at an old-fashioned hotel but, on their return journey, found that it no longer existed. Another account involves tourists on a bus who spotted an appealing hotel, got off at the next stop, and walked back, only to find the area wholly different and the hotel nowhere to be seen. There's also the story of two young women who set off one evening to attend a village dance a few miles away but traversed an eerie and unfamiliar landscape that seemed far from the one they knew. These strange anecdotes are examples of what's known as a "time-slip"—a type of psychical phenomenon. These incidents seem to fall into two main categories: in the first, people inadvertently find themselves in a place that existed only in the past; in the second, they enter a familiar place that is altered, leaving them confused and disoriented. Explaining these occurrences rationally is challenging, especially when those involved appear genuinely shaken or perplexed. Dismissing them as fabrications seems unfair, and in cases where the experience is shared, attributing it to hallucination feels overly simplistic. Like many paranormal phenomena, rational explanations may be more comfortable, but these stories remain mysterious and difficult to explain fully.

In this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off by discussing the upcoming deer season and their plans to visit the Texas State Fair. Kyle shares his love for donuts and chocolate milk, admitting that he has to avoid donut shops to resist temptation consciously. Then, the show turns into the strange as an upstate New York resident recounts a sighting his partner had, followed by the witness's eerie encounter with an upright goat-human hybrid. Next, an Oklahoma teen has a chilling experience when he wakes up for a drink and spots a red-eyed humanoid outside his window, radiating malevolence. In another disturbing encounter, a young boy faces a strange humanoid figure crouched in the corner of his bedroom, its features unnervingly inhuman.

After the break, Cam delves into bizarre encounters with what can only be described as "Road Trolls." These unsettling creatures, explored in detail by author Jerry D. Coleman in his books Strange Highways and More Strange Highways, are frequently reported by truckers traveling along dark highways in the Southern and Midwestern U.S. Witnesses often describe a prominent, hairy, troll-like figure dressed in tattered clothing, sometimes with a wooden peg leg. What begins as a sighting of a drifter quickly escalates into something far more disturbing as the true nature of these road-dwelling creatures becomes apparent.
