What's hiding in the woods of Vermont? Paranormal researcher and former private investigator Jason Lorefice has spent over 10 years investigating the strange, the bizarre, and the unexplained. Not widely acknowledged, the Green Mountain state has been home to a population of large hairy hominids we most commonly refer to today as "Bigfoot" or "Sasquatch." In his quest, Lorefice has investigated and documented several dozen cases of eyewitness accounts of mysterious hairy bipedal creatures that roam our Green Mountains. Reports of these Sasquatch creatures are nothing new to the state of Vermont. In early times, English settlers describe experiencing such creatures in the night with glowing red eyes and ear piercing screams. Eyewitness accounts date far back as the 1800's where some residents of Bennington describe their encounters with the "Bennington Monster." It's in the Glastonbury Mountains where 7 people have mysteriously vanished under very strange circumstances. Who or what is to blame for these mysterious disappearances? There's never any shortage of theories. Lorefice gives us plenty of evidence suggesting that Bigfoot is more than just an urban legend. 

Paul and Allen chat with Jason to discuss his experiences, stories and what other type of Cryptids are really out there. Jason got disconnected. If you have any questions for Jason for his return please comment below.

Vermonters are a frugal bunch and have been for many generations. In order to save energy during a long, cold Vermont winter, the truly ingenious old-time Vermont natives would find a way conserve food and heat….by freezing their old folks, for the duration of winter, and thawing them out in the spring time!

We look at a very interesting story that occurred on Valentines Day in 1984. Where a farm cow, was killed by a mysterious flying saucer.

This story comes courtesy from Joseph Citro’s “Vermont Odditorium”.

During a bitterly frigid winter night in the late 1800’s, a fire occurred on the original railroad trestle in Hartford, VT. The Montreal Express, a train with passenger cars carrying 78 people, derailed and burned. Tragically, thirty-six people were crushed, drowned or burned alive, including a boy and his father. To date, this was Vermont’s worst railroad disaster.

Over the last two centuries, people with enterprising ideas have envisioned it as a place of business. Four hotel fires later, they were left to wonder: was it coincidence that led to their failure, or the curse of Brunswick Springs?

Brunswick Springs is located well off the main road in Brunswick, VT., a town of approximately 100 residents in the Northeast Kingdom. There are six individual springs at the spot, and each allegedly contains a different mineral-iron, calcium, magnesium, sulfur, bromide and arsenic-that flow into the Connecticut River 65 feet below.

A Supernatural Condition

In 1874 he became aware of the séances of the Eddy Brothers of Chittenden, Vermont. His interest aroused, Olcott wrote an article for the New York Sun, in which he investigated Eddy Farms. His article was popular enough that other papers, such as the New York Daily Graphic, republished it. His 1874 publication People from the Other World began with his early articles concerning the Spiritualist movement.

Also in 1874, Olcott met Helena Blavatsky while both were visiting the Eddy farm. His foundational interest in the Spiritualist movement and his budding relationship with Blavatsky helped foster his development of spiritual philosophy.

The Eddy Brothers were William and Horatio Eddy, two American mediums best known in the 1870’s, who claimed psychic powers.
